Floyd Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I know we lost Tom Wilson (Scotts brother) about 10 years ago. Must still be a few on that list (Geoff obviously) who still post here. But like I say, it was very early days in '96 ... and then once-working class people got internet in the house a few years later, it was all downhill after that. Just kidding !... I joined in late 90's early 2000's if I recall correctly, took a bit of a sabbatical around 2008 until 2011, due to my daughter being born and a change in job. Was good to see reading this thread from the start, that I had been remembered though from my early days on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgey55 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Been a member since '97 when the server was doon more than it was up! Off the top of my head, the engrossing threads over the years:- Ruud Gullit was getting i a taxi at the Balmoral. Someone mentioned it on here, and I told the nation on Real Radio footy phone in! Loads of people fell for it! IJ's (the REAL IJ) shaking with rage thread Guildford Jambo being outed was another peach I was glued to the Irvine Jambo thread too. Was up till all oors. Some sterling work from Therapist on that one! The None / Badger / Beattie media threads went way over my heid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Guildford Jambo being outed was another peach a modern day classic, which is still in the JKB archive The recent saga of the Wales v Belgium 1993 DVD was outstanding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember him briefly sobering up and his posts became more sensible/readable only for xmas to come round and he was back on it! Got wife bud u?

Sharpie Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Some old names coming up, I first heard Kickback around 1998 when I first became internetted, I went to a web page called Far From Gorgie, the page was started by Willie Duff. As it was U.S based I asked if he had ever heard of a man with the same name, his instant response, thats my Dad. I was able to talk to Bill senior whom I had been good friends with in school days. I then went on to Kickback and have been addicted to it in its many forms since. David Gillespie was a character, so was a guy named Sigmund. He could really upset the wee team fans who came on the forum, sadly he died under tragic circumstances. It was good in the early days. Its still good but different, threads like the one today dealing in swimming pools, racism, are too much for me to translate. I am never sure if it is genuine opinion or just an attempt to troll. It can at times be amusing, but when it becomes nasty and insulting the interest for me wanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:shitwine: Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 How did that Gyildford jambo get Outed in the end? The artist currently known as I Just Came To Say Kello set the trap by asking if he sat in row 40 of the Wheatfield stand, and WUMford fell right into it. "I won't disclose my exact location, but it is between rows 35-40." His back-pedalling by saying that he oesnt know his row, and that he just counts backwards from the top was just more fuel to the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Some of the excellent reads ended up in the (predictable) banning of various posters.... I may try to resurrect the Facebook thread in the Shed (as long as the usual tossers don't come along and ruin it like last time). Just had a friend announce on FB that her husband had decided to stop his chemo because it was not going to help, and along with 50 replies, there are 2 "Likes" (WTF?). Resurrect 'my' Facebook thread(s)... There were actually two started...but they both got the same treatment in the end Edited June 4, 2012 by Ray Winstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Agree there should be a little less of the thread closing and post removing. I doubt many of the classics would have been achieved nowadays. Mind you, the first sign of a potential classic becoming a damp squib is the "This thread is going into the classics..." post on the first page. Guaranteed flop after that.

Randle P McMurphy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is taken from a hard-copy email I have, dated 18th Dec 1996. A few well-kent current faces in there ... These were the Kickback contributors to the 500 Club scheme we organised at that time. I'd forgotten that we requested a *minimum* amount of ?12.50 per head ... but by the end we'd raised ?625. All agreed that the extra ?125 should go to the Hearts Youth Development Fund. I'm sure we've inevitably lost a couple of people below to the grim reaper (RIP). And many just moved on as Kickback evolved into a bigger beast. But I'm sure that many others still post here under whatever alias... Shout out if you recognise yourself or someone you know in the 1996 Kickback list !

kevinref Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 The moment of truth went something like this: "I've played against this guy in six-a-sides in Edinburgh and I can confirm that he's absolute gash. There's no way he ever played for Carlisle." What developed from there was a thing of beauty think it started with trying to raise a team and he come on and said he played wi carlisle, sooperstar says he played wi the guy with gorgie hearts,( well being with gorgie since the beginning i was interested in this) and in this one game he beat an opponent and stopped and looked at the touchline as if to say "what about that then" when the opponent took the ball right off him,the touchline/players and me being the ref in this game,litterly fell about laughing, the game was against edinburgh deaf school if i remember correctly, the guy never started or finished a whole game for gorgie hearts in all the years of gorgie hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
