So says his agent...
Call him up, Trap!
Reid to start talks with Burnley.

one year deal with newly promoted Burnley: http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/n...4-1720349.aspx
Good signing for both parties, IMO
Announced his retirement at the end of the season today: http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/n...t-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
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
We could have been contenders.Quote:

He deserves great credit for having had such a good career despite those injuries.
last professional game today - starts from the bench.
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.Quote:

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.
REALLY nice article: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-31281955.html
Yes, certainly puts a strong case for the grandparent rule.
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).
That Gary Townsend is a right piece of work.
Gary Townsend was all "we" yesterday for Ireland.
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?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Brownie points? you'll get me going again.
Reid will be on the coaching staff at Reading next season: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/...and-v-romania/
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).
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-31433846.html
has left his coaching role at reading
Word is he is moving onwards and upwards in his managerial career. He intimated that his time at Reading was a learning experience and that he is moving on to the next chapterQuote:

Could be an option for Kenny for 2022 campaign!
Interesting the amount of recently retired players now coaching with Irish underage teams or elsewhere.....Robbie, Duffer, Andrews, Andy and Steven Reid, Kevin Doyle...makes me strangely happy.
Didn't realise Reid is a coach for Scotland and at Forest. Saw some quotes from him today talking about Billy Gilmour. Considering the make-up of Scotland's squad and what they have achieved, maybe Ireland could utilise him in the future. His injuries still break my heart when I think about how good he was capable of being. Great to see his coaching career going so well.Quote:

Always liked Steven Reid but I'm not sure Scotland's achievements alone make him an automatic candidate for a role in our setup. They didn't win a game in either the qualifying playoffs or the finals, they were there as much out of good fortune more than anything really. Considering the quality of players they have available at the moment - Robertson, Tierney, McTominay, McGinn and Gilmour - I'd argue they underachieved at the finals.Quote:

That was the difference between going through and not ultimately. The players you listed are mostly defensive (McGinn the exception)
They actually have some good players now and some good young ones at that.Quote:

Scotland have been at 11 tournaments and never got out of the Group in any of them ! ! Amazing really, especially when you consider the quality of players Scotland had ~ Especially years ago.
It's an incredible statistic alright. Especially when you consider that quite a few of the tournaments they've been to have been 24 team ones where only 8 teams are cut in the first round.
I saw one of the statto twitter pages earlier saying it's the worst tournament finals record in all of world football.
Finished with Scotland. Replaced by Austin McPhee (the long haired coach for the north).

Any chance he is coming into our set up?Quote:

The former Blackburn and Republic of Ireland player tells Henry Winter how his own struggles have led him to press pause on his coaching career to pursue a new role supporting players with their mental health
That's some read
I'd heavily suspect that the issues he is describing are probably rife at the professional level. It's good that he seems to have had the right kind of support to work through it throughout his career. You'd worry about a lot of others.
As much as I hated Stephen Ireland
On mature reflection I do wonder if he suffered from significant mental health issues
It's heavy going alright. When I started my first job after graduating, I didn't know why I was there. Everyone was more qualified, more experienced, and I struggled to settle in. Took a few weeks and I realised I could do the work I was being assigned, but it's still something that hits me from time to time, like if I have to review code submitted by one of the other developers and it's way ahead of anything I can do.Quote:
