Jack Barrett is a strange one in that he’s never been our No1 goalkeeper at u21 level but we’ve given him a few “ one year extensions” to his contract. This move is likely to be to resurrect his career in Canada by finding his next team . Good luck to him , hope it works out in Canada for him. Keeps us uptodate if you can .
Had a great day Blue. Watched the match with my 2 nephews (very pleased with the performance if not the result) and had a very enjoyable afternoon and evening afterwards. Found some great places I've never been to before. I am most definitely not sober
Not sure Jack will get much playing time, the team Cavalry FC have probably the best goalie in the league at the moment, unless there are plans to moving Marco out, he’s the team captain also
God bless
Everton FC are Ambassadors for the Charity.
Cheers for that, I didn’t realise he had one of Canada’s best keepers ahead of him, I assumed he would be first choice. It’s an odd one, we have two younger goalkeepers out on loan in England’s National League and National League North , which is part time , but both play every week. A great experience for him but a puzzling move unless he gets a contract with Calvary.
Hi bro.
Too late to edit the message but delighted to see Everton FC are listed as supporters of the Charity's Ambassadors of Hope.I just read an excellent article in the new bi-monthly Conversations which is a new publication launched to mark the 800th anniversary of the arrival of the Dominicans , or the Order of Preachers, in Ireland.
It is written by Michael Ford, an author and theologian living in London, and is entitled Chasing the Stigma of Mental Illness - A Comedian's Journey from Despair to Hope.
Jake Mills, from St Matthew's Parish, Walton, was a stand-up comedian who away from the public eye, was deeply depressed, and ultimately came close to taking his own life.
Thank God, he was stopped in time by his then girlfriend Rachel and went on, as he recovered, to set up 'Chasing the Stigma'.
You might like to see the website https://www.chasingthestigma.co.uk/about/#:~:text=Chasing the Stigma is a,and wherever they need it.
and ...... Jake is a huge Evertonian!!
Ford writes 'Jake says it was his brain rather than his heart which would tell him how to feel, whether watching his beloved Everton football team; listening to music, or chatting to close friends. He was living inside a bubble which, at the time, nobody recognised, least of all himself. 'There was a disconnect with everything. A numbness. Just nothing there...where was my life going? It was a caiuldron of not feeling well and not doing something about it at an early stage'.
Jake founded Chasing the Stigma and is now happily married to Rachel with two children. The charity is now one of the most successful mental health charities in the UK.
On eof the charity's key aims is to encourage people who may be suffering in silence to realise that they don't need to feel isolated in their loneliness. There is always someone who can help. Ten years ago Jake didn't know where to turn to for professional understanding.
'My story was not unusual but, once people heard it , it was enough for them to get in touch. That was when I realised the power of lived experience and the power of hope.....No matter how lonely or isolated you feel, you are never alone'.
I am also posting this in Groucho's Depression thread.
God bless all you Blues!!
Yes I am good.
Good man.
