Reading "hooligans"

[Spires Dreaming]

You got your spires and dreaming round the wrong way, 2nd account??

No actually, they changed my name for some reason. Still says my joining date.

The charming Mr Frain was banged-up about 18 months ago, after participating in a spot of organised thuggery at Glasgow Central Staion:-

Isn't that the cast from Priscilla Queen of the Desert?

Have never been rivals.

Fair enough, I read it in a 'hooligans' book, must be bullshite then.

Different number of posts though.

I suspect he may also be a closet Palace fan :safeway:

I suspect you are right...why would an Oxford fan post 218 smart arse comments on a BHA website?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Who cares about snide remarks from Oxford or Bristol Rovers fans? We've been there and will never forget the hard times and now we fully enjoy the stadium and standard of football and would certainly not want to swap back to what you have.

Thankfully many of your fans will hopefully get the new, or finished grounds that their long suffering deserves and don't begrudge us ours.

sound pathetic ....as does relying on stewards to get them to shut up ....bit like calling for prefects @ school

ah "nightmare" up to no good ...mind you ,sounds like they took it to Hibs ! Jambos all day !

READING hooligans??

Does Sir jolly well want some? Well, does one wish to come and have a go?

I might actually get that as a tattoo ...thanks for posting

No offence but this is complete rubbish. Oxford are one of Reading's most bitter rivals historically.

Reading still sing about how they hate Oxford - even on Saturday the old and boring "we hate Oxford United" was wheeled out. Reading FC nearly ceased to exist in the 80's thanks to the (thankfully failed) merger of the two clubs.

Even now if you ever try to post a swear word on the Reading fan site hobnob it is automatically censored to oxf*rd.

I can't see that you've been supporting Oxford for long if you aren't aware of this history. It's been like Brighton/Palace in the past when Reading/Oxford were comparable teams.

 

[MICK PATCHAM]

F me, he's never going to grow up is he. 49 now and still at it. His kids must be so proud to have a dad who not only has been convicted multiple times for football hooliganism but who was also at one time the only British member of the KKK.

I would love it for his son to come out as gay and bring home a black boyfriend.

Im sure you would...this isnt a cottaging forum despite what you may have heard

I concur.

Although it is not really a surprise as Dreaming Spires or Spires Dreaming has spouted complete twaddle whenever he/she has sporadically shown their face.

Reading are an absolute non-entity in every respect. Put them in the same bracket as MK Dons, Wigan and Colchester. Clubs that the world could seriously do without, they bring absolutely nothing to the table. The fact they have individuals willing to put themselves up as lads is simply staggering.

Wigan are tidy mate

 

[LA1972]

Yep. Southampton 86 and Arsenal 88 anyone? And those were just games I was old (and lucky) enough to be in the North at the Goldstone for. I bet they were nothing on 1983.

Southampton 86 and Arsenal 88 were both amazing for me. I was a teenager in the Northstand for both and will never forget it.

 

[MICK PATCHAM]

Trust me, Bushy. I don't say that without a bit of frustration myself. I know a few older fans understand how the FA cup use to be, but unfortunately how football culture in some sense has developed over the past decade, it's to be expected.

I have to give credit to the SWC lot though, looks like in a season's time that corner could be rocking. But it's going to take a while and a change in legislation to get the atmospheres of yesteryear. Hopefully a review into safestanding will happen, chanting and creating an atmosphere from a seated position is a lot different from standing in the away end.

go on my son ! Im shifting from north to south permantly

His lordship was incognito yesterday, dressed as a 2nd hand car dealer. I believe he may have smuggled someone in, inside his coat and stood on their shoulders.
He was in good form and a great day was had by all.

Who is this you are referring to?

Thanks for putting the record straight here.
That Dreaming Spires or whatever he calls himself today sounds a complete fake.

Would Trunky like a bun?

 

[MICK PATCHAM]

Tan coat/jacket boy was just a poseur, about as scary as a rice pudding.

What was very funny was the chubby 20 year old in a tracksuit top from the cheap side of the eighties. Purple body, with pink stripes down the arms, teamed up with, wait for it, GINGER hair!

Nowt wrong with being a redhead, but just mentally picture the look........so wrong.

Purple pink AND orange an absolute faux pas

Gonna spend a while checking if a move could be good, yesterdays temporary one was the most fun at The Amex to date.
