samjaidee Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Why such a scathing headline? As football songs go it's really not that bad and considerably better than many I've heard. I'd like to see any TV member do any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quandow Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I watched the first 1:40 or so, the only thing I found objectionable was pronouncing "Reading" as "redding." Just one more case of hubris. If they had asked ANY native speaker, the speaker would have pointed that out to them. Hubris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa82 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I liked it a lot....can easily see that catching on with the crowd and being sung on the terraces.

SPB65 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'd love to hear Roy Keane's comments if he ever saw the vid. Basically this is what happens when wealthy foreign investors take over football clubs as personal vanity projects. It's so disconnected from the real fans it's laughable, however the Thai owners wouldn't even understand that. Come on you Royals ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 How come Thai's can own football clubs in the UK but we cant even own our own business? We should impose the same rules on them as we get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsShot Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Absolute garbage. I'd be seriously embarrassed about that if God forbid I was a Reading fan.

ThaiPauly Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Actually we have adopted Sweet Caroline as our song.
