At least a couple of them were taking notice just before billy scored the 3rd.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Interestingly it appears that most of those comments are from people who obviously didn't even go or watch the game!!!

Cheers Roy

 

[Caseh]

I have no idea what it is that we've supposedly done

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Excellent stuff from (some of) them. If there was a top 6 of team's fans you'd want to feel hard done by & pissed off after they'd just lost to us then they'd be in it.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

So did we cheat or not? I'm confused!

 

[The Crab]

Gamesmanship? Fuck off, they guy had got up hadn't he?

Cheers Roy

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Incidentally, I loved our mocking “Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!” chants from our fans, whenever our players won free-kicks or throw-ins.

 

[Worksop II]

No, their player was up on his feet as the ball went out of play.

Maybe they should stay awake during the game

 

[originaltrueblade]

No we didn’t cheat their player was up. I see they mentioned Blackman saved the pen. Don’t know how they could get Blackman and Moore mixed up.
Idiot plastic fan comments. Thanks again Roy

They live in Reading, to be fair there's not much to stay awake for

Cheers Roy. A few bitter comments.

"Spawn of Warnock"

 

[SwissBlade]

There was nothing wrong with the third. They kicked the ball out for their injured player, we are no longer expected to give the ball back, the so called etiquette changed a few seasons ago and unless the referee requests it, you don't have to give the ball back anymore.

The ref's tend to request teams to give the ball back if they have kicked it out for the oppositions player.

In addition, you don't have to kick the ball out anymore as it is down to the ref to stop play, not the players.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Quite extreme polar opposite comments, from the ones saying we are a disgrace to the ones (sensibly) blaming their own stupidity.

 

[SwissBlade]

As for Billy Sharp not celebrating against a former club, he'd never celebrate again if he didn't celebrate against a former club.

The only club i don't expect him to celebrate against is Donny.

 

[blade too long]

I have no idea what it is that we've supposedly done

“that was all on our stupidity, Sheff Utd did absolutely nothing wrong.”

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

“Wouldn’t expect anything else from the spawn of Warnock. They’d be crying for a replay if the ball was on the other foot”

Maybe, but what would we have done if the boot had been on the other foot? Numpty.

 

[Tray]

Well done Roy, you managed to get a view from every Reading fan in the stadium last night!

They’re a fun bunch.

 

[Doddyontheball]

Some of the comments were extremely fair but still amused by references to Warnock. Another Southern club given lots of dosh at one time and amazed to see that just like the pigs they are scrambling for survival after being in the top 6 last season. Clearly the deluded ones are clinging to spurious claims but the reality is they were outplayed, out manoeuvred and out classed

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Excellent stuff from (some of) them. If there was a top 6 of team's fans you'd want to feel hard done by & pissed off after they'd just lost to us then they'd be in it.

Yep. My top 5 is pretty steady these days, season in season out.

1. Need I say ?
2. Leeds
3. Cockney twats with free stadium
4. MK Donkeys
5. Reading.

6. tends to be a wild card based on current “form” (in the Ray Winstone sense), and this year is taken by Norwich.

Plenty other candidates are available.

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Well that would be most of them then.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

“been victim to the worst bit of sportsmanship ever.Hound is exactly right.United just did to us what Kanu did to them all those years ago – and that resulted in a game being replayed. Disgusting and I cannot believe the lack of uproar by Reading commentators on social media and on here.”

Here's the reason why from one of your own pal:

“that was all on our stupidity, Sheff Utd did absolutely nothing wrong.”

 

[Worksop II]

and this year is taken by Norwich.

I don't know whether you noticed last weekend, Farke got sent to the stands for kicking the ball away

after what happened at our place, made me laugh

 

[Houso]

I'm fairly certain our reaction to our third would have been similar to theirs, perhaps a little less vociferous as we've experienced that type of goal to a much more brutal degree.

*shrug*

I can see both sides, but certainly fall more on the side that they reaped what they sewed with their gamesmanship throughout the match. I maintain, the ref was wank and didn't help matters either.

 

[Torrix1889]

As for Billy Sharp not celebrating against a former club, he'd never celebrate again if he didn't celebrate against a former club.

The only club i don't expect him to celebrate against is Donny.

Really? Pathetic....he played 10 games for them on loan....he's hardly a club legend!

 

[Ricky]

We've now won the last 4 league games at Reading. Which is satisfying after that little rivalry we developed with them years ago.

They need to sack Stam. They were a shambles. Only Liam Kelly in midfield can come out with any credit. What an utter fat waste of space Chris Martin has become.

The appalling crowd was a reflection of what they'd average if they were in L1, where I'd quite like to see them. Not quite as much as I'd like to see Hull and Birmingham down there though...

 

[Newbury Blade]

Incidentally, I loved our mocking “Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!” chants from our fans, whenever our players won free-kicks or throw-ins.

Blades fans were fantastic all game. From my vantage point in a sparsely populated, eerily silent home stand, I was very proud of our support:

 

[Houston_Blade]

“Wouldn’t expect anything else from the spawn of Warnock. They’d be crying for a replay if the ball was on the other foot”

Have the last 10 years been a vivid dream?!

 

[Bristol Blade]

A few of those comments mention the ‘etiquette’ of returning the ball after the opposition knocks it out for a throw in. What happened to the etiquette of not diving to win penalties? Surprisingly none of them seem to care about that.
