Andy Reid

Watching the Ireland game on Saturday, it was interesting to hear the tone of the commentator, after Andy Reid's rather wonderful goal - it was all, well he should be plying his trade in the Premiership, and he's in limbo till January, and it's all very unfortunate, etc. as if Forest were somehow at fault, and should have made sure they sold him to Spurs or whoever, before the transfer window closed.

All the Premiership teams apparently after Andy Reid, seem to have squads stuffed with midfield players, whereas Forest are struggling to put out a team of players over 20 years old at the moment. In fact his trade is as a Forest player, and his job is to ply it in The Championship, and inspire the team into the playoff places, at least, and there is life outside the Premiership. Phew, nearly a rant.
