Going to be interesting to see what happens with Keith when the likes of Reidy, Emerton, Grella and to an extent Dunny are fully fit. I suspect he will play a bench role and come on when needed in case of injuries or if Sam wants to change it.

I was pretty vocal when he came, thought he would be a bad signing but overall he has impressed me a bit (though my expectations were pretty low of him so maybe that's no surprise). The guy obviously has his faults but he works hard, gives 100% and seems to be fit every week. Not all his performances have been shocking, contrary to some people's beliefs.

Right, everyone's got their opinions on Keef, and here's mine.

Quite simply he was bought in as a squad player, a bcak up player as cover for injuries and suspensions. Unfortunately as we have had so many injries he's ended up playing a lot more games than first envisiged. He gets up and down the park, stays fit and can score the odd goal. Unfortunately he's not got the range of passing and the quick mind to be a top player in the Prem, it takes more than being able to run around to be a top player.

He's done a job for us and should continue to be a squad man, mainly cup runs and covering injuries, he should not be anywhere near the starting line up when all our midfield options are fit. I see him below Dunn, Grella, Bert, and N Zonzi as a first teamer.

Yep. agreed. Better than some in the Premier League but never going to be a world-beater. Some peoples antagonism towards him is quite pointless and to boo him just because you can and he's there is childish playground behaviour.

I'm honestly getting heartily sick of the constant insulting posts towards a few individuals from a number who have nothing better to say. This thread (and the Wolves preview) has degenerated into a constant barrage of insults and childish snipes. Grow up or go away.

I agree wholeheartedly. That quote came from Allardyce - not from me.

This must be an incredibly confusing situation for the Allardyce brigade... Keith Andrews is terrible, but is apparently one of the first names on the team sheet! :blink:

:lol:

Come off it. Andrews is continually picked because Grella,Dunn Emerton and Reid have had an horrendous run with injuries. No other reason.The guy does his best, should never be booed but should never have been signed.

All the pro-Andrews posters better start thinking of their next argument now Dunn/Grella/Emerton are getting back to fitness. It will become clear soon that Sam is only picking him because he has no option.

And just how long do you realistically think any of those players will stay fit?

Very sensible. I don't understand the booing of Keith as he is there only as an inexpensive backup. We should be encouraging him, not tearing him down, as we wait for the days were our 'better' midfielders are available on a consistent basis.

Yup that's been said a million times Ricky. That's not the point though, because Jonno should be along shortly, if he's consistent, to tell you that you're wrong. He will tell you that you must be wrong because Trapp picks him and Allardyce picks him. Not only do those two pick him, they play him before other squad members even when those other squad members are fit. So you're wrong Ricky [in Jonno's eyes].

What do you say to that? :)

I would have sent a PM to let you know about this, but I'm not deemed worthy of using the facility. So I have to annoy people by posting responses in the wrong thread. Apologies.]

Can a member be banned from using the pm facility?

If so I can only assume that you were misusing it. Is that the case?

I'm not going to get into an argument with you on this thread. Feel free to pm me if you have any concerns otherwise I shall assume that everything is good ;-)

Never gets old. Why don't you look into what I said? How long was Scotty "banned" for?

By virtue of denying my PM rights moderators have led to the derailment of a great many threads. Seems a little counter-productive.

Any chance of you or another mod cleaning up this thread of the last few pages of insults between various members, especially this 'Autistic' nonsense? I find calling a member autistic without knowing anything about their personal life or circumstances rather disgraceful.

Not sure what relevancy it has to the subject of Keith Andrews.

Hey! We'd better all hope that Sam continues to pick him or there'll be b*gger all else to talk about on here!

heh, I just realized Keith Andrews may be going to the World cup while Ronaldo and/or Messi possibly miss out.

Now that really has made me smile. B)
