CliftonCliff Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Don't want to be guilty of total hypocrisy, so have to be brutally honest and say I found the bloke a pain in the rear when he was on OTIB and can't say I was sorry to see him disappear. HOWEVER, this is something else entirely and a very deserving cause, so am more than happy to help and hope others will do the same - whatever they thought of Riaz in his forum days! Donation sent, and the very best of luck to him with his fund raising - and to his little girl, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Liked Riaz on here, was banned for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Homer Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Known Riaz for the best part of 20 years, a real good bloke, City through and through, from ball boy to now taking his kids to games. Whatever went on on here is in the past, this is a thoroughly good cause and one we should all donate a bit of silver to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I can't really recall Riaz on here. I think in the time I have been a consistent poster on here he has often been banned. Anyone care to fill me in on what went down? Regardless of what did happen, I have met him in person and he seemed like a really good bloke. I played for a friends sunday league side against the Bristol City Supporters club. Riaz played left back. I megged him a few times (sorry Riaz) but as mentioned seemed a really nice fella and it's safe to say what he is doing is for a fantastic cause. I will be donating for certain and would encourage others to do so. Fair play Riaz. Cracking stuff mate and all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Riaz was one of those forum members who talked a lot of sense, but was inclined to get quite arsey with those who disagreed - especially if they were talking bollards. He didn't suffer fools gladly! He was by no means a bad poster, is clearly a passionate supporter and a good egg, and I miss his contributions here. Unfortunately, as has been said, during one of his time-out bannings, he broke forum rules by coming back under a pseudonym. Hopefully his exile will be rescinded eventually.

myol'man Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Can you get a life ban from OTIB for running on the pitch? Good luck Riaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Good luck Riaz. Seems a bit odd that Riaz can't post on here, I've read a few of his posts on ziderheads though. He doesn't seem controversial enough to me to warrant a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NifflerNomad Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 *Bump* Riaz would like me to pass on his thanks to those that have made a donation so far. Also is possible that this can be pinned or merged with the other Zero to Hero thread? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
