'Booing doesn't help the team'. If it hastens Stam's departure, then that will help the club imo. As for for being fickle, I didn't like Stam's style of play when we were 3rd and I still don't like it now we're 18th. If it's not effective then there is absolutely no reason to put up with it. The guy...

He`s saying what the vast majority of fans are thinking. just because maybe 500 out of 12,000 home fans are booing we shouldn't be all painted with the same brush. Football just like every thing is all about opinions, if he turns it around the 500 will go quiet never to be seen again, and social me...

What's idiotic in that statement? Many other manager's say the same. If he came out and said the boo-ing and negativity was really affecting him, what would you say? "I don't pay any notice to the fans". I'd rather he ignored the quivering mass of short sighted, innumerate reactionary imb...

I recall Gunter hugging Stam after his goal on Tuesday. Certainly you couldn't claim Gunter has downed tools. However, I wouldn't be surprised if others are not particularly fond of Stam. He's not shy of criticising individual players/the team in interviews and has chopped and changed the team so of...

Clear difference, jeering/cheering Leigertwood's substitution off was a reaction aimed at McDermott for playing him every game when he was so clearly out of his depth. Nothing personal, manager's fault for not recognising his limitations. Blackett was booed in possession of the ball, a reaction aim...

Leigertwood against Villa(?) Disgraceful then and not a lot better now Leigertwood's substitution off was cheered. He wasn't booed. Cheered or jeered? Maybe my memory was playing tricks on me, but I remember it being an uncomfortably hostile reaction to someone who had been a great player for us ED...

Winston Biscuit I think that is the first time I have ever heard our fans boo one of our own players.

Disgraceful and embarrassing.

Leigertwood against Villa(?)

Disgraceful then and not a lot better now

Leigertwood's substitution off was cheered. He wasn't booed.

Blackett should be grateful he wasn't booed during his first 52 league appearances for Reading, 95% of his performances have been utter shit.

As for Stam not showing faith in him: imagine how Jake Cooper, Rob Dickie, Dom Hyam, Niall Keown etc feel.

As I told Ady on BBC Berkshire during the post match reaction, we need to have a little patience as Rome really wasn’t built in a day. We’ve had 7/8 manager stints in the past 7 years and it’s got us absolutely bloody nowhere. Stam is playing a style of football that is closest to emulating that of...

A right back on the left wing. A player that wants to play CM on the right wing. Two wingers in the middle, supporting a striker who's only in the team due to his ability to defend corners. A 5ft technical CM stood in his own half filling in for the marauding CB who's charging forward attempting to ...

What a fitting goal to see Stam off.

I do wonder if there is certain age group of young supporters around 16-18 (i.e. the seat bangers) who feel more entitled to success than older Reading fans. They would have been children around the 05/06-06/07 era and grew up watching the best Reading team of all time - and haven't really seen us ...

Just think how many more youth players would have realised their potential if they'd been given the same number of opportunities as Pelle fucking Clement

Not tuning in for a 2nd half of that rubbish.
Dear, oh dear...

I lived in Leeds and it's one of the best cities in the UK. York is a great city, Harrogate is a great city. Yorkshire is probably the best county in the UK and I would much prefer to live there than overpriced, overpopulated and overrated London. Good post, one thing you will find, people from Lee...

I booed the sub because it was one of the worst substitutions I've ever seen and I wanted Stam to know it. Kelly was the player most likely to score and most likely to create a scoring chance. Free-kick specialist. Penalty taker. Good long range shot. Utter madness to replace him with a oxf*rd centr...

So this is the moment, in my view there has been a group of Reading fans who have never taken to Stan, poss. because McD lost his job for him. There has often felt like an undercurrent where these fans have only stayed relatively quiet because results were good. Now, the first bad spell under Stan ...

He can't even take criticism from rival fans let alone Reading fans.
His feud with Leeds last season, for instance, was utterly cringeworthy.

Up his own arse and if he thinks a big club will come calling he's in for disappointment.
