@PhilC2030 @AndyRFCCharman @RFCLatest 💯 agree, you have seen this with Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth, all clubs with a similar if not smaller fanbase than us, definitely the model we need to emulate. 👍🏼

@AndyRFCCharman @B3rt1e @RFCLatest We don’t do that; there is no continuity from Selles to Hunt to Richardson. Very different people with different managerial philosophies. Someone higher up, a DOF, needs to be devising this and we need to be consistent with our appointments.

🙏 Crucial that #ReadingFC hit the ground running with transfers this year and then go on to have a strong positive pre-season. Last year we were slow to get bodies in and the pre-season was an absolute disaster. Get it right.

@AndyRFCCharman @RFCLatest First and foremost we need to be financially sensible, good recruitment shouldn’t cost the earth, we just need to be clever, the worry is maybe we don’t have the football knowledge in senior management to be able to do that…. We need a DoF like Bowen again! 🤷🏻‍♂️ #readingfc

@RFCLatest If we can’t/won’t compete financially with Peterborough then there’s FA chance of doing that. We’ll be left with the dregs and walking wounded once again. #readingfc.

@BoggleEyedBilly @whoisbennyc @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Yes, but it’s your northern shit hole! 🤣

@B3rt1e @whoisbennyc @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Old Trafford is a shit hole

Stockport goal should have stood, the goalscorer doesn’t even look at the defender and accidentally clips his heel. Not a clear and obvious error by the ref, and VAR gets it wrong again! And why use VAR in the finals, not used by @EFL all season! @FansAgainstVAR_ #stockport

@MarkHopgoo46439 @leamrico @catania_rick15 @ToddTrosclair @ReadingFC 💯 if we go into the season with last years squad, but I am sure we won’t, if the owners back Leam, he has no excuse not to finish top six. The recruitment needs to be right and early for us to have any chance, otherwise it’s going to be a long season! 🤷🏻‍♂️ #readingfc

@B3rt1e @leamrico @catania_rick15 @ToddTrosclair @ReadingFC Leicester Weds Luton Pox (I hate to say it) Huddersfield Plymouth Bradford Stockport MK Dons (big spenders) Mansfield (finished well) Wigan Honestly, think we’ll do well to finish top half. I am being negative, but seen no evidence to suggest otherwise.

Definitely a league we can attack, we need to get recruitment right and in early, we need a great pre-season, no excuses, top six minimum next season! #urzzzz #readingfc @leamrico @catania_rick15 @ToddTrosclair @ReadingFC

Congratulations to Notts County, welcome to League One! 👍🏼 #nottscounty @Official_NCFC

@martinjohnson81 🥳🥳🥳

@B3rt1e Too busy for fishing James, still celebrating 🥳

Lucky win for Bolton yesterday according to James here 👍 Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one, some stink of shit #bwfc

@whoisbennyc @TheGothhausen @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Why are so many Bolton fans so upset with my post it’s just my opinion, didn’t even tag Bolton in the original post….. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@B3rt1e @TheGothhausen @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ What’s it got to do with a Reading Fan anyway?

@ryan7507 @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Stockport deserved better from the officials yesterday, and had it been 2-1 to Stockport at halftime, might have been a very different result!

@Biggusdecimus @B3rt1e @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ I'm not so sure Sidibeh even clips your defender. Looks like he clips his own heels & I'm astounded VAR called the ref over after looking at it. That said, you were the better side on the day.

@Jackvbwfc5 @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ So the ref played on and let VAR make the decision? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Surely that isn’t how it should work? If the ref gives it 100% why not just make the decision in real time? Stockport wouldn’t have had a goal to celebrate and then not… It’s a mess!

@B3rt1e @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ The ref would have given a foul if no VAR 100%, agreed on the penalty though.

@martinjohnson81 You were lucky yesterday, just admit it…

@B3rt1e It’s not about impartiality it’s about understanding the laws of the game. The rules, the officials, and the var team all disagree with you.

Accidental fouls…..are still fouls. Thick as fucking mince 🤦‍♂️ #bwfc

@WilburnLegend @whoisbennyc @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ 🙄

@B3rt1e @whoisbennyc @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Is every club in the country supposed to keep their stadium empty to prepare for the possibility it might be needed as a neutral ground for L1 playoffs? That's the whole point of Wembley

@whoisbennyc @TheGothhausen @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ You would say that as a Bolton fan! 🙄

@TheGothhausen @B3rt1e @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ And there is so much riding on the game. Vital to get the right result. Excellent use of VAR yesterday

@whoisbennyc @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Fine, just seems a waste of money and fuel when there is a perfectly good stadium in Manchester! Don’t forget Bolton was only there a couple years ago and Stockport this season, so not as if it’s something special! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@B3rt1e @Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ I know plenty of Bolton fans that disagree and love going to Wembley whenever we get the chance.

@Biggusdecimus @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Bullshit, VAR shouldn’t be anywhere here the final, and in fact the final shouldn’t have been in Wembley, should have been at OT!

@B3rt1e @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Bullshit. Yes it was accidental, but that clip stopped the defender from doing his job,and therefore gave the advantage to the striker. 100% correct decision. And stop giving the "should've been played at "old knackered". Wembley is special, get a bigger fanbase more like.

@NigelXYYMan @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Maybe the rules are wrong, it’s an accident, why give someone an advantage for an accident, the rule is an ass!

@B3rt1e @EFL @FansAgainstVAR_ Accidentally clipping someone's heel is a free kick. Those are the rules
