old pre-VSC message board ?
« on March 21, 2017, 04:56:28 pm by Herman Hessian »

Is this the message board where there was a massive fall out between one rovers fan and a few of its members ?

Or am I way off the mark .

Either way whatever happened to the said rovers fan that pissed some rovers fans off,does he still attended games?

You're thinking of Wroey and YAURS. It was separate to the VSC. I don't know what happened to him.

That's the chap ,he did not half seem to rub fans up the wrong way for whatever reasons.

Can't recall what it was all about tbh,only the fallout.

ahhh yes - the YAURS site - there were one or two, err. editorial differences of opinion with that and DFR so i tended to steer clear - heh

but no - not that one, or Confguide (with the awful stepped thread display !) - there was another one, definitely going the season we got relegated as Bob G and his dad used to rally the troops on there, although maybe we all jumped ship once we'd actually gone down; was just wondering if any of it was archived on thewaybackmachine, but i need the url to check...

and go on Filo, I never did work out what all the Nige upset was about, so do spill the beans....

Was that the site run by Andrew Spiers?

If so I remember it, but have forgotten its name.

I'm sure that last year somebody posted a link to the site that you are thinking about. I seem to remember Bob G commenting on it.

I remember it as a newsgroup, pre the ConfGuide board. "Carlos" featured (does he still go to games?), Bob G, pretty sure you were there HH, and of course Sturdy - ever present in the conf years, started doing interviews, vids and drifted off to the Dons.

You not referring to the "Save the Rovers" campaign site, HH?

sort of, thanks - the link to what i was after was on there - it was Belle Vue Chat which was based on Andy Spiers' site - found a few bits and pieces on there, including the very first suggestion that sowed the seed for the VSC (07/12/1998) !

i joined Yaurs, and in my first post which was discussing football and nothing argumentative at all, I neglected to capitalise the first letters of Saturday and Tuesday, and got a bollocking from the admin.

No wonder that site isn't around any more..

He started doing that sort of thing after a while I got a "yellow card" for missing a full stop out  :blink:

 Wroey was certainly until fairly recently running a football league forum with subsections for each division don't know if he still is

It is now seemingly entirely defunct - but if anyone can get that working they will find my first online utterances!

I was a regular there until he banned me because I kept asking him why he publicly called me a 'bigot' for using the term TDF ('Typical Donny Fan', meaning the grumblers that seemed to make up a lot of the crowd in those days and a term that had been used on that forum well before I ever used it). Being called a bigot left me fuming - needless to say that he never gave me his reasoning as to why he called me one and eventually banned me for keeping on asking him to justify it!

So the question still stands unanswered

Does mr wroey still attend rovers games? Or had the situation got that bad the fella had to keep away.

It was also the home to the first words I ever posted on the internet. Strange to think what a seminal cultural event we've been a part of. It'll be my generation's "JFK" moment.

My seminal Internet moment was setting the backdrop on new fangled internet terminal at Edinburgh Waverley station to the DFR tits picture circa 2001.

Set the tone for my future Internet activities.
"Snatch of the Day" by any chance 😁😁😁😁
