    Andy Reid is not even in the Forest squad today, rumour has it he is injured, no
    other reason suggested on the Forest forum at least. No suggestion of what the injury might
    be either, I find the lack of any explanation slightly ominous.

    Well Forest lost 3-1 without him which kind of works in his favour, that
    is not to say they would not have lost if he played. Put a big dint in
    Forest's chances of automatic promotion.
    Wigan moving to a point off the playoffs with a game in hand.

    You keep saying that CD, but its not obvious from his interviews, sorry! And its nothing got to do with his accent, this is a football forum not a rugby love in!

    I have to say, I thought the same as this when I read your post Charlie!
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Imo, there is a big difference in reading what Robbie says and listening to him say it.

    It's just far too easy for those of us who grew up in a more elevated educational environment (i.e. outside Dublin), to dismiss out of hand anyone speaking in the typical inarticulate dumb Dublin accent, an accent so linguistically retarded that the person can't possibly be saying anything of interest.
    Robbie is an exception to this.

    Well what is it then? He deals in the same sort of vague non-committal statements most footballers do to avoid controversy, but when he does come out and express his own opinions I think he does it quite well.

    Yeah that's it, most footballers are a bit dim, nothing against him personally, met him and he is a top bloke.

    I'm with Charlie on this one. Keane is smart enough to say the right things at the right times. He'll throw out the clichés for the most part but, when the moment demands, he's not afraid to speak with conviction. He's being asked fairly routine football questions, not really much of a platform to show your NASA credentials. Of course, it is a platform to show yourself up if you're particularly thick and he certainly doesn't fall into that category. Frank Lampard, for example, is supposed to be exceptionally intelligent and I don't think we'd know this from his football interviews, which are fairly routine.

    Ha! I went to a college that is intertwined with NASA and the dumbest idiot I knew went to work for them. Needed a spatula to scrape him off the floor every sunday morning, with vomit.

    I can understand the spatula but why would you need to use vomit?

    Given the group we have it'd be great if we can have a home win over Serbia with some convincing individual performances. It'd be great to arrive in September with no players still needing to look like international footballers. Time for a few to grow up and seize their moment. If I could have a further wish it'd be that we play 433 and it looks like it suits us and brings the best out of us.

    I checked out the records of the players who were omitted, and it looks like the squad for Serbia is about as good as it gets right now. Findings blogged here: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/
    Chris McCann is the only one you can really say should be involved, there's very little from the rest that would be an improvement
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Serbia's caretaker coach has struck a welcome blow against a lingering intolerant legacy from fascist former coach Mihajlovic, that was hanging over the international team set up.

    Ljajic recalled
    Serbia’s interim management team have recalled Roma’s Adem Ljajic for the friendly against the Ireland in Dublin on March 5th.The midfielder (a muslin) was kicked out of the squad nearly two years ago by former coach Sinisa Mihajlovic after he refused to sing the national anthem.

    Gives new meaning to the term "towel head".

    Tarpaulin behaviour from Mihajlovic.
