Have I/we slipped into some parellel universe.
I don't mind but would just like to know like !
How does intelligent online advertising work? I'm very impressed, or else it's a pure coincidence that I'm reading seanfhear's post accompanied by an ad for www.tradetang.com, a site advertising branded guitars from China ("30,000+ Professional Guitar Suppliers Quality Guaranteed")? I mean this is a thread about a gifted Irish footballer who plays about 10 games a year, who has difficulty respecting authority, who just happens to play guitar and who on a chat site has been tangentially associated with Rory Gallagher & Phil Lynnott. I'm too old for this new era. I blame Mike Lynch and Autonomy, based on what little I know about them.
Makes a change from all the dieting adverts we use to be plagued with on Andy's thread.
BTW Stutts, I think google adverts have you tagged as a rugby fan, if I were you I'd complain.
I think Razor should complain more - he's advertising handbags.
On the way to Sheffield United on loan,

should be good to help him regain fitness

Only came on as a 57th minute sub for another Irishman, Stephen Quinn.
So much for being the saviour of Irish football. Look I'm a big Reid fan but he hasn't produced on any meaningful level since our home match against Israel. He is either out of shape or off the pace and has been for several years now. Trapp may be obstinate but If he can't break into a Sunderland team bereft of both talent and confidence then you have to ask what's going on?
Why should facts like that prevent the RTE Panel beating Trap to death about the Reid issue? Most people like Reid, me included. He hasn't made it at the bigger clubs for some reason.Quote:

Andy has done his hamstring at Sheffield Utd. Not sure if he has now gone back to Sunderland for treatment, but he is certainly an injury prone player.
Jaysus he's worse than Duffer
Sad news,
here's some light (football related) relief

That must be some resilient hamstring. Just set up another Irishman, Mark Yeates, to put Sheffield United 2-1 up at Leicester.
Good man Andy. Yeates has two tonight.
This is the article I referred to in my post about Andy's hamstring. As you indicated it must not be as bad as I first thought!Quote:

Great goal.
Still carrying a bit of timber though....
Which says it all. Imagine if he was professional and lost the weight.
Andy Reid suspended for three games after a headbutt....apparently Stephen Quinn got a red card on the same play.
I guess they heard Trap likes combative midfield players...
In their defense, the field of play is no place to be telling jokes about Dubs.Quote:

Started today for Sunderland on the left wing against Notts County.
Maybe a little bit clearer now - he started for Sunderland against Notts County today so he's cup-tied now. Hopefully Bruce will keep him if he is fit and ready for the first team. If not, then he would probably be better off with a permanent move to the Championship and regular football.Quote:

Fair play to Bruce - he said he'd give him a chance and he has. Sounds like he completed 90 minutes too, which is encouraging.
He looked good in the brief highlights on ITV. Some great passing, almost scored himself and won a penalty. There was one glorious pass which should really have resulted in a goal. I'd love to see him in an Ireland jersey again, I really would. It's great seeing an Irish player do something on the field that makes you think to yourself "ah, that's just lovely".
I'd love to see him in an Ireland shirt again but it would have to be as a regular in the Sunderland team. He needs an all-round game to play for a country like Ireland and so far he hasn't really shown it (injury has contributed).
Ya, but in fairness he is still streets ahead of the likes of Paul Green.Quote:

When he's on form I think what he can do warrants an experimentation of a 5 man midfield. And when he's on form he certainly deserves a chance in the middle anyway. Wasn't there some game against Arsenal a couple of years ago when he absolutely ran in the show in the middle, passing and tackling like nobody's business?Quote:

To play that way for Ireland, he needs to have the ability to win the ball and I don't think he's done that enough in the past.
