Alex Moss 2,167 Posted February 22, 2020 What happened to this chap that posted on here daily for years until a few months ago, he seems to have disappeared into thin air? I know posters come and go on here, but he was a regular fixture, so I find it unusual. I know he had his spats on here, but was just wondering if anyone knows if he’s ok?

Nuff Said 5,960 Posted February 22, 2020 I was wondering the same thing. We normally know why most frequent posters who disappear have gone, but not with Bill. (And I’m not him just in case Indy suggests it again!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,959 Posted February 22, 2020 I'm not going to be hypocritical here - I can't say I miss him; he'd argue with a mirror if it looked at him funny. That said, I do hope that nothing bad has befallen him. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted February 22, 2020 After all the abuse he handed out to pro-Brexit posters and his gleeful assertions Brexit wouldn’t happen he woke up to find the election result had handed him a gigantic kick to the gonads. Like all bullies he slinked away to hide rather than face the consequences of his vile attitude to others on here. Not missed and hopefully it stays that way.

Daz Sparks 1,558 Posted February 22, 2020 I think Bill was banned before the GE and Brexit. Maybe his ban has expired and he has chosen not to return. As much as he was an irascible individual, I wish him no ill and would like to him post again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,167 Posted February 22, 2020 Didn’t really follow the Brexit thread, ironically the salvation of football was a nice escape from it, so didn’t see what Bill was up to on that thread. I didn’t get the impression he was a bad bloke or anything, was friendly enough to me, just like all of us I guess in that we all have our disagreements on here at times, I’d like to think that people can disagree and ‘banter’ without it really becoming anything more than that, it’s a place to debate what we all love after all! Except that squadie bloke that wanted to scrap everyone down Riverside because NCFC weren’t giving him free tickets or something haha 🤦🏻♂️. Anyway, I hope the blokes ok - we’ve lost a few of our more senior posters on here over the years, and if he wasn’t someone that interacted with other posters at the games/pub then I guess we’ll never know. At least with Wiz, one of his relatives came on here to let us know. He’s not the only one of course, Houston, Cluck, Jas the Barclay King, the chap from Colchester, all disappeared into oblivion too amongst others, hope they’re ok too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Let's not beat around the bush, he was a rancourous old sod. The Dennis Wise of the forum. I think many backed off from 'debates' because they could end up in pointless back and forth arguments. And he was on the same side as me on the brexit debate.(Which, although he called the ending wrong, he was pretty much spot on on the rest of it.)😀 Edited February 22, 2020 by Herman s c r o t e is banned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hillhead 114 Posted February 22, 2020 For his own sake hope he doesn’t return. Was getting himself way to wound up on the Brexit thread and crossed the line a couple of times. Was quite helpful with his streams mind you. Miss that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,959 Posted February 22, 2020 I did have the 'honour' of being told by him that I wasn't actually me but rather another poster pretending to be me (if that makes any sense). I never did find out who I was supposed to be. I was hoping I might turn out to be Ricardo; I'll probably turn out to be Nuff Said... OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the one, John - Cameldonum! Username was on the tip of my tongue. Don’t really know Jas other than from on here back in the day, and as I rarely use FB now, wasn’t aware, but pleased to hear that’s 1 of those mentioned accounted for!

The Bristol Nest 597 Posted February 22, 2020 He has been around for many years and never p1ssed me off. The embarrassment to the armed forces that was the oil rig bloke was the only t1t that I thought spoiled things although I wouldn't have banned him despite his offers to "meet for a pint".

Empty vessel. I think you’re thinking of Mark, if you met him for a pint you’ll find he’s a good bloke. The chap I’m thinking of wasn’t a regular, he came on a couple of times a few years back, was ex RAF or something and started some thread about not being able to get free tickets for ex servicemen when we were in the Premier League a while back or something. Funny he wasn’t interested during our Championship and League 1 days from memory. He was quite angry and confrontational to say the least when 1 or 3 posters took umbrage with his attitude, and basically just wanted a fight with everyone down Riverside who objected to his demands with a seriously bad attitude haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
