I still certainly hope to continue contributing to the general discussion on this site though and will stay in touch with the latest appointments and developments in the refereeing world - coming to the site soon after 4pm on a Monday (or latterly midday on a Tuesday) to despair at the latest set of appointments has become a regular part of my weekly routine.
I can't even begin to fathom how long this has taken you to process, but the thing that hit me the most about this, was how similar your routine is to mine with the quoted text. This is something I'll never take for granted again.
I've always found your posts to be more on the objective side, rather than the biased side in respect to refereeing performances involving Reading matches. I have regularly found your comments to be of the upmost quality, and I think I speak for the whole admin team in saying that your contributions will be sorely, sorely missed.
I hope you're able to find some comfort in this new journey you find yourself on. Your attitude is very inspiring in the circumstances, and you show great resilience.
I'll certainly miss your contributions on this site, Readingfan.
