Re: FA Cup 2025-26

Fox Talbot I’ll take Eastbourne or Whitstable away please.


+1.
Even Whitstable at home would be interesting for me.
I'd also add in Slough Town away.

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

Saw Chris Armstrong mentioned. Player of Season 08-09 and revealed, after retiring, he'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in that season. Fondly remembered here. Yep, Armstrong was class that season. Very sad end to his career. I recall him coming back for a couple of games in the 10/11 seaso...

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

I liked him. Called himself Pélé. Wasn't his real name. It's almost like I can't quite believe he was ever real. And someone I've never forgotten, but I reckon many will have done: Ulysses de la Cruz. I remembered his goal, the long run from one end of the pitch to the other, but I had forgotten th...

Re: Royals TV Match Commentary; better or worse?

Are you in the States? In the UK, the Berkshire feed usually cuts out a few minutes before three, to be replaced by a general Saturday goals programme. (I think it's this one: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p099jr69.) Very occasionally, I think someone forgets to flick a switch, and the Berkshire...

Re: Royals TV Match Commentary; better or worse?

I assumed the BBC RB commentary wasn't available online due to copyright reasons, but discovered during the Wycombe game that you could listen live on the BBC Sounds app. Don't know how long that's been the case but I'm wondering if its since the club stopped taking the commentary. I'm fortunate to ...

Re: Predictions for this weekend

If Orient make short work of Huddersfield, the atmosphere at the stadium could get deflated very quickly, hope 1871 and the surrounding blocks are up for a good bit of cheering regardless of what is going on in the Orient game because the team deserve the support. Was about to say similar. We need ...

Re: Nostalgia thread

https://royals.org/matdoc/080297.html Anyone have memories of this game? I must have seen it on Final Score as I vaguely remember Quinn in goal and Morley scoring. Think that was when I first became properly aware of Morley. Having looked into it more there were no Prem games that day because it was...

Re: Snitching on fans

I'd report it - calling fans, particularly those on their own a C--- is just not on. I go to games on my own, and despite being a fully grown adult, I still feel a bit self-conscious and lonely somehow. To be targeted like this would probably cause me to leave. I totally get this. I've never been t...

Bumping this up as i downloaded Championship Manager 2 9697 last month. Up to the start of October and currently 22nd on GD.. despite being +4 points compared to the corresponding games in real life. Early days but can't believe that we stayed up that season :shock: Early contenders for POTS - Boris...

Re: Man down -SCIAG

I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you, CR, and his family and friends. He was a great poster and I always used to enjoy his posts, especially on the academy. He was so knowledgeable on the youth that I was always convinced he must have a connection to the club. He’ll be missed on here...

Re: Players who started off good but became terrible

There used to be a fans network site (forget its name now), knew someone who used to update the Gillingham site. By contrast the Reading site was dead (guessing everyone was on here instead) but I remember posting on it once and Brebner actually replied :shock: When we signed Gorkss I told a QPR fan...

Re: Injury watch 2024/25

John Clarke and Mamadi Camara both offer glimpses that they can be of use to the team and then disappear for 6 months. Anyone know any updates on them? Surely it's time to call it a day, they've been doing this for years now? I believe Clarke has an ACL injury so season ending. Camara I think initi...

I think he spent a while as Chris Evans’ sports guy when Evans started doing the Radio 2 breakfast show. Yes he did, they spoke about that pre match. Didn't listen to Chris Evans on R2 that often but seem to recall him telling Evans about going to watch us on a Sat but not admitting that he was wor...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

This bloke on the BBC Berks commentary is superior to Dellor in every way. You absolutely know when you've scored with him that's for sure. Brilliant passion! Was pleased to hear Jonny Saunders was doing it again, he hadn't done it for ages (Hull away under Ince he said so almost 2 years ago i thin...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

Stranded mentioned in another thread earlier in the week about how we've tightened up our defence. One thing that occurred to me today was that this has happened since Andrew Sparkes left.

In the 7 games we've played in all competitions since then just 3 goals conceded.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (a)

A rare game for me, and even rarer away. My first trip to the Valley, was in the home end (went with non Reading mate) just behind the Charlton dugout. Disappointing result but it wasn't a 0-4 performance, in fact until Charlton scored i thought we were marginally the better team. The first goal act...

The Mail article also mentions about not paying the wages on time in November, suggesting it could lead to a separate deduction or another suspended penalty.

Re: The magic of the FA Cup

On the other hand, the year we got promoted he kept the most clean sheets in the league and won POTS (I think). Nope, he came second to Alex Pearce. Oh, ok - runner up. My bad :roll: I remember Gorkss didn't even come in the top 3 that year despite being our best centre back (IMO). Karacan was the ...

Re: The magic of the FA Cup

In reality, it was a pretty even game after the early howlers from Adam Liability. I've just watched them back and I'd forgotten just how bad they were. Just after the 2 minute mark in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPxBikbaEQs Gunnarsson's shot was closer to goal than I remember. The...
