Rotherham United 1-1 Reading: A Complete Waste Of Time

I’ll be completely honest with you, I really don’t know where to start with writing anything interesting on this game, an Absolute Nothing of a 90 minutes at Rotherham United, so this is going to be a bit of a rant. The best thing about the match, truth be told, is that the time added onto both halves wasn’t that extensive (one in the first, three in the second), so I was able to get away that bit quicker. If I’m really grasping at straws, at least we didn’t lose.

What a thing to say for a match against an already-relegated team . Sam Nombe’s first-half opener threatened defeat, but Daniel Kyerewaa popped up soon after the break to ensure we stopped our losing run. Otherwise?

The weather was nice and the inflatables in the away end before the game were top-notch. Oh and Oxford United got relegated, let’s not forget that. Just on the travelling support: apparently around 900 fans made the trip up to South Yorkshire for this game, all of whom made an excellent atmosphere before kick-off and had some great Inflatables Day fun.

This team doesn’t deserve such excellent away backing. Back to the game itself and, of course, this was a dead rubber of a fixture for both teams. And no, Reading weren’t suddenly going to turn into an excellent attacking outfit simply because we were playing an already-relegated side.
