    What do we think people. Personally for me, The Ravens sounds good to me
    Then theres Sporting or maybe others can suggest some names.

    Or should we just let it develope

    just know other fans from other clubs are going to comment now. Bring it on

    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

    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.

    Whats wrong with just Sporting or Fingal?

    I look forward to seeing if the Ravens can challenge to get into the big four in the division, though who would they knock out of it - the Ships, the Castles, the Martlets or the, eh, Spire?
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    For someone who is "a girl" he did a pretty good job on the Athlone leftback (no7?) in the first half. Tore him asunder so he did and left him crying like a girl.

    I think just "Fingal" will suffice as it the real power of the club is its claim to representing a community living in a well defined place.

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

    The name The Ravens is not just because it is on the badge. The Raven is synonymous with the area. I like the Vikings for a similar reason. (synonymous with the area, just for the slow)

    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...

    Just have to let it develope naturally. I'm using Sporting myself because it's just a handy way to describe them. Hardly a nickname though is it. Sporting over in Portugal are called the lions. Namely because they have a lion on their crest which signifies something no doubt.
