Re: Rival Watch

Yeah, the 1-0 winner at Bromley (pre-season first ever Premiership season).
Brown broke a leg, Feds played up front, Hamer went in goal iirc.

Re: Hunt out.

That’s why we (and dozens of other clubs) scour the lower leagues…plenty of gems waiting to step-up.given the chance. Our (and their) scouting teams get paid to sniff them out, that’s their job…..plenty out there. Doesn’t apply of course, to those ‘big boys’ that buy from abroad……blocking the progre...

Hey John, where've you been lately? As a fellow EatB fan, it’s always nice to see your posts. The chagrinned subject of your post above, played the full 90+….think you might need to dig a bit deeper for doing some finger-waggling than just picking your seasonal scapegoat after just three games tbf. ...

Re: Ex Royals

Mid Sussex Royal Smith came on and scored, last kick of game just about
decent cross, decent head, decent goal….found himself space to be unmarked too. Think Parky will appreciate that.

Re: The Local Journo Thread

^this

If anybody has ever delved into the realms of ‘In Your Area’ (the Evening Post’ replacement), you will see that it it is neither ‘local’ (despite setting up your account for RG news) and is nothing much more than an advertisement platform….RFC (or any sport Reading based) barely even exists

Re: The Local Journo Thread

Good evening to you too, don’t do twitter, tik tok nor much nothing at all.
Fair does, well done.
The guy takes pelters on here from ‘one or two discerning listeners’’, so great to hear from the other side for a change.

Re: Rival Watch

I still remember the Peterborough cup game where he was incapable of covering his bottom corners as well. Not to mention West Brom away where (ISTR) he came charging out for a ball he was never, ever going to get to. But he is the only Reading keeper to score for Reading while playing as a keeper. ...

As sn aside, Ryan is no longer with us, but the minibus that was afforded to his school is still around. A credit to Jem K (who was one of the main instigators of the event).

Re: Antonio

Already been said, but ‘love’ wouldn’t come into it (in regard to signing for a/our L1 club once again) anyway.

Sir SC plucked him from non-league invisibility and obscurity.

He thrived there-on in

Our loss…. as it happened


Unless Brogue waxes lyrical differently, it won't happen anyway :lol:

Re: Antonio

I never thought that we gave him an adequate crack at it after we signed him from T&M
History has proven me correct…….more fool us I guess.

However, unless he wants to do an Andy Carroll, there is absolutely no chance of us re-signing him.

Would love it tho’
