I think Clan and RickB moderate all of the forums in the "more club forums" section.

Are the results and discussion going to take place as the game is played live, or is it going to take place during the delayed broadcast on FSC. I don't want to ruin the match if I watch over the internet, nor do I want it ruined for me if I decide to watch in FSC. I guess I don't know the ediquette on BigSoccer. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks!

Someone is sure to post while watching or listening to a live stream. Happens all the time. I'll send a PM to a mod to try to get an [R] in the header.

The story below is from an article by Jon Carter on ESPN Soccernet (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/index?&lpos=globalnav&lid=gn_Soccer_Soccer&cc=5901)
Seems pretty standard, mainstream media defaulting to the standard names (a bit surprised to see Bobby's name) and not a mention of Doyle, Sonko, or Seol. That's just fine w/ me... hope Middlesbrough and the rest of the Prem teams are as under-informed!

Reading's Steve Sidwell might have been too good for the Championship, but will he be good enough for the Premier League?
Premiership new-boys Reading will be looking to take their amazing Championship form into the new season. They boast excellent attacking options in the likes of Bobby Convey, Leroy Lita and Dave Kitson that combined for 105 goals last season, but their back line lacks pace that could be exploited by Stuart Downing on the left wing and Yakubu through the centre. Julio Arca will make his debut in the Boro defence, while new Reading signing Sam Sodje could be tasked with battling the physical challenge of Yakubu and Mark Viduka. Reading may spring a few surprises this season, but Southgate's Boro should have the edge in this contest.
Key Battle: Steven Sidwell vs Aiyegbeni Yakubu. Prediction: (1-2)

Reading's Premiership season begins in just over 5 minutes. A 4-3-3 today, Shorey, Ingimarsson, Sonko, and Murty in the back, Convey, Harper, and Sidwell in the midfield, and Doyle, Seol, and Kitson as forwards. Stack, Gunnarsson, Hunt, Oster, and Lita off the bench.

If any of you guys have TVAnts, there is a stream of the match on a channel called Ultra Lion Football.

And the song is sweet maria (or is amarillo?), just as it was on the team bus when the club vote went for 1,000 miles or whatever it's called (i like the other song more, but I've got goosebumps right now.

Apparently soccernet had a bit wrong on the lineup, Seol will be playing in midfield and not as a 3rd forward. I'd expected he would be.

Reading starts two players who started this summer in the cup, and seven internationals. But boro's talent is pretty scary...
Game on, we're in the prem, and will this be the day I have to change my sig line, or can we make good...

Reading on the attack, seol forces a good save off a free kick, tipped over. Nice pressure here for a second. Big difference is going to be the way the other team's come at us, i believe.

Seol! Almost, the keeper just gets a hand to it.
Now a corner..and they play it short.
