Super_Realist Memorial Thread

by McLaren Fri 15 Jan 2021, 3:13 pm

I assume the man behind the Super_Realist account is still alive and kicking IRL, but for whatever reason he does not appear to be present around these parts anymore.

This is a thread where people can share their memories of SR and just pay homage to the great man.

I particularly enjoyed s_r's appreciation of the great Sir Lewis Hamilton. It brings a tear to my eye.

by JAS Fri 15 Jan 2021, 6:03 pm

I particularly loved his incisive insights into the condition of Scottish Football. The endless predictions of hopelessness and humiliation. He was particularly scathing of any optimism I had about the return of Rangers to the top of the pecking order, so it's particularly frustrating that he hasn't stuck around :-p

Still, I'm sure obese lazy people, dreadful politicians like Sturgeon, Salmon, Corbyn and Abbot will all sleep easier in their beds knowing that they'll no longer be the subject of his caustic wit.

To be fair he was a decent golfer and a decent runner, so there was usually stuff to glean from him in conversation if we could drag him away from scathing attacks on most of the aforementioned targets...oh and his attitude to our Irish cousins which quite closely resembled Alf Garnets love of Nigerians in its comedy value. Yep he will be missed!!

I do hope he is ok and just taking a rest.

Thing is, I think Super was actually as good at golf as he said he was. You usually have to take online handicap claims with a pinch of salt but for some reason his scratch claim came off as credible.

Just a shame I could never educate him enough about golf course architecture that he could fully appreciate the greatness of TOC. Plus I always thought there was a chance to get a round out of him at some point.

I saw him as a loveable Father Jack like figure. Hypicrite! Religion! Fatty!

I think he possibly went to private school. He had quite a few views that if you are Scottish tend to have come from private education.

Come on people. I expected way more memories of Super to be shared here.

by Shotrock Sun 17 Jan 2021, 6:38 pm

His empathy. That's what I miss the most. Wink

Why? This is essentially a WUM thread (perhaps I should delete it?). You professed to want him re-posting here; can't see this being a positive influence to be fair.

This obviously wasn't meant to be taken seriously but does that make it a WUM thread?

Possibly not, but my latter point still stands.

If super is reading these boards I think he would get the joke. I hope to see him around these parts soon.

by pedro Tue 19 Jan 2021, 1:04 am

He probably shot a 59 at TOC and is now turning pro.

Winter greens though?

Covid is one thing, but it was pretty bad that we lost Kwini and Super in 2020. A terrible year for the 606v2 golf community.

by McLaren Thu 25 Feb 2021, 8:16 pm

I need to hear Supers thoughts on tonight's Rangers result.

by Shotrock Thu 25 Feb 2021, 8:20 pm

If this TW ordeal doesn't warrant a comment from Super, then I fear he's gone for good!

by pedro Thu 25 Feb 2021, 10:38 pm

At least I would have expected a comment about his ‘sparrow legs’.

McLaren wrote:I need to hear Supers thoughts on tonight's Rangers result.

It would be a difficult one for him to swallow thats for sure :-p

I think Shotrock nails it, if TW's accident doesn't illicit a response then he's gone for good.

by McLaren Tue 02 Mar 2021, 2:59 pm

Is it weird that in accepting Super is gone from this forum I am left feeling quite gutted?

by beninho Tue 02 Mar 2021, 3:14 pm

It's all very strange.

...because its a lost opportunity to play TOC as a members guest?? :-p

I'm finding SR2 more than his equal for a political joust. Don't think he plays golf anywhere though, never mind anywhere notable

by Davie Tue 02 Mar 2021, 4:14 pm

Has anyone considered reaching out to the admins? Either to find out of he's been permanently banned or to see if someone can get an email to him (without giving away his address of course). Perhaps an admin could email on our behalf?

To be honest I've got on with a lot more work at home since he departed :-p

This isn't a bad idea, it feels like he wasn't likely to just decide to stop posting, so he either got a long ban or something unfortunate has happened to him. Can any mods help us with this?

by Duty281 Tue 02 Mar 2021, 5:09 pm

He hasn't been banned as far as I can make out. Some posters just tire of this place and drift away.

Not banned as far as I know. Last login on the entire forum on Dec 24th. Think he just left.

Stop reading things into this where there's nothing. He was getting blowback from all corners and, if I was to guess, decided that it was no longer worth the effort. Give him credit - at least he went cold turkey, which would fit w/ his view on all things like obesity etc i.e. it's just willpower etc.

To be fair, I've had a couple of wobbles but the turkey is never allowed to get cold enough :-p

I dobt think SR1 was actually right wing. Just liked to be contrary.

I was forgetting Kwini has also gone walkabout .His PGA tour articles were genuinely good work
Super certainly seemed like the type to do everything full throttle so his leaving is just as thorough.

Yes, very sad to lose Kwini and Super in quick succession.

I am pretty sure Super is right of centre. He was big on the self reliance and responsibility type of conservatism. In that he clearly thought that people need minimal help from the state or others to make a success of their life.[/quote]

Much like myself Mac look after yourself and your family minimum interference.Talking of folk going missing I left work end of Dec and tried to contact an old work friend yesterday 66 years old and sadly found out he is no longer available in the complete sense.NIce fella fit and well to me but not with us anymore makes U think

s_r: the Piers Morgan of 606v2?

by dynamark Thu 11 Mar 2021, 8:16 am

I have an intense dislike of Morgan and his mouth but did rather doubt Megans story re her mental health when you consider she is a successful,savvy.well travelled,wealthy member of the acting and entertainment scene.It just didnt seem to fit but hey ho

by BlueCoverman Thu 11 Mar 2021, 9:02 am

What a complete berk Harry is, he could have had any woman in the world as his wife and he chose that.

Mental health issues can affect anyone regardless of job, status, wealth etc.

by dynamark Thu 11 Mar 2021, 11:11 am

Julius well aware mate and Im not in a position to know or judge but she seems a very bright well connected young lady with all manner of folk around her for support It may be she just underestimated what it would all be about.You cannot really expect to marry into Royal family and live a quiet life but she was a top media person.Tough gig.

by McLaren Thu 11 Mar 2021, 11:26 am

Any chance the mods could move the Meghan chat somewhere else. This is afterall a memorial thread.

by dynamark Thu 11 Mar 2021, 12:09 pm

Sorry Mac .My chat is done

by Duty281 Thu 11 Mar 2021, 12:13 pm

It's lovely symmetry.

Super_Realist has left 606, Harry's left the Royal Family. Maybe they're actually the same person? It would explain why he's not posting here, far too busy dealing with the Oprah stuff.

Has anyone ever seen the two of them in the same room at the same time?

by pedro Thu 11 Mar 2021, 11:49 pm

Meghans mental issues came from living with super_realist

by dynamark Fri 12 Mar 2021, 8:19 am

On the Leicester city footy forum we used to get the team leaked by a poster about an hour before it was public He was always correct every time and obviously speculation as to where the leak came from.Then Demari Gray left for Germany and the postings stopped.anything is possible !

by incontinentia Sun 14 Mar 2021, 8:11 am

Sad to hear of Super's demise. I really enjoyed his direct, no nonsense style and often hilarious overreactions to things. No friend of Tiger Woods, the Irish, Americans, Alex Salmond, organised religion.. the list is endless really, but I think he was a decent chap behind it. Also a top golfer in real life it seemed. I first encountered him on the bbc 606 golf site circa 2008. The board will be poorer without him.

Just nipped in on the off chance there was some lee westwood chat.
I see the IQ level is still pretty low here, perhaps Soops had enough, think I'll not bother again.
Disappointing and disappointed...
