Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakaritea e Reading tētahi rā semifinal o te FA Cup ki a Arsenal i te pō o te Mane - engari i whakangaromia a rātau whakanui e tētahi whakapae o te tūkino ā-iwi ki te winger a Garath McCleary. I tae atu te Royal ki Wembley me te wikitoria 3-0, ka mutu te rere toa o Bradford i te whakataetae. Koinei te wā tuatahi o Reading ki te whiringa toa FA Cup i roto i ngā tau 88, engari i pōhēhētia te whakatutukitanga e ngā whakapae i tukinotia ai a McCleary, he kaitākaro nō Jamaica, e tētahi kaitautoko o Bradford. Ko te whakanui a Reading i whakapouritia e te whakapae o te tukino i te iwi ki te winger Garath McCleary. I whakaarohia ko McCleary, he kaitakaro o Jamaica, i tukinohia e te kaitautoko o Bradford. I puta i te rima meneti i mua i te haurua i te wa i ngana ai a McCleary ki te whakahoki mai i te poi mai i te pito o Bradford. I haere humarie a Reading ki nga whiringa toa o te FA Cup me te wikitoria 3-0. Pāwhiritia ki konei kia pānui i te pūrongo ōrite katoa. E rima meneti i mua i te haurua ka puta te kaupapa i te wa i ngana ai a McCleary ki te whakahoki mai i te poi mai i te pito o Bradford. Ko McCleary, nana nei i eke te whaainga tuarua, i ohorere i tetahi mea i korerohia e tetahi kaiwhaiwhai ki a ia; i whakamohio tonu te winger Royals ki te kaiawhina o te kaitautoko, i korerohia e ia ki te wha o nga kaiwhakawa a Andre Marriner. I tukuna e Marriner te korero ki te rangatira matua o te haumarutanga o Reading, e mohiotia ana kua tere te whakarite i te kaitautoko i paahitia mai i te papa. Kātahi ka hopukina te kaitautoko. I te whakapumautanga o te kaupapa, ka pānuihia he korero a Reading: 'I ripoatahia he kaupapa ki nga kaitohutohu tukinga i mua noa o te haurua, i korero ai ki nga kaimahi o Reading. I reira ka hopukina tētahi tangata, ā, ka peia atu i te wā o te haurua.' I whakaae te kaiwhakahaere o ngā Royals, a Steve Clarke, i muri i te kēmu, e mōhio ana ia ki tētahi take e pā ana ki a McCleary. I whakaekehia e nga kaiwhaiwhai te papa i muri i te wa katoa i te wa i whakawhiwhia ai a Reading ki to raatau waahi i te whiringa toa o te FA Cup. E whakamoemiti ana ngā kaitākaro o Bradford ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai i muri i te wā katoa i a rātou e hinga ana ki a Reading 3-0 i te pō o te Mane. Ka tatari te FA ki te pūrongo a te kaitautoko a Mike Jones i mua i te whakatau i te huarahi hei whai, mehemea he aha, i tēnei...
