Fyi I vote for Brogue as he will rule with an iron fist and also isn't anti semitic (afaik)

Can I just point out that Brogue is the continuity candidate- vote leon for strong leadership.


Tbf Leon would also make a good mod guys, we just need someone to sort the select few out. You also need to vote for someone who is on all the time. A lot of the poll options are for people who only log in every few day's. But as I say Leon is strong enough to sort this lot out, and is online a lot. I just want the best for the board, as I’m sure we all do. so If you choose leon it won’t be a wasted vote, he was my vote... I’m not going to go down the smear campaign route though, as that’s not what this is about. Continuity is doing literally nothing like the last 10 years. I’ve already said what I would do. And it will be from day one. We know this format of social media (forums) is dying. But we can at least try and preserve it for as long as possible. And the managing of the likes of karbota nath and dd is going to make this place better for all.

Why do I need managing? I'm good now


You are!

Brogue Just an fyi. This karbota chap the resident racist. Who hasn’t been managed by the moderation team. Pretty much the only mod we have is now actively engaging with him ^ forbury lion in case you didn’t know is a mod.

Well Graham the site founder and owner is now running a poll for a new mod.

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=191590

Part of my manifesto is to sort this karbota out, once and for all. And I’m the only person who is saying they will. So vote for me on the above link and let’s get this racist off our board once and for all.

Seriously I’m not joking, I’ll sort this out sharpish. Make sure dd is kept in check and sort Nath St Paul’s aggressive posting out.

We haven’t had a new mod in probably 10 years now it’s your only chance to get the right person in who will actually do something. Or you can have another 10 years of the team board being ruined by a select few.

A vote for brogue is a vote for change.


I would also like to say vote Brogue for mod.

He is the only man who can beat John Madejski’s Wallet. JMW needs to be stopped because he is virulently anti rotary washing line. I repeat he hates rotary washing lines and the people who own and use them.

I don’t know how to break this to people, but Dai doesn’t give a shit. This is just another irritant to him, not a priority, and he really doesn’t care what you call him in the local paper. Nor is the Chinese Communist Party particularly vexed about Reading either, before anyone suggests going down that route again.

Yeah agree but vote leon for Mod.

I’ll clean this place up of undesirables, degenerates and political recalcitrants.

Then the stupid CCP don't know what they're up against. We have fans as far afield as North Wales, Yorkshire, and Gosport, where I am.
You don't just flush away a footballing superpower like our Royals.

This is all taking the oxf*rd piss now, need to get a protest arranged for the Leyton Orient game we've waited long enough. It's clear Dai is being a prick and holding the sake up.

Just oxf*rd get on with it you fat shit!

https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2024/a ... statement/

Reading Football Club would like to provide an update on the proposed takeover of the club.

Over several months the owner and potential purchaser, alongside the EFL, have been working extensively on ensuring the completion of the deal – with the prospective owner cleared by the governing body to take over the club.

All parties had hoped to have the takeover completed ahead of the transfer window deadline this evening, however the complexities of the deal have prevented this from happening.

The takeover has involved the transfer of multiple properties, both physical and intellectual. In addition to these assets in question, the stakeholders involved are located across 14 time zones worldwide, with multiple local laws and legislation needing to be abided by.

In regards to potential signings this window, discussions remain ongoing, with staff members at the club working tirelessly to strengthen the playing squad before this evening’s 11pm deadline.

Not the statement we all wanted, but still a good one. Sounds like Couhig remains committed, EFL approval is a big deal, and main hold up seems to be admin and process.

Let's face it, we all know the problem is Dai's down the casino and not answering his phone to requests to sign on the dotted line.

Because you want a firm hand on the tiller of Hob Nob. Someone who’ll make it all better.

Like Mum would- except I’m not going to ask about your constant wnaking.

Damn right!!!

Vote leon.

Normal response from the X twats.
We want the club to tell us something, *club release statement* that hasn`t told us anything.

I don’t go along with the people saying the new club statement is worthless. It was very interesting in my view.

I had no idea there were 14 time zones in the world so definitely one to remember for the next pub quiz.

I casually thought that there were 24, but all of the places offset by fractions of an hour (Iran +3:30, Nepal +5:45) means there are shitloads. Here’s a real pub quiz answer for you. Kiribati lies in all four hemispheres, and at +14 hours, parts of it are a full 26 hours ahead of other places on the same longitude.

No idea if Dai has been holed up there, though.
