foot.ie is racist against cork people xD

oh ****.

**Umberside** · 25/08/2009, 8:08 PM

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

**elroy** · 25/08/2009, 8:16 PM

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

**Umberside** · 25/08/2009, 8:18 PM

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

from the match report on Blackburn's site: http://www.rovers.co.uk/page/MatchRe...~50684,00.html

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.

**irishfan86** · 25/08/2009, 10:08 PM

Well, if that's a hamstring problem then there's no way he's back in time for Cyprus now.

**paul_oshea** · 26/08/2009, 8:19 AM

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

**drummerboy** · 26/08/2009, 8:44 AM

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.

**Stuttgart88** · 26/08/2009, 9:06 AM

Trap has already said that Reid would not be ready for the Cyprus game.

**irishfan86** · 26/08/2009, 9:36 PM

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.

**theworm2345** · 03/09/2009, 12:38 AM

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.

Excellent news

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".
