[Dotsy]

Just a heads up that the Sports Files tonight on RTE 2 at 8:00pm is the 1998 U16 Euro finals win.

[Reality Bites]

Watched it last nite, did anyone catch Kerr at the end, back then he had a huge belly on him, and man the walk it was unreal heavy footed and from side to side (Charlie Chaplin), he looked like an overweight groundsworker, he really has brushed up on the image thing, with his pin-striped suits etc..

Jim Goodwin plays with Stockport, where he's doing quite well, apparently. He played one full international match under McCarthy, came on against Finland in that 3-0 win after the World Cup.

Should'n that be John Thompson not David, if so he's still at Notts Forrest
Graham Barrett is at Shef Wed (loan)
McGill is at Carlisle
McMahon is at Orient
Byrne played a few games for Dublin City last year, not in non-league in England

Was amazed to see how much weight both Reid and Foy have put on.

Thompson was the only player in the squad not to get a game in the Romania-Nigeria-Jamaica series of games. He got one cap for coming on against Canada in the same game Andy Reid made his debut.

Jonathan Douglas seemed to be breakin' in to the Blackburn 1st team last year - what's happened? Haven't heard anything in a while...

Not fancied by Mark Hughes, he is on loan at Gillingham until the end of season. Has been very influential in an upturn in form of the Gills.

He joined Gillingham on loan til the end of the season (aswell as another Blackburn player). He got MOM in his debut against Leeds.

From Gills message board:
In the 23 years of supporting the Gills i don't think i have seen two loan players have a bigger impact than the Blackburn lads. It's easy to get carried away with the recent run of exceptional form, but these two lads have shown they are two quality players.

foy is playing for monaghan united now.
he was at forest. though that may have been forest gateaux considering the weight he has on now!

Good to hear. Wasn't Douglas called up to a senior squad a few months ago? He must be the first Monaghan player in a senior squad for decades.

Shock Horror....

Andy Reid was skinny..... :eek: :eek:

Loved the floppy hair though :rolleyes:

[Stuttgart88]

Andy Reid was skinny..... :eek: :eek:
I know! I remember thinking he had loads of skill but he'd struggle to make it because he was way too small. Little did we know...

He was the baby of the team - only 15.

How many times did Hamilton refer to O'Shea-Goodwin as the future Celtic centre half pairing ?
