A few months late but here it is. Vote for your favourite post of the year from 2008. Poll will remain open for 10 days.

There may be a prize for the overall winner but it's not decided yet.

Woohoo- I got a vote, I'm so happy!

I'd like to thank my Mom and my Dad and the scary leprechaun that no one else can see who tells me when people are plotting against me.

yeah, but on the other hand it was magic me... Just saying ;)

Bluebeard's post captures the importance of football in a mans life. And made me smile too, so he gets my vote

Compared to previous years the standard is crap unfortunately. Says it all when an anecdote rather than a witty remark is leading the poll.

Any chance of a "post of Foot.ie so far" poll made up of the winners of post of the year? Or have we not had enough years yet?

I think it's only been running three years. Couldn't swear to it though.

I am amazed that nothing from the famous "Dumbass" thread got nominated.

Similarly, how R***n *osa failed to get a nomination is another mystery.

Agreed. He was the only funny guy on here.
Is there anyone out there that knows him?

Well, there'd be a bit of it anyway - you're generally more in tune with your mates sense of humour, and guess who they tend to support?

I've never voted (or not voted) for someone on the basis of what club they support, but I imagine some people might, and there's bound to be some subconcious bias too.

I voted for myself once in a POTM competition before I saw how terribly uncool it was.

Well lads i can honestly say i didn't even hear about this thread until Sligoman messaged me to say i won, so i had no hand in getting the GUFC vote.

Center-mid would have been a worthy winner.

I'd like to thank God..... well because he decided to flood Cobh, which lead to my story :D

Sorry Bluebeard i think you will find that should be infamous

The infamous "Dumbass Thread".

DUSTY: What does that mean? Infamous?
NED: Ah, Dusty! Infamous is when you're more than famous! This Dumbass thread is not just famous, he's IN-famous!
LUCKY: A hundred thousand pesos to do a personal appearance on the Dumbass thread, who is probably the biggest thread to ever come out of foot.ie!
DUSTY: Wow, the IN-famous? IN-famous?
