What do we think people. Personally for me, The Ravens sounds good to me:D
Then theres Sporting or maybe others can suggest some names.
Or should we just let it develope:rolleyes:
just know other fans from other clubs are going to comment now. Bring it on:cool:
Let me get this in before the shelbourne hordes do it. "Spingal"
Is that bird on your badge a raven? if so then its got to be the ravens.
Ravens is a bit awkward, lest we wish to anger our overlords in the GAA. There's a GFC called Fingal Ravens in Skerries so we cant be doing with that. How about "The Vikings" to denote our scandanavian past and to understand the Irish name Fine Gall = band of foreigners:D
Why has it got to be the ravens? We have three Martlets on our crest and we arent called "The Martlets". And the ravens sounds too american or something.Quote:

not mad about sporting. It seems a bit obvious. I think of the lisbon team when I hear that. What about the 300 sportins:D
:D I think that was Dublin City's nickname.Quote:

Its got to be Sporting. (how about the men in Black)
I dub thee "Athlete's Foot", as "Sporting Fungus" is just a bit too childish. ;)
Cant exactly be men because dunno what the hell Robbie Doyle is with those leggings!:pQuote:

Darren Young was that poor that a skilful Under 10 would have caused him problemsQuote:

Do you read VIZ? Because spongle is also called man-pop, a jizzy substance that results from wristular relaxation. Hardly a good topic to get into...:(Quote:

How did Everton get the Toffeemen? I mean its not as if theres a sweet on their crest. ;]
From giving out free toffees at games.
And didn't Sunderland get called the Rokerites after Roker Park? Maybe we should be called the "Mortons", with a silent T. ;}
I'll have to do capitals here to get my point across. DESPITE OUR RECENT APPEARANCE IN PINK, WE ARE THE MEN IN BLACK!!!!:mad:Quote:

Everton got the nickname “The Toffees” from “Ye Ancient Everton Toffee House” situated next door to the pub on whose premises the club was formedQuote:
