You're onto something, Burney. I recall following a couple of old blokes that was posting around 1999 until around 2002. They moaned and whinged quite a bit and it was fairly brilliant. in 01-02 the posts became infrequent, then they announced they were shutting down as we weren't **** anymore so it was no fun to post and they didn't want to make stuff up. It was quite witty while it lasted, however, not the simplistic vitriole of today's internet warriors and millennials. Thinking back I believe the nil-nil Copenhagen Cup final was their zenith. Or maybe it was Franny Jeffers. Hard to pick.

What was the name of that site? It was a quite simple layout. Red something? Red n white? Not sure...
