A thread for remembering the good old days. Whatever section used to be full of good humour. Bring back the scientist, bring back Qman, bring back Justice. Dodgy hollister tops for sale, people walking around slattery's with RISSCW branded tops or heading down to irishtown stadium for a fans game used to be the call of the day. Triablarmy too with his great football insights on South America.

Well, there seemed to be a slip up in one post when one of them posted and forgot to change accounts, but then Moleman was claiming Siralex was winding people up by faking that. They did have the same IP address though the mods confirmed? |

Not sure whether it's age, change in work or home situation, personal differences from outside the forum or that whatsapp groups have taken over. But sadly a lot of great posters have left or post very infrequently. Which in turn means others post less too. Joined January 2009 after the fanzines got me hooked. And I have to say that the banter online was brilliant. My work at the time gave me loads of time to spend dossing online. And YBIG was perfect for that!
