Personally, as a former reporter, I think there’s a considerable difference between reporting about a club with scrutiny and dilligence, and using a clubs current difficulty to make yourself known by continually regurgitating your own self-produced drama. But what do I know…

Reading FC in NYC.

Up the ding.

Pereira to blame for that goal, but to sit back AGAIN and try and hold on, rather than not pressing for another, is so frustrating. Time and time again.

@lines_aviation Hmm, fair point I suppose

@MattJoy96 Would potentially end up being used more as a timeout than for Var decisions and would add to the argument that football is moving more towards the broadcast audience rather than fans in the grounds (you're adding 4 ad breaks per game for broadcasters effectively)

Surely the best solution for VAR is to give teams two appeals a game. Keep the appeal if it’s upheld, lose it if not. Takes the responsibility off the referees and onto the teams/managers, works in other sports and reduces continual, pointless debate week in week out.

Unless I’m being a massive idiot, I don’t really see any downsides to this.

Cracking defending, that. Get close to your man.

Go on then, anyone in the know… decent?

Desperate for a cuppa and to catch up on The Traitors. Hurry up @ReadingFC.

🔔🔔🔔 Ahead of their debut studio album, European tour - and special signing session at the SCL on Saturday... Take it away, @onlythepoetsuk

Brilliant signing for the level. Love this. #readingfc

Up the Ding. Up the Wing.

@ReadingFC You’re doing well at lowering the bar each week chaps

Defeat in Yorkshire #readingfc

When will football become enjoyable again? I don’t know if it was due to me being a lot younger, but I miss the days of 10-15 years ago, even with the Premier League season aside, when it just seemed like we had a sembelance of cohesion and competence as a club. #readingc

KEEEMON

Desperately need to keep hold of the ball for a bit. Causing the pressure ourselves at this point.

@mulletrider You could be watching the game on the best WiFi imaginable and he’d still look like he’s lagging as he ran

@MattJoy96 Such good positions and then it looks like his feet are on the wrong way round

Cannot name a single thing that Kelvin E is good at. Horrendous.

Take that any day of the week. Normally dislike the pining for any old players to make a return, but this one isn’t just driven by nostalgia and seems to make perfect sense. Love it. #readingfc
