TSQL Trigger Incorrect Syntax

Question

Im a SQL noob but here goes - I have a trigger in SQL which is giving me an incorrect syntax error E.G:

INSERT INTO aTable
 (
   tTypeId,
   opId,
   inserted.Id
 )
 SELECT 
  3,
  0,
  inserted.Id
FROM inserted, tblParents
WHERE inserted.blah = 308
   AND (
     inserted.type = 1
     AND((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[splitGUIDs] ([tblParents].[Parents]) 
            WHERE [inserted].[Id] IN ([dbo].[splitGUIDs].[item])) > 0 OPTION (maxrecursion 1000);
    )
   OR 
   (
     inserted.type = 2
     AND((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[splitGUIDs] ([tblParents].[Parents]) 
            WHERE [inserted].[Id] IN ([dbo].[splitGUIDs].[item])) > 0 OPTION (maxrecursion 1000);
   )

Each of the OPTION (maxrecursion 1000) causes an invalid syntax error - but they are required for the splitGUIDs function to work correctly. How can I resolve this syntax issue?
