Well I figured while I was waiting for the EHL to start, I might as well start a thread for all your discussion needs for Todays games.

So what game is everyone most looking forward too tonight (it's nearly 10:30 in Aus as I right)

[Craggsy]

Reading game about to start, they should win, will be interesting though.

[JiMMM]

Reading losing wouldn't be the biggest boil over we've seen

[Crocked82]

Can't watch the livestream at work. Bugger.

1 - 0 to CA Montrouge

[Crocked82]

Oooh 2-1 READING.

[JiMMM]

2 very good PC conversions to reading

The video Refs - what an absolute farce!

The umpire has asked the video ref to look at a French foot way before the passage of play he is actually checking - sort it out!

Its a joke!

[Goalie64]

What's a boil over?

2PC goals from Mantell put Reading up.

Started watching part way through and totally forgot they have 4 quarters - thinking there were only a few minutes left in the 2nd half, and about to celebrate the Reading win. Oops.

Good news is that I've still got half the game to watch.

[Goalie64]

Mani - agreed - there needs to be better communication to ensure the correct bit of evidence is looked at.

Guess something to that effect might appear on your blog.

At least no harm done, and the PS puts Reading 3:1 up

And poor defending means now 3 :2

[Goalie64]

Sorry - did I say 3 : 2 - now 4:2 Reading

[JiMMM]

Have to say I think this reading team is looking very impressive, montrouge have controlled the play, and reading have taken the 4 genuine chances that they have had to put themselves in front. Although they are still playing to long ball for my liking

[Crocked82]

Christ, sounds like i'm missing a right game. Hopefully the games this evening will be decent too!

[Goalie64]

Reading seem to have had a few issues stopping the ball cleanly - quite a lot of bobbling up.
Wonder if the pitch is bouncier that ones they are used to?

[mani]

Close one!
Si Mantell not looking too sharp.
Warren D'Souza should have finished the game - and sometimes its that difference in application that lets Reading down.

But a good start - bring on Sunday!
