For those of you that missed the game (what do you mean you weren't watching an England match featuring a player-of-the-match performance on full World Cup debut by a Reading player?!) here is Fran's superb goal.

Well at least that guarantees us at least 1 more season of Fran Kirby at Reading: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/kirby-turns-professional-131114-2082614.aspx

They do seem to be slow with the decision, the inspection was a couple of months ago now, so perhaps there was some truth in them. With regards to a new training ground, pretty sure Anton has spoken publically about his intention there.. From what I've heard from the odd coach I've spoken to, they ...

Also there is mention again about money being spent on infrastructure-does the hotel need yet another extension? Apparently the Academy failed to get it's class 1 license from the Premier League this time round due to the inadequacies of Hogwood (whatever they might be). Infrastructure means a comp...

pea Good effort, when was the last time we sold out before general sale?

West Ham

For the amount it costs me to see 10 games a season (~£700), I could get a Cambridge Utd season ticket, get better beer and still have a good £250 quid left. But then I support Reading because they're my team. Not because of how they do, or how much money they spend. Or is it just because Cambridge...

Not totally unexpected result? Most people (RTGs?) do something in the hope (but not always expectation) that it will give them pleasure. Of course there are a few masochists (STGs) in the world who prefer pain but personally I prefer to only inflict that on myself once a year (usually last game of ...

Random thoughts: - Don't mind starting the season home or away, but would prefer to finish at home + Boxing Day and NYE at home - get in! Nice welcome back for Ivar... + Posh away midweek, nice easy reach from where I stay in Cambridge. Might even have to offer IR a lift... + Family awayday to Brigh...

@ReadingFC on Twitter Khizanishvili's loan has concluded and he's likely to move on, perhaps overseas

Hammond said, "We've had discussions with Zurab, and he did very well for us. He has good opportunities available to him overseas."

Ingimarsson is departing after eight years of service Hammond said, "Ivar Ingimarsson has been an outstanding servant for Reading Football Club and it is very important to recognise that. Ivar was player of the season for us in the Premier League, best league in the world, and an integral part...

Furthest within Berkshire - Fox Talbot (presumably somewhere like Hungerford but unsubstantiated) Actually there's actually quite a few of us from the Hungerford contingent coming, so (s)he'd have to be in Upper Lambourn to claim that prize for himself. Mind you, he might be able to claim the longe...

I suppose I should be happy that the website only crashes after I've selected my seat rather than during the credit card process! Officially pants!!!!

Going to stick to the human approach if I can ever get through (40 mins contant redial so far)

bigmike I did read the word Swindon today and it made me laugh... link below

Surely a little bit of sympathy is called for? No...? OK then - enjoy losing to Oxf*rd next season, you cnuts!!!

Bit of a flattering result that one but I'll take it! I was worried when I saw the line-up with Kanu and Hunt as wingers and only Shane up top. However, we were comfortably on top until we scored (another perfect header from Long) - then we seemed to back off and let them back in (bit like the Millw...

Thanks guys, see you there - probably in the Station Hotel!
Leaving from Cambridge about 17:30 if anyone wants to share petrol - Ian you going tonight?

Was thinking of going if I can bring myself to stomach the cost.
However, anyone know a decent place to park? Seems like most of the usual town centre suggestions for a Saturday are closed on a Tuesday evening (http://www.footballgroundguide.com/ipswich_town/)...

Almost everything worth saying about that very enjoyable game has been said, but I just felt like agreeing with 1 thing Ian/Snowball said: Watching Church at the moment reminds me a bit of Long when he used to be the "impact sub" rather than the consistent starter. Church is more and more ...

How the hell did we concede two goals against 10 men? That was begging for a 1-1 draw! We missed (the good version of) Kebe and too many of our players had a merely average day. Need more than that to beat the good teams in this division. Feders - 7 Couple of great saves and didn't do much wrong. La...

I thought the ref was fairly even handed in his uselessness but how the hell that bloke stayed on the pitch, and Noel got a yellow after converting the head-lock into a body-slam. Actually I think the Donny #4 calmed down a lot after scoring (unfortunately as I was sure he was going to be 1st in th...
