Myself and Couhig have had a few chats. He knows he has a lot of goodwill already but a successful businessman is always planning ahead. He needs to get the fans on board so he is reaching out to key influencers like myself. I told him he has a lot of metaphorical credit in the bank just because he ...

Is John Ryan not Irish? He is from Limerick and is 21, so suggest it would have been JR. So we've got 2 players from Limerick, 1 from Cork and the the manager's from Waterford. Given that Shane Long was from Tipperary, we seem to do quite well shopping in Munster. Wexford is in Leinster but your po...

I am hearing he has signed a one-year deal.

Walked out on Wigan due to contract breaches like Whatmough Done well in the SPL, google suggests other SPL clubs would be strongly interested The good news is we can compete with all SPL teams on wages (apart from Celtic who have no interest in him). I think he is holding out for a championship te...

I am not sure if my contact on the club side is the same as Brogue's but anyway I got a little nugget last week. We have made an offer to Jamie McGrath. He is biding his time though as he may get SPL and/or championship offers. I would be surprised if we got him but the offer was made and not reject...

You'd have to wonder what kind of player would choose to come here...at the end of each month frantically logging into the online bank account to see if the wages have cleared doesn't sound like much fun.

I would bite your hand off for 21st place right now. We are in a false position but these points will help in the relegation fight.

We are a really limited side but if we fight we have a chance.

Shows how far we have fallen that most of the discussion around this game is based around hoping the other team's forward is unavailable to play.

Even without him they will beat us comfortably.

We won't be a force until October.

Easy one here, most should be able to guess this.

Which player has scored most goals coming on from the bench for Reading FC this century (all competitions)?

Which player (not a goalkeeper) had the most appearances in a Reading shirt without scoring a goal (this century)?

Gus the teenage cow Have we got what it takes?

To lose 5-0?

No, to get a result, any result!!

A lot of doom and gloom but we showed glimpses

Have we got what it takes?

We have no goalkeeper we can trust currently.

We should loan an experience premier league goalkeeper.

Lumley is a confidence player and this could already be a fatal blow to any hopes he can perform to an adequate level this season.

I'll be watching this with the Cardiff ultras and may offer a few outside if they get too salty. Is it true that Yiadom and Meite have knocks? We have no full-backs if so true (or strikers for that matter) When do we start asking questions of the head of sports science at the club? An injury crisis ...

I woild buy and if he doesn't perform then swap him for Ingimarsson (who I would love to see back at the club despite his advancing years)

Snowflake Royal Done it on TB.

Yeah Wycombe I got it, it was a shit joke, but you happened to be the most recent post on the subject.

I was going to make a joke about the signing of Tyrese Fornah being a "fornahlity" but I reconsidered. I think I am maturing as a man.

has played one game in his entire career at championship level

has never scored a goal in his entire career

I am doing cartwheels here

He would have to take a massive reduction in pay to come here. Also he gets a bit of criticism from supporters of his national team for being careless in possession. At this level he might be OK but if he is looking like the weak link in a poor Irish team then he's not going to shake up any trees.

not sure this lad will settle
