Looked like the first one was handball in the 3rd minute in the area. Second one wasn’t. But we’re looking to the guy who left his guide dog at home to do call that for the useless ref.

Well given my uber-pessimistic prediction I’m happy with 0-0 at half time and hope that this alone doesn’t jinx us for the second half. Agreed re Reading’s approach to a sport that was once a lot easier to love and watch.

Not sure who’s a bigger bunch of cunts. The dirty cheats of Reading or the ref and AR that are watching them do all this stuff.

0-0 at HT. You can get 3/1 for us to win at home at the moment. We cannot be that bad can we?

Leicester down to ten men now too. Russell Martin sacked in the morning…

If Burton can be 2-0 up at Leicester we can surely beat Reading can't we?

Reeves scores for Barnet

FWIW think we'll be better than people are expecting but no cigar, yet

Reading away stripe is yuk but at least you'll be seen on a dark country road at night

Riverside radio sounds ok so far

0-5 today as we get run ragged all over the pitch.

Dons 1 Reading 3,will give Riverside Radio a go for live commentary

Silk, no brainer now we have Stockley and something you can perfect on the training pitch.

Harry Sidwell on the score sheet again

Hull 2-0 up over United. Both set pieces. Maybe we should look into that method of scoring. Only 34% possession for Hull.

Pure respect

Wonder why Pompey are playing in a Saints '76 fa cup winners kit 😂

Boreham Wood have rejected a bid of £1.5m for one of their players.

With Hackford though you could possibly move him to wide midfield like we did with Andy Clarke. Would love to see if he has a moment in him that Clarke had against Palace when he set up Holdsworth

In the past we used to love being the underdog at home at home and that spurred us on. We should have that mentality these days. If we have one signing left in the window I would like us to sign another forward who can handle himself in the manner of Bugiel, Stockley, Stevens and Al-Hamadi to make our high ball to the front two more effective. Not too sure how we will fit in Sasu and Hackford though.

Fair point Spartan about the wording / picture connection ... mea culpa

That's not the West Bank. Look at the lines on the pitch and the position of the GK. If anywhere, it's the stand on Plough Lane side, but, like Sparta, I don't remember that gable either. Eddie Reynolds and Norman Williams also in pic.

I don't remember that roof on the South Stand either and it must have gone soon after as there are 1960s pictures with the roof and advertising I do recognise

Tom Swig - that is the south stand, though, just like $6mdm, I don't remember the gable part of it. Also, I think they are just stating that the new roof on the west bank opened that day, and are not suggesting that that is the west bank in the picture.

Where do the players park?
