Lofty was a brilliant, passionate poster who kept getting himself banned, but isn't he now Upsetter?

SHHHHH don't tell everyone that - they'll start picking on him!

Dorset!  Yes!  His articles were very good (I suspect he was a journalist).  But I always wished he would engage a bit more with other posters.

I agree, although I think his posts were probably too well-written and insightful to have come from a newspaper journalist...

 
The thing that irritated me slightly about Dorset was that he had to create a new thread for his posts - it always made me feel that he thought himself superior as he wouldn't deign to engage on other threads.  "my word is so important and better than any one else's that it always merits its own thread" type of thing and "I won't bother commenting on what you say because it's beneath me".

But maybe I read to much into it.

Will do! Your memory is ridiculous. He is now a French teacher in Leicestershire and writes for a movie website called Jump Cut.

Last time we went to a game together was our controversial win at Cardiff late last season, when Azpi scored an offside goal and RLC got an injury time winner.

If you noticed an old man asleep at the back of the stand that day, it was my dad  :laugh2:

 
Lofty and Dorset were true blues.

As were Tea Bar Boy, Blakie, Gemma, and Lauren and Billy. 

Gone but not forgotten.

Oh and Pauly.

Tea Bar Boy is llving with his girlfriend in Australia.  He posts lots of photos on Facebook!  Lauren too is on Facebook and posts lots of pictures of her huge motorbike!

 
Both Tea Bar and Gem pop by still I think.

 
@Valerie  Do you miss Mishkow?  I don't think that's how you spell his name.  Young Polish boy who kept threatening to visit you!!

Another youngster I do miss is Soulo.  He had a lot going for him.  Very bright kid @Soulo

While he is undoubtedly a very good writer with a great love of the club, one thing I noticed is that the majority of his articles/posts argued one of three things:

- The press/FA are bastards

- Back the manager

- Play the kids

Was he the one whose Mum said he sounds like Jim Morrison? Very kind-hearted lad, he sent me a postcard once. I think I still have it somewhere, will see if I can find it.

Edit: I think his username was @Mikstaw - as I never read anything properly the first time I initially assumed his monicker was 'Milkstraw'!

YES  Mikstaw.  He drove Val mad.  He was in about fourth year at school and his English teacher was German.  He told me his English teacher spoke better English than I did!!!!

Is there anything else to write about?

Plenty of great posters over the years.

Another great poster that comes to mind and hasn't been mentioned yet is @Chippy. Loved reading all his posts, but he stopped posting after Mourinho was sacked in December 2015.

The other day I saw Mourinho in an advert for Paddy Power, an online gambling site. Can be really be that hard up??

@Chippy was smashing. Please come back!!!
