Old posters.

Does anyone remember that Scot's lad, from Aberdeen I think, who used to post on here about 4/5 years ago. He was a Mackem supporter but a good laugh with banter until he'd had a bit over the top to drink.

You mean Slim, Pat?

Slimfella was the bloke Pat.

Ended up on here when he was driven off his board by 5 and his ilk. Couldn't bare any of their fans having a civil-ish discussion with Toon fans.

Yes that's the lad, Slimfella. He was the best Mackem follower to post on here to my mind but he also loved Aberdeen.

You could have banter with him long into the night but I think he stopped posting on here following a drawn out altercation with one of our own (can't recall who).

It's a pity he stopped because you could have a level headed debate about us v Muckem with him.

Anyone from here remember any others from other clubs. There were a few West Ham lads at times, some of them I used to chat with on their board.

That's sad, where did you here that Pboro.

Yeah, I remember Slimfella. He had some good craic and was also prone to some off the wall rants like we can all do.
A strong minded fella but also an emotional one iirc.

I think he got banned along with the Wolfy character in the off topic section that used to be part of this forum and was great for banter and the odd tit for tat digs that caused no harm.

I used to laugh like hell at some of the posts on here and especially in the off topic section.
There was some great debates as well, even if some did get a bit heated.
There's been some right wind up's but all in all 99% of it all was as funny as hell and made the board a bustling board, regardless of some people claiming it was offending them.

It takes all sorts to make a thriving forum of any description and that's why football forums should always have a general section as well as the football section, so that people can have alternate discussions to the football, if they so wish.

Some great times, those and I'm sure many will agree, who were part of them.

I agree with you there about the O/T section. It's a great pity it couldn't be reintroduced. It would be of more use and better appreciated by posters than that waste of space thing Footy Mad's Toon News.
