Re: BFTG - Blackburn Home

Decent performance, thought Blackburn very poor in the 1st half. Decent noise from Y25/6 but agreed with others on the attendance. Just a thought, what's going on with the car parking situation lately? Could that be putting people off? I arrived at the Holiday Inn at about 7:30pm and it was very ne...

Re: Why are "we" booing players keeping the ball?

Have to agree with Sandman here. People talk about the "possession " way of playing football or "hoofball" the more direct way of playing as if those are the only to choices. In truth it is a lot more complicated than that. Steve Coppell and his coaching team used to talk about p...

Re: Tiger speaks to fans

Did anyone raise the apparent contradiction in relying on youth and letting someone like Tish go? Club wouldn't turn down that fee, don't think any club of our stature or even higher would. PLUS Tish asked to go apparently which is hardly surprising given the size of Villa compared to Reading. Hi S...

Re: New manager odds

As if you have any idea about the approach the club is currently taking. You'll note the word "If" at the start of the sentence. I don't really think that - based on what I actually said - if we were to appoint someone within a week of sacking McDermott who has no English, particularly Ch...

Re: McDermott Sacked (AGAIN)

Excellent, Denver. Nope not excellent...if only for the statement underlined. Bringing in any manager and then firing them after just 5 months, even with the results achieved really would invite ridicule and anger, disbelief and prompt concerns about the decision making at a club from any fan. Add ...

Re: Why Should McDermott Have Been Given A Chance?

Re: McDermott Sacked (AGAIN)

It depends really. If the ownership seems to be making sound decisions, and the new manager seems to be doing a good job along Reading ethos lines, I'll go to more games (I've not said I'd stop entirely), though if things continue to deteriorate - and I'm not specifically talking results on the pit...

Re: McDermott Sacked (AGAIN)

Valid points, and 6 defeats in 7 is definitely sackable form in the football world... but I still think it's a joke that he wasn't given the summer. On past achievements the evidence is there that Brian is good at building teams, it's what he does - and he wasn't given the chance at all. Especially...

Re: McDermott Sacked (AGAIN)

Shame for Brian, thoroughly nice and decent bloke, cares for Reading FC. He was the wrong man for the Job when appointed and that is not his fault but that of the owners or whoever appointed him. Deffo should be given another role in the club somewhere, academy or scouting but i suspect it wont hap...

Re: Welcome back Brian?

And still no manager appointed. The club is turning into a bad joke. Why get rid of a manager without having a replacement lined up? Madness. Actively recruiting for a replacement manger when you have one in place sounds almost as disloyal as going for an interview with a club when you are already ...

Re: Questions about the game from Bradford fans

I hope Bradford fans are as complimentary about Reading as Reading fans were about Bradford. "What a shithole" Give it a rest boy. Still bitter about them shoving 4 past Chelski in your back yard ? Not at all. I didn't call Bradford a shithole, some of your fans did. I actually want Bradf...
