The Kraken Posted 22 June, 2013 Posted 22 June, 2013 In light of the other thread running. Which posters did you used to enjoy on here, but don't any more? Apparently there are lots, so lets have a list. For me, only a couple: 19 Canteen, a fantastic loony; and StuRomseySaint, a poor old soul but capable of causing an e-riot on here. You?
The Kraken Posted 22 June, 2013 Author Posted 22 June, 2013 Windmill arms2A separate thing, but Channon Jnr's Windmill Diaries were a classic.

You? 19c was alright actually. Sponsored me to run the new York marathon.
The Kraken Posted 22 June, 2013 Author Posted 22 June, 2013 19c was alright actually. Sponsored me to run the new York marathon. I think he sponsored SRS a ton for his Brighton ultimate marathon too. A generous man, but still a loony.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 22 June, 2013 Posted 22 June, 2013 DrZuess1979 the 2nd..... Gifted him my 2010 saints shirt and he never poste again
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 June, 2013 Posted 22 June, 2013 Dune.... Oh he still posts...... Delldays....... Crap I give up
LGTL Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Saintscottofthenortham Was he the one that got lamped at a game and was never seen on here again?
Turkish Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Was he the one that got lamped at a game and was never seen on here again? That's him, used to get a bit upset when reminded of it and disappeared off here.
SuperSAINT Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Navy-Saint (or Navy-Red) Can't remember his name - Used to post really good reports on the youth team games.
Gemmel Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Did we ever find out who Left Back was? Certainly the closest person to the inner circle since Cortese arrived.
Jonnyboy Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Did we ever find out who Left Back was? Certainly the closest person to the inner circle since Cortese arrived. Franny Benali surely?
lloydie Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Didnt enjoy their postings much, didnt dislike them either but i rember a few posters such as buzzin orn, saf and berkshire saint all contributed a lot then dissappeared. One poster that was decent was gecko, designed the shirts we wore but havent seen him in a while... Thought he was the9 for a while with his shirt geekery!

bridge too far Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 I miss them as well. St. landrew sorted out my 'puter quite afew times in the old days. He's a nice man

Badger Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 St Marc Wasn't he at his most active around the time of the Paul Allen takeover, c2007 ?
Badger Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Javi FACT I know he would regularly be mercilessly slated on here, or on Saintsforever, but I always thought him quite an interesting poster, who would put forward a good case for his own view (even if others disagreed.). Okay, the De Pedro saga, mihght have riled a few people, but I never understood the level of flak he received, if for the posts alone.

Okay, the De Pedro saga, mihght have riled a few people, but I never understood the level of flak he received, if for the posts alone. Here are three aspects that tell part of the story: 1) the scapegoat factor - bullying behaviour intensifies when people smell blood; 2) the xenophobic factor - you might blame Fawlty Towers for this one!; 3) the tribal factor - some posters seemed to dislike his perceived presumptuousness (his "foreign" intensity and serious passion for the club ran counter to their banter-based, clannish insularity). As I say, that's only part of the story, but - as another "outsider" - that seemed to me to underpin some of the negativity.

You've become a little TOO Canadian, HS. There's a group of us who think its time you and take your unpopular views and move on.

He was often misunderstood, not so much for what he had to say but for the way he put his views across. As English is not his mother tongue, he often chose his words/sentences in a style that came across as presumptuous.

There's a group of us who think its time you and take your unpopular views and move on. My friends and I at university had a remark we used at least once a day: "I resemble that remark!"

Non-locals would find the intense level of irony and ****-taking on here difficult to interpret much of the time.
pressingon Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 This thread is a timely reminder of some posters and their saints related histories. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?36351-Who-are-You
Fowllyd Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Did we ever find out who Left Back was? Certainly the closest person to the inner circle since Cortese arrived. I thought he was Dave Jones - the erstwhile financial director that is, not the eponymous ex-manager. I hope the mods will forgive me if this post is libellous or naughty in any way.
Fowllyd Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Scoobie. I really watned to meet him. Scooby (please forgive the MLG-style pedantry) was hilarious, not least in his ability to wind up those who took him seriously.
Ohio Saint Posted 23 June, 2013 Posted 23 June, 2013 Come to think on it, when St. Landrew and the other mods of that era were dismissed for some kind of new system, the trolls started riding in like a wave of Mongolians.
