Feels a while since Reading have had what seems like such a cohesive side, and oh my, what a player Lisbie looks. Also, Rino was another level today. Class. #readingfc

These stadium upgrade promises from Couhig felt like a proper bait and switch today. The new “clean” seats were still tatty, the toilets unchanged, the concourse still filthy with broken signage, food and drink options still grim, and the “fan zone” outside? Worse than it’s ever been. #readingfc

I’ve never felt so Belgian in my whole life. I’m practically made of chocolate at this point. And/or beer that is stronger than is sensible.

Be dissatisfied, fine. Boo at half and full time if you really must, but anyone gleefully singing “sacked in the morning” at Hunt needs to have a long hard look at themselves. Absolute children. #readingfc

The way this Morecambe scenario is playing out really feels like how it would’ve gone for us if Couhig didn’t have Dai in a legal chokehold. Thoughts are with them. #readingfc

I have a feeling it’s gonna be a massive year for Charlie Savage. Really got into his groove last season and stepped up under Noel… now looking at a full, settled season under Noel, I reckon he’s gonna level up again. Bring on the Lincoln. #readingfc

Really don’t see Orient dropping points next week, so it’s probably best we just focus on winning 10-0 #readingfc

Is a new owner taking over just before a playoff final against Huddersfield again too far fetched? I mean, it went so well last time #readingfc

VG from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social but as others have said the historical analogy is wrong. Chamberlain wasn't a Nazi fellow-traveller. AfD supporter and far-right propagandist Goodwin is much closer to Oswald Mosley.

Kind of a messed up symmetry that Wycombe away last year was such a pivotal moment in establishing a new era of hope and togetherness, while this year it marks that togetherness starting to fracture #readingfc

In case we see more new #readingfc arrivals over the next couple of days, I'm bumping @waschbaren.bsky.social's Starter Pack to the top of the feed. It's a super helpful way to discover a bunch of other Ding fans who've made it over here so far in one hit. bsky.app/profile/wasc...

As there seems to be a few more of us now, I've just set up a couple of Reading FC feeds to make it easier to browse the tag. Hopefully they're useful! bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:... Ranking is based on "HN ranking". I don't really know what it is, so we'll find out #readingfc
