ROYALS v BURNLEY (H)FA Cup Sponsered by The Met Office.

[higher]

Well after last weeks goal fest here we go again this time with an inevitable Royals fringe team looking to impress and stake their claims.Be interesting how our B outfit perform against a middling championship team.Almost inevitable Federici will start.Awaiting team news.Chucking it down at the madhouse pitch being frantically forked!

i predict a riot
3-0 reading

this is a match where john oster can burn off his christmas dinner, as on recent off the bench showings, he is not good enough to break into the first team, and nowhere near to dislodging little

Ingi` s in and Bobby starts.Lita and Long up front.

REF rob Styles.(At the time of writing standing water on pitch and serious doubt if game will go ahead).

[Coppell's Right Footed 11]

4-4-2?

bikey and either oster or convey centre midfield?

[YoungRoyal]

Sounds like its going to be called off...

[higher]

Yup I should thing so assuming Styles gives go ahead for game.Gilksey on commentary convinced it will be called off as things stand .Fingers crossed.

[RoyalChicagoFC]

REF rob Styles

So that would be ("The Ever-Fashionable") Rob Styles in for Chris ("Let's Hear It for the") Foy?

[higher]

You got it Royalchicago. Rob "the curse"Styles even.

[Huntley & Palmer]

I think this is going to be called off in all honesty

[Royalupnorth]

Predictions for todays match?

Mine? - Off!

[RoyalChicagoFC]

You got it Royalchicago. Rob "the curse"Styles even.

And do you know how I spotted that?

Because I'm a regular reader of the REFWATCH series --that's how.

[higher]

According to Commentary lots of shaking of heads. Standing water in both goalmouths.Still hammering it down. Almost defo off I would guess.Could do without it but serious injuries we dont need.
Styles may elect to delay KO for half hour or so.

[Newbie]

Murty on commentary!!injury sounds pretty cureable!

[higher]

Murty quote: " Harps wants to play he`d love sliding all over the place a bit of a freak"!! lol

[RoyalChicagoFC]

So then --if postponed, until when?

Edit: since postponed...

[higher]

Seems to be off boo.Is this a first at the madhouse?

[Huntley & Palmer]

23rd I would imagine.

[theroyals_eh]

Yep Reading 107 just confirmed its off

[Royalupnorth]

Predictions for todays match?

Mine? - Off!

My first ever correct prediction.

But no game for us today
