Post by: selby on October 20, 2016, 04:28:42 pm
Where the devil are you?has Brexit and the political scene got to you?are you shocked at our current form?or has Trump completely broken your faith in the human race?
   I sincerely hope you get back to posting on here again,  you are being missed  for your barbed witty comments by some of us.

I too hope he is well. Although we haven't always seen eye to eye politically I find him one of the more interesting contributors on here, so I hope he'll be back.

Well he keeps popping in to see how we are doing even if he isn't posting = last online 20th October 2016, 02.52pm.

He's too busy canvassing for Corbyn to be wasting time on here.

Just about the only reason I look on the site. Has he taken the Murdoch dollar and gone to Sky, or maybe the new Ch 4 bake off?

Have you seen his profile pic?

It's coming up to a busy time of year for someone with stunning looks like him 😀

Billy's fine. Fear ye not.

Tommy: where have you been this last 18 months? Have you not read what Billy has said, consistently and over a long period of time, about Jeremy Corbyn? What on Earth has made you make such a stupid statement as that?

Oh. OK. Maybe I missed it then. Didn't read it that way though as there seemed neither point nor reason to be sarcastic. Why have a dig at someone people are expressing their concern about? it strikes a sour note.

I'm sure BST would see that and not mind; unlike you when you get your sanctimonious, pompous head on.

Post by: Sprotyrover on October 21, 2016, 05:08:32 pm
 Right, I for one am getting worried, let's speculate as to what fate may have befallen him!
1) he has has his Lecky cut off?
2) he has had something else cut off,The Pope has found out and he is in hiding!
3) he got caught with his trousers down Again!!, and he would not relinquish his favourite copy of Shaven Haven hence is on remand.
4) He has been invited to form a new socialist workers party and is busy writing his manifesto,in simple terms we all understand ???
5)He has been approached to headDoncaster Rovers Social Media website and is still locked in his Bedroom contemplating!

Any other ideas please?

Given it was written by Billy Bragg it must now be Levi Stubbs' Tears surely ? Probably where BST derived the name

So he may have easily been Levi Braggs Tears !

He is Working for the government on our Brexit  undercover in Paris.

Braggs 1987 ish composition, Levi Stubbs tears, coincided with us loaning Billy Stubbs from Forest. I actually thought he was alright. I was in the minority and on reflection incorrect he was rubbish. Billy the loanee that is. Not Bragg, whom I think is great,  or Stubbs from this forum.
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears

Still not been sighted. Seems like people finding out who he actully is has driven him underground. It's a shame really.

I haven't seen anywhere that suggests people have "found out" who he actully [sic] is?
And it might be me, but I get the impression you don't really care?
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: NickDRFC on November 15, 2016, 10:34:29 am
I might be missing something here, but although he regularly clashed with users I don't think he did so enough/on a big enough scale to want to remain anonymous. In fact I'd have thought the opposite, that he was anything but a "keyboard warrior".

I often wondered if you and BST were the same person.

On a serious note, I wonder if he's had to sell his laptop following the devastating financial effect of Brexit?

I thought that BST was in the news in the fall out with Wroey.
It's only a forum, surely with all that is going off in the world an opinion on a forum is the least of anybody's worries. I don't give a stuff if anybody knows who I am, I think that I am usually polite and quite happy for people to have a different view to me.
Surely that's what a forum is for, it can even change your view.

Seems that from around this moment he vanished:

http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=258682.msg654763#msg654763

As for actually caring, care is a strong word. Do I think this forum is a better place when he contributes his wit and wisdom, yes.

There's always a risk when you use a picture of yourself for your avatar. Even when one of a very flattering nature is used, like in BST's case.

There's also a chance of mistaken identity should a picture of yourself look like someone else. I used a personal photo for a while, and poor old Tom Cruise got his head kicked in.

Dead livid he was.
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: selby on November 15, 2016, 01:34:02 pm
I thought when I first posted on B.S.T.s disappearance he would not be still missing at this stage.
     I hope it is by his own choice,and not illness or any mishap.
     I would like to see him back posting on here again,there  are not enough of us who care about the Rovers as it is.
     I wonder if he is Brian the Blade and hasnt got enough time for us now they are doing better?
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: selby on November 15, 2016, 01:37:49 pm
If he is Brian the Blade, he will probably be back posting on here about February.
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: i_ateallthepies on November 15, 2016, 05:29:50 pm
No need for concern as to illness or mishap Selby, BST is absent by choice.

Like you though I very much would like to see him back.
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: MachoMadness on November 15, 2016, 05:50:02 pm
A shame he's gone, I always enjoyed his posts even though I didn't always agree with them. Perhaps being the only person apart from myself who immediately becomes rock hard at the mention of Paul Heffernan had something to do with that.
Title: Re: Billy Stubbs Tears
Post by: Chris Black come back on November 15, 2016, 09:07:55 pm
Think he has finally come to terms with reality that Theo will never be a double figure season striker in professional football. Such news can often take time to come to terms with, but time is a great healer.

Must admit I do miss some of the arguments we had. Like the time he said I was wrong about  Newcastle United's home strip consisting of Black and White stripes, and insisting it was actually White and Black stripes.

Post by: BobG on November 16, 2016, 12:31:02 am
Selby, and others, Billy is absent by choice. I made the point back in post No. 10. I heartily regret that decision. He made us all think. And thinking is an art form not practised anywhere near often enough.

Cheers chaps

Bob,thanks for some form of good news,I only hope he has not forsaken his support for our great club entirely,and still attends the games when he can.
    Like others on here I miss his wit and at times his down right cussedness on subjects,personally I always found his comments entertaining and mostly informative even if I did not agree with them.
   Lets hope that at some time in the future he feels he can come back and entertain the likes of myself again.
   Bentley,yourself,Dutch,and many others are the lifeblood of this forum,of course not everyone agrees with each other, but the one thing we have in common is the well being of our club.

He's one of the best on here. Is he the fella who used to dress up as donny dog and was a board member for a time?. A loss to the forum in my opinion it can get a bit quiet at times on here. He starts quite a few posts that lead to discussion and disagreements at times but's that's what a forum is for.

You're thinking of Andy Liney.

Although the thought of BST dressing up in a dog suit did bring a smile to my face.
