giblet Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The original Tartan army pages followed onto Ezzys board and so forth. 20 years of my life browsing whilst getting paid and stuck with my user name which referenced a crass song by me and my pals from teenage years about gibleting Gib. Yup a lot of pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrystarfish Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It was back in 2000 or 2001 I joined, definitely before the Belgium game where we lost 2-0 and our WC '02 campaign ended as I remember organising / researching some stuff for that on the TAMB. The main thing I remember about the early days was that a week after I joined, a soon-to-be-infamous poster named Hawkeye Ranoo started posting, after finding the board through his son Richie. I think for the first month or two he wrote constantly in slang, all 'ra' this and 'ra' that, before he got so much stick he cut it out. I never even knew such such a dialect existed up until then, I expected all weegies to write slang like it was in the Broons. Every day's a school day on the TAMB.

How disappointing ,' Dave' just doesnt have the same mystery surrounding it. I had to google the name , funnily enough the real Mario looks like what I imagine Dave looks like.

Marky Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I assume my profile joining date of 30 September 2003 must have been when the TAMB started? I was a member of Ezzy's Board from when I got back from Zagreb in 2000 and to the best of my knowledge I just migrated onto the TAMB like everyone else?

SMcoolJ Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think I joined in 2001? Used the board for advice/info on the Belgium away game. Met quite a few folk from here in a pub on Windmall Brae before the Nigeria friendly at Pittodrie. Never did buy a tee-shirt! Just been told I met Scotty CTA in Dortmund! We made it into his TA calendar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I genuinely can't remember when I joined or how I even found out about this place. I seem to remember trying to log on from work (start as you meant to continue and all that) at some point when they're was a new Manager being announced and I couldn't get on. Might have been Burley but that was 2008 and I'm pretty sure I was active before Paris in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davied14 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 One of my mates joined in 2002 and he suggested I do likewise. The first thread I remember posting in was entitled "Frontline Scotland" and was discussing who should start up front vs the Faroes. Remember the "bullet holes" under your avatar on the old board?

neilser Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Like a few others here I joined in September 2003. A mate of my brother's had gone through a total faff to get us all tickets for the Scotland v Germany game the previous June (when they had small numbers of tickets scattered round branches of Safeways or possibly Morrison's all over Scotland) and I wanted to make sure I knew the story for the Netherlands playoff. After joining and reading countless posts I drove my brother down from Aberdeen to Edinburgh on a Saturday morning the following month at 4am to get in the queue for the 2,000 tickets that Tickets Scotland in Rose Street were selling, after deciding that the supermarket route was too risky . We got the tickets and after that I was hooked. I felt like I lived here for a good while a few years back - times move on but it's been a blast.

There must have been quite a few who didn't bother heading home after a night out and just went straight there. Was a great feeling after joining the queue and doing a quick estimate of the numbers ahead of us (about 600 maximum) and knowing that we were guaranteed to get the tickets.

Toepoke Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 There was a post, might have been on here, about a queue in Safeway for Holland play-off tickets. Folk waited in it for hours only for the first guy in the queue to buy all the tickets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
