Fight!

    It’s been a very very real pleasure, proud to have my name on that list.
    As I told you before,
    a rockstar and a gent.
    Peace out and you should be proud,
    Miss Cole

    Thank you Broadsheet. It’s been an amazing ride since I first discovered you. Never to be forgotten and always in my heart and mind forever. Adieu.

  5. Whatever

    Been here since early days, I’m going to miss Broadsheet terribly. All the very best to you all.

    Good night and God bless, if you believe that sort of thing and good luck for the future to everyone. If I’ve insulted anyone I didn’t mean it. It was all in the heat of the moment.

  10. Slightly Bemused

    Thanks, John and all. It has been a pleasure.

    To echo Janet’s comment above, I am honoured and proud to be on your list.

    Do not gently go, but softly, softly, and let minds recall you with fondness

    It’s going to be strange not checking Broadsheet in the mornings anymore, not to mention the “debates” in the comments section.

    All the best.

    saddened to hear this but glad to get in before the last curtain. thanks bodger – I know I was a nuisance on occasion but very genuinely i did always appreciate what you were doing. and while I didnt always agree with, I did always admire and respect you; genuine, real fondness for you. loads of others on here who I loved dearly – too many to mention but most of all, janet.in fact, i dont think ive ever like someone so much who I didnt end up riding, so it’s likely destined.

      now that’s made me happy, so glad you popped up, you were missed …ya sexy thing

    I have followed you guys since the beginning , you have always been a breath of fresh air. Tá brón orm ní bheidh sibh thart níos mó. Go raibh míle maith agaibh don serbhis, is minic a lá no oíche a chaith mé anseo.
    Ádh more

    One thing I was hugely impressed with was when ye stood up to Denis O’Brien’s lawyers about republishing the Waterfordwhispers article about Gilligan being similar to himself in a parallel universe. As I recall every other platform crumbled at the mere recipient of a desist letter. Fair play to yis for taking that stand. Whilst I agree with a lot of posters you may may have shot yourselves in the foot, on the whole you did far more good, and should be very proud. I hope you reemerge in some other enterprise. Take care

    To each one their own!
    Broadsheet , reimagined, reinvented, like a Phoenix, it’s contributors, mentors, and creators now have a new job to do.
    Let’s get cracking on a new incarnation tut sweet!!!

    1. SOQ

      Absolutely- and with strong moderation to keep the sewer rats out.

      All the best lads- well done.

  22. Big Lad

    Here’s a question…

    If you’re one of the LAST people here, aren’t you also by definition one of the reasons why other people left?

    I’m not accusing you of anything.
    I’m referring to the ever diminishing gene pool

  28. mills

    Thanks lads.

    I’ve said more than enough over the past few days. It’s been wild. Best of luck and see you on the other side…

    Ye big rides ;)

  30. Clampers Outside

    All the best Broadsheet, John, and the all of the gang in the comments section…. I’ll miss you all :)

    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don’t need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free…

  33. John Gallen

    Thank you for the shout out John. Missing you and the ‘sheet already.
    It’s been a beautiful final few days reading all the farewell posts and comments…. the warmth, the love and the memories.
    Namaste,
    John
    aka….
    Well… if you know, you know ❤️

    Longtime reader, first time poster. Thank you, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this site. Good luck

    Best of luck John & all. I’ve been here from the start in a few incarnations and tbh through phases of fluctuating mental health. Broadsheet was a constant & I was annoyed and amused in equal measure by the commenters. I also won two record vouchers which was nice. Didn’t like the recent change of focus but still commented, skulked and always checked next morning papers at 11pm religiously. Will really miss the site!
