    Club Nicknames

    Cork City has been the only club with a forum description ("The Rebel Army") for several months now, I thought ye'd be up in arms about that. Do none of the other clubs have nicknames? Nicknames for themselves, that is...

    The real reds would be what most people use as a nickname for Shelbourne, but it's rarely used since everyone just uses Shels.

    UCD - The Students (or College). Really imaginative...
    Kildare are the Thoroughbreds. Sligo are the Bit O' Red. Monaghan are the Magic Mons (don't know if that's a nickname per se though...)
