Reid on Off the Ball now.

Again?? Wasn't he on just a couple of weeks ago?? What's he saying this time?

Charlie Darwin

Said he'd find it very difficult to turn down a call-up and that he was very hurt by Trap's comments back in the day. He said he'd heard it was a misunderstanding but you still can't be throwing around comments like that when a player is recovering from an 11-month injury.

Sing him up for Euro. Perfect Veteran hand to get us 3 vs Cro-Asia and we can take him out early while Spain is scoring gobs on us and then he will be perfect for us in the decider vs Italy.

Normally I'd tell him to eff off, but in fairness, it isn't like he's coming out of the woodwork for a major finals. I remember him saying that he'd always consider a return if needed due to injury. Was he injured back when we ended up playing Paul Green against Russia? Coulda used him in that match.

Charlie Darwin

He was still only featuring sporadically for West Brom, if I remember correctly.

I don't think he has a hope of getting back. If he'd called Trapattoni, maybe. But, to Trap, a player making his feelings known through the media is like breaking omerta.

Brilliant free kick from Reid to put WBA up 1-0! About 25 yards out (roughly middle of the pitch) Reid gets it up and down excellently, Al-Habsi had no chance...well done.

A midfield partnership of Stephen Reid and David Meyler would be our best midfield partnership for the Euros . . . . . .

Poor couple minutes for Reid. Clattered in to a challenge and got a yellow card. Just brought down Victor Moses in the box as well to concede a penalty, 2-1 Wigan.

The Stevie Reid of the Norway/Georgia and Montenegro games would be a brilliant addition to the current squad (the best performances by a CM under Trap IMO). However Im not sure that Reid is still about. He has done decent for WBA at right back, but he has played very little in midfield and has admitted that he may not be able for that position anymore. Having said that he would certainly be a useful player to have and his versatility would be welcome in a tournament squad.

Jeez, his career is blighted by such injuries. He has done well to have resurrected his career at WBA considering Trap's comments about him before he left Blackburn!

made his comeback for West Brom in a reserve game against Norwich at the weekend: http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/albion-u21-4-norwich-u21-0-481140.aspx
played in midfield, lasted just over an hour
Bradley Garmston played as well, one of his crosses was handled which led to a penalty, another was headed just over by Reid and a third was converted for the final goal of the game

Daniel Fox tried to "do" Steven Reid yesterday in West Brom's 3-0 win over Southampton. Absolutely criminal. Steven Reid has battled back from so many knee injuries over the years. The tackle was downright criminal, one of the worst you'll ever see. What Suarez did last weekend was terrible but this was a million times worse and Fox will only get a three game ban.

Disgraceful tackle!

How old is Reidy now? He seems to be doing a bit of writing, think I saw him doing a piece in the Indo around the time of the double header last month. He's definitely a useful player still. Wouldn't mind him coming back in the least.

Announced his retirement at the end of the season today: http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/article/steven-reid-announces-retirement-2460678.aspx
Only 23 international calls, I thought he had way more, but he was injured for several protracted spells. Still think the partnership between him and Whelan at the beginning of Trapattoni's reign could have developed into something special

Fixer82

18/05/2015, 1:33 PM

Yeah heard that on the news and couldn't believe he only had 23 caps. U
Unlucky with injury and unlucky with Trap retiring him from international footballs

A very good player who never reached his full potential due to injuries.

He deserves great credit for having had such a good career despite those injuries.

He was the No. 1 on the team sheet I suspect during the early days of Trap's reign but his downward spiral thereafter can't be blamed on Trap but on injury. Looking at his Wikipedia page, I never knew he played for England at Junior level.

He's articulate and I wonder will be go in to coaching. Best of luck to him and one of our many top players whose career was blighted by injury.

26/05/2015, 1:19 PM

I think he and Andrews will do well for themselves in the future. Kilbane is already doing well in the media as are Cunningham and Sadlier. Arguably Hunt too. A good vintage of decent, smart and capable people.

Yes. And Mark Lawrenson and Gary Townsend are proud to be Irish and Ireland internationals depending on what studio they are in....

Reid is a good lad, honest pro. I knew before he was close to his Jamaican & Irish heritage. Enjoy his and Ian Rush's articles about Ireland. But I don't agree with using him or his article just to score brownie points (for the 4th or 5th time).

Charlie Darwin

so he mentions Irish heritage in an article and he's doing it for brownie points, and if he didn't mention in it an article, then he's embarrassed by them?

Good article here by him on his careers, injuries and the fear about the end of his playing days. But is it any different from someone in their own job outside of football. They're soon forgotten once they close the door behind them for the last time (albeit without the previous adulation).
