Although i don't really care too much, I would have thought that there would be something in the discipline code covering public comments however they are made. As the Clubs Head of Communications* perhaps Airman** knows what the players can and can't say and whether they receive any media / communications training.
If I made comments like that about my employer on Twitter I'd be sacked for breach of contract - why don't the same rules apply to Kyle Reid? Perhaps he should grow up and learn to work on his own weaknesses first before attacking others.

Does he recognise his weaknesses or if he does, does he even consider them important?
might be in the minority here, but I really don't think he's had a fair crack of the whip with us....10 mins here and there. People expect him to produce every time he gets the ball, which is never going to be the case for a winger.
I'll admit I don't know what he does / how he looks in training.....
Personally I like him and would like to see him stay, I'm baffled he can't even make our bench at the moment.

In this way all those whose blood pressure seems to be going through the roof will be a lot healthier.

He showed enough last season to suggest he is well above the league 1 average- having said that he hasn't been fancied this season by Parky or Powell - has to be a reason for that and the blame probably has to go to the player.
I think the fact he's never very lasted long at any club tells it's own story.
Undoubtedly has a degree of talent somewhere but I suspect his attitude is getting in the way of his career going anywhere. Don't expect to be seeing him in a Charlton shirt again either.

[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]Out of all the players we've have passed through our revolving door in recent years, Kyel Reid is probably the one who has frustrated me the most.
The fella should have walked the player of the year vote this season, in fact he should have been in the running for the Division's player of the year. As it stands, he won't even get a look in in our top five, which is unbelievable when you consider how mediocre some of the others are.
The opening game against Bournemouth showed exactly what Reid can do on form. We've probably seen only the merest snatches of it since.
People say don't read their stuff, but i'm sick to death of underperforming players airing their dirty laundry in public. Whilst his team mates are playing as well is particularly low in my eyes. You either have it out with the manager, or you say nothing.
This twittering crap has got to stop, the sooner the players return to messaging private groups like they used to, the better for everyone.
This. I don't know how people can defend him. Unbelievable.
This.
I don't generally go in for attacking our own, but when they do things like this they really have to realise that they're doing themselves no favours whatsoever.
Out of order, but why is he being allowed to Twitter from the bench? His mobile phone should be switched off from stepping off the team bus until the post match teamtalk has finished, imo.
[cite]Posted By: Dan C 4[/cite]Do you think this would have happened if Curbs was the manager??
Doubt it very much..
Who the **** cares? Anyway, yes, he was a good manager but he wasn't perfect, I'm sure there were players he fell out with and froze out of the squad, it happens everywhere.

BTW, Exiled, he wasn't in the matchday squad
Good point, I really should have known that as I was at the match!
Curbs fell out with a lot of players which sent out a clear message to the others that if they crossed the line, it would be hard for them to get back into favour. This approach seemed to work ok for him on balance. If Reid tweeted something innapropriate from the bench - that would be it as far as I was concerned - out on his ear.
Comments
I think its fairly safe to assume that wouldn't have been printed but someone who lacks this kind of awareness will lack it in all situations.
* Or Matt
What's do Airman then?
Cheers for putting me straight AFKA
Reid is more two bob.

Not least cos ruddy Twitter didn't exist.
Back in Curbs day, Alexander Graham Bell was still considered cutting-edge !
