Funny, I thought Royal Rother claimed that we played long ball?

Royal Rother · by **Royal Rother** » 22 Aug 2006 11:44

We largely did until last season, when, as you know, the entertainment value from watching Reading increased massively for the truly discerning and intelligent football supporter.

You are truly fickle.

Royal Rother · by **Royal Rother** » 22 Aug 2006 11:47

How do you make that out then Space Cruiser?

Having been a supporter of Reading since, quite possibly, before you were born, never having given my support to any other team, I find that one a little hard to understand.

I was the royals fan(talk sports official fans forum representative!!) chatting with marcotti last night, and he was very complimentary, thought he knew what he was on about. and i even let cundy off for being plastic, said he was more than welcome,

thats twice ive been on this week, first time i slagged off oxford, didnt manage to say anything else of note, and last night the only thing i remember saying was that i hope sheffield united go down-hopefully ill say something slightly relevant and interesting next time!

I'm on there a fair bit as well - though never as good as going onto a local radio phone-in after an away win and saying that I was surprised at how poor the team we had just beaten were and maybe their manager should consider his position as a result...........

The Daddy of those was after beating Port Vale (Brian Horton was the manager) and all these Vale fans came on after me agreeing that Horton should resign!

Hilarious!!!!

The yearbook have him down as Scottish.........

Ian Royal · by **Ian Royal** » 22 Aug 2006 12:10

lots of other things have had him as English though. can we not just assume he has dual nationality and is both?

Royal Rother · by **Royal Rother** » 22 Aug 2006 12:13

You sounded ok pal.

They seemed prepared to chuck a good few questions at you. My tip would be to take a very brief pause before you speak as it will give you a moment to collect your thoughts. Don't dive into football cliche speak which is a danger.

Anyway, FWIW, well done and keep it up!

I'm guessing his nationality is actually British.
