As a neutral but overall BHA liking person, who attended yesterday with a Reading season ticket holder, I have to say he is right about the game. I have never in 35 years of watching football seen quite so many players go down for no reason whatsoever and quite such a drama queen of a manager as Gus. It was embarassing to watch a decent team like BHA with good players resort to such outright cheating on more than one occasion.
I have also watched football for over 35 years and some of our players DO go down quite easily, however, the ref was poor, Reading players went over top of the ball without even a warning, we have had players sent off for less. I thought the result flattered Reading tremendously and on another day Brighton would have won. Other than the first 15 minutes I was distinctly unimpressed and felt Brighton were going to come back. Clear pen and a sending off (going by the laws of the game), CMS missed two, Paynter miraculously put the ball over from a yard. I cannot remember Casper having a save to make.
