HorsforthRam Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Of course we had a huge helping hand from the ref. The positives… great performance first half, passing quickly to white shirts, a pattern of play, some decent chances, the result. Negatives… should have done better against 10 men, felt the pressure got to us and tried to rush the third goal. Overall, it’s the points that matter now COYR!

Sparkle Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Much needed three points Gayle the difference -yes it looked like handball on the penalty 😉 not sure how we gave a free header away for their goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Wonder if loads of Reading fans are spouting nonsense about how the EFL have told Refs to give decisions against them because THAT IS FOOTBALL IS RUN! Bet Sky hate them too. Henrycav81 and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKANorwichExile Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Adams is the real deal, Gayle is pure class and the 3-4-3 formation finally seems to be making sense (especially to Sibs who looks like a new player). The ref was having a great game until he suddenly wasn't, but it's about time we got some decisions going our way. Just 8 more cup finals to go, but we're hitting our stride at just the right time. I reckon we'll do it. Mimester, Crewton, Comrade 86 and 7 others 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the 3-1 defeat at Plastic Park the season we only just avoided relegation under Rooney so Reading can FRO with any complaints.

CBRammette Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 On balance we deserved those decisions. Lots of fouls unpunished also - they were dirty- and what about dissent supposed to be a booking. None given. They could have been down to 10 or 9. How many shocking decisions have we had against us this season? kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Caerphilly Ram, Comrade 86 and 9 others 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archied Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Well a bizzare game for a seasoned derby fan , we played well and controlled the game but strangely made hard work of getting the 3 points and a poor ref again but poor decisions went in our favour ,,, yep strange night 🤷🏻♂️, three points and we are starting to look like a side , real variety of play going forward , players coming back from injury to give us a strong looking squad , win every game of the 8 and no one can touch us , it’s that simple , big ask but this squad look capable of doing that , of course that’s probably not how the next 8 games pan out but we are right in there looking every bit as good as those around us , we are not the poor imitation of our promotion rivals as some would have us believe come on derby💪💪💪💪💪 AbuDerbyDave, norwichram, Nishfan and 3 others 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Fully deserved win and pretty comfortable except for one ball into the final third we allowed to drop. No controversy in the win for me. Reading played into the ref’s hands with so many cynical and brainless fouls. On another day, they would have had a man sent off in the first half. The keeper also charged out needlessly, giving the referee a decision to make. Adams was imperious, but Gayle was the difference. His intelligent runs and movement and clever touches scared the life out of Reading’s defence. He also took his goal very nicely. If we can keep him fit for the next eight games, we have a very real chance of promotion.

Both yellows for their defender were ridiculous. One for handball when it hit him from two hards away, the second Hourihane dived. Gayle also handled the ball for the penalty. Gayle’s opening goal looked offside too. But apart from all that? SKRam, jono, I know nothing and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 How come there was only 5 minutes extra in the first half as the players left the pitch on four occasions to have a pedicure or something similar which added up to over ten minutes on their own Jortat and archram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I'll consider these decisions an exercise in 'levelling out' given some of the dross we've been sent in terms of refs. Three points in the bag. That's all that matters. Edited March 12 by JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Crewton and Andicis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) The officials are crap down here so I'll thank this one, 1st goal was offside from the freekick...take either Bradley or Gayle as both were offside, Penalty looked to be handball by Gayle but the angle wasn't 100% As seen on Sky TV, Who gives a sh!t on how we win we've been fcucked over a good few times by p!ss poor officials this season😡 Move onto the next game ☺️ Edit Handball by Gayle 😊 Edited March 12 by Ram-Alf Grumpy Git 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Three shocking decisions by the referee; the two yellows making the red and Dwight's handball for the penalty. Derby's football was good in the first half, less so in the second. We'll take it 🐏 Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
