Doubt we'll every find out what he could have done for Ireland, at least not whilst Trap's in charge. Reidy has always been a bit of a lad from the moment that he stepped into Nottingham as a kid and I agree that he's wasted so many opporutnties in his life. My point was that he's playing well at the moment (and I don't just mean on his guitar). That is all.
 

That's exactly what you said and it's the only reason I responded.
See my first post and look at what I highlighted in red.

Reid had his chance in an Ireland jersey it's time for him to move on.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Hey? Have another look at the previous post. Think we're getting your wires crossed somehow.
 
What you've highlighted above is exactly what I said, but it surely it was abundantly clear that when I said 'we' I was talking about Nottingham Forest, not Ireland.  I go onto say that 'we wouldn't be in the sh*te we're in'. Surely it's obvious that I'm referring to Forest, not Ireland? As the thread continues myself and others point out that I'm referring to Forest NOT Ireland but you seem to ignore all that. Are they posted in white font?!?
 
Anyways, hopefully we can put that misunderstanding side to bed now. In terms of your general opinion on Reidy in the post quoted above,  I'm not sure what you mean about it being time for him to 'move on'. Unlike prats like Stephen Ireland he loved playing for his country so he won't 'move on', though I accept the national team may have done. I just hope he gets his head down, loses a few pounds and proves a few people wrong as he's no age. He may, only, may, have something still to offer.
 
For the 2nd time, that is all.

I see where your coming from now..
It was the fact that we were on an Ireland forum discussing Ireland players that I assumed you were talking about Andy Reid and the Ireland squad members.

I know reid struggles weightwise but he doesnt need much pace cos his fast long range
passes, keane would thrive on not to mention a much needed set piece taker.im forever grateful to trap for qualification but its a great pity reid cant get bk in especially when fluteface stephen ireland has the door open to come back

Wasn't going off topic Horsebox, far from it.
 
Andy Reid is a former squad member and as this thread came back to the fore, I thought I'd give you all an insight into how he's doing as not many of you will have heard much of him since he's dropped down to the English Championship.
 
My point was he's a shining light in the current Forest team so don't all be thinking that because Forest are in the sh*te Reidy is contributing to that decline. On his day he can do a job like no other Irishman I know in terms of defence splitting passes. I don't think it's over for him, and had we not qualified ofor the Euros, I suspect that there may have been more on here questioning Trap's exclusion of such a talented asset.

People need to give up the ghost on Andy Reid. He hasn't played for Ireland in 5 years. We'll never see him in an Irish jersey again.

Ya think the last time he's seen in a green shirt will have been post match in Podgorica when his name was being sung for about 20 minutes while doing his warm down. Always commited but not a huge loss any more. Cry

Yeah, relegation struggling Championship players are what we really need.... ffs. There are enough people complaining about the fact we have one in the squad without bringing along a second (and Derby are 11 points above Forest, plus until today, Paul Green had scored as many this season as Andy Reid, from fewer games).

if his fitness improved he d be handy to have in the squad.we could do with a designated free kick taker and he s got the ability for through passes.ive always liked reid and would rather have him in the squad than green.he must ve really pissed trap of that night if the door is completely shut but trap is entitled to pick whoever he wants at the end of the day

Delighted for him; altho he isnt everyones cup of tea, he is a good lad and a good player when his mind is on it. However his fitness problems have always blighted his career, and i hope he manages to conquer this problem for the rest of his career
From wot ive heard from my mate who is a forest fan, reid has been brill d last couple of months. Also

Also he wil never ever play for ireland again as long as trap is in charge, even if he does manage to play regurlarly in the prem in d next few yrs as trap is a as stubborn as thy come

Great goal yesterday. He still has a lot to offer on set pieces and delivery, but won't be picked again because of what happened with Trap.

Jesus as soon as I seen he scored yesterday I knew there'd be people looking for Reid to be in the Ireland sqauds Confused 
 
 
Reid has only himself to blame for being cast aside end of. Besides which, he's hardly set the world alight over the last year or two.
