If Reid comes back fit and has few games under his belt before cyprus then this will be major boost for us..he is massive blow when he is missing as i think he one the best players we have had just pity about the injuries

I don't think you'll get any disagreement there.

If he does get back to full fitness in time for the remainder of our fixtures, I also believe we will qualify for the SA Finals. After watching an ageing Italy in the Confederate Cup, I reckon they are there for the taking at Croke Park. Could be exciting times ahead.

Was Gattuso back for Italy? I think he's a key player. I only got to see the Confed Cup at the SF stage.

He played in some of the games but he is past his best, like most of the Italian team, and they don't seem to have the players coming through to replace them.

Glenn Whelan has played brilliantly? Are you serious? Maybe in one game against Montenegro, but that's it

Whelan's been solid, if unspectacular. He's definitely improving under Trapattoni, and this has been reflected in his club performances. He's a certain squad member now, when available, and probably in the top 4 choices for starting in central midfield, again assuming everyone's fit and available.

A bit unfair on Whelan who hasn't done a lot wrong but here's what I'm thinking Trap will do:

.............Given...............

Finnan...Dunne...St. Ledger*....O'Shea

Ireland... S. Reid...Andrews..Duff

...............Keane.......................
...............Doyle........................

This was his best match alright. Think it suited him as the Italians allowed us have possession and he was always in plenty of space to recieve the ball. Still, like you say, credit where it's due. That's all he's getting from me though. He was an absolute disaster in all of our home qualifiers as well as the friendly against Poland. Completely overrated performances in Georgia and Montenegro and awful again away to Bulgaria.

I don't mean to be having a go at Whelan, I like him and he seems like a decent, modest fella, but I do not think he has played consistently well for Ireland.Maybe, its because he has been playing in an inexperienced central midfield. I also think I'd pick Andrews ahead of him if there is only one spot available between the two

What's the betting on him lasting out to the end of August.

According to Tony O'Donoghue on the radio this evening Stephen Reid played 45 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly at Blackburn today and could feature in the League before the end of the month. That could be great news for us as we head to Cyprus as, even if not fully match fit, he would be a huge asset to have on the bench.

Good news. We really need him back, and it's a real pity that the Cyprus game is too soon for him.

The fantastic news is that he is starting for Blackburn tonight against Gillingham.... seems to be at right back

Good news all right, so if he comes through this match ok can he still be called up to the Irish squad? I would be much more optimistic about our chances if he was there.

Gone off at half time, sky sports says it's an injury

All we can do is hope for the best. He surely couldn't get injured so soon again :eek:

Hopefully not, I wouldve thought it wouldve made sense to ease him back with just 45 mins and see how it got on. Hopefully its no more than a precaution. Would be a disaster if he has any sort of setback.

If hes just come off at half time it would make me think that he is just feeling a small injury. at least he didnt pull up in middle of game with something going on him
25/08/2009, 8:18 PM

Probably just getting used to playing at that level and being subbed so as to not risk injury.

On the stroke of half time Steven Reid stretched for a tackle, in doing so he picked up a hamstring strain and to add insult to injury he got a card for his troubles.

Well, if that's a hamstring problem then there's no way he's back in time for Cyprus now.
26/08/2009, 8:19 AM

Hamstring are an awful pain, i can see him being troubled by these for the year.

Its not unusual for a player coming back from a long term injury to pick up muscle strains like hamstring and calf strains. However the important thing is how his knee stood up to the game. It will probably be about 6 weeks before he is back at his best. Fingers crossed.

Realistically i dont think he was ever in line for the Cyprus game, he would want 4/5 full first team games under his belt before we should consider calling him up again.

Trap has already said that Reid would not be ready for the Cyprus game.
26/08/2009, 9:36 PM
irishfan86

I realize he wasn't included in the squad, but I was hoping he was in a standby situation whereby he would get a late call-up if he happened to get a couple of first-team matches in.

Probably best to let him fully recover anyway I suppose.

Midfielder Reid made his first appearance for almost a year, after undergoing knee surgery, in the Carling Cup win at Gillingham and despite suffering a hamstring tweak is almost ready for first team contention again.

We need to look to the long term for Reid, in reality another serious injury and his career could be toast. It'd be reckless to throw him into a high intensity game like this until he's fully ready.

Welcome aboard, Murfinator.

A good first post. I'd wager "you'll be back".
