You should work in marketing for X

Dave Kitson > Kevin Doyle > Shane Long while they were with us. Long improved later in his career.

With Lita, that was a magical group.

If the existing club gets liquidated, could we be in a bizarre situation where the the new club Board spawned out of STAR are negotiating with Dai to use the SCL? Or would we refuse to give him a penny on principle? SCL would seem to be a good option. Otherwise the fans need to travel farther and a...

Lybia has a government????

Orion1871 Goal shouldn't have stood.

Correct - 2 balls on the pitch. Second ball right in front of the ref.

[quote="Simmops"]Absolutely oxf*rd shambolic today in the WBA game. Not so much VAR although it had a part to play. Wtf was the freekick sequence about[/quote] Dunk asked the ref if he could take the free kick. The ref blew his whistle and Dunk scored. At some point the whistle was blown a...

[quote="Simmops"]Mental scenes today with Brighton. Whistle blew to take a freekick, they did and the ref blew it again because it was too quick but they scored, he then gave the goal but VAR took it away.[/quote] How was it "too quick" if the ref had blown for it to be taken? No...

Jinx Sorry ref but that's just blatant incompetence

Incompetent, or dishonest?

First game was England v Scotland at Wembley, 1969. Wasn't really interested in football as a young kid, but my Dad was offered tickets by a friend whose company did maintaince work at the stadium. First Reading game was the FA Cup tie against Newcastle in 1990. Drew 3-3 in an exciting game. Newcast...

[quote="Nameless"][quote="Lower West"]Start a Crowdfunding campaign to bring the club, at least partly back, under the control of the community and the fans. Foreign owners are after prestige, i.e. the first Chinese billionaire to win the Premiership. Gives them bragging rights o...

I think what isn't good is our lack of identity... I was thinking about this earlier today before I saw this thread. I emigrated to Austria 10 years ago having watched Reading since the mid-1980s and had a season ticket at Madejski stadium. Madejski's ownership brought stability and took the club f...

How did we get to page 3 without an Ian Royal vote? (Or did I miss it?)

I wouldn't laugh we could be next. Along with others sadly this Covid is going to hit football very hard. Why would we be next ? It would be unlikely, but I wouldn't rule out us breaking financial fair play rules if the owner puts more money than is permitted into the club to ensure we don't go int...

... intellectual property generates a deadweight loss. I understand why you might want to get rid of market inefficiencies - but I'd argue that there are many more important problmes to fix than depriving musicians of income. For example, is it right that Jeff Bezos is worth over $140 billion while...

The people who are really stealing a living: - Anyone who wrote a song or book more than twenty years ago and is still claiming royalties. Musicians are highly skilled, often highly qualified, and usually not paid very much. The average income of a professional musician according to the UK Music re...

I think Sir Cliff Richard said that he's going to lose ownership of some of his own songs because he wrote them so long ago, Perhaps the rule should be that they become copyright free after something like x years or x years after the artists dies, whichever is the longer. There are (at least) two t...

Excuse me, but I would politely like to ask...
