Jase 43,479 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Finding it funny how Torres's offside yesterday has caused so much furore but yet nothing has been said about Tevez's offside goal against Southampton last Sunday. Also, the media said we got lucky with Cahill's goal after a blunder by Adam Federici but yet no one said Reading were lucky with their second.

HRiver 1,512 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 From Reading's official Facebook page, I didn't know they were this bitterIs this guy implying that it should've been 0-2?Tbh, apart from 20 minutes or so we were all over them, and even though they put in a good performance we still deserved the three points.

Talk about being bitter! Someone needs to remind them they also scored a 2nd 'fluke' goal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 But we scored another...so even if the offside goal didnt count and we still scored at the end still would've been a 3-2 win...no point getting bitter and every team is gana get crap decisons this season..we'll probably get one soon.Way it goes with the standard of refs/linesmen.Things annoylingy dont always be judged correctly'Fluke goal with no keeper'...error lies with him!Not really a fluke,he took the risk and didnt pay off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably just hold on to what they have and might escape with a draw in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The only thing they can complain about is the offside goal (that fan talking about penalty and fluke goal is just being an idiot) and it's fair enough really, we would have done the same if it was the other way around.But it's not our fault, it's the linesman that let it stand, so blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My word it was good.I think Cole's celebration afterwards was the best part. You can see just how much of a pure competitor he is haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 considering the amount of decisions that go against us we are owed a few... but we can all do the if, but, then x y z would have happenned... If it was ruled offside we would have gone at it even harder to get the winning goal and would have had more chances.... If rambo had passed the ball early on torres should have scored and we would have been further ahead. If cech didn't spill it... etc We were the best team on the night and deserved the win...

Apart from the last 20-25 minutes in the first half, Reading didn't trouble us too much. They didn't threaten at all in the second till we went 3-2 up. We looked the more threatening and attacking of the two sides. But the English media love the romance of smaller teams upsetting the big boys and those who puts in the commitment, passion, work ethic etc...
