Re: Songs for Forest

I was a season ticket holder from 1995 in the South Bank and then East Stand, but emigrated to the US in 2003 and only saw the Ipswich game this season when I was briefly back in Reading so only hear the latest chants when seeing video clips. The "McDermott, he used to manage Slough, he is a Ro...

Re: Back from the game - Ipswich (H)

This was my first game since the playoff final (since I live in the US). Atrocious ref (and linesmen); dull first half; better second half; delighted with the result. I thought our passing and general alertness were off today. Many passes made it to the intended recipient but were a couple of yards ...

Re: What the papers say: Swansea play off final

I know it's over a month since the playoff final, but here's a pretty interesting report of it (which came out a few days ago) by a US sports website: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6744366/upstairs-downstairs.

Re: Manager Backing?

I fully support BMcD; he has worked wonders for the club on very limited resources. But I don't disagree with Avon Royal (or any other fan's) right to just ask a question. Different people have different views. A fan just wants the best for his/her team. We've had (in my opinion) a decent start to t...

Re: Ghana v Uruguay

The problem (some) people have with it is that the punishment was too soft for the crime. Spot on. He knew that the red card meant nothing so close to the end of the game, and took advantage of the light punishment to cheat. If you're terminally ill with one month to live (the equivalent of 88th mi...

Re: Ghana v Uruguay

Similarly, I don't think there's anything in the rules to stop Materazzi insulting Zidane's sister to try to get him sent off, or taunting Danny Mills after his kid died to try to get him sent off, but that's still cheating. Is it still cheating if there's nothing in the rules about it? I'm not so ...

Re: Ghana v Uruguay

By that logic AP, someone in prison is not a criminal because he got caught. Suarez broke the rules (In the same situation, yes, most of us would have) and he knew what was coming. It was DELIBERATE. In my view, it doesn't really matter if you get caught or not. If you deliberately break the rules ...

Sky Sports highlighting Fed's excellent distribution. I think he's done well - no difficult saves so far (thanks to good defending) but claimed some tricky high balls cleanly

Re: Birmingham Match Thread

NHunt bends an excellent free kick into the near post. Taylor got a touch but the pace was too much

Amusing reaction from the Brum fans on Sky Sports: "you f*cking c*ck" to NHunt (or perhaps to Taylor)

Re: It is one man's fault

Southbank Old Boy I have a feeling that Coppell will walk at the end of this season.


I agree. I think next week may be his last game, regardless of whether we stay up or not.

Re: Nice one colin you sour faced bitter oxf*rd

Warnock is right. It's true that, if we go down, it will be mainly our fault for not having been good enough over 38 games. But the entire 38 game season can come down to just one game, and being relegated because Liverpool put out a reserve team (or Spurs did against Birmingham just after the Carli...
