No mention for Shorey!

Biggest joke is Gary Speed over Cesc Fabregas - do me a favour!

seems like you are on your own here WS Man Apart from the others who agree with me, yes I am on my own! Interestingly the Sky team all agreed with me yesterday; or I suppose to be more accurate, I agreed with them. I'll stick to the facts for a moment (a rare commodity on here). There was clear con...

Muskrat, have you seen a replay of the Sonko incident with McCarthy. It was neither a dive nor was it a penalty. It was a good honest accident that involved one player falling forwards. As to the other 'incidents' that you refer to, Poll was well up with play and a hell of a lot closer to them that...

Yesterday was the first match this season where it was noticable that the rugger-buggers had had some effect - the ball bobbled about a fair amount and one or two passes were misplaced or not controlled properly because of that. Not an excuse for the second half perfromance by any means, but it can...

Poll I thought had a distinctly average at best game today, but that is not the reason we lost. Yes, he gave us a lot in the first half (although quite how he failed to give a free kick on the left edge of the area after Doyle had been brought down by Ooijer I don't know. Sonko had a penalty given ...

When asked what he thought about Reading, the town, Bobby said, "it's alright"

Not exactly an overwhelming endorsement!

Forty points, not far to go now, but remember, forty points represents statistical safety NOT absolute safety. Surely if we are statistically safe, we're safe Although that might require more than 40 points I think what the original poster is probably saying is that statistics to date show that mor...

got this too but picture quality not brilliant especially on full screen

If you compare a concession and a full season ticket, the difference in price per match is £8.40 The club charge £10 for an upgrade, so how is he pulling a fast one? and How is the club losing out, even if it is upgraded every game? Incidentally they charged me £12! Therein lies part of the issu...

I'm beginning to wonder if there are any "good" refs these days. Wonder no more - there aren't any But don't think the old ones were any better - that's nostalgia getting to you The standard of football referees is abysmal. Compare with Rugby League, for example, where they are respected ...

Under the rules, Hahnemann should have been sent off. Without argument. The fact that Wiley "applied common sense" makes us very lucky. To para phrase one very witty observer: "these things have a habit of evening themselves out over a season so let's hope that all our luck is not us...

Thank you. So you believe that a penalty is not almost certain to be scored. But, you interpret a "clear goal scoring opportunity" as being when a goal is almost certain to be scored. Therefore in your opinion a penalty is not a clear goal scoring opportunity. :shock: And you can't see th...

Most intelligent referees would not send off a keeper who has commited a foul in the same situation... A penalty was punishment enough... There was no way that Marcus intended the foul.. Kinda missing the point If the rules were clearer you wouldn't need to argue that a penalty was enough - you wou...

I think the best thing we can do is forget about the whole sorry episode. Big clubs like Chelsea will sadly always get away with this sort of nonsense. Reading is a dignified club. Time to move on. Agreed. or perhaps the club could produce some Bring it On type placards that we could all hold up be...

I wonder what would happen on boxing day if we where to get a result against chelski and some of our fans manage to get on to the pitch to celebrate with our players???? At westham when marcus came over after the game to hand his shirt over some steward tried stopping him. The stewarding yesturday ...

One thing is for sure The only thing that Chelsea fans heard was Divers, Divers and that is what shut them up They were making a really sustained noise that we couldn't match until Divers started up I really hope all Premier League fans took note and use it every game agianst Chelsea. They don't lik...
