Poll I thought had a distinctly average at best game today, but that is not the reason we lost. Yes, he gave us a lot in the first half (although quite how he failed to give a free kick on the left edge of the area after Doyle had been brought down by Ooijer I don't know. Sonko had a penalty given ...

When asked what he thought about Reading, the town, Bobby said, "it's alright"

Re: Forty points doesn’t guarantee anything.

Forty points, not far to go now, but remember, forty points represents statistical safety NOT absolute safety. Surely if we are statistically safe, we're safe Although that might require more than 40 points I think what the original poster is probably saying is that statistics to date show that mor...

I'm beginning to wonder if there are any "good" refs these days. Wonder no more - there aren't any But don't think the old ones were any better - that's nostalgia getting to you The standard of football referees is abysmal. Compare with Rugby League, for example, where they are respected ...

Thank you. So you believe that a penalty is not almost certain to be scored. But, you interpret a "clear goal scoring opportunity" as being when a goal is almost certain to be scored. Therefore in your opinion a penalty is not a clear goal scoring opportunity. :shock: And you can't see th...

Most intelligent referees would not send off a keeper who has commited a foul in the same situation... A penalty was punishment enough... There was no way that Marcus intended the foul.. Kinda missing the point If the rules were clearer you wouldn't need to argue that a penalty was enough - you wou...

I think the best thing we can do is forget about the whole sorry episode. Big clubs like Chelsea will sadly always get away with this sort of nonsense. Reading is a dignified club. Time to move on.

I don't see any reason to drop Seol as he has been one of our best players so far this season. He just had a bad game today, most probably due to tiredness. But replacing Harper with Gunnarson could work IMO. Fcuk me! What is it about Harper that some people don't like? On yesterday's performance I...

His overall contribution edged out Sonko - more tackles, more headed clearances, non stop closing down. His passing wasn't great and hasn't been all season, but in another backs to the wall game, he was superb

I can't be bothered to read all 4 pages I'm afraid so I apologise if I repeat anyone. Kitson will do fine in the premiership, or as fine as any of our strikers will. He has the skill, the positioning, the awareness and the intelligence to make it in the premiership. As many have said his main probl...
