Kanj Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 One thing I love is that you only see our fans in our home matches on TV and when the opposition scored, you'd hear them high above and the away players would have to look up. Keep it that way imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Why the fuck are they bringing that in? Been a few rule changes lately where the reason for it isn't exactly very clear. As an away fan I'd rather be behind the goal personally, but it should just be up to the clubs like it always has been.  Probably to stop bellend football clubs shoving away fans into godawful seats in the heavens. Like we did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Aye, decent from an away match POV. As long as the cunts don't get put anywhere near the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/impressive-jaap-stam-passes-first-11724740 Are you Geordies sure? A most amusing aspect of the pre-season banter was the blinkered blathering from the fans of Newcastle United. “We’ll soon be back where we belong,” they echoed, so confident of a swift return to the promised land of the Premier League. Even given the fanatical loyalty of the Geordie hordes, I still find that a strange viewpoint. Look at the EFL pyramid and the facts don’t lie. Newcastle now “belong” in the Championship, having surrendered their elite status due to a dismal campaign last time around. Delusions of grandeur are two a penny in England’s second tier. Just glance at those who are still living on past glories as they struggle to regain their “rightful place” among the PL big boys. A small sample - Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Derby County, Leeds United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Many other lesser lights can be added to that list. Even if their stay in the top flight may have been brief, they also still feel a sense of belonging among England’s crème de la crème. Reality checks arrive every week in the Championship. Fulham 1, Newcastle 0 at Craven Cottage last Friday immediately springs to mind. “It’s a wake-up call,” Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez conceded. For him, his players … and their perennially deluded fans.  What a fucking flid  All I got from that is Reading supporters realise they are now irrelevant and so believe we should be too.

SEMTEX Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 My biggest issue with Reading is that whenever I'm reading Reading I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be reading it like Reading or reading. Reading Reading shouldn't be that difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines I'm guessing he's having as much difficulty reading Reading as much as you find reading Reading as Reading or reading.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The only interesting thing about Reading is that they enunciate their chants. "Who are you!? Who are you!?" "You are not singing any more" etc. There their points of interest end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sky are a bunch of clowns, if they just featured us more they'd get better ratings and more viewership  Nothing personal, Kanj, but I hate this attitude. It's why ESPN loves the Yankees and Red Sox, why we had a Big Four, why Barca and Real rake in spectacular TV deals etc etc. I'd much rather have the money spread out, and see each team shown an equal amount of times, even if it means having to endure Stoke v West Brom every once in a while. Sure, if they just featured Newcastle more, or had Man U on every week in the Premier League, then they'd get better ratings and more viewership. If you want that, then fine. Just don't complain when Man U then have an absolute shitpile of money, and spunk 100M a time on players. I hope that Sky have a similar deal to the old Premiership one, where every team gets shown a reasonable amount of times.
