Reading

[Green Cross Code Man]

Nope, won't convince me it was any different, and I was dancing about like an idiot on the pitch that day, just like them Reading lot before Ulloa scored at Forest.

Not any difference?

Margins between reading being in the playoffs and not was 1 goal, margin between us this season after the wigan game was 30+ goals, quite obvious to see the difference.

This!

Yeah, I was really taken aback when Tony, Chris and the players all celebrated automatic promotion with the supporters when it so similar to the Reading scenario...

You still don't celebrate until you're over the margin, and we weren't. I don't remember a pitch invasion in 1979.

Changed for you

Cheer up

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Cheer up

Good here thanks mate, I like winding up the natives

Keep digging, you're doing a fine job

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Keep digging, you're doing a fine job

I'm touched, obviously

 

[Tarpon]

I'm touched, obviously

Few would disagree with that statement.

Chill out mate, it may never happen

Maybe try showing it occasionally then eh sugarlips.

For almost a third of the past decade they've been in the Premier League

Reading may have lost countless play-off finals, and be labelled by some on here as tin pot, and bottle jobs, but what you say is absolutely true. Reading have competed in the Premier League several times in recent years.

How many times have we been able to do that? oh hang on . . .

Losing in the final has got to be bad. Losing in the final after being 3 -2 up in the penalty shoot out, ouch, that has got to hurt.

Being 2 0 v Bolton in the 95 Final and missing a Penalty to make it 3 0 and then going on to lose is even funnier.

I like sugarlips, will you be my lover?

I don't remember a pitch invasion in 1979.

How come?

As soon as the opportunity presented itself, we were all over the pitch at St James' Park.

 

[Braggfan]

I couldn't see on the videos posted, but in one of those videos of "that" pitch invasion, there is one Reading lad doing one arm push ups on the pitch. To my mind that makes a hilarious situation even funnier. Please don't ask me to find it as I have looked and can't find it. I remember it clearly though as it spontaneously made me laugh every time I thought about it for a year.

Talking to my Wealdstone FC mate today, it transpires that Reading were even beaten by Huddersfield to arranging for fans to go drinking at the WFC bar prior to the playoff final.

Losing in the final has got to be bad. Losing in the final after being 3 - 1 up in the penalty shoot out, ouch, that has got to hurt.

Fixed.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Fixed.

Have you turned mod!?

 

[Triggaaar]

Have you turned mod!?

No idea what that means. I do, however, note that I am somewhat late to the '3 - 1' party.
