Probably the Blarney Stone accent and dancing leprechaun demeanour.

In his favour he amuses me with his earnest Irish thing an that.

Really? Why's that?

Let us speak of him no more, I fear he watches us still.

I liked him. I realise he was hatstand crazy, and quite sinister and threatening, but he amused the shit out of me. I might go back and read those threads.

Wasn't ianc also the creator of the "brains trust" meme?

[Fussbudget]

OTF clubs you dislike more because of OTF

Yeah that's the one, I hadn't started posting on here when he was around but I remember his ramblings quite vividly.

I was particularly intrigued by his idea that the Guardian conspiracy to destroy Newcastle wasn't limited to the football club but extended to the whole city and every one of its inhabitants. Real bizarre, paranoid shit.

Unpleasant and threatening PMs, stalking members off board, accusing us all of being middle class, like a crazed version of Rugby Gooner.

I think his first incarnation was ianc, around the start of the season Newcastle spent in the Championship.

He started off with a hate campaign against the Guardian and then moved on to anyone who doubted Newcastle's financial stability and finally anyone who he perceived to have 'an education', going down all guns blazing as he lashed out indiscriminately at the "OTF clique". Think there may have been some unpleasant PMs floating about too.

A ridiculous person.

ok, and nice deflection of xenophobia.

Newcastle to an extent but that might just be the work of one (ex-)poster, and again they're pretty loathsome in the first place.

I think Wyatt Earp is still posting here, but under a different name.

Actually, I am so bad at remembering who supports which club that I get quite irritated when somebody writes in a way that presumes that everybody knows whom they support.

Anyway, of all the objectionable ex-poster this biard has seen, I can't think of any who supported Nerwcastle.

Sorry, what?

What?

'Put up with'? 'Deserved' is more like.

Harry, sorry, can you define what you mean, a little more succinctly?

*oh, and 'sinister'? don't be silly.

[Ray de Galles]

Yeah, I'm always asking for examples of where anyone (with the exception of maybe one regular) really crosses the line about England (and especially about "the English" which Ian's post to refers to rather too sinisterly) and don't get them.

I can understand if the sheer volume of ABE sentiment get's wearing (especially during tournaments) as opposed to the nature of it but, as this thread has shown, the Liverpool, Man U and even Spurs supporters on here put up with similar all year, every year.

And I also think the shit that is thrown on here about England is often thrown by English people anyway.

[Mr Beast]

I'm sorry you feel that way Ian, but I certainly don't think that was true during the last World Cup except from a tiny minority of posters.

Put it this way, I don't think it even matched the negative opinions expressed in WSC.

Absolutely spot on.

This place is an oasis of (relative) sanity in terms of football discussion on the web and, unless you were sat in a darkened room and only took your football debate from here, it's near impossible to see how it could influence your thinking on a club. For example, those Liverpool threads were just beserk, but they were mild in comparison with the insanity-fest that is RAWK.

Real Madrid, I think. No-one else has a dutiful ire, which wasn't patently obvious.

I didn't think you were around when he was, but yeah, he's the reason why I laugh at any Newcastle misfortune.

The way the club's misfortunes and dirty secrets get laughed about on here can't help but begin to diminish them in your eyes.

Failure was never part of the deal when you sign up to a BRC, is it?

Oh, and add me to the Bradford Park Avenue haters too. I'd always dislike them (trading off the name of a long defunct club like Accrington Stanley), but they didn't even get the name of the club right. Twats. But EIM's tales of General Fatbob put me completely off them. Just say no, kids.

Can't say anybody is that bad on here that it would cause me to actively dislike another club, bit of a weird idea really...

What Indysleaze said, aside from the Bradford PA aspect.
