Apparently he had an abdominal muscle injury and that is why he didn't feature in the first match. Marek says it is a straight fight between him and David Jarolim for a starting place today.

Is there a report somewhere then... link?

Not hard to find!

Which is exactly why I didn't respond. Some people want you to do everything for them.

[rg6royal]

Really looking forward to this now!

Come on the Czech's!

[Alan Partridge]

Good luck Marek! Had to Czech he was playing first.

[Zammo]

When he looks around the dressing room does he think "I wish Harps, Oster & Hunt were Czech too".

[rg6royal]

Good luck Marek! Had to Czech he was playing first.

There's always one!

What do you call an abortion in Prague?













A cancelled Czech....

[wiggso]

what do you call it when someone is thrown out of a Prague nightclub???

a bounced czech

[CMRoyal]

Well, that's not something Marek's used to - playing in a team that makes a promising* start but ends up going a goal down.





*according to the BBC. Stuck at work, so missing it....

1 - 1 Now! Setting up to be an exciting game!

[londinium]

Marek touched the ball, Marek touched the ball.

[Two Minutes]

According to the Guardian website:

21 min: Reading's Marek Matejovsky has impressed early on, lying deep in the Czech midfield and breaking up Portugal's play. Petit has another wild swing at goal, this one zips well wide

[Kitsondinho]

Maybe we could have an exciting even game for the first time in EURO 2008....Marek to score too


Oh anyone else fancy bumping up Marek's player rater on the bbc

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 389619.stm

Or bump it down, in case Steve Bruce is watching it!

[soggy biscuit]

Matejovsky stamps on Petit.

Hunt would be proud.

Matejovsky stamps on Petit.

Hunt would be proud.

I'd sent him an email asking how Matejovsky was doing, I don't know if this was in response to it. I don't think I've ever seen him as a "breaking up play" kind of player and in fact that was one of the things we missed last season.

[sucatraps]

"Marek is more combative today than ever seen at Reading" get yer foot in lad!

[Y21_Royal]

According to David Pleat he's playing for the Republic of Czechoslovakia

My inner pessimist is winning the reaction battle here - not too good, Marek, you don't want those pesky top division clubs enticing you with money and fame and medals and stuff.
