The Russian Reading FC

[Sutekh]

Seems there is a club in Russia somewhere called Reading Football Club who play in something called the Pari Amateur League.

Anyone speak Russian or know more about this league? Seems strange a club would call themselves Reading FC or is there a place in Russia called Reading (or whatever the equivalent is in Russian)?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Shouldn’t this thread be Putin General Football?

Presumably Anton Zingarevich and Pavel Pogrebnyak weren't content to just ruin Reading FC once, so they created a second version to destroy financially again. This time in Russia.

Wouldn't bank on the mods Russian to move the thread.

As a player the Pog was one of the outstanding, his goals almost got us an FA Cup Final.

[JedMaxwell]

Yeah bit of a drive-by on Pog there. He was limited but he always put in the work and was never a disruptive presence.

[Hendo]

Will always love Pog for his last minute winner v WBA in the 2-0 comeback game.

Putin Imperialist simps.

Someone should take some steppes to change the mods.

[Snowflake Royal]

To unravel the mystery the Pari Amateur League is an organization in Moscow where 1000s of young men form teams and enter into numerous competitions. The league has just ended with Bayern winning the league, Arsenal won the cup and Wolves became champions of Europe

Spain have just won the World Cup with Northern Ireland finishing a credible 4th

I believe the team names are randomly selected and Reading FC are making their debut when the league kicks off again in March. (Even the Russians aren’t stupid enough to play in -20 temperatures).

So very much an amateur organization where subs are required to pay for the pitches and I’d presume some poor oxf*rd is responsible for the admin
