hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 So sad we can no longer see some of those classic threads. http://web.archive.org/web/20050524075153/http://saintschat.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=fc76510569fda8d73c623010864288d8
hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 That was the most nostalgic thing I've ever read. I added some because I forgot a few . Did there use to be a picture of you on a ship or did I dream that?
B Rabbit Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 You missed the incredible site that was saintsfun though, Mark loves Amy, b-anter, tubgirl, montys turban, ascoli, the farmer, Saint lee and his leaky plumbing, Javi and Saf, arcade games and that old thread about hooliganism that ended up with the site being monitored by the old bill (in the form of the poster Roger Beeks). You missed out! I put lots if time and photoshop effort into SaintsFun.... It was great....our football team sucked though.
hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 I put lots if time and photoshop effort into SaintsFun.... It was great....our football team sucked though. Do you remember the saints forever banner competition and then someone like cabbage face managed to sneak in the one that looked like a five year old drew it for Christmas? Fun times. Cabbage face was like an olden day Bearsy.
hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 A ship?! I don't remember that. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. My memory is hazy but then it was over a decade ago. Were you ever in the members gallery?
B Rabbit Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 Do you remember the saints forever banner competition and then someone like cabbage face managed to sneak in the one that looked like a five year old drew it for Christmas? Fun times. Cabbage face was like an olden day Bearsy. He is my friend IRL.... Strong, handsome and funny. There was a poster named HandsomeBoy.....he certainly wasn't handsome at all. i can't remember the banner...but I do remember we did a SaintsFun 'find the paver' competition which had me and essruu on it...still outside the front of st marys and no one has claimed the M&S vouchers prize yet!
hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 And there was that one guy who always wrote in orange for some reason... I cannot believe he still can be bothered to do that every time!
hypochondriac Posted 9 February, 2015 Posted 9 February, 2015 I think I may have been. Maybe you replaced the memory of that with a nice image of a ship. Was it cold and were you wearing a warm coat?
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You missed the incredible site that was saintsfun though, Mark loves Amy, b-anter, tubgirl, montys turban, ascoli, the farmer, Saint lee and his leaky plumbing, Javi and Saf, arcade games and that old thread about hooliganism that ended up with the site being monitored by the old bill (in the form of the poster Roger Beeks). You missed out! I was on SaintsForever and don't remember any of that apart from tub girl - that one is hard to forget...
B Rabbit Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 And there was that one guy who always wrote in orange for some reason... :-)
hypochondriac Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I was on SaintsForever and don't remember any of that apart from tub girl - that one is hard to forget... You clearly weren't paying attention Chris.
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You clearly weren't paying attention Chris. In my defence I'd probably been banned for squabbling. That and it was ten years ago, incredibly.
hypochondriac Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 In my defence I'd probably been banned for squabbling. That and it was ten years ago, incredibly. You were coxy boy weren't you?
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You were coxy boy weren't you? Possibly, I really can't remember.
hypochondriac Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Possibly, I really can't remember. Yeah think so. I remember your basil brush avatar.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Yeah think so. I remember your basil brush avatar. You're really having fun here, aren't ya?
Saint_clark Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I'd totally forgotten about those arcade games. Just when you thought this place couldn't take up more of your working time, someone pops up with that idea.
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You're really having fun here, aren't ya? I don't care what the rest say, having a stalker is quite flattering. If it goes bad though I'm telling Lou. She's a copper you know.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I don't care what the rest say, having a stalker is quite flattering. If it goes bad though I'm telling Lou. She's a copper you know. He's just nostalgia-ing. It's kinda funny to watch. Is she? Cripes, didn't realise that.
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 He's just nostalgia-ing. It's kinda funny to watch. Is she? Cripes, didn't realise that. Google her name. Like all the best detectives, I don't believe in coincidences.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Google her name. Like all the best detectives, I don't believe in coincidences. Do you google every one on here?
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Do you google every one on here? It was her idea! Check page four!
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 It was her idea! Check page four! Ah ok, missed that!
Coxford_lou Posted 10 February, 2015 Author Posted 10 February, 2015 He's just nostalgia-ing. It's kinda funny to watch. Is she? Cripes, didn't realise that. I'm not!
Griffo Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Haha, yeah that was always a benefit. No chance of that now I'm in Leyton. Happy to grab a drink next time I'm back over that way. He's just nostalgia-ing. It's kinda funny to watch. Is she? Cripes, didn't realise that. 'Grabbing' a drink and 'cripes'... You sure you live in Leyton? You sound like a Yank.
Patrick Bateman Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 'Grabbing' a drink and 'cripes'... You sure you live in Leyton? You sound like a Yank. I think he's Saints' very own Elijah Wood character?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 'Grabbing' a drink and 'cripes'... You sure you live in Leyton? You sound like a Yank. P sure that's where I got on the tube this morning. 'Spose, it's possible I live in Leyton and also be a 'Yank' (I'm not) I think he's Saints' very own Elijah Wood character? I'd be about as convincing a casual as him, that's for sure.
Smirking_Saint Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I was on SaintsForever and don't remember any of that apart from tub girl - that one is hard to forget... I wasnt on Saintsforever, only started on Saintsweb and quite early on I seem to remember getting into an arguement with SaintWill Back in the day SWF could be pretty hilarious, not to the levels of what I imagine SaintsForever was but still there was much more banter than on here these days

Smirking_Saint Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Saintsforever were good days of wasted work time, but still not a patch on the old Network 54 days, or Saintsfun, or B-anter. Was on B-anter for a bit, saw some **** on there that could never be unseen
ericofarabia Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Saintsforever were good days of wasted work time, but still not a patch on the old Network 54 days, or Saintsfun, or B-anter. Amen to that.
pap Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Nostalgia ain't as good as it used to be! Alternatively, people aren't very good at realising they're happy in the moment. Expect the same comments in seven years time about how 2015 SWF was the dogs bollócks and a golden age of posting, rar rar rar, etc.

It all went wrong when Keith was exposed as basically being employed by the club when Love was in charge.
the saint in winchester Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I wasn't planning to go to the games, bit of a rush after work for evening games ... but if Coxford Lou is still attending, it would be good to put a face to the name.
Turkish Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I think he's Saints' very own Elijah Wood character? Kelvin is more of a Louis Spence type character
Turkish Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You could get away with a lot more on SaintsForever but it was a much smaller site. It all went wrong when Keith was exposed as basically being employed by the club when Love was in charge. In the early days Keith used to actually encourage it, it was only When the delicate flower masses discovered the forum around the time of our cup final season that it all went tits up with their seating plans, what name are you getting on your shirt threads and general other nonsense Place became a lot more PC then and any joking or p*ss taking was forbidden. I remember getting a PM from someone who will remain nameless warning me if I didn't stop taking the p*ss out of Steve grant they would make my life hell. When I asked her what exactly was going to do she never replied. I thought it all turned sour for Keith when a few people got jealous about him being invited on a preseason trip to Sweden with Wilde? He seemed to be getting used a bit by Wilde to get the fans on side. Of course that was the start of all the fan on the board era and the nauseating nudge nudge, 'i can't say too much' ITK threads from the likes of UM pahars as the power struggle escalated between SISA, the saints trust and the various other wannabe FOTBers. That really was the golden era of m-boards. Shame what happened to Keith he was/is a good lad, not seen him for years and didn't deserve the grief he got in the end
Bearsy Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I remember getting a PM from someone who will remain nameless warning me if I didn't stop taking the p*ss out of Steve grant they would make my life hell. When I asked her what exactly was going to do she married me

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Kelvin is more of a Louis Spence type character Nah, I've got two left feet. Can't dance to save my life.
Turkish Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Nah, I've got two left feet. Can't dance to save my life. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Get you xxxxxxxxx

The problem with that was - and I know because I was working for the club at the time - that it was at the expense of people that should have been there. I wasn't one of them by any means, before you ask...! Then there was a pre-season friendly (away to a team like Bristol City I think?) where we had a trialist and we weren't allowed to guess who it was. When someone did figure it out, Keith deleted the posts.

LGTL Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I remember first joining Saintsforever when I was still at school, some 11 years ago! The subsequent years on that, TSF, B-anter and now Saintsweb have been pretty enjoyable. Whatever happened to Javi, is he still off stalking new signings? Was it Roger Beeks who always started those luncheon threads, who found out he was a copper in the end? Some of the sections on the old website were comedy gold, espeically remember some about a bloke called steve who loved america, used to post for fun but not seen him around for years. Good times.
pap Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Does anyone else appreciate the irony of the defunct site SaintsForever?
hypochondriac Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 You work in PR dont you? When did you leave? We're you the loser in the power struggle with Jordan Sibley for the Cortese lap dog post? Working for the club in 2005? I don't think so!
CB Fry Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Have to say my personal favourite golden era was Help me Rhondda/LifeLongSaint/Barry the Briefcase (someone please put the photo up) and Saintlee's ITK takeover epic fail. I got invited to one of (possibly the first) meetings that Saintlee organised for that, but couldn't go. I can't actually remember who Lee's contact actually was - was it our favourite photocopier salesman? Or someone else?

SaintsFC UK rings a bell, with david beckham getting involved
Dr Who? Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Nostalgia ain't as good as it used to be! Alternatively, people aren't very good at realising they're happy in the moment. Expect the same comments in seven years time about how 2015 SWF was the dogs bollócks and a golden age of posting, rar rar rar, etc. Like supporting Saints. I cannot for the life of me believe that supporters are not enjoying games. This is where we are, if you cannot enjoy watching Saints at the moment, you never will.
