I’ve heard that tale before Tony. Are you able to say if he operates as a pundit these days? It has always seemed strange to me that you see Manure supporters in every corner of the globe, but I can’t think of any referee who has declared an allegiance to them, thus preventing them refereeing at OT

You are correct Jack. However he doesn't look back in anger 😁😁😁.

Good signing or pretty desperate?

I can't decide.

Been doing well for Reading to be fair and can be a handful.

Their recent signing Dyke out for 8 weeks

Me neither. On the one hand he's capable of banging them in at this level if he's remotely fit. On the other, the whole point of Ismael's style of play (supposedly) is a really aggressive press, which you'd assume is well beyond Carroll at this stage in his career. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Carroll?...been passed around more times than a Bong at a Hippy convention.

Very good player at this level if he’s fit and motivated.

2 horrendous decisions in the Huddersfield V Stoke game. It seems inevitable that VAR needs to come in.

[BRFC4EVA]

Lad who scored for huddersfield should have been sent off. Frustrating again with decisions I'd have fancied stoke to come away with something against 10 men. Huddersfield are in form now and another threat with qpr, forest, boro and wba

You introduce VAR into the Championship with the standard of referees/assistants  that it has now and games wouldn't finish  until midnight . Be a VAR every five minutes..

Standard of referees/assistants has to improve first ..then VAR.

The referee I hear you ask? Gavin Ward. Enough said. That chump needs sending to non league football.

watching tonights game i am surprised the EFL have not been done for loitering out side spec-saves  when they are recruiting referees god they are awful. 

[G Somerset Rover]

1-1. Hudds are nowt special.

[BRFC4EVA]

Ended 1 a piece. Good result for us that keeps both at arms length

[USABlue]

Good result, don't know what happened to Hudds after the break.  Bloody hell Stoke have some players at their disposal.  Allen off the bench, thought they might be doing better than they are.

[Fraserkirky]

Great result, first time I’ve ever cheered a stoke goal. 
O’Brien for Huds must be the best midfielder in the league, cracking pair of lugs on him too. 
 

[RevidgeBlue]

Another great result tonight, everyone apart from Fulham seems to be falling over themselves to hand it to us on a plate.

Come on Rovers. 12 wins as quickly as possible!

[superniko]

Will Gavin Ward ever face repercussions for his awful decisions? Hope he doesn’t get any more of our game this season.

Anyway….for those who like an emotional hedge (please bet responsibly etc.) - best price elsewhere about 9/4 

 

[Atko's Engine]

For those that haven't seen it, here's a still off the BBC website. THB is a very lucky boy, Koroma will surely receive a retrospective ban as Gavin Ward didn't even give a free kick.

[G Somerset Rover]

Worst part of it is Gavin Ward had THE best view of the challenge. And still gave nada.

God awful official.

[K-Hod]

‘Gavin Ward didn’t give a free kick’.

Probably the least surprising thing you’re ever likely to read.

[G Somerset Rover]

Reading are diabolical. QPR 2-0 so will surely get the 3 points today.

[G Somerset Rover]

Bad day immediately around us with QPR and Bournemouth winning.

Ismael will surely get the pot at WBA. Unfortunately.

True.

 

Flipside of that is that there's no chance that we'll have another weekend like this with such easy games for all of our rivals, and at least we got it out of the way whilst picking up a very decent away point under the circumstances. We're still second, just need to get our troops back!

[oozy]

Blackpool giving Fulham a run for their money.
