Re: Rumour - Reise Allassani

Old Man Andrews I am all for signing players and I am sure the lad is talented etc but is this what it has come to?


Do you mean buying from non-league teams?

I call your Allassani and raise you one Robin Friday and one Kerry Dixon.

Re: Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

Oilroyal Maybe that’s why they’ve been drip feeding us the Liam Moore story for the past month. Could be bye, bye Liam to service the debt in January.



I think it is far more likely that Samuelson has met his match and that the, very wealthy, owners are fighting the charge. We shall see.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h) sponsored by still waiting for a Saturday home win

And talking of support, one would hope for a fairly decent turn out given £5 per ticket for the Mad Stad’s 500th game but then this is Reading, a real hotbed of football - especially on the last Saturday before Xmas. :roll: I'm taking 4 family members who are over for Christmas with me on Saturday,...

Re: Tommy Jenkins.

I was gutted when he left. He was an awesome player, very quick, great ball control and a superb end product.

Re: BFTG Wednesday.

I am reliably informed that after failing to pass forward to an unmarked Bacuna and passing backwards instead Paul McShane reacted to the crowds moans by turning towards the Lower West and shouting eff off. Not a great reaction by the skipper of a badly underperforming team. Did anyone else witness...

Re: RUMOUR - Omar Richards

Well, if an untested 19 year old is worth £2m then Moore should fund a new front line and a brand new stadium with his transfer fee.

Ergo, I don't believe it.

Re: Parking

Haven't got to a game since August, WTF is this holiday inn thing about??? First they up the charge and now they've stopped the guy that looks like Seve Ballesteros taking the money making it a massive pain in the arse? The situation with the parking could genuinely deter me and the old man from go...

Re: 6,000 League goals - FAO Strap

Didn't Darius Henderson hit a goal landmark a few years ago? It might have been Madejski Stadium related though, something like the 1,000th goal scored at the stadium. Maybe we can have a countdown to some records? I think we did have a countdown (ish) for the 5000th goal. Might be mistaken but I h...

Re: Injury watch 2017-18 season

Assuming this story is true, we already have a reasonable cover in Jaakola. There is no need to recall Bond yet. Let Legg cover the bench until Jaakola is injured and then call Bond back, that way he continues to get good first team experience until we need him to go straight back into our first tea...

Re: BFTG - Nottingham Forest

Football is funny isn't it. We were in terrible form going into yesterday's game, now we've got 2 wins in 4. It's kind of annoying we've found ourselves away from home next against one of the form sides in the league - could've done with another home game to back this result up. Indeed. Derby prett...

Re: We're crap ..........but only 5 points worse off than we should be at this stage ... more stupid and pointless stat

To have a decent season (around playoffs with 77 pts) you need to get points as follows - Top 6 - draw at home lose away - 5 from this group assumign a top 6 finish) Second 6 - draw at home draw away - 12 pts from this group Third 6 - win at home draw away - 24 pts from this group Bottom 6 - win at...

I haven't been to a single game this season. After my travels up the M4 to watch turgid boring football for the last couple of years I have decided to give it a break and just listen to BBCRB. It is a normal thing for my kids and me to do one of the Chrimbo home games together; this year they have s...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (h) sponsored by fat ladies being asked about their availability

When have we had a fit team? This is irrelevant. Most of our injuries, (often unreported), occur on the training ground. With the size of squad Stam has, and the amount of money he has spent, it is his responsibility to get a BALANCED squad that is capable of dealing with injuries. It is also his r...
