Personally I think that's crazy talk. No manager would have lasted this long in football management if he was really prone to that sort of violence. Have you not heard the references on here? Warnock DOES have a track record for this. 1) Battle of Bramall Lane: He sent on George Santos knowing that...

Santos shouldn't have been put on, most of the fans knew that there was history between then after santos had to have his face reconstructed after and elbow from the wba player the year before. shouldn't have put him on but he didn't tell him to break him. It was warnpck saying that gary kelly coul...

Firstly we were loosing the game and not playing well keef was sent on to try and change things not to injure hunt. History my arse, he doesn't send players on to "do" other people and i think the fact that we were 5/6 in the disiplinacy league shows that alot of the stuff about us being ...

Re: The Warnock post match moan thread

"Wally made a comment about me telling my players to break legs. How stupid" That was EXACTLY what he was doing!!!! Looked that way to me and my mate at the time. //and Warnock has form. Last season he got in trouble for shouting at his players to break Gary Kelly's leg in the Sheff Utd-L...

A couple of kids behind me were trying to give the Do Do Do - Adam Federici (to the tune of the Black Lace "Conga" abomination) a good go. No one else was joining in though. I HATE those b*stard kids. Especially the ugly blonde one who takes his top off after we score so we can all see wh...

SpaceCruiser Oh Lord save me, they actually think we don't own the stadium. :roll:

What is company A? I think they made that one up, they seem desperate to think that we are also tenants. :roll:


I always actually thought Mr Mad owned the stadium and we were just tenants!! :oops: :oops:

I really think we must be the only prem team who ISN'T a threat from corners and set pieces. You can tell how much work teams like Chelsea, Bolton etc.. put into their corners. But obviously not us. I sh*t myself when our opposition get corners and get no high at all when we get one. Says loads really

Bloody Corners!!

What the f*ck is wrong with our corner taking?? Do we not bother with them in training or something?? Blakey had loads today, and if (on the rare occasions) they beat the first man, they were weakly chipped-in with no bend. Exactly how are we supposed to score from them?? It's lazy, weak, and will c...

Re: Robin Friday

You write as though you knew him very well! If that is the case, you've missed out the bits of how he would stand around for hours talking to the fans, signing autographs and generally being an all round top bloke supporters could very easily relate to. I believe Liverpulians would have called him ...

Re: Robin Friday

Mentioned often around these boards, and by the looks rightly so. A legend at Reading. Being one who is more young than old, I wasn't lucky enough to see him in action or know how he played. Just wondering, what did actually make THE Robin Friday so special? Is he comparable to the current Reading ...

AP, H&P & Muskrat:

Am I missing something when you talk about Sonko blatantly giving away a penalty??

It was a disgraceful dive by Macarthy

(although admittedly at the time I thought it looked a blatant pen.....but then that's why i'm a fan and not a ref. Good decision by Poll)

Slow pace? I certainly don't want it to get any quicker! Having watched Coventry v Colchester last night, it looked like they were walking round the pitch Ok, slow-paced may have been the wrong word. But you have to admit it has been really frustrating this season when the other team has been timew...

In which case the answer is to not stop play when two balls appear and let the ball-boys/girls onto the pitch to retrieve them. At times it was frustrating last season as play was stopped because a ball had drifted 1yd onto the pitch about 40yd from any play. Pathetic That would also negate fans th...

BG has more tackling ability, airial ability, defensive nouse and shooting ability than Harps and Sidders put together. Criminally underused in midfield. We look so much more assured and solid when he comes into the middle I also don't think he's as slow as he seems. He makes everything look slow, b...

I believe that when it was last allowed clubs took advantage of it too much, the opposition complained about the ditribution of balls to them. I certainly remember a good few instances of the referee asking the club officials to remove the balls due to multiple ones being on the pitch at throw-in a...
