leon Sounds like it was a good match to miss.

In the cold light of day how bad was it actually?

Just a tiny bit more enjoyable than catching your foreskin in your zipper, but at least it wasn`t cold.

Thanks for providing a laugh amongst all the doom and gloom, windermere. Nice one mate.

If the lads can't beat this lot, they need to have a serious word with themselves.

Ritchie suspended for this one ? Ritchie was booked v Rotherham I think. If that’s correct he will be suspended for this game as it was his 5th booking of the season. Reading FC current player discipline table: Player - #of bookings Daniel Kyerewaa - 5 (suspension served) Matt Ritchie - 5 (1 game s...

No idea scorewise. Can see the Ding winning this one though.

A few years back a mate of mine got shown around a house by Mick Gooding. Apparently he was really good with my mate's young daughter, asking her if she liked the house and about school and stuff in a genuine and non-patronising way. Left a lasting impression on his wife and daughter, which is nice...

I would put Steve Evans, a man we've loved to hate, down as an opposition fan for last night's game. He was, however, very fair and balanced with his comments and assessment of the game, paying us quite a few compliments. Interestingly, both he and Jobi (perhaps less of a surprise) clearly stated t...

But it didn't break up momentum because a freekick had already been awarded and it didn't really delay the restart, other than the short time taken to give him the yellow. If it was about "game management" he would've been better off saving it for a more critical situation that might aris...

When he jumps he is somehow lower in the air than he was when he was standing. It’s like he jumps inside himself like a oxf*rd accordion. The technical term for this is an Asaba. Brill. The number of us that used to imitate the Asaba, where the shoulders went up and the neck/head sunk at the same t...

Why on earth did Ritchie decide to pick up his fourth yellow card of the season for what was, basically, pissing about with the ball? If I was Richardson, I'd have been fuming with that. It was fully deserved and I mean seriously Ritchie, wtf?

A whole lot of +1 to that.

Yep, good and sensible post. Agree with a lot of that

+1 nice to read a sensible measured post

Excellent post. Satan's spawn

Does anyone know anything about his footballing style? What are we looking at here, big strong lads, difficult to beat? Fast paced, short passing? Direct, attacking play? Many lower league managers fail because they attempt to introduce their own style of play / formation. Rather than look at the p...

Long read on/from Leam Richardson. https://learning.coachesvoice.com/cv/leam-richardson-wigan-athletic/ WIll give it a bit before I comment fully, but do think it deserves a proper read. Tbf it’s a decent read and can see why we might be interested in him Really good insight there papes. Nice work ...

Tony Mowbray. Sound as a pound, available and history of getting teams promoted out of this league.

:lol: Hunt is Mr Draws We drew too many at the end of last season which meant we didn't reach the Play-Offs We've drawn too many this season too. Sometimes going ahead then conceding, sometimes coming from behind to salvage a draw. The situation we're in we need to somehow be converting these draws ...

Hound 19th with the 3 teams below able to get above us with their game in hand.

As nan would say "What a load of shit".

Elm Park Kid Wednesday have gone into administration.

Apologies mate. You were clearly on the ball quicker than me.

Sheff Wed filed for administration then.

Given how thick, partisan and unaware of the rules many football fans are, this is a laughable statement. Exactly. On several occasions I have had to explain the laws of the game and the guidelines issued to the referees to people around me who are articulating bemusement/outrage at a decision made...

I know this may well be the wrong thread to be posting on, however just wanted to express sympathies to all Sheff Wed. supporters, given their current plight. After watching the highlights from last night, and seeing all the empty seats, it was a stark reminder of how close our club was to going dow...
