South Coast Royal The commentary is ok when I get it from the Barnsley people-much better and less biased than the normal Reading commentary.


Mine has settled now, agree about commentary - they even pronounce Danny K’s name correctly

But not WiFi’s :lol:

Oh dear. Pereira no chance, ugly deflection from Dorsett's attempted block.

All from a bit of chaos with Doyle going over softly and then not getting back in the game, Savage busy telling him to get up, neither him nor Kelvin E getting across to pick up Phillips as the ball goes to him.

Doyle seems to get in a good position and then pass straight to the defender instead of our player, when it's really not a hard pass.

Are you joking? Apparently the goal only took a small deflection and they've been acting like the ref has given us everything. Clueless

Yup - so frustrating. Hit and hope every time.

And Danny K is fukking wasted on the right. A fraction of the player he is in in the left

Sick of Reading players getting obviously fouled every week and jobsworth refs giving everything to the opposition.

I don't think it's even just that. At least once each half It's been a clear deliberate and easy pass that’s been yards wide of target and straight to a defender.

There's a lot of good in his game, but then so much in the eay of soft soft error.

Yep, was 100% a foul, then Marriott gets penalised up the other end for breathing on someone.

Lots of wingers who are all better on the left.

Kelvin, Kyerewaa, Lane, Williams, Garcia... no one who has really nailed down the right slot.

Doyle fouled in the centre circle, exact same foul as before, and a free kick to Reading.
