Re: BFTG - Burnley

With regards to diving, especially relevant with regards to this game, my suggestion would be as follows: Remove the law stating that simulation is a yellow card offence, frankly players have gotten so good at it that I empathise with referees when it comes to differentiating between a dive and a f...

Re: Tight old Reading

Bayer are relocating their offices from Newbury to Reading..... Green Park IIRC, which means a large company with a history of getting involved with their local football team will be based very near to a local football team - Might be an opportunity there, as long as we don't have to change our nam...

Re: REFWATCH : Huddersfield Town (h)

He should simply have acknowledged his cock up and ordered the Huddersfield player to play the ball back to Reading as we were in possession at the time. A referee can only suggest a team gives the ball back to the opposition from a drop ball restart. There is no law that says they can be forced to...

Re: Reading FC fined £30,000

Its an odd offence to be charged with - "Football League regulations that prohibit any individual or legal entity having an interest in more than one club". Reading FC do not have interests in more than one club, they borrowed from somebody who did and they are charged. What about the comp...

Re: McCarthy to Newcastle?

Not certain McCarthy would fit in at Newcastle, I don't think he can speak French.

Re: Russian Money

If the company was incorporated during Jnuary 2012 then presumably the first set of accounts would be to 31 January 2013. A Private Limited Company has 10 months in which to submit its accounts,so they have until the 30 November 2013 to file. They are not yet late. From memory (failing due to old ag...

Re: Speculation - Etien Velikonja

No offence, but I hardly think we'll be focusing out striker replacement policy for Pogrebnyak solely on height. :roll: You say that but I heard we've enquired about Sultan Kösen...
