Andy Reid(b 1982)

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...signs-new-deal

Reid has signed a new two-and-a-half year contract at Forest.

Thought he would have been an excellent signing, even in January, for a lot of Premier League teams with his obvious talents, form, experience in the Premiership and his status as an International footballer and club captain but he probably isn't exotic enough.

In any event, he may have stayed. Either way it's irrelevant now.

But how bad are West Ham. A disgrace really.

I doubt they care much about the FA cup, avoiding relegation will be the priority.

It was far from their strongest line up so the result flatters Forest somewhat.

Whether The F.A cup is their priority or not - they still fielded Maiga, Morrison , Downing , jarvis all experienced first team premiership players - to be stuffed like they were at forest is what harry says...an absolute disgrace.

Sam surely wont be in the job for much longer.

Maybe, to be honest I don't know much about the West Ham line up and the relative strengths
of the players, however compared to relegation the FA is rather insignificant, if I were the manager
my only advice to the player would be to not get injured.

As to whether Sam goes I have no idea, their next league match is a 6 pointer v relegation rivals Cardiff,
if he loses that he will surely go but they may want to dump him before that to give the team a boost,
but it's a big decision to make, if they dump him and lose the match anyway they will look screwed.

Just seen his goal on Sky Sports. Another cracker. His 9th of the season.

Will post a GIF if I can find one.

Lovely strike, outside of the left foot I think.

They will probably remove the video fairly soon though.

Two assists for Andy as Nott'm Forest come from behind to beat Watford 4-2.

Simon Cox came off the bench to net his 6th and 7th goals of the season.

An "inspirational - man of the match" - with a radar light foot - according to Radio 5!

Forest came back from 2-0 down, Reid had two lovely assists.

What score was it and did Andy Reid play well?

I must have really p*ssed people off with my comments about Keane when people aren't even reading my comments.

I think Charlie suspects you're David Kelly. He'd be tarred and feathered around here if some of us had our way.

Does he write for the Independent? More of a Daniel McDonnell and Dion Fanning guy myself.

No, ex-Ireland international and Nottingham Forest coach David Kelly.

The Indo's David Kelly thinks Trap had a direct line to God for luck, castigated our cowardly acceptance of playing in Mainz, and thinks Robbie Keane is a chav who can't hold a torch to Drico. Only a 3-0 thumping of Spain in Madrid will do. Anything less and there's just no point in fielding a team, unlike our rugby heroes who invented penicillin and the internet.

Duffer's retirement must have been like a dagger through Kelly's heart. For years, we had a clean-living, middle-class borderline genius from Ballyboden for him to fawn over. Now who has he got left from the suburbs, Stephen Kelly?

Stephen Kelly is a lovely guy. My brother told me that he used to come to Maynooth to visit his student girlfriend and you wouldn't think he was a Premier League footballer from the way he carried himself. A lot of GAA players could learn a lesson in humility from him.

Some extremely lofty praise for Andy Reid.

"If Andy Reid had been coached by Carlo Ancelotti, he'd have been Andrea Pirlo". Guardian journalist, Richard Williams

Kelly has always come across like a gentleman. Which is why the spat with Trapattoni was so unsavoury - I wanted to believe he wasn't just throwing his toys out of the pram, but I just had the suspicion he had overstepped his mark.

edit: I should clarify, him coming across like a gentleman has nothing to do with him being well-spoken and middle-class. I am still in the minority who believe Robbie Keane is a very articulate sportsman and he'll do well in punditry if he chooses to go that way after he retires.

"If Andrea Pirlo had been coached by Steve Staunton, he'd have been Andy Reid". :p

(not having a go at Staunton or Andy, it just seems to work better than other options, was gonna use Trapattoni at first, but I suspected there might be a problem
with that and indeed there is it seems).

I'm sure a few more joke can be squeezed out of that tweet.
