Rico is certainly Matt Richards' nickname. Anyone within a certain distance can hear either Elphick or Forster shouting it on matchdays.

It's a bit like 'Fat-Gatts', before he left us to persue a career in cricket.

Not as bad as referring to other posters using their real name.

Why is that then Andy?? Oh Sorry Andy!!!

 

[Deleted User X18H]

When Kuipers shouts 'Elf Elf Elf' I always think he is talking to Dean Cox or even Mick(e)y Adams

 

[Don Quixote]

michel kuipers seems to sepnd the match shouting: "WHING"

You can't help yourself can you. And just to make a point, I don't think you are supposed to divulge other users private details on the message board.

The H Block legend that is Beaney once made the mistake of calling (oo-ah) Richard Carpenter 'Carpy'. Only the once mind. He never heard the end of it til 'Carpy' left the club

That, for me, depends on the circumstance.

If the poster in question is someone who I have met in real life and who I have a decent friendship with, then I have no problem using their real name and equally no problem with them using mine if they so choose.

 

[Napper]

when a poster willuse their own unique pet name for a player and push it at every chance it is particularly sad.

El Bad and titus el abd was very twatish

I have no problem with people calling me Russ or Russell on here as, well it is my name, although each to their own.

Thats the whole point of having a "username" so your own civvy street remains unknown.
If people want their username to be the same as the civvy street known name than that is their choice.

I agree with programme seller on this. But more than that, there is also a certain amount of demonstrating that you are in the know - it's can have the effect of making other people feel excluded. It's the equivalent of name dropping on a very low level.

Finally, these are public threads. If someone just pipes up with "Nice one Benjy" or whatever, only those who know who 'Benjy' is will know which post is being referred to and so that puts everyone else at a disadvantage. So again it seeks (either consciously or unconsciously) to create an us and a them - a clique if you will.

It's a very similar thing to whispering in other people's company. Irritating, rude and tantamount to bullying. And I fundamentally dislike that kind of attitude.
