QuoteSaw some of the game last night against Stoke before I fell asleep on the couch. Reid is rotund again and not quite the Reid of a month or so ago. Doesn't really matter now but when he retires he'll be like Billy Bunter.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
It doesn't sound like Trapp was going to pick him anyway but Andy Reid is out for a month so wouldn't be available for the Brazil game anyway.

Reid is back training
Good news, needs a good finish to the season to hopefully get a recall to the squad for the summer games. Whether you think he's under or overrated we simply do not have enough top level players that we can afford to ignore those playing regularly at that level. We already have one AWOL as it is.
It's easy to forget that Reid is still only 27. He still has a lot to offer Ireland and he certainly has the quality to be in the squad. I know winger isn't his best position, but he contributes far more than Stephen Hunt from out wide in my opinion and he's also a year younger. Great to see him back.
Well in my view at this point he offers more end product than McGeady.
I can understand Duff and Lawrence being first choice, but I think Andy Reid would probably be third in the pecking order. I get the impression that Trap likes his wide players to be defensively responsible to a certain extent though, as Duff and Lawrence don't shirk that side of the game at all.
No question I'd have Reid in the squad.
My wide men would be: Duff and Lawrence (to start)
Subs: Hunt (used in a game where we must be defensive/physical)
Andy Reid (used in a situation when we need a goal, or when playing a weaker side).
I'd probably rank McGeady as fifth choice wide player at this stage. He's got time, but at this stage he's not meeting expectations.
trap wont call him up for these upcoming games. what has changed in his view?? nothing i would say. of course id want him back in a second but cant see it happening as long as trap is manager.
Well, he hasn't been playing, so no, at this point he hasn't done anything to earn a place in the squad. You'd hope if he was playing well that Trap would have him in there, but it looks like his days are numbered as long as Trap is the man in charge.

Celtic, Newcastle alerted to Reid availability at Sunderland
If Jon Goodman, Micky Evans and Keith O'Neill came out of retirement, and Shay Brennan emerged from his grave as a zombie hell bent on brains for lunch, Celtic would be linked with snapping them up.

Came off the bench tonight for his first appearance since February - http://www.safc.com/news/20100824/su...256213_2133608
Where ya been Andy? Bring back Andy! How old is he? Can't be older than Trap is. Seriously maybe he can end up back in the lineup.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Good to see him back. Sunderland have missed him.
If that is the case why were Sunderland reported to have made him available for sale last week (see the SwanvDalton post above)? It might be that Bruce has lost patience with his injury record and would be open to offers. Hopefully that is not the case but Andy needs a good run in the Sunderland first team to silence the doubters.
Based on this picture it looks like he kept pretty trim during his absence

I think it's his injury record that has Bruce frustrated. I think the form he showed when fit last season silenced all the doubters.
I suspect Trap, probably with some justification, looks at the likes of Reid and especially Stephen Ireland as luxury players who could get overrun in central midfield. Just like Ireland was on Saturday against Newcastle. Reid is different though because he is very effective from wide positions too.
