The Andy Reid Fitness Monitoring Thread

+1

Those who say Trap did a good job with Ireland know nought about football. Set us back 10 years.

Sigh

Reid was a thundering disgrace

This was one narrative which always annoyed me. Granted he was a honest but very limited player but people often throw out this line to disparage the fella. It wasnā€™t a case that he was released by his last club training down the park on his own unable to get a club to give him a trial or sign him. He was a regular for Derby county for the 2011/2012 season and they were keen to keep him but he turned down a new deal as he wanted more money and was left out of their last two games due to it and instead moved to Leeds on a bosman that summer.

Sure Gary Breen had no club in 2002 and achieved cult status for it. Its a bit of a pointless stat to throw out.

From what i remember it was a quip/putdown by Eamonn Dunphy after one of the games that fellas ate up with a big spoon

Sure Italy didnā€™t even qualify for the last World Cup. Nothing special these days!

ROI have in the main been fortunate at how the balls bounced in UEFA draws . Dela was at worst a lucky general

Brian Kerr and Steve Staunton were the managers before Mr Trappatoni . He set nothing back .

Id say the fact that he isn;t on them may have something to do with the weight loss/health kick

Andy Reid has slimmed down enough to get right inside your head. The first fella since Kev to knock you off your zen buzz.

I hate to see talent wasted.

How you could say Kerr set us back is beyond me :man_shrugging:
Stan on the other handā€¦

I never said Kerr set us back . He didnā€™t bring us for either . I think around that time things had gone back as the quality of the players went backwards and the public lost a lot of grĆ  for the national team .
