Will you sing the Parky song on Monday?

So will the 12 Parkinsons of Christmas be sung on Monday, and will you join in?
For me the answer is "No", because - although he was a great player for Reading - we need to put all our energy into backing our own team.

I don't see 1 chorus of this at the beginning/warmup stage doing any harm, as long as for the game proper we're focussing on the current incumbants of the hoops

How about a Parky, Parky give us a wave at a quiet moment in the game when the scores are level?

I reckon if we lose on Monday we should all stand up and cheer/celebrate when the full time whistle goes...

That'll fcuk with everyones mind, watching on the Beeb

What club is Parky trying to boot us out of? Like a nightclub or something?

I thought our fans were guna sing about him at the Bradford away game but I didnt hear one Parky song...

Only when we're 5-0 with 5 mins to go.

Same here. No mention at all at Bradford. Exactly how it should be unless we are 3/4 goals up.

He blanked us before when he came with Charlton, when we asked for a wave!

Yeah only sing praise of Parky if we're at least 2-0 up (or 2-0 down if we can be bothered making any noise by then)

No, wait chelski were 2-0 up, make that 3-0!

pre-match, post-match or if we have the game won, I'm not cheering for an opponent team manager mid-match when it's still in the balance, even if it were Coppell.

No way.

Gloves are off for this and winning is the priority.

I can't see any time before or after that id sing it.

League game yea but not a cup game at this stage

I think Coppell is the one exception for me.

Let's face it half the home crowd will be paper ticket plastics who don't normally bother to go, have probably never seen Parky play for us and will be too absorbed in the Sweet Caroline song sheet that the club so helpfully sent out with the paper tickets to get involved in 12 Parkinson's etc etc.

I started watching Reading when we last were promoted to the Championship, at which point he had reduced to a bit part player so didn't get much exposure to him, I can definitely appreciate his affiliation with the club and his legendary status.

Yeah why not. Before the game not during it. Be nice to see a link to the past when you actually gave a shit about the players and the players gave a shit about the club and us fans.
