Re: Squad Watch 2024/25

Snowflake Royal Yeah, he seems to be progressing well actually.

Particularly after his injury, which I think took around a year out of his development.

Players on international duty

Couldn't seem to find a general thread for our players on international duty, so I though I'd create one. Looking over the summer, it's possible a number of our players will be away. New Zealand play in the Oceania Nations Cup, so Bindon will probably be involved in that. New Zealand also feature in...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Five over-age players and one over-age keeper: https://www.premierleague.com/news/2677866 However that was for the season 2022/23 when the format was changed from under 23 to under 21 and might have been a transitional phase. Confusing now because the Premier League are also saying for 2023/2024 th...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

It's here under definitions: So, unless I'm mistaken, anyone 20 or under on 1 Jan. 2024 will qualify as U21 for the forthcoming season. Thank you - didn't think it would be as early as January. So that gives another season of U21 football for CBC, Borgnis and Wareham and only three starters from ye...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

assuming the cut of date for playing U21 football is at the start of the season... It's here under definitions: ‘Under 21 Player’ means a Player under the age of 21 as at the 1 January in the year in which the Season concerned commences. So, unless I'm mistaken, anyone 20 or under on 1 Jan. 2024 wi...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Yep. Noel Hunt was going nuts when we did not take the quick throw in. And when we took the throw, we immediately surged up the pitch. Had we done that with a quick throw, we could've easily scored from it. He similarly went nuts when we took a quick inaccurate freekick punt upfield to one player w...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Cannot say CBC kicking straight into touch was a tactic - the Reading coaching staff were losing their shit when he did it the second time. As said, just poor game management from the team on two occasions that led to goals. Were they also losing their shit when one of our players decided to waste ...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Gutted for the lads. A very exciting game of end to end but not helped by some very dodgy refereeing. Did not think it was a foul at the end that led to the goal. No idea what Borgnis’s first yellow was for although second was justified. But the boys did us proud. Typical Reading - glorious in defe...

Re: Rival Watch

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Manchester City get relegated down to L1 or even L2, and have all of their trophies stripped of them as part of the punishment when the Premier League FINALLY get around to having a look at those 115 charges........... I think the Premier League are looking a...

Re: Ex Players

Very pleased for Liam Kelly Talent wise he was good enough for the Championship. There was obviously some sort of attitude or mental health issues earlier in his career. Fair play, he looks to be moving beyond them and he has absolutely dominated the play offs. Difference maker in semi final and fi...

Re: The Non - League thread

Cirencester Town have asked for and received voluntary demotion from the Southern league. Looks like it’s the Hellenic league for them. ...seemed fairly obvious that they were in the cross-hairs for an enforced transfer back west : SL1S. Expect they anticipated and baulked at the eye-watering trave...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Howe originally said he hoped the deal would be completed by the end of May. There’s no doubt that things are progressing, but the football insider suggested that it would be another 2 months until the EFL approve the deal. If that’s the case we won’t be in a position to sign players etc. until the...

Re: Season Tickets 24/25

I know a couple of people that have renewed but myself and the majority of my friends will wait until the future of the club is secured. It`s doubtful you will get your money back if it goes tits up. This is my dilemma. Have been thinking about sticking it on a credit card to make it easier to clai...
