When my family moved to Longstone in Armagh in 71 I played a lot of football with my new friends, when my mother would call me for dinner I would ask what was for dinner, if she said steak or chicken or pork she would not see me until two hours later, but if she said stew I was gone immediately, my next door neighbour noticed this over a period of months and started calling me stew, hence my name on here 45 years later.

Shane why were you named after an Armagh football club?  :P
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Tony Baloney

The Sopranos was nearing the end at the time so probably picked a name similar to that in the programme.

I'm hoping most names have a more exciting story!

My buddy arrived in with his boxer dog who he always referred to as the big fella while I was registering.

Our club changed the name of the ground to De La Salle park around the time I joined, so I figured I'll keep it as Milltown Row!

I have used Take Your Points since I joined the Board when football began in 2002.  On occasion, I used to be confused by some posters with the much more famous Goals Will Come who has changed his username for some reason  ;).  Someone else registered Take Yer Points and occasionally posts with it and I wouldn't want to be associated with his/her posts.

No particular reason why I chose Take Your Points other than it was a much used phrase heard at games.  In 2005, I was named in a thread created for that purpose by a disgruntled work colleague who didn't like my appointment at that time and who created a username to do so that disappeared shortly afterwards.  I continued to use the same username but have begun using my own name since last week as I had always planned to do so when I retired from work and only just got around to it.
