About time. He's far better than the majority of their previous defenders, St Ledger, O'dea et al.

I don't think it means anything useful really. A stat over the whole season would be much more interesting.

People seem to be misunderstanding the discontent of others on this topic. I don't think anyone is annoyed that he's had a wee in public. I've done it numerous times but only somewhere very quiet away from anyone else. If you take the story at face value , he's done a lot more than just have a wee ...

What an idiot. Sure all of us have been drunk in our time but we don't do this. I know he's young but I'm only 24 myself. Brian talks about bringing the right characters into the club. Assuming this and the comment about him getting Varsity closed is true, is this really the sort of influence we wan...

We should have signed Jake Forster-Caskey.

Keep an eye out for any Butler-Cureton hybrids as well. Sure they'd both be cheap.

Bowman's Quiver To put this all in perspective try coming up with Classic RFC moments pre-1985 and see how many you can come up with.

You suddenly realise how bloody lucky we all are!

Couldn't find any pics of our FA Cup semi final... bit too long ago (1926-27 but you all knew that )

Just maybe if a few that are not members had mates that were then they would soon find out the bits of interest from the Forums, just saying like. You assume everyone lives near Reading. I don't even know another Reading fan let alone one who lives locally enough to attend. That's what happens when...

Turf Moor has pretty **** away stand, but obviously there are far worse stadia in the lower leagues.

Darren Caskey's pie fund.

Well, he has invested a lot of money in various projects, so I don't see the problem. BTW, it's not a unique case here. Other stadiums have been named after chairmans too, Kassam Stadium in Oxford being an example. Rather it being called the Madejski Stadium than the Emirates (or some other sponsor...

I don't understand the hype behind McCarthy. He is a far, far better keeper so young than Feds was at the same age. he's as good a shot-stopper but his judgement and command of his box is, to me, far better. (Lest we forget, 4-5 years ago, when Federici was about the same age as McC is now, he had ...

maffff Aside from coaches, that I never use, a fans forums, I can never attend, and a membership card, and I've not collected, what have I actually paid for?

Danny Guthrie's transfer fee.

Well, it would be easy for them to ask those who want the matter taken up to PM them with their real names, so that STAR can give credence to any argument or whatever they put forward to the club. But they haven't done that, and it looks like they won't be doing that in future. I'm not talking spec...

AthleticoSpizz Sat in the table adjacent to Nicky Shorey, (who was, chewing on chicken bones) with some blond fellah in Nandos tonight

Probably talking about bonuses whilst 'chewing the fat'.

But who would we have signed anyway? When Rhodes is worth £8 mil, that just shows how inflated the market is. A foreign player is more often than not a blind pcunt . Let's hope West Ham striker Maiga proves me right. bit racist Haha typical that the rare use of the word 'punt' is seen as the delibe...

Pissed on at Wolverhampton Yes, that was part of the experience I was referring to above. When we pointed it out to the stewards, they were selectively ignorant. They say smell is the most evocative sense for memories - piss was part of the atmosphere I recall now - running the gauntlet back to the...

Madejski only named it after himself to feed his massive ego. Most normal (modest) people wouldn't name it after themselves. This stupid myth keeps coming up. In actual fact, somebody else (I think it was Nigel Howe?) suggested that it be named after the chairman and he wasn't keen on the idea at f...

Losing 3-0 away at Portsmouth in the FA cup was a pretty rubbish match day. Far too young to drink and some of the fans nearby were starting on other Reading fans.

Madejski only named it after himself to feed his massive ego. Most normal (modest) people wouldn't name it after themselves. It's not even like we can call the stadium something else since this was it's original name. New Elm Park sounds good but you say that and nobody knows what you are on about :...
