Just a suggestion for a potential article. We have had a few players in the academy over the years who looked like they might make it with us but sadly didn't.

Players like Ryan Mcloughlin spring to my mind, and I remember Ed001 being quite high on Jerome Sinclair.

Could do a sort of a where are they now update, what made them talented, why they didn't make it and what sort of future do you see for them.

Anyway just a suggestion, as always keep up the great work Eds.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I have added that to the to do list.}

I remember Mcloughlin, OP> I daw him play in the U. S during BR's first preseason and he had a belter. He was phenomenal. And then, nothing. I know he went to Barnsley a few years ago. Does anyone know what he is doing now? If he is still playing football?

Whats the snorkelling like?

{Ed001's Note - I have never done that but it should be good as they do have a lot of diving going on during the winter. No good during the summer though as the sea is too hot really then.}

Ryan use to live 5 mins from me in belfast. Still see him the odd time in the same barbers in Andersonstown. He's been pranked so much every time he's home its not even funny anymore. Still a great guy and loves a joke.

{Ed0333's Note - pranked in what way?

Tell my to bugger off and stop being nosy eds1 if you want but why did you move to Dubai?

{Ed001's Note - quick version is I picked up a liver infection while already ill and it left me a bit of a mess, I kept constantly getting sick afterwards and the doctor told me I needed more sun and sea air would be good too. So I ended up here with year round sun and no longer spend my entire life sick.}

Cheers Ed001 mate. I probably don't interact enough on here, but just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the site.

Seriously, it's part of a daily routine for me and many others I'm sure.

It's often said that football is an escape for some people, and I definitely get lost in it.

This site offers a similar escape, so again, just wanted to say thanks to you, the other eds and all the contributers here.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - thank you very much mate. I am really glad it can be that as it was for me when we started it.}
