TBF, none of ITV's core audience know what reading is.

ITV highlights sponsored by Pot Noodle, ready and all over in less than 2minutes.

[10539.4 Miles Away]

Thats actually got to be a joke ITV. Really you're f*cking kidding me.

[RobRoyal]

Goals only, then cursory shots of post-game incidents and 15 seconds of BM.

ITV never fail to piss you off.

[Kitson12]

Awesome photo! May have to send that off to printers.

[WoodleyRoyal]

First one was dire, second one hilarious. I love the way on impact of the second one we almost get a forward belly flop as it trickles in. TAIBI!!!

Still they won in the end so we can ALOL about it

Just one small historical concern..

This is starting to remind me of the time when a Reading backroom boy made good..quietly spoken..popular ..

was made up to manager and took his team all the way to Wembley only to be relegated...

but the team was oxford so i didn't really mind then.

I'd take that Percy - any day of the week.

anyone able to put highlights on youtube

PLEEEEEAAAASSSSE

[Percy's Rocket]

I don't think I have ever seen stewards go on to the pitch to prevent players celebrating with their fans..unbelievable

and the fans were right by the pitch so it was not as though there were home fans in the way...

this shold have major repercussions for baggies with jobi re-instated (though 3 games off might give him a boost as it happens)

Could make a good debate thread...relegation in return for Wembley ??

Has Henry played for Millwall in the cup?......and what the hell is going on there?

No you idiot! If he did he wouldn't be on the bench.

Indeed - only ever played in the FA Cup for Reading - Cardiff (a) last year and now today.

Just checking...didn't want this to happen to us...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Omoyinmi
....can't really believe that we are in a q/final..

How much cash does ROYALS get from that cup victory? Can we buy Portsmouth for a training ground

[facaldaqui]

I was and remain convinced that an extended Cup run would prove a major positive on the primary front, and it hasn't done any harm yet (and yeah, could've done without the replay and all, and bookings are mounting up, but gift horses and all of that)

The cup run has been really valuable, because it has allowed McDermott to try his team out more often and get them up to speed. Also, Burnley had cup runs in both competitions last year and still went up, so it's not proved that the cup distracts from the league. In my opinion, the cup only distracts from the league when there's nothing much at stake in the league. Unfortunately, we were the victims of this when we got relegated, because Fulham went away to Portsmouth at a time when Portsmouth had the cup final coming up and nothing to play for in the league.
