[Robot Chicken]

Welcome back London Irish! Also happy birthday Kevin Ticehurst's boyfriend!

 

[Blackadder]

what have you got against Unhappo?

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Is he back for good then?
I just wanted to ask him if his prediction that Yeovil would not get into the playoffs cam true or not?!!!

 

[Les Biehn]

Is he back for good then?

God I hope not.

 

[Yorkie]

Somebody reads Nsc and Penguin gets all excited.

 

[algie]

God I hope not.

You really don't like him do you

 

[Les Biehn]

Somebody reads Nsc and Penguin gets all excited.

He probably introduced them.

 

[Les Biehn]

You really don't like him do you

Can't stand him.

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

Well done. He only came back to make sure that we were still talking about him. And now we are!

We talked about LI leaving NSC for longer than we talked about McGoo leaving the club.

 

[Lokki 7]

Like him or hate him, the board is worse off without his contribution.

 

[Les Biehn]

Like him or hate him, the board is worse off without his contribution.

Why?

 

[Lokki 7]

Why?

Because he had opinions and was prepared to explain and argue them in an adult manner. That created discussion, conflict and interest and I think that is probably the most important aspect of a message board. Alright so he could be a condecending arse sometimes but he only did it to get on peoples nerves, and many of those people probably deserved it. As I say, like him or hate him he was interesting to read and he always provoked debate and response.

I concur.

He did provoke debate and response, he was prepared to explain his opinions. The trouble was he wasn't willing to listen to anyone elses, he would lie to win an argument, he passed off his own opinions as fact while ripping into anyone else who did the same and generally didn't seem to understand the tactical side of football.

Yet for some strange reason he is held in high regard by a minority on here. Mainly those that never disagreed with him or only came on the board after he started modifying his behaviour.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Apart from his annoying insistence on having the last word, he was OK. Shit judge of the game / tactics/ players he was watching mind you, but no worse than any other of the non-cognoscenti.

Still, at least we're all talking about him, eh? NSC's answer to Julie Burchill. Talked bolleaux, but talked it ENTERTAININGLY and left the crowd wanting more. Bless.

 

[Les Biehn]

It just stuns me that people like Lokki and Doug, who I generally regard as two of the more intelligent posters on here, were unable to see the disengenuous bullshit that guy would slip into his posts, masquerading it as the truth.

I would suggest it is in fact a majority.
(No, please don't start a poll)

I'm not so sure, I know a lot of people who really were fed up with being talked to like a piece of shit by that bloke.

 

[dougdeep]

It didn't matter if it was the truth or bullshit, it sparked discussion. So much better that the "Would You?" type of thread we seem to get so much of these days.

Maybe we did see it for what it was but enjoyed it, and the response it got. As I said, he made the board more interesting. Unlike some, I do not take internet message boards too seriously.
