O'Brien and Bruce follow O'Dea out of Leeds though.
What is nice about that piece in the standard is, its the first thing he mentions with Mihir bose. Before he is asked anything, like the other interviews, as if to rubbish talk of anything England/English related.Quote:

He's lost a hell of a lot of weight in the last 18 months or so... If Andy Reid had had his gastric discipline he might still be a contender for us.
Im struggling to think of any goals where you could say harte was at fault. I know he had a poor WC, but in the qualifying campaign he was superb.
He was a constant squad member throughout the Kerr era which now I look back at it, had some very heart breaking nights. Not such much because of defeats but because of uncharacteristic heartless Irish performances. He hasnt had a look in really since Stan took over.
He was injured for much of Stans reign, he was selected when fit I believe. He was definitely a starter away to San Marino
Signed a new one year deal at Reading: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/News...781995,00.html
Should have been in the squad, as cover...
Should be starting, we'll yet rue the decision to hand Ward a starting spot. Mark my words, it'll cost us big time.Quote:

That is very true, but Harte is not the answer. If Harte was that good he would have stayed with Levante. He is enjoying an Indian summer in a less that
top level league. But international football now way. Marc Wilson should have been our full back but since he's not the job should go to Stephen Hunt.
Josh LB, Kelly RB - Simples
Should that not be Kelly RB Josh LB?
Are you looking up the way or down the way?:D

Harte at his best would certainly be a shoe-in in today's team, would KK at his best have a sniff at LM?
Don't think Harte has looked out of place today, suprised he didn't take their late penalty though.
According to the BBC live updates, Reading missed five of their seven penalties last season. Did Harte take all or most of them?
He missed one as far as I remember, then duties were handed over to Hunt, who missed, then Roberts, who missed, etc.
