Some story about him in the Indo tomorrow about "How I blew my Euro dreams". Might be interesting enough, maybe shed some more light on exactly what went down. Probably a bit late from him to grovel, should have done it a long time ago |

The reason why he's not getting a game is because Forest have a f*ckwit of a manager not because he's underperforming. In fact, when he does play recently he's been superb. It's not just my biased view (as plenty of my mates feel likewise) to say that Andy Reid is by far the best player we have at the moment. If the rest of the prats put in as much effort we wouldn't be in the sh*te that we're in. He's still a little on the tubbie side (which isn't a rare occurance) but he is such a skillful player. Such a shame Trap never gave him enough of a chance to show what he could do. Defo too late for a call up but would be great if he turned up with his guitar for some pre-match craic! Can someone post a linky to the article please?

Indeed I am, clues in the Avatar! I'm a season ticket holder @ Forest so I know what I'm on about. The Manager is clueless. We went to Ipswich a few weeks ago and got our first win (and goals!) in 8 matches simply because of Reidy's MOTM performance. Our prat of a Manager then dropped him and we haven't scored a goal since. I know Reidy has a history for being a lazy bugger, and earlier this season he wasn't doing much. However, he's been running his arse off and providing the only quality when he's been given a chance recently, whilst everything around him falls apart. His distribution of the ball is a class above those around him and he'd still do a job for someone like Fulham/QPR. Just glad he's still with us to try and get us out of the mess we're in. The lads still quality and still only 29 so can't understand why folk think he's finished.

Forest have delved into the same long ball tactics that Trapattoni loves so much. That style of play completely bypasses the midfield. He's suffering the same fate there that he had with the Ireland setup. Camp just drops the ball up to Harewood/Tudgay and waits till it comes back to him so he can do it again. Frustrating as f**k going over the watch them play and seeing this happen. |

Our midfield options have bypassed Andy Reid now anyway , he wouldn't fit the system either and yeah maybe he can feel abit hard done by for not getting selected since the incident but at the end of the day he pissed off Trap so it's his own fault. On a side note i know the chap has had trouble with his weight all his life , but when your a professional footballer one might ask themselves is it not down to personal desire to keep yourself in peak physical condition? It has hampered his career abit by carrying the extra few pounds we all know that. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Bad hangover this morning? Never said he was! 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.

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 only ever hit Roy Keane the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard." - Brian Clough |

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. ------------- "I only ever hit Roy Keane the once.

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.

There are so many knockers and begrudgers on this forum. It wouldn't surprise me if the idiot mod who moved the Stephen Ireland thread to ROW did the same with this. Couldn't we all just be happy for the lad that he is back in some kind of form again. Whatever issues he has with Trap he has kept his own counsel. He is not running to the media moaning or planting stories. I would say he knows himself he has no future with Ireland unless he gets back into the PL and is voted player of the year for five successive seasons. Best of luck Andy. Keep up the good work.

| He's been on the periphery of the forest team for most if the season, which hasn't been a problem for trap selecting players before, don't think its a huge loss for us anyway.

No doubting his ability when on form , but his fitness is still poor like he might have done well on highlights last night but he still looks around two stone over weight. He'll never play for Ireland again imo , sure he's 30 this year i think and Trap has another two years in charge! ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Why should it be in the ROI section when he has made it clear through his actions he has no interest in his country. Andy Reid is a different case, great player who has never fulfilled his full potential due IMO to his enjoyment of life and he is entited to that, and again IMO the only reason he is not in the squad is his lack of fitness and lifestyle. Its a shame because he could have been one of Irelands best ever players. At least he is still proud of his country unlike the chap in the ROW section.  ------------- I know nothing :-) |

Strange isn't it. Andy Reid is out of the Ireland scene because he has a big gut and a big mouth but is still regarded by YBIG as eligible for the ROI section.

I just don't get way people are so keen on reid, he has been afforded chance after chance to prove his worth e.g spurs sunderland and 20 odd caps for Ireland yet he's never in my opinion proved himself. Hoolahan on the other hand started from the bottom and worked his arse off to get to the top, yet seems that people never exhibit the same uproar when he was left out of squads.

Good piece in this weeks Irish Post about Andy Reid.
" The fact is I never once made myself unavailable for Ireland I have not retired from international football I still care about the team and will be cheering the lads on whenever they play.
Hopefully I will get the chance to play for my country again one day and if I do speak about my exclusion from the panel it will not be in the immediate future."

Was good against the smaller teams, but went missing in the bigger games, Germany springs to mind.

What a goal. Such a talent. Its great as an international team we're so good that we can dismiss players like this.. Hes the kind of player that were he a 20 year old there'd be people having tantrums on here that he wasnt in the squad. Not saying he should be in the team, but should be an option. Especially as there are question marks over a fair few squad players atm. |

Have always liked him as a player, so much ability. He would be a good squad addition, like if you need a goal with 20 to go he's a great option for free kicks and corners rarely fails to deliver a good ball/shot. I think he has been unlucky in his career, had he not of had a really bad injury after shifting a load of weight a couple of seasons ago then I have no doubt he would still be a premiership footballer. |

Bullsh*t he's proven himself for Ireland.Look at him a couple of seasons ago playing quality for Sunderland shifted the weight and was playing amazing but still trap ignored him. If you watch any of the Forrest games he looks very sharp especially when it comes to set pieces. Something we are seriously lacking in Trap had his own interests in mind and made an example of Reid and what a pro Reid is never once went to the press and spoke out ------------- @mickgleeson82 |

That's true - always nice to see players with integrity and dignity; traits that are quite uncommon in football. He's good enough to be in the squad, just not the 'fantastic talent' that some people reckon, IMO. -------------

I do feel sorry for Andy Reid. Has been treated poorly. I dont think I would have him in the team though. I have serious respect for the way he has kept his council. So many pros these days act like spoilt brats moaning on twitter. Gimps like Ashley Cole and his ilk make me sick and turnnme off football tbh. Well done Andy. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

| Should never ever be ruled out of coming back to international football. Never too late Trap. Swallow your pride. You already did this week by staying in the job after being undermined. |
