Godzilla Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Some of you may recall at the back end of last year I launched a new sports blogging website called thetalkofsport.com, which includes a blog with our very own Christian Ribeiro. Well, this week we've produced another new entry in which he talks about his time at Colchester and Stockport and the general pros and cons of being a professional footballer out on loan. Evidently, it's far from glamorous! Visit thetalkofsport.com - or Click Here to read Christian's blog. All the athletes are both enthusiastic and articulate (you will have found this out about Christian already) and - I think - it's well worth the read. So please join the mailing list if you'd like to receive updates when one of the athletes produces a new entry, and perhaps even send in a question. Thanks.

August West Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sounds like a genuinely nice guy who deserves to succeed. And of course, as soon as he got injured, they started conceding goals again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Always speaks a good game - really hope it works out for him with us because he's a truly nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsobigfatdave Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Aye, always very articulate and obviously a mark above your average Footballer in the intelligence stakes. Perhaps thats why GJ wont try him ...he doesnt understand what he is saying toomany multisyllabic words My mate bigfatjohn (no relation) from nearby rivals Southend rekons there was a rumour that Colchester actually wanted to buy him. he could do a lot worse and it might be a stepping stone for his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I really look forward to the day that Ribeiro is a regular feature in our team, because from the times i've seen him he looks like a fantastic prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his goal ultimately is still to break into that Bristol City first team, which, if he continues playing well in League One, is not completely out of the question before the season is up.
