Ejaria. A man well known for his work rate and high pressing capabilities. Can only assume those falling over themselves to defend Ejaria have never seen him play. Honestly, can only think you're the one who hasn't seen him play. No problems ever with his work rate. Decisions when he had the ball w...

East Grinstead Royal Tim Dellor reports Dean is signing today.

Twitter admin has just posted a photo of a Harley Davidson motorbike asking if we want news.....

Thanks for that - 106 is looking favourite at the minute, now to just pick the game! Can you wear football shirts in hospitality, or do you have to dress up? No football shirts, unless you're a kid, but you don't have to dress up. Always just done smart casual which is absolutely fine. Guess it mig...

Under the rules, yes we are free of having to pay him - although apparently wages have already been paid so go figure. How are wages paid? e.g., are they paid on say 21st of July for whole of July? Given we are supposed to pay for up to a month after end of contract, and it's now 28th July, I don't...

I’ll remember him positively. Was superb at times, struggled in a poor team along with everyone else. Never bought into the lazy tag, just not suited to that pressing style Does this mean we don’t have to pay his July salary :) 15k towards the tax bill Under the rules, yes we are free of having to ...

One Beer is never enough. Thanks for that - 106 is looking favourite at the minute, now to just pick the game!

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23151469/shaka-hislop-collapses-live-tv-real-madrid-ac-milan/ Terrible :( I watched a clip on Twitter and loads of comments saying he was vaccinated against covid and all the anti vax brigade weighting in ffs Really wish him a speedy recovery, just have to say I won't...

Not really. It’s understandable people don’t like Stam but let’s not rewrite history We conceded 64 goals in Stam’s first season, 70 the season after, not a huge difference there. Kermorgant, whilst being an important player, only really became clinical in the last month or so (think 50% of his goa...

“Most of his time with us” - not sure that’s particularly accurate. Started off well before getting injured, had an awful period in January time before being one of our better players from mid-February time Agree with OMA that he’s not someone we should be going back for but out of all the midfield...

AFC Reading There are few potential names I'd hate more than AFC Reading. Biscuitmen FC Berkshire Blues (Pro Evo used to call Reading that to avoid copyright issues) New Reading FC East Reading FC South Reading FC North Reading FC West Reading FC Probably loads of variations, all a bit crap really ...

Was just about to post Karacan as over rated, did nothing but run around, the fact he came out of the academy got him a free pass from most fans. The fact his career nosedived as soon as he left show's his quality. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't anything to do with 2 career threatening injuries. Can't hav...

Agree there are cheaper alternatives but not if you're elderly or disabled. Yep. Please tell me they don't charge full price for disabled parking. That'll really tip me over the edge... Relax, they don't. There are permits issued for the season, and disabled supporters attending on a match by match...

Do we know for certain it was for religious reasons? Whatever religion he has it doesn't seem to have made him a happy chappy when at work nor committed to the work ethic (refusing to play in a game last season). There is some serious talent there but no manager seems to be able to extract it or ma...

I'm resigned to it now, tbh. Only thing is - can you have a Cat 1 academy if you are in League 1? Was talking to a supporter today who said you couldn't and it would be gutting for the academy staff, having worked so hard to get back to Cat 1. I wasn't aware of any such rule.

I presume that Namaso is Portuguese for Loader http://sportwitness.co.uk/young-naive-inexperienced-player-talks-reading-departure/ Pretty common for Portuguese players to drop their surnames - and his twitter profile is @dannynamaso, so he probably uses that form now. Cristiano Ronaldo is actually ...

Yeah truth in that. Actually get quite surprised when I speak to someone who is born here. Whilst no one is going to choose to move to Sunderland Yep, Reading one of those places where people born there tend to move on and are replaces by those who are attracted by the employment opportunities and/...

And a lot of those clubs have an inherent advantage over us - historic mass support. Clubs in predominantly industrial/working class areas will have a long tradition of local support - watching the match was just what you did on a Saturday after the hooter went for the end of shift for the docks/mi...

Brogue Alfie Mawson retires age 29 through injury

Tough for him as that's relatively young these days. Still, a player that got to the PL after being released by us at 15 has definitely got the drive and determination to overcome setbacks, hope he thrives in whatever he chooses to do next.

Easing himself back after such a bad injury is no bad thing. Good to see Kelvin E on the scoresheet again. Can't help but think we might be reaching the stage where we need to use him or lose him. Maybe his brother's struggle will dissuade him from looking further afield too early. Where is he now?...

Leavy to Shelbourne on loan. Would have liked to see him in div1 or 2 ideally. They seem to rate him, gets lots of game time in the u21 League of Ireland is a decent level - probably lower L1/L2 equivalent I would say and he gets to go home for a while to play. Also the wording is he'll be there un...
