Turtyturd

Best Newcomer in 2014: Larry Wildman

Thread of the Year: LFC Superthread. Slickric described it already, easily the best thread on the forum. Got a bit out of hand at times last year but seeing how much it got to some made it worthwhile :pac: . And despite the pantomine Lloyd and Alan vs everyone stuff it's a good group of regular posters.

Post(s) of the Year: Grayditch... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=90149047&postcount=8732

Best Overall Poster: Pilsbury Doughboy. Might seem like there is a touch of the Heath Ledger/Joker about this vote but 'The Doughboy' was a pillar of the thread, got along with everybody, and always had a good insight/opinion. Wherever he has gone.....I wish him well.

Most Biased Poster: Liam O

LOI poster of the year: Omackrel

Non-EPL poster of the year: dfx

Poster who left too soon (not banned): 5Live. No words to do justice.

Most likely to be banned in 2015: Dayum looks like the obvious choice but I think he'll come back from his ban 'reformed' and with a better idea of how to walk the line. Something makes me thik it will be a Liverpool poster, and hangballlouie has his cards marked so I'll go with him.

Best Newcomer in 2014: Augeo
Thread of the Year: Draw a footballler thread obviously, but also the Brazil v Germany match thread as everyone reacted

LOI poster of the year: Don't pay much attention, but from the odd time I drop in... dreamers75

HalloweenJack

Best Newcomer in 2014: Don't know who the newcomers are.
Thread of the Year: Probably the Humour thread around April time.
Post(s) of the Year: The Liverpool fan who had an over-the-top send-off, complete with Kenny Powers gifs.

Most Biased Poster: Really?.... Andersonisgod
LOI poster of the year: Think dreamer75 is the most knowledgeable and balanced. He knows his stuff, can be biased but will accept the charge and I find myself agreeing with him most.
Non-EPL poster of the year: oat23. He always pops up in the quieter threads with a decent amount info.
Poster who left too soon (not banned): DazMarz - at times, he'd push AIG for most biased poster.
Most likely to be banned in 2015: Really stuck for a suggestion, no idea.

Post of the year:

Take a bow niallo

PhlegmyMoses

Best Newcomer in 2014:
Thread of the Year: Draw a footballer
Post(s) of the Year: Futureguy Simpsons
Best Overall Poster: SlickRic
Most Biased Poster: Andersonisgod
LOI poster of the year: Pighead
Non-EPL poster of the year: inforfun
Poster who left too soon (not banned):
Most likely to be banned in 2015: Too hard to pick just one. Any of the usual suspects that circlejerk each other whenever a Utd Liverpool thing pops up. Banning around 6 from either side would greatly improve things and it's probably going that way anyway.
