Mo, EastLondon was a StGC bredda living in London. But I recall another bredda name Eastman. There were also a couple other breddas name Enuff and Chin but the Farmah wouldn't know them 'cause that was before his time.

Who remember Booma? One of the most controversial posters of his time. Criticize Carl Brown and expect to feel the full wrath of Booma!
I think I started posting about 98/99 too. Some events I remember from the early days....
Blacka Boyd making his debut in the English league..We used to gether here for all of those early games.
Mosiah and a Trini always used to clash, think it was Defender....
The big forum war with Balla, Emperor, soon to be joined by Mosiah and Portia and others (I wonder if he ever got Portia to apologize?) . After everybody cooled down and came back Balla and Emperor were like forum brothers.
JDD and Jamekan was two funny posters. if aybody think Mosiah is a Trini hater, them need fe meet Jamekan! All dem flag him hate!

Anyone remember Andrea? I think she was Andy Williams' sister who came on to try to defend Andy and her father for demanding a meeting with Simoes to ask why his boy was not getting enough plaing time.

I remember one female poster I think was from Canada that whenever I remember her name, I had to laugh. The name was:

"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
This site in its various forms has existed from 1997...That is 11 years now!
I know that PeterR's brother (Paul Marin) was the founder/creator and that PeleTen was his sidekick in the effort. The site has since evolved a few times and fell under the umbrella of the RBSC.
I cant remeber many other names from way back in the early dayz. I think that stalwarts like Gamme, Ben, Lazie, Baddaz, Sickko, Comment and Me are more recent...though Baddaz was on the scene way back. My memory has gotten rusty now, so i am sure I forgot many and mixed up some...so apologies in advance!
It has been a long road, but seems like yesterday.
I don't even remember when I joined but I think Mo joined before me. We can't figet the original trinis like Socapro and the bredda from Brooklyn(can't remember the name).
The funny thing is when I joined there was a bredda posting about the same time as MyYout but he seemed to know so much about eastern Ja and somehow went to many games I attended. I had a telephone conversation with my bonefide brethren and I was telling him about the forum and he said "a mi a myYout pon di forum". That was very surprising.
One thing I miss very much on the forum is all the women who no longer post. MdMex please don't leave us, hope to see some a di ladies come back.
Me nah go anyway. Unuh a go tired fi si me.
We had Chin, Tanponitlong, Emperor (or some name like that), was it Jawge that was Shiloh? We had Lulu, Karen, Portia, Princess.
