CAPSLOCK COLIN was a regular on the rivals network...

On one occasion Smiler had to go away for a few days, would have been '07 I think, and he was told that Curtis & rofl planned to flame the board while he was gone, so he entrusted the admin tool to a couple of posters to keep an eye on things. That was chaos, within hours the place was in disarray with pretty much the entire board swamped with aliases, you couldn't ban them as fast as they were appearing.

Then there was the person who inadvertently insulted Smilers daughter as she was dating another poster on GMK. (was that Curtis ?) Smiler was going to rip his head off and spit down the hole if he could ever have found out who he really was ! Was hilarious to read the obviously quite serious exchanges !

That was the UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. It was Foo_Fighter. he didn't know that Smiler's daughter was the gf of Rofl.

After a period of time, Foo came back as Fellatio Martinez

I don't know who the person was who insulted his daughter, but it was rofl I believe who was dating her.

I do recall another unfortunate incident involving Smiler when Bob Bones put up a highly disturbing pornographic gif, and Smiler's kids saw it- he went nuts & I think he even complained to Bones' service provider getting him totally banned. Bones must have been the most banned (MURKED) user ever on gmk

Smiles wasn't beyond a multi himself, of course. I'd like to think he's here somewhere, or did he just drop off the ccfc radar when GMK died?

_brian is Badger, I'm sure if it. All his hallmarks

 

[ccfcchris]

Yes.

I remember going on the Leicester board and they were so full of themselves and so I went on to Wikipedia and edited it and said it had been announced that they were merging with the Sky Blues and that they would get to keep the City part of their name and we would get to keep the Coventry bit of ours.

I got banned from Wiki after that.

That made me laugh out loud.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Nothing will ever beat the rivals system of just being able to jump on at any club and stir shit up.

Portsmouth fans to this day still wax lyrical about Sky Blue Ultra, and always hope for his re-appearance whenever we play them. Don't think he was GMK, so probably LAST I guess.

 

[pusbccfc]

Rivals was brilliant as others have said.

Nick does a great job on here and we must be one of the busiest football forums in the country?

 

[usskyblue]

And some bloke called @usskyblue trying to head a baseball

You clearly havent used the Sunderland board ! Now that's a busy board by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[ccfctommy]

The Rivals.net boards were brilliant. Remember the board raids? I remember a mass invasion of the Crewe forum after a disparaging article about us.

You know me, Otis, a few others probably came to the conclusion we were immensely boring people years ago. I hope you reach that stage soon, and find peace, but have a response to help your savaged ego

I am an old man cock, couldn’t care less about being abused or ignored online (gives me something to smile about). It’s not real you know. It’s just the place cyber warriors come to safely abuse people they will never have to see face to face.
Older idiots like me think it’s for fellow fans to come together and discuss things about the team they support. Which is probably the only thing most of us have in common.

Gaz got left behind at the services iirc.

SDunne87 drove a Fiat Multipla (this was important for some reason), loved wrestling (there was a 2,000 post thread on the Oggy) and went to Hobbycraft with the family rather than attend City matches. Eventually he back a moderator. He banned Problem Chimp for quoting a line from 'In Bruges' which SDunne87 took as apersonally insult of his children.

His meltdown was funny. He worked at the same place as my sister, she thought he was a twat

Was he the BT engineer?

Ive got him on Facebook last seen crying to leave Boris alone about corona.

Towards the end of GMK he kept trying to push some sort of online shopping scam I think?

 

[PurpleBin]

I remember something about black people not eating crisps hahaha.

Bobes was a mentalist. Curtis as well who I see on Twitter sormtimes, all grown up.

Has anyone managed to resurrect the GMK thread from Wayback Machine where a poster (think it was SBAndy) was left in KFC at a service station on the way back from Bristol City away in the 2011/12 season

Yea, my sister was spot on

Was that on GMK or here? It all blends into one around that time.

 

[fernandopartridge]

No he worked at Capita or TFL (doing the congestion charging) unless I've got her former jobs mixed up.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

GMK killed itself. Unless you were in the click, if you dared to post you were abused, or worse totally ignored.
Many people just gave up and left the half dozen or so regulars to it.
You would see dozens of people viewing posts but few people commenting, hence it died. RIP

Hope SBT doesn’t go the same way!

 

[The Great Eastern]

Can anyone remember how many different posters were using alarm_head as a character. I know the original one got his password nicked then more and more signed in under that name until Nev got totally pissed off with the whole thing and banned the lot of them.....almost certainly including Badger.

Any idea who citizens_arrest is on here or if he is even on here, he genuinely had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions? Was he originally killerumble & changed his name?

Yeah, one of those voucher things weren't it

 

[Grendel]

I can't remember if it was GMK or another forum I used to frequent but it had a poster named Blind Man. Every post was unintelligible. I found it funny anyway.

Was that Astute?

 

[Grappa]

Yes, The Badger's Den. It got review-bombed, perhaps unsurprisingly, and disappeared. He was convinced it was a certain GMKer and threatened legal action! Idiot.

 

[skyblue1991]

Definitely GMK.

Sorry but it was one of the funniest threads I have read! How did you get hone in the end, cannot remember...

No, blind man was a bit more coherent

There was another coach pulled in, just got on it and kept my head down. Was one running from a pub around Stoke Heath area. Pissing down with rain and phone had ran out of battery, so ended up walking to the Ricoh to get a lift home.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I remember being on GMK one night and a poster who was a copper on shift said he would dole out Advice out whilst on shift , there was another fella called Carson’s Army who used to give me a bit of stick as he found out I’d gone to watch Celtic play on a few occasions
Killer rumble and his dwarf hitler melt down was a particular highlight

Carson's Army some BNP type wasn't he? Maniac 5 another, they always got short shrift.

Remember the copper giving advice that night.

KR was a brilliant wind up merchant, his "Jag for a grand" rant was awesome.

Ripping heads off? Step ladders for smiles

 

[steveo1987]

I whole-heartedly agree with the USSkyblue post above...

GMK in the glory days was the absolute best. Absolutely full of characters, and the ability to login to other boards on the same network made for some chaotic exchanges.

Obviously the whole Rivals network was on a downward slope. But what really did it for the GMK site was it became known as the hideout for "SISU lovers". In fact the attitude was similar to here now... that all are to blame, some more than others... but in that era, anything other than unquestioning hatred towards SISU alone, was not the accepted view for City fans. Who would have thought that those opinions and views which were ridiculed by so many, are now the general consensus (well at least on here anyway...!)

So it dwindled. Was a shame.... at Sixfields i stood behind Knowl, TexasHoldem' and the other GMK die-hards, and occasionally saw them at the Ricoh on our return, like ghosts from the past.

Absolutely no disrespect to any posters on here, or indeed to Nick, but GMK in it's heyday was a different level.

See Texas and Knowl at most games at St Andrews..Texas still has his coat with the fur lined hood

I know Carson's Army. Used to work with him.
