Reading @ Watford - 12/9/06 - Pre/During/Post Match [R]

[Pablo Chicago]

Thought Reading was going to get their goal differential back in the black after the first half of the Newcastle match. Pity.

Thought Reading was well on their way to their 2nd draw of the season until the 83 minute. Who would have thought that Reading would be this far into the season with 1 draw (against Manu)?

Any word on whether Hunt will be fit for tomorrow's match?

[prvev]

I don't know about Hunt..it will probably be a late decision. Apparently Seol has a problem with his toe which will need to be tested. Too many damn injuries. I expect a tie, due to fatigue and injuries and it being away.

The game is supposedly going to be on a channel on the "Afreeca" program, which I've used once before. You can probably learn another language in the time it takes to get it to work. But, of course, I'll try.

I think your problem has to do with the fact that foreigners have to pay a fee to use the program.

Yea, I know. I got around it last time I tried to use it, but its a pain.

im not 100% sure, but its probably the case that anyone who wants to use afreeca from abroad has to pay a monthly membership fee (not that expensive especially if you use it often enough and your computer and internet connection is high quality enough to enjoy afreeca uninterupted at high definition (people broadcast at different definitions and stream rate, so you can pick and choose)

a korean abroad cant use afreeca for free, but a foreigner in Korea can use it for free. it was free for everyone before but they couldnt cope with the bandwidth being taken up when it was gloabal free access. i mean even Big Soccer gives you the "busy signal" from time to time and its only a forum!

Bikey for Murty..don't do anything stupid. Lita for Seol.

Afreeca is a no go. I don't think the game is even on it. I got the United-City game to work for a few seconds at a time, but the buffering made it unwatchable.

London Irish apparently need a miracle to go through in the Heineken Cup, according to the radio breakthrough. Good luck to them, I suppose. They play Ulster. I don't know why I'm typing this. Ten minutes 'til the game.

[Katsbox]

Maybe for your pre-game warm up?

I think it will keep working during the match.

[prvev]

Stupid computer restarted...I think I bumped something. Anyway, game has started.

[prvev]

Young tries a shot..can't get it on target.

[prvev]

"Scrappy" opening 6 minutes...Watford seem to be having more of the ball.

Reading corner, Oster took, Ivar couldn't direct it.

...
Wow. The injury bug has hit.

[prvev]

Free kick in a good position after Bangoura fouls Sidwell...Hunt plays it in, Demerit heads it out. Nothing comes of it.

[prvev]

Wow. The injury bug has hit.

Indeed. I'm glad its against Watford so its more doable, but its a good time to play Reading, as well.

[prvev]

Reading throw deep in their own half, Sonko kicks the crap out of it after getting it from Bikey.

[prvev]

Reading are apparently rushing a bit unnecessarily so far.

[prvev]

Sidwell tries to play it in, Demerit heads it back to the keeper.
