Reading vs Brighton And Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Ernest]

Need that loan striker quickly

 

[nevergoagain]

3 game ban follows - no strikers. good luck!!

This with bells on.

 

[dougdeep]

Barnes is back. Don't panic.

 

[jevs]

Ref couldn't wait to even it up.

Stupid challenge, straight red. ref had no choice.

 

[Husty]

Ref couldn't wait to even it up.

Ulloa's boot was at the guys head level, deserved red. Nothing soft about it.

 

[Da Man Clay]

3 match ban I presume

Yep. Need a CF ASAP.

 

[LamieRobertson]

i'm available for QPR game...anyone got a spare pair of boots

 

[Barrel of Fun]

What did Ulloa do?

Went for a high ball and kung fu kicked their player. No malice, just overzealous.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Cant argue with the red cards... more worried now about the affect of Ulloas suspension

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ulloa's boot was at the guys head level, deserved red. Nothing soft about it.

if u look at the reply he pulled his boot out the way at the very last moment (otherwise the guy would still be on the floor)...but i am afraid a deserved red for dangerous play

 

[inland seagull]

Far too many red cards in football these days, there should be a sin bin for non violent offences

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

For anyone that didn't see it, think Nigel De Jong in the World Cup. Completely stupid challenege, no need to make it at all. He even clocked where the Reading player was before making the challenege

 

[Colossal Squid]

Oh well, that's the game over for us then. Draw is the best we can hope for now.

Need for a loan striker now greater than ever

Apart from Barnes on the bench and the loan striker we will get next week. ****

 

[Barrel of Fun]

3 match ban I presume

I thought it is a one match ban? Three for violent conduct?

 

[LamieRobertson]

best effort of the game by Crofts so far

 

[piersa]

Spot on. Hope it's only a 2 game

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Ref couldn't wait to even it up.

Yes, but Big Len was stupid to give the ref the perfect chance to even it up. No complaints about the red at all.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Went for a high ball and kung fu kicked their player. No malice, just overzealous.

spot on

 

[Frutos]

Calde booked, again the correct decision.

Calde and Kaz on yellows for us, Pearce and Drenthe on yellows for them.
