Games you remember because they were so good.

[Franchise FC]

Been here before, but here goes.........
Reading 7 - 0 Barnsley Xmas 79
Doncaster 7 - 5 Reading Nov 82
Reading 1 - 1 Man Utd Sept 06
Reading 0 -0 Southampton Nov 78 League Cup - sounds dull but a great evening game under the Elm Park lights
Doncaster 0 -1 Reading 1 Sept 85
Forest 03 as previosuly mentioned

I`ll have to look at my old programmes to remind me of some more !

Oh yes, anyone else see 4-0 v Aldershot, Easter Bank Holiday 79, Ollie Kearns hat-trick ?

That was a fantastic weekend !!
Really hot and three games (?)

[Hampshire Royal]

One game I remember is a game against Exeter in about 1976. It was a real ding-dong game with both sides looking like they might win. We won 4-3!!

Also, it might be my memory playing tricks mind, but I thought the victory over Leeds was in the year following our defeat to them. Bearing in mind that Leeds were a top team at the time.

Yes, 2-0 win at home to Pompey, 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and 4-0 win against the Shite.

[Franchise FC]

Yes, 2-0 win at home to Pompey, 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and 4-0 win against the Shite.

And no goals conceded

[Gordons Cumming]

2-0 Villa home.

Up 'n' at 'em two hours before daybreak on the coldest day of the winter, two buses to the pub for a 6:45 AM KO.

Since it was the day's early game, the bar was beginning to fill up with the Utd/Chelase/Toon/'Pool gloryseekers as Sidwell finished off his brace late on.

Also my 40th and the day that BHO announced his candidacy. Doesn't get any better, although 3-1 over Tottenham at home under similar circumstances comes close.

Little made Barry look slow that day.

[Ups and Downs]

Reading 2 - Bolton 1: 1995, I think it was Nogan who scored the winner from a beautiful outside of the boot over the top curling pass from Osborn. The south bank mental and I well and truly crushed in the celebrations. We all know what happened next time we met them.

[Agent Balti]

Reading 2-1 Wigan - Play-off Semi-Final.

Up until the 106 season, I'd never heard an atmosphere like it. The whole ground was absolutely jumping. The second half comeback after Wigan took the lead was just outstanding. Forster being totally unplayable, wave after wave of Reading attack that just failed to score...time and time again we attacked but couldn't get the goal back. The tension was just unbearable. Somehow, that second half last a lifetime.

Also, the only game where I've actually shed a tear, probably more in relief that anything else.

(Only to fcuk it up at the Millenium Stadium, which is up there as one of THE most disappointing Reading games I've ever witnessed.)

Reading 1-1 Cardiff, 26th December 2008

[cmonurz]

Reading 4-3 Oxford, Tony Rougier scoring a winning brace in the pissing rain, and from that day to this, as a result of that performance, I remain convinced Rougier is a footballing god.

And it will already have been mentioned but I can't be arsed trawling the thread - never have I felt better at a football match than the last 10 minutes of the play-off semi final with Wigan. It's what boyhood footballing dreams are made of, your team down and out, facing elimination, summoning up hitherto untold amounts of skill, passion and old fashioned guts to pull a remarkable win out of nowhere.

Reading 4-3 Oxford, Tony Rougier scoring a winning brace in the pissing rain, and from that day to this, as a result of that performance, I remain convinced Rougier is a footballing god.

Totally discounting his 'performance' away at Cambridge where he was substituted after being a second half sub himself! But granted, that one performance was pretty damn legendary.

[Royal With Cheese]

Doncaster 0 -1 Reading 1 Sept 85

That was a class game - they peppered our goal for 90 minutes - god knows how many times they hit post/crossbar.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

In more recent times.

Our 2 FA Cup Quarter-Finals.

Great atmosphere in both despite losing. Made you feel proud to be a Royal.

[79Royal]

Reading 5-0 Derby the season we won the Championship. Nervous and pretty average first half, totally unplayable second half. So good the Derby fans couldn't help singing 'that's why your champions!' at us after Long scored the fifth. Confirmed at the final whistle that we'd won the league, inevitable pitch invasion and Murty leading the chants from the west stand.

After party in town. Truly brilliant day.

[Ark Royal]

Yes, 2-0 win at home to Pompey, 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and 4-0 win against the Shite.

And no goals conceded

Yes, the clean sheets were part of the record-breaking 11-game run without conceding a goal.

[dean horrix legend]

Reading 1 - 0 Wolves in the League cup 2nd round, Pat Earles with the winner and the fourth round 0 - 0 against Southampton, I was 14 and the atmosphere at the Saints game was amazing, we would have won at a canter but for their keeper ( Terry Gennoe IIRC)

[URZZZZZZZZ]

Forest 3-4 Reading last season. Absolutely incredible game and a glorious day to boot!

[Jackson Corner]

Simod cup semi great night remember it like yesterday.

[TBM]

Portsmouth 7-4 Reading

[redscot]

Reading Wolverhampton 4-0. (It might have ended 4-1, it was a long time ago.) First Reading game I saw.
