Cheers Thai, after seeing Mc. with his head in his hands i thought "I wonder what he's thinking", I like many others had no idea his dad had died, just thought that some of your guys would come up with some amusing quotes to lighten up your board, which to be honest has been full of doom and gloom.
Don't worry Monarch - a lot of us didn't know and in fact I brought up the same subject shortly before you did on another thread. Still enjoying life in sunny Spain I see. Nice to see you back on here - whilst I agree with your point about doom and gloom we have also had some interesting debates on far wider issues and your views on here are always welcome. Talking of doom and gloom we don't see a lot of dear old Mikey these days and despite his early efforts the Col U board on not606 seems to have died. Has he taken his Moses style predictions and facts elsewhere?
Yes, good to see you Monarch. Realised your comments were made without knowledge of what had happened to McNally Snr. Old Mikey is now moderator for the Colchester board on Sports262. He is kept busy keeping the two contributors in order, and has little time for anything else!
I never saw what Monarch did to upset Carra Rud on our old "Snakepit" site, he got banned from there, all I can think that it was for was some (most) of his jokes are a bit old! . Sediously, I never had a problem with Monarch, I found him interesting and always polite and helpful!
Hi bors, I endorse those who speak up for Monarch. Just because he has the misfortune to support Colchester doesn't mean he hates Norwich. In fact he has said in the past that Norwich would be his second club. He obviously thought his remarks were topical and didn't want to provoke unpleasantness. How many times have we unknowingly put our own foot in our mouth. Hasta luego Monarch.
Quite apart from anything else, three or four years ago wasn't he was the prime mover behind our putting our mutual wumming aside and getting together to help that Suffolk children's hospice appeal?
Robbie that started as a bet between Mikey and Logan on who would finish higher in the league, think Logan put up a tenner and challenged Mikey to put up 200 Quid. This i belive was after our first day win at your place, Mikey eventually took the bet and i covered a hundred of it, i did suggest that the losers choose the charity who would get the money,i nominated the Childrens Hospice thinking it was going to be 200, however, this was picked up on several sites and just took off,i think the final total was over 2 grand. After Brechin City, your my 3rd team.
Monarch. Does Brechin also explain your user name then? I don't think there are many glens around Colchester or in Spain for that matter. "Monarch of the Rambla" doesn't have quite the same romance to it!
My dad was from Dundee and my uncle from Brechin, my cousin was a Brechin supporter and took me to my first ever football match, so always had a soft spot for them. Think their nickname is the Yo Yo's, up and down between div.2 and div3.
Probably disagreed with something he posted, think at the time there was a gang of 3 who were like the yellow mafia, I'm pretty sure Carrabuh was one of them, he got the hump when i called him Carrabo. Apart from that i cant think why i was blacklisted.
There's an old saying which is " Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes, by which time you're a mile away and have his shoes, so f**k him "
I don't think you can be that sure Monarch so please don't associate my name to banning orders. I have no recollection to ever asking for people to be kicked off any site. I'm the last person who wants people kicked off.The only things I really object to are slap heads, swearing constantly and people telling others to support other clubs because they disagree with them..
