Piece here on Christie, his uncles Errol and Lloyd (former boxers) and the racism each have endured: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...reer-1.2674805

Can i Do the my friends cousin thing here?

**DannyInvincible** · 08/06/2016, 2:42 PM

Ha, by "each", I meant all three of them. Christie talked about racism he personally experiences as well (although not from Ireland fans, I don't think).

You mean you hope not :P

Doherty will surely make the cut now with Ward and Christie out?

Nope.

After coming back from an injury to one ankle he injured the other one.

Has been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks.

Christie went to visit Séamus Coleman in hospital before the Iceland game and clearly has a good rapport with his captain: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35574403.html

He spoke to me as I left. He told me there was no better man to fill his boots and that was great to hear from him. That sums the kind of guy he is up. For me that's a great compliment and it gives me a great amount of confidence because I look up to him.

He's our leader, he's a great player and is one of the best full-backs in Europe.

Christie has been out of the Derby team in recent weeks.

Meyler is persona non grata at Hull.

If the situation persists, MON needs to take a look at Doherty - even if he is playing at LB ATM.

Is that really fair - http://www.soccerbase.com/players/pl...layer_id=50157 he seems to have a fair amount of apps for a side presently outside the relegation zone. Do you feel the new manager is moving away from him lately maybe ?

He hasn't started a league game since Marco Silva came in.

And has been left rooted to the bench in recent weeks.

But was he a solid starter prior to that change ?

Hasn't started a league game since the days of Marco Polo, but in all honesty I don't think he's the proper option for MON at right back.
It's turning into a conundrum. Maybe Matt Doherty, but that's hardly going to happen given that he hasn't even been capped yet.
Perhaps Andy Boyle?

**backstothewall** · 09/04/2017, 9:19 PM

I really can't imagine Martin O'Neill will care about what is happening at Derby. Christie has never let us down when called upon. He'll play if fit. Doherty has been in a few squads now so he'll get an opportunity in a few friendlies while Coleman is out.

**Charlie Darwin** · 11/04/2017, 12:15 AM

I think it's pretty clear Christie is MON's preferred RB option regardless. With Seamus's injury you'd imagine he will prioritise giving time to the next in line in the summer friendlies, but Cyrus is the man for Austria.

Agree with this. Hope Doherty gets a chance soon as I think he might actually be a more balanced full back than Cyrus is. But Cyrus is nailed on for Austria.

Ward looked good the weekend against Boro so at least the other flank is brighter.
