The Never Made It's

I never made it either, nor did my grandma!! :D

Just going back to the OP. Michael Reddy never played in Greenland or the Falklands. It's Wikipedia folks. Not always reliable!

Sorry Michael! Just an internet chat here in the dark days of 1st winter after the World Cup. Can't speak for the lads talking about you but no offense meant I'm sure.
So what have you been up to lately? And why do you refer to yourself in the third person? :bigsmile:

[Qwerty]

I really hope we're not talking about any of Stokes, James McCarthy, David Meyler, Greg Cunningham, Marc Wilson, Ciaran Clark, Seamus Coleman, Shane Duffy, Aaron Doran, Conor Clifford, Conor Henderson or Robbie Brady in this light in five years time. We have a very talented group of youngsters coming through, just hope they have more luck than their predecessors. All it takes is relegation, a bad transfer, or an injury. :(

Gibson, Garvan and O'Dea have been big disappointments recently. Still young, and will have decent careers at some level, but certainly haven't lived up to expectations.

Doran has gone on loan to ICT for the rest of the season.

Let's be honest and say that any player who becomes a premiership regular has made it. Look at how few English players play in most EPL teams, to have a guy like Coleman play is terrific.

Coleman reminds me a bit of Ray Houghton, he really surprised me with some real quality play against Chelsea on Saturday. But he has to be at 100% otherwise he would be very ordinary, the amount of effort he puts in is admirable.

I wish. Never got beyond a fairly mediocre level of Sunday morning games myself.
I just know someone who knows Reddy well, that's all. He was doing his coaching badges last I heard.

Hope Keane can keep going cos there are no strikers there.

I think with Best, Stokes and Long there is reasonable hope for the post-robbie period. None will likely be as good as him but with a stronger generation of midfield players behind them I'd be confident in us being able to score goals.

Robbie was scoring goals in a World Cup at 21. It'l be a while before we have that kind of talent up front again.
