Reading away (League Cup) match thread

[bigfooty]

Crouch beats the offside trap (yes, really) but his lack of sharpness lets Reading cover up. Torres would have scored there.

Pressure still on from us but Torres caught well offside.

Torres is everything we have missed since Owen and Fowler left

[mick the click]

Aurilio is playing like a dog with 2 dicks

Do you mean well? Or do you think he's somewhat distracted?

[Lee]

did you hear the commentator (assistant) say "I'm surprised no-one else went in for him"? What a twot.

I know - what a stupid thing to say, dickheads!!

Like when they asked Carra 'Why has no bigger club come in for you'. He's like; 'Who's bigger than Liverpool'


Torres - one doth's one cap to thine gental, sir

[Red Chilli]

Compare Crouch to Torres there.....

Exactly, Crocuh had a yard start on his defender and couldn't get his shot in. No pace and no strength.

Torres = pace, strength, intelligent running and great finisher

[Woobus]

Can see Bikey getting sent off soon.

[bigfooty]

Torres challenges Bikey, goes past him but just overuns the ball. Got a nudge from Bikey but Ref didn't give it, good shout for a penalty that.

Hhahahhaaaahhahaahhahah that ref is classic!!

[Reece]

blatant pen. Ref is a **** - didn't want to send Bokey off :whatever:

[kev776]

Ref is ****ing awful, Torres is being hammered

[Red Chilli]

How is that NOT a penalty?

Farcical refereeing It's pure comedy

[bigfooty]

Torres clattered into, Crouch retains the ball so no free-kick given but eventually Reading clear.

Our players are livid about the Ref not booking the player for the foul on Torres.

[Robster007]

****ing disgraceful

[kurtangle01]

This ref is ****ing shocking. That wa a stone wall penalty and Torres is getting no protection whatsoever.
