Adz1871 Manager Brendan Rodgers told our official online TV station Reading FC Player, "Marek will certainly be involved.
"It's been a wee bit frustrating for him, but there is absolutely no doubt he has qualities."
SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN PLAYING HIM?! He's clueless. Only word for him.

I am also boycotting the OS because it is just like on an online version of Pravda.

Personally I feel sorry for the communications team. They are at every game and must feel the same as the fans. But how long do you think they would be in a job if they really told it as it is?

Darren O'Dea ...with Ivar getting sent off it stopped the momentum.

facaldaqui Surprising what you can glean between the lines from the Official Site, though. Take this from O'Dea:
"We were solid, then they got the sending off and scored - from then it was the same old story. We came out in the second half, set up in a different shape and then with Ivar getting sent off it stopped the momentum. But that's only a hundreth of the problem, we maybe needed something like that to kick us out of this little slump."
What does he mean by "But that's only a hundredth of the problem"? Has O'Dea sussed how wrong everything is at the moment?

working class hero No - the last home win was against Wolves about 2 weeks later [although we relied on an o.g. to scrape a 1-0 win]

Royal Lady Haven't heard the latest interview by BR, but BBCRB said he was saying how difficult it is for him and his family when the team aren't doing well. Oooh diddums. If you don't like it Mr R, you do have options. I'm beginning to think he wants us to feel sorry for him, what with him "close to tears" or whatever was reported after the QPR game, and now this - you've created this BR, now you have to deal with it. Do you think the fans are ecstatic at the moment or something? Don't you think I feel just a "wee" bit guilty, you know, when, you know, we've spent, you know, over a thousand pounds on Season Tickets this season, you know, and we could have used that money for something else, you know?

Royal Lady I didn't say I wanted him to feel sorry for the fans - I was making a point, that's it not only him that's hurting - the only difference is, he can do something about it to turn it around, we can't.
It's his JOB. He has caused most of the problems, as I see it - would he be moaning how it affects his family if we were winning games and playing well? No!
Sure, you get highs and lows in football, but we're on a downward spiral and trying to gain the sympathy vote from us fans isn't going to wash with me I'm afraid.
And when the chairman/manager/tea lady stop spouting bollox about "showing our ambition to get back into the premiership", "we can be in top 2" blah blah blah, I won't be expecting anything of the sort when I purchase my Season Ticket.

LoyalRoyalFan Just watched Rodgers reaction when he was the Watford manager, when we beat them 4-0.
' Reading, for sure will go up. '

Explain to me, what is the point of saying that his family are affected if not to garner some sort of sympathy. What was the point about appearing tearful (if reports on here are to be believed) after the QPR game, if not to try and garner some sort of sympathy? I hope he is hurting - it would show that he does care - but like I said, trying to get sympathy from us, the fans, who pay out a heck of a lot of money to watch these awful games, is going a bit far IMO. If everyone else wants to feel sorry for him fine, I was just saying that it wouldn't wash WITH ME.Ian RoyalRoyal Lady I didn't say I wanted him to feel sorry for the fans - I was making a point, that's it not only him that's hurting - the only difference is, he can do something about it to turn it around, we can't.

He knows it isn't only him. He's acknowlegded that plenty of times. This is the positive side of Rodgers, he's honest, open and obviously passionate and committed about us.
Don't put the boot in for that. Put it in (rightly) for talk of enjoyment, world class models and top of the table.
It just looks like you've taken a dislike to the guy (fairly IMO) but are now just irrationally using anything he says, no matter how reasonable, as a stick to beat him with. Which, again IMO, says more about you than it does about Rodgers.
