most people on here tend to know eachother from meetups, etc etc, therefore in that case personally I have no problem in calling people by their first name, or someone calling me susan.
If you dont want to then fine...its up to you really. I just dont see the point in getting het up about it

I'm not het up Granny Weatherwax - you asked me why I thought it was bad form and I tried to explain my point of view. Of course you can behave any way you like - that's not the point I was making. I was just trying to explain to people who do refer to other posters comments with their real name that it can make other feel excluded and can lead to some confusions about whose point they are responding to.
Merely trying to elucidate on what James and Pete said earlier. I particularly like what Pete said - but then he's a published author so you'd expect him to have a clear view on this sort of subject.

There is no way the players call Adam El-Abd "Kebab". That's just an infantile nickname some little boy on here has come up with.
Even when the posters use players nicknames correctly its still cringeworthy. "Fozzy", you dont know him, so why do you call him that? It's just a lame attempt to try and make it seem as though you are on level terms with him.

The worst ones are "FDM" and "OGH". Yuck.
Giant Leslie was having that op if you recall - apparently it came off ok, but they had some issues turning it inside out.
Dave and GG know all about it.

i'm lost on this one? When 'everybody' supported The Albion in the late 70's/early 80's, Wardy, Fozzie, Sully, Nobby, Clarkie etc were all household names, It was what we called them.

There's not a problem with team mates referring to each other by their nicknames, it's just when you hear people at games shouting "Hit it Muzza". If I'm playing football and I hear people who don't know me shouting my nickname from the sideline I'd just end up thinking what a f***ing twat.

I think these groups are not the majority though, I for one do not know anyone on here personally except for my son, and only then because he told me. !
