Underrated definitely Jobi in some quarters. Lots of fans around me thought he was a terrible captain but no-one could explain why. He had led the team to promotion and I guess Reading fans have to moan about something. You could question his place in the team ahead of HRK but not his ability to cap...

AthleticoSpizz Underrated? Jimmy Quinn

Took some dogs abuse in his latter years at the club….christ how I wish we had somebody like him to ‘overrate’ these days.

To think he scored 40 goals in a season and the fans gave POTS to the ruddy left back

Paul Ince post match was obviously not happy with Meite`s penalty miss- he said something like - he has to hit the target. We have proven penalty takers in the team and he won`t take another !! Admittedly a fairly low sample but don't think Yaks has missed one before for us. He has definitely score...

OUT.

Once to Luton is enough for any man. Saw us at 3 away games during 2005/6 season including here, our only away defeat .

Not the worst walk in the world to get to Mad Stad after grabbing grub at Blue Collar. Pick up the canal side footpath. The 2nd mile is alongside A33 but saves hassle with buses. Repeat journey on way back, although will be more fun in the dark now:) To get to game if you left Blue Collar by 2pm you...

Just caught up with the Murts and Jobi chat earlier in the week that they did for the 150 game. Interesting to hear the relationship Jobi had with the Brian . Brian would sometimes ask Jobi for advice on a players character before he signed them. In the chat Jobi admitted it was a quite an unusual r...

Truly abysmal. As bad a goal as I’ve ever seen That clown defender who dives after his keeper brushes him….absolutely pathetic Makes me wonder what are the ten worst Reading concessions? Worthy of a thread? Whitbread at home to Oxford on a very wet (?New Year's) day when he thought the ball had gon...

Makes me wonder what are the ten worst Reading concessions? Worthy of a thread? #1 is that goal v Burton. Can't think of one worse than that. I have a feint memory of Federici kicking the ball into Dexter Blackstock against Forest on the opening day costing us a win. If I am thinking the same incid...

When I was a kid I did some creative writing in my spare time about being a professional footballer. Naturally I was playing for the mighty Royals winning everything in sight. As the years went on I had to start making footballers up and reading an article in Shoot Magazine I knew Paul Ince had a yo...

João and Swift are quality players but we achieved oxf*rd all when both played for us I agree about but will always be grateful for their goals last season. Tbh I can’t recall us ever gaining promotion etc. with a creative midfielder like Swift. Osborn will always be my favourite but Caskey and Nor...

Great game. However unconvinced with Shane as penalty taker. He always seems to go goalie's right when he was first here and never mixed it up. Don't think his record was that brilliant previously although no one in our team was that great then. Not sure the last time he took one as I imagine he was...

This would be a great signing for us tbh. Hopefully, we can keep it quiet from Cardiff and Stoke. Other than Ian Harte have we ever signed any other players who have played for Leeds? Not usually a side we do business with. Think the following have turned out for both Reading and Leeds and various ...

Already looking forward to a night under the lights at the Mad Stad for the mighty Millers of Rotherham on Feb 14th . Cold, wet and we know it will be an awful game, drawing 1-1.

Look at Laurent's career stats he never stays at a club very long. Infact at 2 years his stay with us is his equal longest

2001/02 vibes.

It rained so much we were wondering if the game would go ahead or not. It did and saw Parky's last goal for the club.

Tannoy announcer couldn't fathom how to correctly pronounce Sammy Igoes' name

Both Hunty and Sids released videos explaining their absences and some very nice words and best wishes were said by both. Harps is abroad on holiday (I believe) Kits?? was (allegedly) spotted on the golf course last week with some of the other playing attendees. Alfie and Longy also sent in video c...

Manset retired in 2019 at 30. He played for just the 18 clubs in his career

Another highlight were the two ladies downing their pints at the back and the steward allowing them to do it . The Head Steward wondered over, not sure he was as quite as impressed

Cracking match. Very nostalgic and felt bit emotional when players first came out. Sonko smashing ball into crowd great but loved the "Sockgate" moment best of all with Jimmy responding to crowd in pulling up his socks :D . A few players still have it. Leroy, Doyler, Hunt. Looks like Jobi ...
