Definitely worth a read. Dai Yongge killed Reading Women’s team. An injustice I hope, the doubt, will be addressed by the new owners. I really hope we see a packed Goodison at WSL games next season.

The outcome of today’s court case gives us confidence that there are no legal blockages to a sale, as far as we know. As a matter of urgency, I will be speaking to the EFL, fan groups and key stakeholders to move the situation forward. (2/3)

Sign the petition here: bit.ly/rfc-petition SBWD, STAR and @Yuanfengyang, have launched a petition calling for a Parliamentary Inquiry into Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li, who must be held to account. Please go online and sign the petition (and ask others to do the same!).

Sent to Twitter jail for suggesting that someone who was moaning about paper straws drink straight from the glass! Apparently that was violent speech! 🤣🤣

Dai out.sell up & f**k right off #readingfc

The journalists' job (very seldom discharged) is to hold power to account, *regardless of the nature of that power*. But when I criticise the failings of this government, I get widely told to leave it alone for fear of letting in the Tories/Reform. Sorry. Accountability is the essence of democracy.

Dai Yongge - claims he can’t afford to fund the football club that he bought & has driven to the brink of extinction but is more than happy to fritter money away on expensive litigation! #readingfc

Swasticars is cracking me up

Oh. www.cityam.com/brexit-has-l...

I hope Nigel Howe is being paid based on results. The way things are going he will end up paying us! #readingfc

Great, they listen to Millionaires. How about listening to this, a simple way to grow the economy without building runways which help destroy the planet is closer ties with our major trading partners in Europe. Oh wait, Reform voters won’t like that.

We may as well just have voted the Tories back in. No wealth tax, water down restrictions for non-doms, targeting welfare rather than tax avoidance. Same old story…

On the far side of the pond hundreds of violent insurrectionists have been pardoned & released from jail. Meanwhile, on this side of the pond peaceful, albeit possibly disruptive, protestors remain in prison thanks to draconian Tory anti-protest laws which Keir Starmer & his Govt seem happy to keep!

Today Labour tramped hobnailed boots all over the environment. Between this, and the plan to allow developers to kick money into a pot rather than meet environmental conditions, it's been an abysmal day. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The looks you make when you're called out by a Bishop in church at the National Prayer Service for essentially being fake Christians. Bravo, Bishop Budde!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

#Trump’s withdrawal from @who.int was widely anticipated & criticised for damage it will cause. It serves as a wake-up call for the importance of multilateralism in the face of American unilateralism. In our @bmj.com piece, we outline actions to address the crisis www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth. There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions. We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing. One might even call it "Fake history".

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

It’s wild to see a Jewish person go “everything Hitler did and believed in was correct, he just targeted the wrong race” Yes, if you have the wrong DNA you ARE evil and genocide is the only reasonable response. It’s just science.

Stockport the better team, #Readingfc really poor. I think the worst I've seen all season. Absolutely no issue losing, however: Stockport's behaviour was hard to tolerate. The constant shirt pulling and fouls. The physio refusing to walk off the short way. ...

Even BBCNews mentions that the Prime Minister is not attending the inauguration of the new US President. Fact is though that NO UK PM HAS EVER ATTENDED this event. Not Margaret Thatcher, not Tony Blair, not any of them. This strikes me as an important detail. pa.media/blogs/fact-c...

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

The shots on target and foul counts tell a pretty good story of the nature of the game IMO. #readingfc

IMO completely the wrong tactics to adopt v a very big physical Stockport team who were allowed to push gamesmanship & the laws of the game to the limits & beyond by some typically poor L1 officials. Needed to beat them with neat quick passing not hoof ball forwards. #readingfc

Stockport fans singing ‘Is there a fire drill?’ when every Reading fan is asking ‘Is there a fire sale?’ #readingfc

Is there a 5 year old at the Mad Stad who'd like to have a go with the flag? They'd surely be better than the twat running the line on the east stand #readingfc

The @EFL penalty award embargo on Reading is very clearly still in place. A defender could knock one of our players out in the area & then catch the ball and the refs would still wave play on. #readingfc

More great pre-match entertainment in the SCL/STAR fanzone courtesy of @purpleturtlerdg.bsky.social Being from the Netherlands, it seems that Sonic Whip couldn’t resist weaving in a little homage to Focus. #readingfc

You can quickly recoup your @star-rfctrust.bsky.social membership fee with 10% off food and drink for STAR members at Holiday Inn Reading South (Basingstoke Rd). NB. it’s a fairly new offer so not all staff may be aware of it but manager will confirm. #readingfc

I had totally missed this. The effect is going to be hugely, hugely damaging to civil society. Can't but think this is exactly what the government wants. Was going to add a members forum to our Carbon reduction website so practitioners could exchange ideas. Not any more.

Can we send her a cease and desist letter, for reputational damage, on behalf of the country?

Dellor doesn't get any better does he! Whinging that the ref didn't allow us to carry on playing for long enough to get a third goal when well-placed to score!🙄 At least Ady put him straight on that - 'Hang on, you can't just carry on playing for ever like we did round the garages!' #readingfc

Personally I’m inclined to believe Couhig. It seems logical, stacks up with what we saw & is typical of the Dai we know & hate. Can’t blame RC for playing hardball & trying to recover costs having spent loads of time & money acting in good faith to buy the club, only for Dai to pull plug. #readingfc

The Jewish Chronicle saga of its fake reporter just gets worse and worse. The story is now at the centre of an investigation over a leak to manipulate public opinion
