cityal Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sorry to hear this - a true OTIB stalwart. I always thought his matchday thread posts were interesting, often delving into non-football topics or historical matches - though I do realise they were not everyones cup of tea! Not to put down the folk that do the threads now, but Saturday mornings on OTIB won't be the same without a good cup of coffee and a long read from @havanatopia summarised in a few words by @BigTone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Gosh, that's a real shock. A regular poster who started most match days with a well researched, interesting thread. I'm really sorry to hear the news. Condolences to his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red from the blue side Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Reading Havanatopia's match day thread was always part of my match day ritual. A very difficult act to follow. RIP fellow red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 That’s so sad. Its funny how despite never meeting him, 20 years on this forum makes it feel like you knew him. It felt the same with one team in keynsham. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Ah proper sad, I think we really need some sort of gone but not forgotten section or group for some of the OTIB'er who've left us. Sadly the age of the forum now (nearly 25 years) means we've quite a few of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Such a shame, I'm not very good a remembering or recognising peoples usernames, but his was certainly one I did and respected his views and as others, enjoyed his match day threads.

ralphindevon Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 That’s sad, a poster I always looked out for. Always an interesting slant on many subjects and a dry wit to go with it. Thoughts are with all those who knew him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I hate to be intrusive @Der no.2, but will his family be alright with the monetary costs? I'm sure a lot of us who have been appreciative of his contribution to the forum would be more than happy to put a few quid towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
