Friends of Fulham

I done it for Blingo so i'll do one for you. Dont let a Red Scouser see you off the board. Cant see how LB was having a go at you so calm down, come back tomorrow and no one will think you backed down or anything. The amount of times i make a wally out of myself (not that you've made a wally of yourself) and come back is unbelievable. Come back you old tart.

Mr. Finn sir please don't go!

Come back Finn. Good poster, sorely missed.

Earlier this year when I was ill, I was away from this MB for three months. In my absence and much to my chagrin, the MB still chugged along perfectly well without me.
I came to appreciate that the MB is bigger than any single person and I guess in time nobody gave a rat's whether I ever posted again.
That said, there are, however, certain posters who make up the essence of what this MB is all about, and you Mr Finn are one of them.
Yes the MB will still chug on without you but it won't be the same.
You are an important part of this kaleidoscope we call Fulham – your insight, wit and knowledge makes logging on to this site all the more worthwhile.
I know that you were irked by the thought of being reprimanded by our own Mr Quelch of Greyfriars brandishing the cane, but I know Ed personally and this is not in his repertoire. He would not intentionally do anything to upset someone as respected as you are.
So come back Mr Finn. We are on the threshold of our most glorious hour in our history and I would love to share it with you on this MB.

Corked Hat?

Yep, the name's familiar but I can't quite, um....

That was actually very humorous Mr Scrumpy :020: :020:
At my age I sometimes forget who I am as well so if anybody can tell me please don't be afraid!

Lovely post Mr. Corked one...but you WERE missed and we did miss your musings!!!  Even Tom did too, WTF?

Mr. Finn, I don't even know what happened, I have yet to search out the thread that casused this request from FatFred, but I'm sure that you will take some time to relax, think it over, and return with the gusto to lead us in posting (well except for our news reporters, that is)!  

I followed you to this MB from the Offal after your numerous spats over there (not your fault, mind you) so don't let one over here run you off.

Grab a Fuller's and a nice Stogie and we'll be here waiting for you when you return.

Good day.

I am glad he is gone. Finn always disagreed with me about the Forces. Often disagreed with me about football and... wait a minute, he was one of the few who replied to my threads. Without him I will be left alone in the corner to fart and shout and be ignored.

This is just an MB, a good one, but just an MB. People from other clubs and other parts of the Country MUST have the points of view defended if they are put in a way the moderators accept. But we must accept that our views also need to be heard. But it is not them and us. It is just us.

So Finn if you decide to return it will be a better MB for you doing so. Whatever you decide, respects go to you. But we all have the right to express an opinion. Even foreigners from Liverpool.

Although if blingo decides to quit I for one...lookout a moderator hand in hand with a whistling happy blingo. Bast...  Why would anyone campaign for him to come back?

I still don't agree that we need supporters from other teams to come on here- with pipe of peace or cudgels, it doesn't matter.
None of this would have happened (and the same applies with our old mate Blingo) if supporters from another team had not been permitted to infiltrate this forum.
I don't give a holy crap about what anyone from Wolfsburg, Liverpool or Bishop Auckland thinks about me or my team. I don't care if they think that Fulham is the greatest team outside of their own and that they love us in the true spirit of brotherhood. I am not interested.
As it stands we only allow supporters of other teams to come on here if they say nice things about us which is hypocrisy, not to mention censorship, in the extreme. We either allow them the freedom of debate or we don't allow them at all. I am for the latter - sorry

Wise one, we have only a few "Fulham is my second team" posters on this board and we get the odd supporter from out next match, but my recollection has been that most of them have been very respectful and have said nice things. We should continue that policy and we should not allow any baiting on this site from non-supporters unless it is done with respect or with a sense of clear humor, but we should also apply a similar standard to our own.

Finn will be back just like you came back.  :dft012:

I'm hoping our own British (English ?) bulldog is out in the back garden digging holes, chewing peoples shoes, peeing on the fence to let off steam and will be back again when he's hungry. Get yer aris back in hear Finn or I'll wallop you with a rolled up New York Times !

You will be welcomed back Mr Finn sir, and missed if you choose not to...

please reconsider Mr Finn, we'll all miss you if you go

I have missed this completely. WHATS HAPPENED TO MY M8 FINNY???????

Well Mr B – there erupted this argument with a person called Pata who posts on this MB and apparently comes from Liverpool but resides somewhere else.
If you scroll far enough down you will happen across a post by Lakey which is entitled "I am convinced...."
If you go directly to Page Three of this post you will see the drama unfold.

Thanks CH

Finnster, get your ass back on here!

I don't post that often on here but always enjoyed reading Finn's posts (well more than fat Freds anyway  :dft011: )

So please Finnster don't leave!

Can I reiterate Fat Freddys and one or two others plea:



I have also missed what's been going on but it certainly can't be worth going on strike!!!

Deadly threat

If you don't come back immediately I will not continue my full hollered blast at the opposing players on behalf of those separated from us by a couple of continents tomorrow night!!

Finny, we all have the utmost mate..... heres a hand......climb back on board.

Please come back Finn, you will be missed. OK so you had a row but is it worth losing touch  with a bunch of ardent admirers of you style of humour? no it aints so please reconsider and come back in time for next wednesdays glorious celebrations. Or has the Brooklyn air got to you?

I can do nothing but ask Mr Finn to return to the fof and echo the sentiments of the others here, a true gent providing good chat, intelligent wit and a laugh when needed

I like his comments/attitude. very direct, no messing. I once made a derogatry comment about Thatcher (who hasn't???) and the falklands and he responded, sort of biting my head off. He was right. He was there while I was down the pub with my mates.

He has a knack of those short, but amusing comments. I try to make them, but just doesn't work like his. (too much waffle in mine).

The owl thing is great. Where did that idea come from Finn.??

Owl?? A gimlet eyed hawk surveying all and seeing everything that moves surely??

He's a good bloke..

I agree, Finn's wit will be missed if he does not return.

Shall we start a facebook group? Bring back Fin!

.....and anyway, who`s gonna shame us fatties into losing weight in the New Year if he doesn`t return!!!

I am sure he will come back, he has been in the services and knows how to take a rollocking whether deserved or not, once he has calmed down he will be back, he knows this is the best Fulham site by far and although we don't always agree, which would be boring, we respect anothers viewpoint whilst not agreeing to it as we know we are right! :031:

Add my vote too for what its worth. This forum and chat room are poorer places without you, Finnster mate.  Come back to the fold on this wave of accolades.

Ole Finn,
Fulham expects that every Finnster will do his duty--as you have done yours--above and beyond the call as they say.  We need good mates on this MB, especially ones like you with your background and experience and perspective.  Don't let us down so close to our moment of glory against this spanish rabble. :028:

I have heard that the mods threatened to take his balls :011:

Mr Finn, when i had a little tantrum earlier and decided i would not post again, you were the first person to come on and ask me to stay, I have no idea why this has happened but please Mr Finn you are a very important poster as you can see by all the previous requests for you to return.

We posters on occasions have our little disagreements but i reckon at the end of the day we are one big Fulham family who must support each other.

3 pages Finny, stop milking it  now  :015: .

Jesus christmas finny rub some dirt on that pride and get back in the game for feck's sake. I start posting more and you take off, now you've hurt my feelings... :dft012:

OK, white noise. I feel stupid, I am not really up on my feathered birds.

Gents, Lads and Lassies
I am back.

First I want to thank all of you who has sent me PM's, posted messages on this MB etc. It would probably take me the rest of the day to get back to you all individually, but I want you to know that it sure meant the world to me. I didn't know I had that many friends on here. So please take this post as a big thank you for the support.

Bottom line what happened is I got worked up over something that triggered things in my past (No, I will not ever eat your children...) that is hard for me to deal with sometimes. Not the best of memories.

So in the end I threw all my toys out of the pram, made a right arse of myself, and insulted Ed on top. None of which I am proud of.

So now that I am back (thanks to some nifty footwork by WhiteJC as well), you all will have to put up with my drivel for a bit more. But I am sorry to the people I offended (except one) .

Thank you all for your support and I will try to keep up the high standards of the hawk and post a little more sane stuff.

Anyway, off to Hamburg soon for the best game in my life since 1975.

Welcome Back Finn, its been tooo lonG!

At ease Sailor ! Great to see you back Finn, it would have been an empty feeling celebrating without you.  :045:

Well good riddance and frankly I always thought ....Whats this? Some more posts as I was writing.  Finns back. Oh God no...I mean Oh good oh.

Welcome back Finn. Now where were we?

Bout time too!

Welcome back Finn.

 :048:

Welcome back :045: :045:

AND ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO. :59:

Welcome back Fella :59:

Nice1 Bruv x

Thank Christ for that. Dusty and his rabid sheepdog were on their way to get you!

Great to have you back finnster!  :54:

Great to have you back Mr Finn sir.

Glad you're back but couldn't you have stayed away a little longer?  I've got about 1000 posts before I catch up to you!

Ya, I guess you're right, a year or two would have been too long.  Welcome back Finn!  Get your 6 Fullers and those Magic Panties ready for the game next Wednesday...

Found this scrolling back, seems a very apt request from Fred

Indeed it is.

If only he could :-(

I ws looking back because there was a picture of Finn that he posted before the final in Hamburg so we could recognise him, thought it would good to see it again but alas cannot find it, found this instead

Does any one have a picture of Finn?

Yes. In fact if you goggle him you'll find a couple. There was one on the Offal. I'll add it when I get close to the laptop later.

Saw the thread this morning on my phone and it doesn't show pics or emotions, to keep the speed up. So didn't see the pic and the second one is the one I have.
Finns a bit like Radio4 presenters, nothing like you imagined him. No doubt there's a Finn post for every Fulham moment so we'll have to keep fetching them out as the season roles by. If he can't be here in person he can in spirit.

Ed that is not the picture I remember, the one he posted showed him full length in a whistle and I am sure he had more hair!

This is the picture posted by Tizzard on the Offal. Where did he get it from?

...Dave/John, I have no idea what Tizzard posted, but I found this on the internet in relation to the financial services he supplied and the photo WhiteJC posted is from a similar source and they refer to him and his company in the USA. If they are wrong I will take them down...

Its definitely Finnster.

He had a Twitter account for business - https://twitter.com/Finnster01 - which is where they got the later pic from.

I am guessing the young lady of the same surname in his followers is his daughter?

I remember the one epsomraver refers to. I think someone started a thread of a 'Post a pic of yourself' nature and Finnster posted one of him formally attired outside in the sunshine. Looked like he was at the races or similar. Have tried to seach for it on here but no joy.

Had the same problem WN, I printed it off because I thought we had some mutual friends , it was around the final in Hamburg if that narrows the search down.

Think its the one in his Flickr -

@The Don: The Attenborough philum to which you refer was called "10 Rillington Place" after the address in which Christie committed his atrocities.  It should be mandatory viewing for all pro death penalty zealots.  Watching a simple young Welshman (one of Christie's lodgers) put to death for crimes he did not commit left a lasting impression on me.  It shaped my mind very clearly and very early on this issue - as it did with the British justice system.

Nogood "there's an old senti-mental you are indeed" Boyo

This is likely a cropped version of one of two. The first is on Linked-In, being the one he uses for business and the second is one, in a tux, that was taken in NY with Terri last year. When she saw the Linked-In one she commented that she preferred the tux one.
