nice post 999. How old are the grandkids now? Big chance they will go to the match I would think and that would be nice to continue on Jack’s love for the club within his close family. It must be about 5 years now since his passing, bless him. Doesn’t time fly.
February 26, 2018 at 8:42 am #16042681967, many apologies I did see and read your post above and meant to reply but from some reason various events sidetracked me and it slipped my mind until you mentioned it again.
Jack was a doting Grandfather and as you may know we stuck up a great friendship off site exchanging long e mails to each other two or three times a week and Rocky and Bam were the apples of Jack’s eye and like most Aussie kids big into their sports particularly football and Jack I know had installed his love of Chelsea in them both. Both must be early teens now.
My one regret is that Jack and I never got to meet up and I did toy with taking a trip to Albany but sadly left it to late.
Jack made a wonderful contribution to my life unknown to him he helped bring me back to my faith with his tragic illness and his courage and humour in such terrible adversity right up until the end has been an inspiration to me in fighting my own problem which manifested itself after Jack had left us.
I still have his many e mails and periodically refer back to them when I need a top up of inspiration.
We may only have been internet buddies/pen friends but he was a special bloke. Take care and God Bless. Paul
ps: I’m in regular e mail contact with Alan and we discuss Chelsea issues off site which Alan nowdays is more comfortable in doing.
February 26, 2018 at 1:02 pm #1604450That is nice mate. I am glad that you can seek inspiration in that way and hope that you are successful with those battles you refer to. Yes, let us hope that Rocky and Bam do attend that Chelsea match in Perth in honour of Jack who no doubt will be watching in from that great place in the sky.
February 26, 2018 at 1:11 pm #16044541967,Cheers mate. I’ll put up a post marking Jack’s 5th anniversary in June.Take care.
May 5, 2018 at 10:05 am #1632555Where do all the TeamTalk articles come from? I read “Atletico star set to snub Man Utd and join rivals in €100m deal” and I read “Liverpool boosted as Real turn to €100m Atletico star as Salah plan B” Both involve Griezmann, one transferring him to Real Madrid and the other to Barcelona. TeamTalk hedging their bets? 🙂
May 11, 2018 at 1:23 pm #1635087Tragedy in WA my thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families. RIP.
May 12, 2018 at 1:32 pm #1635412Very sad. Taking the lives of your nearest and dearest and then your own due to apparent financial hardship is something I have difficulty coming to terms with. I have been through it myself and that is never the answer. RIP all.
May 23, 2018 at 8:57 am #1639965Random question, but we’ve had loads of people leave this site for various other football forums. Anyone name a decent one?
May 23, 2018 at 9:09 am #1639974Amz, I’ve had experience of a few football sites mate and this one is still the best I’ve come across it would certainly be hard to find a better Chelsea site imo and there are signs that one or two are beginning to come back to the Chelsea site too.
Our old friend Jack who this General page is named after thoroughly enjoyed himself on here. Cheers 999
May 23, 2018 at 9:29 am #1639986I remember when i first started posting on here probably 5 or 6 years ago there was a good amount of posters, and we had one or 2 wind up merchants which added a good bit of banter on here too.
May 23, 2018 at 9:47 am #1640003Remember Norwayman. Actually missed the banter with him and others of that time.
May 23, 2018 at 10:17 am #1640020oh and Norwayman’s antagonist Dinamo. They were the best of friends – NOT 🙂 It was a spicy little side issue however didn’t drag in or affect the rest of us which kept the page reasonably under control and no risk of falling over and posters leaving. Jessss was always good for a laugh too.
May 23, 2018 at 10:21 am #1640025I actually liked Syd – great banter, just take what he said with a pinch of salt.
May 23, 2018 at 10:25 am #1640030until what he said about Jack after his passing. Karma will be the winner there.
May 23, 2018 at 11:28 am #16400781967, spot on re Syd and rest assured whilst I’m Moderator he will never post on the Chelsea site again because of his totally disgusting post aimed at Jack.
June 1, 2018 at 2:00 am #1643333John Terry to play for Lampard at Derby. Now that would be a smart move by Frank.

June 9, 2018 at 3:39 am #1645976Message to 999 with sympathy my friend. You are an invaluable poster as well as moderator on these pages and what I saw the other day disappoints me greatly and simply that person must be at least reprimanded by the editor. Totally uncalled for and that must not detract you from your positive input on all things football whether that be on our own pages or elsewhere. I know from reading your posts and the interaction of others that you are well received by the majority. I note that immediately after what happened you have ceased posting and can imagine there would be a bit of hurt there. Sadly it only takes one but that must not stop you from doing what you enjoy. Kind regards Chelsea1967. PS feel free to delete this post once you have read it. I just wanted to get a message across however thought this the best thread to do so 🙂
June 9, 2018 at 5:53 am #16459811967, don’t worry my friend I’m still around and have put up the odd post or two but we’re journeying down through France to Spain ovrr three days and have not been on here too much. Re the previous problems all a bit unpleasant and uneccessary but probably best left there. Thanks and Cheers 999
June 9, 2018 at 6:18 am #1645982good on you 999 have a fun time on your journeys and catch up soon 🙂
June 9, 2018 at 3:35 pm #1646143Paul – Like ‘chelsea1967’ I, too, had noticed that you have not posted of late but assumed (it seems, correctly) that you were taking the close season off to have some well-earned holiday. Rather shame-faced in the light of ‘1967’ having written in, may I join him in wishing you a restful and pleasant time in France; see if you can find a top striker down there!
Here at home you may have noticed that my recent offering on DoF has been greeted by a stunned silence from the masses; now there’s a surprise. Also, prompting no reaction has been news that a top British businessman has had a £2B offer for CFC rejected by Mr Abramovich. I dont wish to invade your vacation, I will just say that(for a multitude of reasons) I wish he hadn’t. More when you are back in harness.
