Re: Gaudino's Stolen Car

I can't believe I'm so upset about someone I didn't know,his posts were hilarious and yet he could be deadly serious and quite perceptive.
I'll miss his posts and I would like to pass on my condolences to his family.
He'll certainly be missed down here.

Re: Gaudino's Stolen Car

The main feeling I have right now is utter bewilderment, completely stunned by this.

Scares you when someone this young is snatched away, it's just tragic.

Some people try to argue that nobody has an influence or a presence on here that everybody on here looks up to, well I think tonight proves that GSC certainly did have that. There was a reason he was voted at the top of the Bluemoon's Most Popular Poster last year, because in his own unique way he completely changed off-topic. We are now the forum equivalent of Rome infested with cats, cellars are no longer used for storing wine and none of us will ever look a tea-towel the same way again. That was him, and it's tragic that I have to say was, as there's now a gaping hole down here that with the best will in the world nobody will fill.

I never got to meet him which is a shame, and although we went back and forth a fair bit he also understood others and knew how to amuse them yet not go too far(too often!). I want to share a PM he sent me just before christmas, as I think it sums up that ability he had to be piss funny but to also be a good bloke at the same time:

How's it going JMW, looking back now I appreciate the support you gave around my ban even though it was a losing battle. Sometimes I call people cunts when they aren't, you know that first hand! You stand up for what you think is right.

Maybe it's time we retired the 'c' word from BM. A fitting tribute to GSC.


I hope it's only his cousin who reads Sams tributes and links to his posts and not his Mum :-s

Re: Our Off-Topic Family

As others have said more eloquently its the community spirit we get on here that cant be replicated in other walks of life; be it friends, family or people at work.

I dont even think it has that much to do with City anymore.

All I can say to him as he looks down on us is that at least up there mate I can't be an arse and report you and you can't get banned up there.

Think there's only one way I can sum this up, and I think he wouldn't want it any other way with his light-hearted nature.

RIP Sam, you dear old ****.

That's the only way I can think of putting it really...was there anybody he was responsible to that we could send up a donation page to help out, or a charity he would have liked donations to or even if we just put our heads together and buy a tribute to him for the funeral as a thank you for the memories sort of thing?

Just typing funeral made it seem so more real, fuck, these things never make any sense to me, so tragic, RIP Sam, I'll miss you buddy.

Wonderful post Ben, absolute nail on the head there

Re: Gaudino's Stolen Car

RIP Blue - Top poster, top man, loved by many.

I'd like to think that he lived his short life to the full - He saw the Blues win the Prem and he made us all laugh.

Sincere condolences to Sam's family and friends.

Re: Gaudino's Stolen Car

Didn't know the guy, yet his catchy monicker made you want to read his posts. As it was without a doubt the best user name on here. Always thought he was older than his picture suggests?

However what can't be questioned was perhaps the most ridiculous and brilliant sense of humour Bluemoon has seen?

R.I.P mate x

Re: Gaudino's Stolen Car

I've just heard about GSC. Can't believe it, awful news. I always enjoyed reading his posts on here. I never met him, but he came across as the sort of bloke I would have liked to have gone on a session with. I know we would have had a nobble. Gutted that I never got the opportunity to.
RIP Sam.
