Andy Reid must wonder how closely his career is being followed within the Football Association of Ireland after learning that the notice recalling him to the national squad last week was sent to his former club Tottenham Hotspur.

He joined Charlton this summer but the FAI sent his call-up notice along with Robbie Keane's to Spurs, who passed it to his current employers. Ireland play qualifiers in Cyprus on Saturday and against the Czech Republic in Dublin four days later but Reid will miss the first to work on his fitness in London after a hamstring injury from which he returned at the weekend.

It's not the administrative error that's the worry; it's the recall. Boom, boom.

Someone should double-check those fixtures for them.

I can imagine them turning up at Windsor Park for a home match by accident.

There was a piece in the Fiver last week which said that the FAI were the only football suits who made the English FA look good... I think that said it all really.
