What is the story with your username on Foot.ie?

[pineapple stu]

How did you choose your username?



(Pineapple Stu, I'm looking in your direction particularly...)
Seeing as you asked so charmingingly, here you go (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=107072&postcount=15). ;)

[paul_oshea]

well its cos this isnt my real name, i decided to use it as it was someone that babysis used to fancy so i thought it would be funny.

and im a funny guy so there ye go.

haha, id forgot i'd written this :D

[passinginterest]

I was registered here before Wexford Youths existed, at the time I had little more than a passing interest in the league of Ireland, add to that the fact that I like to watch passing football and hey presto a username is born. It's now become my regular username for various fora.

[brianw82]

Brian is my first name and W is the first initial of my surname. 1982 is the year of my birth. Stick them all in a big blender with some steroids and protein powder and you get brianw82.

BEEF!

[centre mid]

brianw82 wasnt available

[Keen2win]

Who doesn't want to win???

[rambler14]

I support Cobh Ramblers hence "Rambler". I wanted that username but what do ya know someone already had it! So seeing as i'm a goalkeeper I tried "Rambler1".......same result. Then I thought long and hard and said i'd give my lucky number a try......14!
It worked and that is why i'm now known as "Rambler 14"

[HarpoJoyce]

When UCD to were in the First Division regularly, I went to Dalymount on a Friday to watch proper football and hung out with a wide group of fans from mostly Dublin LoI clubs, some of them were Bohs fans.
They gave me the nickname Harpo, because I had curly-wee hair at the time. They didn't tell me at first of course, but I was flattered it was one of by better nicknames. Anyway it stuck because I don't mind people using it. Only LoI circles use it though.
Other is my surname.

[oldyouth]

Em........I support the Youths but am of a certain vintage. Not very original but I have a better one for when I eventually get barred from here. Is Jebus II taken??

If that is the case, then why not HarpoOther?

(Damn You!)

I'm keeping a low profile. I thought I got found out earlier, but I think I've got away with it.

[Jock MIB]

Well when first joined forum i was HolycrossJock as i am from scotland and i played for team called Holycross FC in limerick but then started that great career as a Soccer Referee so took on tag of

Jock MIB as in (Men in Black)

[sadloserkid]

Am totally bored of my username now... we've been through eleven years together and I think it's almost divorce time! Also I'm 27 now and I think the kid part is sorta misrepresentative (the other two parts probably still more relevent than I'd like! :p). I would be reluctant to change mostly because dahamsta won't let me I'd imagine and also because it would lend a degree of undeserved creativity to the countless clever clogs over the years who, tied in knots by my flawless logical arguments, stoop to responding with 'You really are a sad loser kid'. I can practically see people itching to respond in that fashion even as they read this! :)

Years and years ago I was in Turners' Cross with the then girlfriend for a Cork-Bray match. As we were leaving a couple of Cork fans recognised me and started calling 'sadloserkid, sadloserkid' (it's never slk when they meet you of course...). My girlfriend's look was very clearly saying, 'Are you going to let them call you that?' Ah the memories... :)

Sounds like you're stuck with your name either way ,whether you change it or not:)

[irishultra]

lol dont no where mine came about, just wanted to say irish-something.

thought of my surname, boy, kid:rolleyes:,mad,bohs but didnt work so said ah sure i'll go for ultra for the laugh of it all.

[corkboy360]

Corkboy360 because im am from cork and was on holidays with Dubs who started calling me corkyboy although it sounded like ****yboy lol and the 360 was just something I added

[Wolfie]

A mundane reason. The usual.

I was abandoned in the Pine Forest at 18 months old. A pack of local Wolves raised me as their own.

I remained with the Wolves for 10 years until I was discovered by wandering pack of Hill Walkers in 1985.

The toilet training is coming along nicely, thanks.

Sounds like the Sprouting Fungus 'supporter' who fired a bottle into the stand at our last home game

I wish to confirm I have never been to Ferrycarrig Park!! :)

[Den Perry]

I took Den Perry after the likeable character in Phoenix Nights who burned down the club!!

[KevB76]

I copied mine off my pal JohnnyL78 :D




...seriously, I actually did :o :o

[John83]

I copied mine off my pal JohnnyL78
You cheated on your foot.ie registration? The youth of today... :rolleyes:

[Jofspring]

I'm a huge fan of The Offspring and my nickname is Jof (my initials) so Jofspring worked perfectly when the two where combined......use it as my username for everything now.

[oldyouth]

I wish to confirm I have never been to Ferrycarrig Park!! :)
I know it wasn't you Wolfie 'cos you mentioned you are toilet trained. These lads just piddled in the open at the side of the stand. In fairness, the area 30yrds away with a 10ft sign marked 'TOILETS' would have been tough for them to read.

Den Perry was an arsehole :mad::mad::p

[GalwayRed]

been a shels supporter for as long as i can remember and i moved to galway in september from swords. hence the name galwayred.

[SkStu]

a thread for people to explain, if they so desire, the reason and rationale behind their username. I notice alot of people get mine wrong (St.Stu and StSku being a couple of the common ones)...

There are a few usernames out there that make me chuckle too so hopefully will get an answer on some of them.

Anyhoo, ill start it off

SkStu

Sk = Saskatchewan (where im living)
Stu = Stu

[Aberdonian Stu]

AberdonianStu

Aberdonian = I was living in Aberdeen at the time
Stu = I was trying to write Aberdonian Student but the maximum length was Aberdonian Stud and that was a bit too much so removed the d.

[theworm2345]

Its been about 10 years, but I have always maintained:

theworm = Dennis Rodman
23, 45 = Michael Jordan's numbers

My brother has another theory that theworm is based off of Scotty 2 Hotty, who was a professional wrestler in those days who I liked, but was not one of my favorites (so I don't think I'd have included it)

[PartySaint]

I like to Party...

[Bray-Z]

I like to Party...

...everbody does!

[Eminence Grise]

The power behind the throne.

Partly because I’m a Francophile. I did a course in college and discovered it was the nickname of Cardinal Richelieu’s private secretary, whose name I’ve since forgotten. Partly because as I got older (and greyer!) I started lecturing in political communication, and got involved with a party at a modestly influential level. Now, I find that a lot of my former students are junior eminences grises, working with politicians and lobby firms and even the FAI.

But mostly because I’ m happier working behind the scenes on strategy, than out front in the limelight. Basically I’m a shy megalomaniac.

My hundredth post – and it’s turned into something of a confession...

[Longfordian]

I'm from Galway.

[SkStu]

I'm from Galway.

i knew that one.

[Paddyfield]

I'm from Longford.....

"I was trying to write Disco Stud, and ran out of space. Not that Disco Stu didn't get his share of the action"!

Did he run out of room on his birth cert too?

[Spudulika]

From Harry Enfield and Chums - The Slobs. Wayne and Waynetta were discussing what to name their new baby (the eldest being Frogmella). It was a choice of Canoe, like Keanu Reeves, or Spudulika - "Because it's exotic". It stuck in my head since and it's just one of those classic pair of comedy characters that there has to be something related to them on foot.ie. The sketch where Wayne is thrown out for loving his children too much and Waynetta not having a "braahn" baby (they were brown but that was just dirt), he rocks up at Naomi Campbells house, then runs away on her telling her she's too fat, she then turns up and offers him one of his sextuplets. Classical!

[Mr A]

I chose Galway Harps because I'm a Harps fan that lives in Galway and for some reason I couldn't choose my usual Mr A handle.

That still annoys me to be honest.

Ha. Victory is mine.

[thischarmingman]

Shut it, Galway Harps.

[dahamsta]

So tempted to change it back...

[Onefootednopace]

I could say ex- Cork City striker Denis Behan was the inspiration behind my username - But the sad truth is the name sums up my limitations as a player.

[stann]

My name is stann

[Lionel Ritchie]

I most likely answered this years ago but the sad and shameful fact is ...I am a Commodore. I go once, twice, three times a season.

Devastated,I always thought you were "him".:D

[Wolfie]

anybody any stories relating to how they got their foot.ie
name.

Just ask the Three Little Pigs. That's how I roll.

P.S - that story was altered in order to present a "happy ending".

[horton]

Stupidly(and definitely boring), I was drinking when I signed up and for some odd reason I used the name of the cul de sac I live in as a username. Smart move, I should sign up a new account but as I have only one email address I think I'm stuck with horton. Oh well.
