Pie and Bovril - Most frightening posters in history

I have met Kilt on a couple of occasions (at the 5s tournaments) and he seemed okay in person.  Although I did enjoy repeatedly volleying the ball off his body - I managed to rattle him in the stomach and nuts before injuring his wrist.  Reina also scored a beauty past him.

Clyde Till I Die was another that was absolutely fine whenever I met him, but I certainly wouldn't want to get on his bad side.  

Steven the Raith fan also turned up at the 5s and as Philpy said was a bit smelly.  He said he lost his wallet, and had no money, so my mate Del let him kip on the floor and we gave him a train fare home the next day.  But he was very strange, didn't really talk to anyone, and just creeped Reina out.  I think we said we would meet him at a certain place in ten minutes and just fucked off on him.  He then followed me about the forum for that season and quickly got seriously pissed off with my "Hello Down There" signature as Ross County steam rollered Raith to the title.  In one post I called him Gonzo (as he had a massive nose and I was referencing the muppet) and he went on a tirade about I knew nothing of his porn habits, so I hadn't the right to call him Gonzo. :lol:

 

Aye, but none of them are as fucking loony as you. That was a hilarious night out. We just left the bugger in the middle of Glasgow...

He's too sensible for that nowadays, he's now a doctor 

I've got some pictures that could quickly put an end to that.

Safe to say, that if a creepy sex pest pagan like Kilt was able to marry and have kids then there is genuinely no excuse for anyone not to find love.

She was blind, wasn't she?

Whatever happened to the falkirk poster, "gogo"?? He was some boy.

Shagger :lol:

Ron Burgundy.

Actually quite a funny poster, but was banned for something and went on an absolute crusade, re-registering continually and I'm sure he phoned up a moderator's place of employment to grass that moderator up for being on the internet during the day.

Ron Burgundy was exceptional during his short run. He took on all comers and I remember xbl getting a particularly hard time of it. I'm sure it was "Reina", a teacher, whose employers he called to complain about her internet use during school time. It was that moment where he tipped from a good laugh into something really frightening.

Still, the time he bodied Kilt was one of my all-time favourite moments, and "Ronkers", his one-word thread that was deleted within minutes, was tremendous.

Aye, it was me. I had spent most of the day deleting all his aliases. He went ape and threatened to phone my place of work. Except we weren't actually at school that day - I think it must have been our 'occasional day'. He set up a website and started posting about the mods. I think he called me the stable boy or something? Utter roaster.

12 Ruel Street is fictional as well, although having been served by him in Tesco, I know Kilt is (was) very real. 

I parked on Ruel Street when I went to Hampden for the League Cup final in November. True story. I'm pretty sure I 'checked in' on Facebook.

This thread has been brilliant. :wub:

And he knew more about football than all of us because he had played for an unnamed club at an unspecified level.


Haw you! He played in the Scottish Cup final, when not advising Joe Biden, he'll have you know.

He also claimed Condoleeza Rice was 4 ft 11.

She's 5ft 8.

At least I don't cry in Subway.  Loony.

I haven't seen him posting for a while but Flyerton was a bit of a weirdo. Would pop into a discussion with a youtube video of a song or such like, stating number one xx years ago linking it by the thinnest of hairs possible to the topic at discussion. Really weird. Regularlywhen he was asked WTF he was doing he would just delete the post and act like nothing had happenned.

Which breakdown? He made a big acceptance speech when Craig Killie falsely listed him as #1 on the most influential posters, then attempted to say he was in on the joke and it was all a wind up when he had egg on his face big time. The other one was when he was lambasting posters for disgusting misogyny and sexism on the mumsnet thread, only to have it pointed out to him that he was vividly describing in his pie review thread how he was salivating at looking down a young girl's top at a pie stall. He's seldom been seen since that one.

 

I felt a little bit bad about that afterwards.  He wasn't supposed to be the butt of the joke - it was just an attempt to wind up the thick, angry reprobates who foam at the mouth at the sheer mention of VT.  I thought it would be funny to watch them revel in the failure of their nemesis, before revealing that he actually was the winner all along.

I didn't really like Big Gus as a poster, but he had a reasonable following due to that pie review that he did in the Championship forum, so he seemed like an obvious semi-plausible choice.  I'd assumed that he would be switched on enough to realise what was going on, given that VT, an obvious top 3 candidate, hadn't been listed yet.  I think I misjudged the effect the "success" of the pie thread had on his ego.

Poor man's dundeebarry IMHO

One of the funniest things about his "acceptance speech" was how he very "humbly" paid tribute to Barry saying " a nod to Dundee Barry who's Leigh Griffiths blog started off my pie review idea" or words to that effect. A thread reviewing pies on a football forum vs a blog which ended up with Barry becoming a published author, nice "nod" there.

The Big Gus thing was brilliant. He really thought he had won and he obviously thought he was some big fish on P+B given his tears after the truth was revealed, attempts to cover it up, subsequent breakdown/bitterness for the next year and eventually just disappearing from the site.

Did he not go on some bizarre rant about dundeebarry, not long before his munsnet fiasco?

You could tell he was intensely jealous of the man.

I can't remember that, but I do recall one of his breakdowns resulted in a hissy fit during which he informed us all that one of the Sunday papers was going to serialise his pie reviews.

Tbf the pie reviews themselves were a good laugh and pretty popular but weren't even close to Dundeebarry's work.

The Phoenix is now the chairman at Stirling Albion and probably doesn't have the time to deal with the day-to-day fiddle-faddle of Pie and Bovril any more. He was a very decent man offline but, like so many others who participate in puns and an overuse of the ;) emoji, a bit tiresome on these boards.

Wait, what? The Phoenix is the Chairman who had the total meltdown about Clyde leaving a mess behind in the away dressing room at Forthbank? :lol:

Has Big Gus posted since the Mumsnet incident?
