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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Didn’t think a refereeing performance at U21 level could piss me off as much as this…

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...

Sky Sports not even showing the Arsenal game? They seem to have the City game and Liverpool games on TNT have it (TNT Sports 1). Sky have Man City-West Ham (Main Event); Liverpool-Wolves (Premier League) and Chelsea-Bournemouth (Football & Arena). Sky in not believing there's anything to play f...

Tbf, it was a cracking strike from Foden. Just disappointing it's probably over already.

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...

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...

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...

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...

No shots on target in a playoff final is criminal Can't recall Reading having a shot on target in their last time in a PO final either. Or Huddersfield if truth be told, hence why it was unquestionably the worst game of association football I have ever witnessed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_...

Thought I would be bothered if they went up but I'm not. They will probably come back down. They probably will. I think their limit is very much that of a Rotherham or Peterborough - they'll not be able to progress much further than the bottom end of the Championship (unless they chuck a load of mo...

And stop Reading FC too. Really doesn't help us having Bolton in L1 next year. Don't think we are in serious contention anyway, unless we make some clever signings. Agree, can't really see us challenging until the embargo is lifted and that's assuming the ownership situation gets resolved before th...
