That is so true. Petty squabbles on a football forum mean absolutely nothing when you hear such rotten news as this. I am guilty of getting wound up and reacting badly to the opinions of others. Tonight I realise that no matter what we post, we are all singing from the same hymn sheet and have together, lost a valuable member of our PNE community.

Superb. Totally agree.
 
Never met him but was a quality poster by all accounts. Amount of replies here at such a time shows the regard in which he was held. RIP
 
Can't beleive it.
He was a argumentative pain in the arse at times but also a very funny bloke whose posts I will miss.
Gutted.
RIP Shaky .
 
Bloody Hell, what a shock. Feel like someone I know really well has passed away, but really know him for his star turn on here each day.

RIP Shaky
 
Hated the old git on here, was arsey, self opinionated and wrong about everything!!!!

But had many a good time with him at PNE games, esp during the mid 2000s. Best memory was being stood at the counter at McDs during my break from Debenhams the night after we beat Derby in the playoffs.

I get this tap on the shoulder (I was wearing a North End shirt as work didn't mind!) and next thing me and Shakes were dancing around the place as a horrified Becky looked on in embarrassment.

RIP Shakes, and up yours!
 
Shocking news, never met Shaky but read plenty of his posts, especially his bettting tips in the Lizard Lounge. RIP mate.

I love that photo. WELL DONE DEREK
 
I have been trying to reply to this for the last twenty minutes, deleting several replies before rewriting to try and type something fitting.

Myself and Dave have chatted in private for years. His humour, honesty and downright stubbornness on here have made him a complete legend on this site. In the past I know I have overstepped the mark several times with posters, and he put me straight a few times, always in a direct and honest way.

I had a common bond with Shaky on the news section, so much so that we were given delightful nicknames......I would have chosen batman and robin, unfortunately Scooby and Scrappy were the choice of others. There will certainly be less banter with his demise.

I am stunned, shocked and devastated. I am sat here in no way ashamed to say I am heartbroken typing this.

Good night, God bless my friend

All my love

Scrappy

Absolutely true Henry.

Sometimes we forget that behind every username is a real person - it may be 'virtual' but this is a real community and it's an incredible tribute to Shaky that so many people, most of whom never met him, are feeling genuine sadness right now.
 
Really can't believe this.

I met Shaky a few times in the early days of these forums when Tony G used to run it and we had Message Board meets at the Moor Park pub. Like people have said he was a top bloke and very funny.

RIP Shaky

I'll be honest, that brought a tear to my eye. Lovely tribute.
 
The beautiful pictures he put up of his beloved Lake District always made me feel homesick.

I don't post often, but I enjoyed reading Shaky's posts - some of them were comedy gold!

Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
 
Absolutely knocked for six by this news. Met Dave quite a few times and when we went to Southampton he made me laugh so much that my cheeks hurt. The time flew by everytime I was on a psg coach with him and always wanted to sit near to him because he was so much fun. Didn't know him as much as some of you lot out there but he always looked after me on here...he was a perfect gentleman to me. Going to miss his banter so much...God Bless Shaky...R.I.P. I'll always remember you telling everyone you'd seen my pussy and not forgetting Well Done Derek! Bless you, your family and all your friends, nite nite xxx
