Would someone please post the nicknames/real names of the players & coaches as it can be annoying to read posts that use names that many members do not recognise.

Fire out a few examples Yogi?Originally Posted by yogibear
I am the million man.
Dumper, Cooder, Beta being just a few I suppose
"Everything good about Ireland can be found in County Cork"....Lonely Planet Guide 2012
Just to get in early on this, we're going to be coming down harder on insulting nicknames, including (sadly) Houdini for Heaslip.
things like Beta, babydoc, DOCv2.0 don't seem too bad to me but I think most people would agree that calling Borlase "malaise" is insulting.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Every plan I have is the best plan in the room. Everybody get quiet and listen to it, and everybody will win
Ah those ones are too easy - add in the Bear, Puppy, plus the Todgers, Chavs, etc for the complete list
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat
Champers, Fester(Woody?) +others mentioned above. It is something that happens intermittently.I recognise a fair few, but wonder about newer members.
In all fairness whats wrong with Houdini? Borlase is fair enough!
Beta is pretty self explanatory, Donncha O'Callaghan was the first DOC = Alpha.
Dave O'Callaghan is the second DOC so he's Beta.
The Bear, as Dumptruck has said, was a made up rumor nickname about the size of Denis Leamy's hands.
I believe Puppy was in relation to Marcus' physique as a younger man (from years ago? maybe even his Shannin days?)
The team named McGahan Dumper IIRC
I am the million man.
Champers is Shaun Payne, Shaunpayne sounds a lot like Champagne
Fester is Woody, self explanatory.
I am the million man.
I thought Marcus's "Puppy" name was when he came home from a match with two black eyes??
“We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fail policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.” They haven't gone away, you know"
Dead right about the Borlase stuff. Unfair and uncalled for.
I am the million man.
where do you start??
Dumper-TOny MacGahan
Dutchy-jaon Holland
DoC V 2.0/beta Dave O'Callaghan
Puppy- Marcus Horan
Mushy-Tony Buckley
A lot are self explanatory....Donners ,Rog, POC etc
Chavprays/Hairsprays-Ospreys
Pest -Wasps
Tiggers -Leicester
Not nots -London Irish
London Saffas- Saracens
Weshties-Connacht

\"As she lay there dozing next to me, one voice inside my head kept saying, \'Relax, you\'re not the first doctor to sleep with one of his patients\', but the another kept reminding me, \' you are a veterinarian!\'\"
Felix has been called Noddy on here from time to time (again self explanatory)

Heard recently that the players used to call Lifiemi Mafi, Larry Murphy
Cooder is Eddie O'Sullivan. Cooder is a character in the Simpsons who worked in a carnival of some sort and Eddie or his family worked in a carnival of some sort.

Chris Czekaj - '28' - The score his name would get in a game of scrabble.

36 ............... billy Twelvetrees...
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
P3 = Petrie Wannenburg in Ulster (his first name)
22poo = Sammy Tuitupu
...in what way will you feel more Irish if you force me to give up my feeling of being British? - David Ervine
It's the context from which he was thusly dubbed. It's borderline. It's slightly demeaning, albeit meant more humourously than abusively about a particular phenomenon associated with him. It could be perceived as insulting, but could also be construed as a compliment. Because it is with regard to a particular, point in time phenomenon, it is not substantially defamatory, but is certainly not sladerous!
That's my tuppence. PC gone mad I tell ya! I look forward to witnessing the endeavours to police "insults" effectively, objectively and impartially! I'll give you an example. Would "Skinny" now be not kosher to the extent that the hurtful tag need be retracted? Is saying "not kosher" now completely unkosher?
The mind boggles! Best of luck with this Joey et al.! I don't envy your role in trying to ajudicate on the difference between banter and harmless slagging and what might possibly be construed as serious pointed insult and slander...What's next to be outlawed just in case? Sarcasm?

YES

Is there any rational behind calling the Nordies Todgers...................
Gerald Cordle (ex Cardiff). - Teflon - because he had non-stick hands
I never got it. But then I don't understand how the Nordies and Easties call us Turnips

How about Steppy McSteppington for Duncan Williams?
We'll have to uncuff him and "de-dildo" him, obviously... Smash up the furniture like he was chasing you all rapey. Fortunately, he's Italian so that shouldn't be too hard to sell.
