Reading vs Charlton - 11/18/06 - Pre/During/Post Match [r]

I thought this was a soccer-site. Why would they go down on match-day for so many leagues? My theory is that the people who do the maintenance have other jobs and had to get it done on the weekend.
apparently the site is a lot less busy at weekends.

Of course the NSR boards have well over 2 million posts on them and account for a fair amount of traffic. If people there are at home/out rather than killing time at work, it may make a difference. It's also ceased to be match day in the US now I believe.

Video of the game anyone???

Your not suggesting that people are spending time at BS while they should be working, are you?

As for things we learned in this match, Hunt, whose endeavor is, mostly, not rewarded against top teams can make a n impact against the lower teams.
I'd think right now the position is his to lose, and that Convey will struggle to find his way back into the starting lineup. Coming back from injury, he probably expected that. And he could be a real asset as a 70 minute sub in some matches.

Team of the Week
Reading's 2-0 victory over Charlton owed much to Stephen Hunt's industriousness

I'm a Convey fan and hope to see him fit and back on the field soon. I'm sorry not to have been able to see what must have been a marvelous outing for Hunt. Nice that he merits some positive recognition, given the many less complimentary things that have been said about him this season.

Our only player who had played real "bigtime" club football up until this season was Seol, who was with Anderlecht when they went to the Champions League. Actually, he may not have played for them in it at all. I'm not sure.

Anyway, the theory does look right to me. Although I hope clubs keep on bringing in below average-mediocre experienced players, so Reading can keep getting the Kevin Doyles of the world.
he played actually his header is what qualified them to uefa champions league once beating the other team 3-2. i forgot which team.

Cool. Thanks for the info on that.

more importantly, Seol has years of World Cup experience. He's the one that scored the equalizer against Italy in 2002... they ended up beating Italy with a golden goal... if anyone's interested :)
