So today I woke up reminiscing about the old GMK forum on Rivals. Did a quick Google search and it seems a lot of you are on here? The general consensus amongst most City fans is that Sky Blues Talk is for the weirdos, divs and looneys, I think it might be my spiritual home. It's hard to believe that I used to bring in a half decent salary by doing no work at all and posting on GMK. Did it for years too. Come on then, own up you old farts, who was a regular 'contributor' on GMK and what colour are your knickers?

Oh and by the way, my password isn't 'coventry' still. They were simpler times.

Never ever went on there.

Was it any good?

And purple My Little Pony boxers. One single button for easy access.

No it was a load of rubbish. We did have a nice little community of like-minded, shite-talking schizophrenic posters though.

This wasn't exactly the home-coming I'd hoped for. I'll pop back in another 10 years and see if there's any change.

Nice choice. I've gone for a natty blue-on-blue checked affair today.

Don't say that. Say that words 'boxers' and 'affair' and I'm thinking back to Ron the plumber and my missus.

Leaky tap my arse!

One of the funniest things ever was you arguing with yourself

Just been appointed Secretary for Memes under Trump.

Liquid Gold · Dec 21, 2016

I lurked on there but could never be bothered to sign up, was always funny though. Why is there no other site like it i.e. having all club's main forums together in one place and only needing a single sign up to post everywhere??

Either that or him going to his gig the day after it was on!

He disappeared after abusing some Milwall and they tracked down his workplace somehow.
His Club accounts and Top Trumps are the stuff of GMK Legend.

NorthernWisdom · Dec 21, 2016

Anyway, I'd always assumed manbat (and others) were here... just under a different name.

stupot07 · Dec 21, 2016

Yeah there's a few on here still. ISSS posted on there, so did I, bob pops up occasionally, sure Warwickhunt was on on gmk too

Yes manbat I was a Gmk user.

Some great moments on there use to love some of killers arguments

Anyone remember the time a copper spent a couple of hours online answering questions during his shift?

Wasn't that Royston?

I remember him saying he was a cop and then everyone took him to task for several hours on all sorts of topics.

I can assure you that Royston wasn't a cop

I think the guy was called lucky lad

Royston the Robber then?

Yeah, rings a bell.

You would think though if your name was Lucky Lad the last thing you'd want to become would be a cop.

stupot07 · Dec 21, 2016

I still laugh out loud when i think back to the thread about the guy getting left behind at a service station by a coach. Haha

Was it SBAndy or sb7jon?

I used to love GMK. Was on there as Cambridge_Skyblue at the time.

It was a lot darker than this generally but hilarious. Gutted when it shut down, but this place isn't too bad.

The old Rivals days were class too, used to go on other forums and give them shit constantly.

Have you relocated to Earlsdon by any chance!?

You got me! I know, why do it right? Was on the fringes of moving to Hamburg and then met the future Mrs Earlsdon_Skyblue1 so stayed put!

Rivals was what made it really. Back in the innocent days when trolling was just going on other clubs' boards for a bit of a wind-up.

Esoterica · Dec 22, 2016

I reckon Texasholdem is still refreshing the GMK page every 5 minutes to see if it's back online again.

Bumberclart · Dec 22, 2016

I miss the old GMK days. Even miss the odd interjection from Hackney.
As someone else said, it was often a lot darker than here, but it wasn't a problem as we were like minded individuals.
I like SBT, but I certainly don't get anywhere near as many laugh out loud moments as I did on GMK.
There were times that being an administrator was a complete pain in the arse!

What's worse on here (and not just blaming one person) is that you get these eleventy billion page threads where the likes of Grendel argue and argue and argue and argue and it is all very humour less, dull,without wit and just constantly 'worthy.'

On GMK there would be an injection of witty banter at some point and it would be worth reading as a result. Light and dark. Shades.

This on here at times is just like a legal slanging match in a court of law and incredibly, mind-numbingly, tedious drudgery as a result.

fellatio_Martinez · Dec 22, 2016

There were times I was in tears at some of the stuff in GMK. It was a great mix of wind up merchants and wierdos but it still had enough football talk to keep casual readers happy. I agree with Otis about this forum being the opposite. Gmk was an asylum where as this is more of a library.

The minute knowl took ownership it went to shit. There were far too many admins with axes to grind who dumbed down content and the server issues meant it was very up and down. Eventually he must have just stopped paying the hosting fee to keep the site up.

I never posted much on GMK just like I don't on here and use both mainly to keep up with a fan's viewpoint whilst living so far away. I know he could be grumpy and a wind-up most of the time but there were a couple of times citizens_arrest had me laughing out loud and in tears

Nick · Dec 22, 2016

I did like the wit, nothing was taken literally.

There was one admin who seemed to have an axe to grind. The only time I ever deleted anything was when it could have landed us in hot water legally. Other peoples radical opinions or insults didn't bother me in the slightest, but ending up in court did.
