A la recherche du temps perdu

I was going through my files there today and I came across the following correspondence from 2003. It brought a tear to my eye. The All-Ireland was on September 28th as I recall.

Tis a shame we don't have the full thread on here or at least a link to it, it should be preserved for historical reasons

Thank you kind seafold, you've brought a smile to my face tonight. This indeed brings back fond memories

There was also this from Hardyarse 


I admire Armagh's football and the childish spewings of this nauseating p***k wouldn't have the slightest effect on my opinion.  I usually don't read his posts, in the same way that I would decline if a wino with running lip sores offered me a swig from his bottle. But every thread I visit this morning , this irritating creep is there chirruping inanities, bleating about Armagh's win as if he had something to do with it or somehow gained some reflected glory from it and gratuitously spewing bile at just about everyone else.  There's no analysis, no talk about the game, the tactics, the decisive events, the form of players or anything that would indicate the slightest interest in the game itself, other than to use it as a vehicle to haul his own insecurities and inadequacies out here in front of us all when we'd rather not look, thanks all the same.

Legendary post. It's a pity the response by someone (maybe Hardy) as to how the telephone conversation may have gone wasn't preserved too.

There were only 20 pages on the board back then weren't there? I remember every so often it'd be bumped back up to page 1 to make sure it didn't drop off the board into oblivion.

There was a thread called "three things you would change about football". Someone posted this


1) get rid of the ball

2) introduce a smaller ball

3) introduce hurls.

Arrah, don't be worryin' about Fearon; there's been no change in that baste and probably never will.
It's poor Hardy I do be frettin' about. He's literally fadin' away before our very eyes! We'd better get him outa Langerland somehow or he'll soon be gone entirely.
He started off as Hardyarse the Fiddler. By 2003, he had lost his fiddle and now his arse has gone missin'.

That was Easytiger. I might have that somewhere.

Lar - don't worry about me. I'll be grand.
Yours,

I seem to remember Meath winning things back in the good old days. Where did it all go wrong, Hardy ?
Too much of the good life?

Tried looking for it last night on webarchive, but to no avail.
