Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

Do you travel to Reading for home games on the regs Leon? Had you down as a Royals TV man, but may have to update my spreadsheet. Season ticket holder for about 30 years. Rain or shine. Mostly rain. Fair play. I struggled to motivate myself even when I lived in Reading since Paul Clement, let alone...

Re: Weekend Football

No it’s a nonsense. I don’t care about all the logical arguments for VAR, football is an emotional game. VAR has ruined it Yep Don't normally watch Prem games or Prem teams as in this case. Diving, faking injury and a perfectly good goal called back by VAR. I don't miss it Peter Drury and his over ...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Neil Harris was at a wedding we went to in Essex. He was wearing a walking cast and was on crutches.

The bride was fit but she was a bit of a mental and ended up fcuking her fitness instructor about a year later.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

We could still be playing now and we’d not have scored and probably only had got a couple more shots off. We looked one dimensional and blunt. I don’t like the way we play but I get that results have been good and everyone has a different perspective. Do you travel to Reading for home games on the ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

There's a difference between passing at the back and overplaying at the back between centre backs and keeper. This was not a Jaap Stam situation. Even when we had the ball at the back we were looking to create angles and play vertically. They certainly weren't comfortable and we were threatening ev...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

yes agree…it’s easy to judge and wax lyrical from the usual ‘Royals TV’ and BBC Berks coverage Guess you had to actually be there Yeah I was. And luck doesn't come into it. To say we were robbed is a joke. Playing the ball around at the back isn't dominating. We had about 2 shots on target second h...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

Dunno what you lot saw, I thought we were on top throughout, utterly dominant and bizarrely robbed of three points. Sure the Shrews were managing the second half but if Reading played that game 10 times they’d have won 9 of them. Disastrous luck, but sometimes that’s how it goes. We’ve had our shar...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

Sorry chaps but that was terrible. Just like the first 60 mins on Tuesday Wing and Azeez were woeful. In fact i can't think of any of the team that come out with much credit. We play appalling football. It's mostly pointless long balls to Smith or getting it wide right and hoping Azeez will do somet...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

I think Wing is comfortably better than any CMs we had last season, which is ridiculous when you consider we're playing a division lower. In fact, would you even swap out Craig or Savage for Fornah, Loum or Hendrick? Interesting. Thunderstrikes aside, I've thought Wing's performances haven't been a...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

paultheroyal Crossed my mind last night and seen it being commented today but with PA belting out "three little birds" last night at half time - is that a sign?

Also, impressed how randomly everyone else joined in to sing.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

A woeful 70+ mins followed by a cracking goal and a bit of a mad finish. We are a very frustrating team to watch. We are crying out for movement in midfield from Wing etc to make space to receive and play the ball. The defence runs the ball into trouble or launches it for Smith who’s invariably up a...

stealthpapes But tonight, a win takes us to touching distance of 40 pints


I know I said we need to win as many games as we can but that's possibly overdoing the celebrations on a Tuesday night. :shock:

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

We need to win as many games as soon as possible and secure our L1 status - we don't know what the twat of an owner will/or won't do so we need as many points on the board (just typing that shows how low we've sunk).

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.
