Ian Bran foot's last game in charge - a shocking 4-1 defeat to Leyton Orient. Steve Francis was inspired, the rest were dire. Was still amazed when Branfoot went, thought he was going to keep the job forever...

46 and still into 'top boy' antics, sad can't.

Isn't there a tw@t who's an internationally renowned hooligan with R F C tendencies

Interesting question. If I think back over the record signings during my time supporting RFC it is hardly impressive:- Terry Hurlock - spent probably as much time banned as he did playing in his year here Keith Curle - the stand-out here in my opinion. Replacement for Steve Wood, oozed class. Steve ...

Still get stick for saying "we should have kept Dillon" after a couple of early games back in 94/95. Totally endorse the earlier comments, can only add that Osborn carried others / made them look better than they were (Holsgrove, Tom Jones, etc.)

Saturday's game against Sheffield Wednesday is live here in Oz so would guess feeds will be available...

Although I went to my first game in 1983, this was the season which made me a Royal. Although the article alludes to the season being unexpected, should be remembered that RFC were unbeaten at home in the league in 1983/84 and then won a records number of away games in 1985/86. The framework was alr...

Apologies. late into this - will probably be discounted anyway as I haven't got 500+ posts where I either revel in my own self importance or simply bicker against the last reply. However, returning to topic. Two stand-outs for me are: Chris Makin: consistent performer whenever called upon during the...

A 4-1 defeat away to Leyton Orient in late 1989. A truly miserable performance with only Steve Francis having anything which resembled a decent game. I think most RFC fans were just resigned to defeat. Ian Branfoot's last game in charge.

I know there has been a lot of talk about the 13/14 kits. However, everyone knows that they will be $hite. Most other clubs seems to recognise that there is an appeal for past strips yet RFC only offer the Robin Friday version and the 'Courage' kits from the mid 80's. I know it has been mentioned he...

I was there too.Always remember that the 'lads' who stood in the corner of the South Bank by the away end were notably absent when it all kicked off. Swansea - were - by their then standards - having a decent season and I think just made the play-offs that year. As mentioned above, brought bugger al...

Mark McKeever?

One for the old school - Dave Madden. Played a handful of games in 87/88 season and scored a couple of two. Came, played then fooked off.

What about Stuart Beavon? 10 years at RFC and consistently played 30+ games a season.

Not necessarily unsung, but a shout out for Paul Canoville? Albeit brief, and maybe in RTG to a then 13 year old, looked fantastic during the early months of the 86/87 season.

Chelsea - nothing to admire, everything to hate.

Pep, if Roman comes a knocking just remember...

To stay up, you have to average five points a month. I think that's possible. I do expect a few more pastings than happened last time we were in the prem.

Given that the premier league is so popular worldwide, it is a sad reflection that the pundits elsewhere are so much better. I know it has been mentioned before, but Giles and Dunphy in Ireland are superb - no 'old boys' network and largely say what they see. The main problem with BBC & ITV is t...

Well, the 2012-2013 home kit is going to be ruddy awful then. I noticed that Toffs (http://www.toffs.com) has introduced a Bukta range, these being exact replicas for the late 70's shirts for Newcastle, Hibs, Plymouth, etc. I have asked about RFC and got the following response:- "Thanks for you...

Doe this mean that Nino's is going to get smashed up by midnight?

Cracking pen by Pirlo

Young...oh dear

England outplayed for large chunks of the game, but playing a team (offside goal notwithstanding) who with no cutting edge. Anyhoo, penalties...

One of the worst games in a summer tournament ever...
