Back from the game, QPR

[Tredder]

Stewarts first yellow was laughable but even more laughable was WTF was he that far up the pitch for anyway, the game was nothing special, we didn't lose it more like we weren't allowed to win it, but it shows how bad the division is if teams like Reading QPR et al could make the play offs, although, i think last night nailed our coffin.

Matt Mills

bottom line is he has only dug his hole deeper by storming off after the game. Best thing for him and us is he apologies, gets reminded we pay his wages and then we all move on. I hope this doesnt escalate as he is our best cb and we need to remain focused to ensure we continue picking up points.

I disagree, the East Stand started it so they have to take the moral high ground and apologise. What has Mills got to apologise for? Surely the East Stand were not upset by his gesture whereas the player was upset by the East Stand's boos and no doubt his team mates were pretty pissed off with it as well.

Worse thing he can do is to not react, bottle it up and let it continue as Rougier, Hughes etc etc did and let it affect their performance.

Give me a player who has fire in his belly over one who accepts the boos and believes they are crap.

If the East Stand think they have a right to be loved by the players when they boo one of them then they had better get a reality check. Ironic that half of them were AWOL earlier in the season when the whole team were shit.

The sour grapes comment was apportioned to the gimptons in Y25, i've yet to see an uglier bunch of spazmos in a collective area, and the women were as bad, there was some young blonde bint giving it the bird and shouting her mouth off, her mum must be so proud.

While not seeking to defend our own gurning simpleton section of fans, do you not go to many away games?

[Silver Fox]

Fvcks sake tredds, I really didn't expect this level of sourness! At least you're prolly happier than the QPR fan on the bus to the game who was hoping Chelsea would win so at least his evening wouldn't be ruined if Rangers lost

Yes, and that corner sections win hands down, the premier league of gimptons, Foxers, my sour grapes also extend to the queue in the KFC, it knows no bounds.

Jolly japes in the office today then! I might "do a Matt Mills" to Tredds in a bit....

[winchester_royal]

QPR were IMO the best side we've seen at the Mad Stad since Boro. They were ruining us when they had 11 men, and we hardly had a sniff of goal until the last 10 minutes. Warnock knew how to shut us down, and their midfielder (Faurlin?) is clearly destined for better things.....

But it's 3 points, onwards and upwards..

[ZacNaloen]

I thought things were pretty even in the first half, with both teams having their moments of dominance. Then the sending off happened, I was disappointed to see QPR sit back in the second half. I thought with they way they had setup that they were going to come at us. It made for a difficult and frustrating game as we tried to break down a team that barely got out of their own half. Was a bit tasty at the end though.

Congratulations on celebrating a penalty win against 10 men, you'd have thought you'd have won the league, and this isn't sour grapes, but is there a bigger set of collective gimps than the east stand, booing your own player, scoring, and then singing his name, oh, and are all your player songs tunes derived from the 80's, i doubt if the players in questions have ever heard of the tune, not old enough, saying that, highlights were obviously Matt Mills and the embarrassing stewarding of singling out supporters for standing up and then writing their name into a pad for reference, what a joke, lowlights, the homer referee, the ccorner of the east stand and a very dubious double yellow card, which again, ruined a potentially good game, but from where you sit in the league, you have a genuine shot at the play offs, go get em Floyd.

you big feckin ghey

i didnt think they were that good, we just cancelled each other out

You do have to wonder sometimes....

Brian McDermott paid tribute to the never-say-die attitude of his players after a late goal saved Reading from a frustrating night against 10 men.

Royals looked like they would have to settle for a goalless draw before Jimmy Kebe was fouled in the area.

And again....

Then, with Royals piling on the pressure, Hill caught Kebe as he skipped past him on the by-line and referee Ward pointed to spot.

Must try harder

[The Surgeon of Crowthorne]

Well, we made bleedin hard work of that. I said to my mate at the game, half way through the first half, that it was clear we were playing a far better team than those (Villa excepted) we've met recently. I also thought that the ref wanted to be the centre of attention right from the way he strode away, whistle held high, from the first free kick award, so it was no suprise the match featured a sending off & penalty.
Again Tabb was MOTM for me.
Re Mills - I thought at the time that he wasn't so much being booed, more fans shouting "HOOF" each time he tried to ping it to Kebe but then I could be going mutton. Finger uncalled for, though - as was the sprint to leave the pitch at the final whistle.

"You don't often come to Reading and out-play them but we did and I have learned a lot about the players tonight.
"You can say that the red card cost us. We defended really well. Damion's first booking is never a booking in a million years. He never took his eye off the ball.
"But the second one was his own fault. What was the goalkeeper going to do other than kick the ball?
"He must have launched 100 kicks tonight so it was silly and he let his mates down."

Neil Warnock. never biased, never wrong and never loved.

He said on their website that 9 out of 10 refs would have given the penalty though it wasn't one..by his standards that makes it a stonewaller (which it was).

[ZacNaloen]

Just to add, how much must Warnock hate coming to Reading

They're not though, are they?!

They were on top most of the first half and considering they only had 10 men for all of the second, we were hardly able to capitalise on it.
