Keith Treacy

[Drumcondra 69er]

Been recalled to the Under 21's by Given according to the Indo. Lucky that injury wasn't as bad as appeared last week. If Don Givens is patching things up with players maybe there's hope for Andy Reid yet!

[Stuttgart88]

Maybe Givens isn't aware he's injured?

[drummerboy]

He played last weekend so unless he has a fresh injury he should be ok.

[Razors left peg]

last I heard he was gonna be out for 6 months so that must be a massive relief to the lad

[Park_Lane]

I didnt realise that Treacy and Givens had fallen out, jesus how many players is that now that Givens has fallen out with? McCann, Ireland, Connolly and Treacy are the ones that spring to my mind. Thank god he's only ever been involved with the senior squad on a caretaker basis.

[irishfan86]

Glad to hear Treacy's injury was not as bad as first thought. This is a key time in his development, and missing 6 months could have really put his career in jeopardy.

Treacy's goal from the weekend here on 2:20: http://www.skysports.com/video/clips/0,23791,16557_6088764,00.html
Suicidal backpass from St Ledger just before it as well

[theworm2345]

Not a bad goal in the League Cup this week

Its a cracker !

[irishfan86]

I was never impressed with him in the few appearances he made for Blackburn in cups and that, but he looked like he could be an interesting option when he played against Argentina. Added the sort of kick we're used to with Stephen Hunt.

[geysir]

I don't know about his overall game but he showed some of the key attitudes, that he is a confident player with some ability and that was coming on against a team like Argentina. I was impressed with his debut. He could be the the type of player who would do well coming on against Armenia. I'm glad he is in the squad.

[irishfan86]

Came off injured in his match against Sheffield Utd. earlier.

[Colbert Report]

We could be in serious trouble in terms of available wide players for the upcoming two qualifiers.

[irishfan86]

Trap has used Long, Keogh and Fahey in wide positions, so in his head I'm sure he feels comfortable enough. While Keogh and Fahey haven't particularly impressed me, I must say that Shane Long has always looked an interesting option for us out wide in his few cameos.

[Charlie Darwin]

He's having a great first half against Burnley on BBC2 at the moment. Hit the frame of the goal before a peach of a finish coming in from the left.

[Closed Account]

It should say BBC2 17:00 The Keith Treacy Show

[tricky_colour]

Yea I have been watching some of that, he beat the offside by a mile and his goal was
first class, a precision shot few players would have made

[tetsujin1979]

nice first time cross for the third goal there from Treacy

[tricky_colour]

Great cross for third goal too, must be MOM.

[tricky_colour]

Where is he playing on the left wing?

[rebelmusic]

Left Mid according to Sky

[tricky_colour]

Yea says same in Wiki, also says he is only 21, I thought he was older.
Seems a good prospect judging from this game.

[Closed Account]

Where is he playing on the left wing?Turf Moor

....For Preston North End

[rebelmusic]

3-3 now, ah poor Preston. Wish Treacy was playing for a decent side, legde too

[tricky_colour]

Blimey 4:3 from 1:3,

[Charlie Darwin]

I'd say your man who got sent off will be on the end of a hairdryer at some point. Like father, like son - he's already got the throwing away a 3-1 lead part down.

[drummerboy]

Treacy had a very good game. Glad to see he is starting to produce decent performances consistently. If he keeps that up, he could well end up back in the top legue.

[rebelmusic]

Injured tonight :(

[SkStu]

Preston goal: Pretty good few moments for the Championship against the Premier league, you'd have to say. North End get a free-kick 20 yards out and Keith Treacy fires it low into the Wigan net past Ali Al Habsi.

2006: GOAL Wigan 0-1 Preston (Treacy)

He had a very good freekick(maybe two) against Burnley a week or two ago. He is doing great stuff at the moment.

[Charlie Darwin]

That Darren Ferguson really is his father's son, isn't he? 5-4 up at Leeds. Treacy's got one for Preston and Alex Bruce one for Leeds.

[Charlie Darwin]

Treacy scored from a corner, believe it or not. St. Ledger set up Bruce's goal by inexplicably heading across goal (and his keeper) to leave him with an empty net. The amount of goals Preston are conceding is worrying from a Sledge point of view.

[tetsujin1979]

He does seem to take a decent set piece, and it would be good to have an alternative to Lawrence in a dead ball situation

[tetsujin1979]

Just scored against Reading

[passinginterest]

End of his international career under Trap?
He's committed the cardinal sin here of being "too tired" to represent his country in competetive international action. OK he was hardly likely to start but that's not really any excuse when you see players like Duff who'll turn up regardless of any injuries or tiredness.

Id never call him up again after that to be honest. thats absolutely disgraceful. Too tired to represent ur country after playing 9 games..... the mind boggles

[greendeiseboy]

Slightly different angle from the PNE website

http://www.pnefc.net/page/NewsDetail/0,,10362~2174554,00.html

[SkStu]

this is the first time in his career that Treacy has enjoyed regular football, week in, week out. Im noit surprised if he is feeling it a bit. I have no issue with this especially considering he is apparently on standby or not... no-one is really sure. Smacks of bad communication from management to me.

[Sullivinho]

"Someone said I'm in the squad, others said I'm on standby but, whatever, I am not going,"

Ridiculous attitude from a rookie. Enjoy the break Keith.

[Charlie Darwin]

It's hard to tell without seeing the video and I'd rather not subscribe to PNETV. Wouldn't trust the Herald as far as I could throw it.

[Closed Account]

Ya, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Newspapers have a way of putting a spin on an innocuous interview. The Gibson one springs to mind. He's been struggling to finish games all season so its fair enough. Rookie mistake telling Trap that he was tired, but he shouldn't have to make up an injury either.

[SkStu]

Wouldn't trust the Herald as far as I could throw it.

should have pointed out that this had a bearing on my post too.

[geysir]

I doubt if the Herald pays its 10p/day sub to PNE
Looks more like the Herald story is a mix and match of ripping off bits from various other media outlets, including

Mirror (http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Preston-1-1-Reading-Daily-Mirror-match-report-Keith-Treacy-fired-the-Lilywhites-ahead-before-Jem-Karacan-crashed-in-a-stunning-equaliser-article593947.html)

[tetsujin1979]

might be unrelated but it's interesting to note that Treacy has only completed 90 minutes for Preston five times this season, and the last one was almost a month ago. He's been substituted 6 times since and was the most substituted player in September: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/PlayerDetails?playerID=44385&seasonID=140

[SwanVsDalton]

Conflicting reports. But IF (big if) those are accurate quotes then he may find himself grounded for a few months like Wilson, McCarthy et al. Trap hates squad pull-outs almost as much as he hates Byron Moreno...

[tetsujin1979]

Different take on Treacy pulling out on soccerrepublic: http://soccerrepublic.eircom.net/News/duffdisappointmentfortrap.aspx

Trapattoni, who is also without Preston's Keith Treacy due to a persistent calf problem, has not called up any midfield reinforcements.

Treacy, who was on standby, did not travel, with Preston insisting he needs rest to get over a long-standing problem.

Trapattoni would have included the player had it not been for Preston's insistence that he needed to stay in Lancashire.

In Italy, Treacy would have been expected to report and be assessed by medical staff, but Trapattoni has accepted Preston manager Darren Ferguson's decision to keep him close to home.

Trapattoni said: "They said he is injured. He can play, but he needs rest. They wanted to rest him so he could recover.

"Always after one hour, he is in pain in his groin and they think it is better he stays at home.

"After the last game, he played 60 minutes, he felt it and we hope with this rest, he gets better.

"In Italy, we have other habits. If a player is injured, our doctor speaks with their doctor, he comes in and then he goes home. In Italy, players always come.

"It's not a problem of believe or not believe. I am not a doctor."

Treacy has been battling his injury for some time and has been unable to play for his club on a sustained basis.

Trapattoni said: "He can play 20 minutes and he has pain in his groin. He plays 20 minutes, 60 minutes, but then he is not fit so it is not possible to come with us.

[elroy]

This is direct quotes as produced by breakingnews.ie, dare I say it, alot more reliable than the Herald. Make of this what you will, not as bad as some are making out above, although Trap doesnt appear entirely happy with it judging by the comments below that he should have at least travelled over to see the Irish doctor etc.

[geysir]

It would appear from those in the press who were there at the press conference, that Trap was not at all happy with the manner of Treacy pulling out - hiding behind the apron of his club.

[tricky_colour]

Perhaps a bit of a storm in a tea-cup. He probably would not have got on the pitch anyway?
Better he gets himself fully fit?

[geysir]

Might well be so, but apparently real character is defined as turning up for duty and being shattered to be told by the doc that you can't play. Italians like to witness all the drama as it unfolds.
