Look, just forget about it. I'm glad I'm not at KT anymore. It's a crap site anyway.
Hehehe...
Danny, it's not the time or the place to discuss what happened way back when mate. Things happened, you just get on with it. I'm sure that both parties have more or less forgotten about it now and probably couldn't care less.Danny_ said:
Syd, I'd probably ignore most of what's been posted.

What happened LR and why would anyone take the piss out of Syd?
Honestly?Marching said:
As far as I know, the editor of KT posted an article, which apparently had a few comments in it that were seen as racist by one or two (literally one or two) members on the site. One of the members challenged him about it and was promptly banned. The thing is, he was discussing it on another site with someone else. Another member questioned the banning and was banned himself, along with one or two others, for no reason at all.
Two of the banned members then set up Talklfc, which attracted alot of it's posters straight from KT as they were good friends, online. Initially there was quite an amount of bitching and laughing about it, which has steadily declined and has virtually disappeared.
With regards to Syd, and pardon me for speaking as I do, he was seen by a few ex-KT members as aloof and arrogant, even power-crazy. As a few others on KT were. I'm not sure wether that still applies as it's nearly 2 years ago now, but I would doubt either parties give a shit. Really.
Thanks and from what I have seen on KT some still think of Syd the way you mentioned.Los Rojos said:
Enjoying your lofty 2nd spot? Great run to get there.
brilliant thread.
I'm sure you can relate...Marching said:

There was a fella there called Rashid who used to be the owners mate or something but he has since disappeared from there. He used to be power crazy and also the guy who used to choose the moderators on there, I applied once and was told to feck off.

Can't argue with it.
I don't think Syd is that bad personally, I saw little of him before the acrimonious split from KT as I was only a snot-nosed newbie when all this took place, what I've seen on KT doesn't really strike me as how others think if I'm honest. he has his moments on here, but I'm not surprised with some of the shite aimed in the direction of Liverpool fans on here.Marching said:
As for the league, I'm absolutely made up, we're there on merit and we're flying. Granted, and as has been pointed out, we've played barely anyone of note, but still, winning breeds confidence and you can only beat what is in front of you. From back to front the team is oozing confidence and the defence looks imperious. A few new players in January to supplement what we have, and we might just have a serious challenge to Chelsea on, and hopefully match United and Arsenal for second place.
Los Rojos said:
You can only beat what's put in fron of you and it's important to do so.
I think it's a bonus to get to 2nd with the Jan transfer window so close...some good signings will boost cover that's needed when the injuries kick in as they surely will at some point.
Just need Crouch to score a few eh?
We've no need to fear Arsenal or you cnuts anymore....given Rafa's only been here a season and a bit, that's fantastic progress.
We're looking very good at the moment, the defence has been almost immaculate of late, and our midfield is superb. The goals are coming now an all, and some of our football is quality.
Have to see what happens when we get our next setback, and also the effect of this Japan trip. In one sense it makes for a nice break, in the other, it's bad timing given our form...and stops us putting any pressure on Chelsea.
Think most Reds would have been happy with 4th in the league this season, and a strong push for a trophy elsewhere....so looking very good

I'm not so sure Rashid had that sort of influence, but I do remember him. He was a member of the anally retentive 'first team' forum where you needed about a squillion posts to be allowed to post. Everyone on there just seemed interested in arguing with each other.Warrington said:There was a fella there called Rashid who used to be the owners mate or something but he has since disappeared from there.

The ressies (reserves) and the academy where the real heart of KT back then. Ahhh memories. I still hold a bit of a soft spot for that place, it introduced me to online football communities and a few people that I've gotten to know really well.
More to the point though, is that there are probably only 3 or 4 other teams of 'note', so unless you DO beat the others and take as many points as possible from the 'lesser' sides, you're not likely to be very successful.Los Rojos said:
Yep, I certainly agree with the first two points. As for Crouchy, he does need to chip in with his fair share, but I'm not so sure it's important he's set a target as he's obviously not an out and out striker. He offers alot more to the side than just scoring goals, we look a better side when he's in it, and his ability to bring others into play is absolutely invaluable.Marching said:You can only beat what's put in fron of you and it's important to do so.

A fair point DJS, and something I've mentioned myself on here. It would be nice to chuck a few victories in against sides with real designs on getting into Europe and such like though.DJS said:
No mate, I remember clearly, he was the main man on there and a real wanker to boot. Maybe DJS can confirm?Los Rojos said:
Of course it'd be nice, but if you break it down to simple maths...take out Chelsea, Arsenal and the scum...that leaves 16 other opponents.Los Rojos said:
4 points off each = 64 points, which should be enough for a top 4 finish at least.
Not saying we'd only get 4 points off the others, or that we'll get 4 off all of them obviously. Neither am i saying we cant/wont/dont want to get any off the top 3.
The basic point is that since games against United, Chelsea and Arsenal can only yield a maximum of 18 points, it's essential that we put away the 'lesser' sides on a regular basis, to enable us to amass a decent final tally.
DJS, How can you get 4 Points against Fulham?
I have no idea.Warrington said:
Try reading and understanding it properly.vijay said:
He's talking about over the course of both games. A win and a draw.vijay said:
Rashid was of the anti-Houllier brigade(mee too),and of the pro-Robbie Fowler-anti Heskey(mee too) side.He took a lot of abuse for that.I thought he was one of the more colorful figures on that site.Warrington said:
1,5
Why anyone needs to be anti or pro anyone is beyond me. You should want the best for the football club, and that means giving everyone at the club your support. I backed Houllier until the day he left the club, and the same for Emile.njred said:
Didn't realise you were from KT fella, were you njred way back then or not?
4 points? or was that pints?DJS said:
Im not lying when I say,I don't remember - was like-4 yrs ago.It used to be a great site,then it changed servers or summat like that.Took off to YAWN and that was that.As far as Anti- Houllier,it was more of disagreeing with his decisions...and then gettin in arguments over it.Folwer on the other hand caused riots on that site,so much emotions running over the top when he was being forced out.Los Rojos said:
I think that they are very, very close to being a #2, as much as I hate to admit it. All that is missing is a world-class strikeforce for me. I think that would put them over the #2 mark and on their way to the #3.
and at the moment, we're second only to Chelsea...
I know mate, that was cos I used to mod itLos Rojos said:
Well gutted when they merged
They should have carried on with it. KT wasn't the same after that.Shah786 said:I know mate, that was cos I used to mod it

I think if Cisse's attitude and work rate don't improve that Rafa will ship him out and look to bring in a forward with pace and a finish about him. Maybe someone like Saviola. Im not sure if he'd come to us though. I think Sami is great at the back with Carra but he can be exposed by pace and a new centre back should be brought in or through the youths for experience and to play the games that sami cant. I think Riise has done well at left back but sometimes he looks at sea. The fact that we even mention Traore in this position suggests that we need cover there. I think the current side is doing excellent but the strength and depth of the side needs improving.Los Rojos said:
Cisse's as good as gone....if not in Jan then in the summer
Liverpool have surprised me somewhat this season. Especially given the start they had.
Fair play to them they are on a real run of form right now. They like all of the other challengers need to fill some gaps especially when you get outside the starting 11.
As Davo said the Japan trip may have come at the wrong time, but we won't know until the New Year, the other thing that may go against them is the early start to the season. Liverpool like us are relying on 2 or 3 players staying fit. Injuries at this time last season cost them 4th place. It remains to be seen if those key players can stay clear of injuries

yeah he's out. no question. rafa won't tolerate any players who don't play for the team, which is why i don't see him going for an owen etc, a penalty box poacher who does little else. morientes will get 15 this season, crouch a dozen, garcia a dozen or more, and the likes of gerrard and riise will chip in with a few.Davo said:
Agreed. Our season started in July and with a lot of games to play yet with a relatively small squad we may struggle with fitness in a few months. That said rafa has shown hes not afraid to rotate players in the team which could bode well for us.Looking Busy said:
