Baird query

[HatterDon]

I've been away from the site since Thursday evening or so. Today was the second Fulham match in a row that Baird has missed for "personal reasons." Any idea of what those might be?

I hope he's fit and ready for Swansea. I'd start him with Etuhu. He's not the best center mid, but he's a great passer of the ball, and we'll need that against a VERY good footballing side.

[Me-ate-Live, innit??]

Lets hope he plays and he scores another one like this

Chris Baird's goal against Cardiff

Why has he missed the last two games? I know they say personal reasons but what is the reason.

[HatterDon]

I know there's only one post in each thread, but could somebody combine this thread with the one I started earlier?

Thanks.

Could be all manner of things - splitting up with missus, been caught drink/driving, tested positive for banned substance, death/illness in the family, had a big one with Jol and is at home on gardening leave, the list goes on.

He has had trouble with his family and sectarianism in NI in the past, maybe that has flared up again?

[Peabody]

If it is "personal reasons", why do we need to know?

There were some talk about a child birth on the telly yesterday. Said he didn't travel to Twente because it was about to happend...

[HammyH3]

If you remember his mother's house was the subject of a sectarian attack a few weeks back.
Perhaps that has started up again.
Come back soon Bairdinio.

Absolutely, what part of personal is not understood?

While I agree with the sanctity of personal reasons, I think people are just caring about Bairdinho and wanting to know that everything is ok, rather than prying.

That's certainly why I asked the question.

[Berserker]

Yes i'm concerned about him, also must admit i'm abit of a nosy person as well though

[Burt]

Regardless...best wishes to him...it will be good to see him back.

I have never seen a player go from Zero to Hero like he has

And all because of a good run in the Europa two years ago

Who says it is a waste of time
