Lets lighten the mood and try to avoid the sniping and biting that sometimes takes place. Maybe we have - well not me but certainly others - have moaned a bit too long now about who should not be picked/ sacked/ requires hospital appointments etc for the next game.

I suggest we discuss ............ members avatars and how they influence and reflect the aim of the post/message that is being made !!!!

I would like to kick off with Newgroundb4cas and the splendid one he has chosen. Just one simple question......is that really you ?

Mines one I picked out of the forum gallery as I couldn't upload one of my own.
It said it was too big for the parameters set out for avatars.

Mine is from my name Baz and the 44 is from Big Al's waist line

or was it is neck size

Winnintrin stands to reason as a name;

absolutely love everything about this club, its history, its players, and the potential it has to become part of my children's lives as much as it has mine, truly: Wakefield til I die, irrespective of division, players, coaching staff or the bit of grass that we play on. You all know that special feeling you get when we're winning!

And the avatar, well that's just a selfie taken with the aid of a mirror, a cameraphone, and the [itiniest[/i smidgen of paintshop pro.......

also his IQ.

I thought it was the amount of times he's ever opened his wallet

Like your style winnintrin.
I can't wait to hear if ngb4cas avatar is a selfie.

Mine's from the name - it actually a sand cat (ain't Google images wonderful). The picture looks as fierce as some of our tackling this year, but this is supposed to be a lighter thread. The reason for the "sand" is I live in Sandal and the 20 .... well I forgot the password etc. for the original user name of Sandcat



so created a new one with a 20 though God knows why - maybe it was the 20th of the month, maybe we'd just scored 20 or maybe I meant it to be 2 and hit 0 as well!!

Mines Lindsay Gill, Wally's minder.

Mines non existent as I don't know how to do it but my chosen name is because I loved the series and have a life long love of Purdy (Joanna Lumly).

A piece of snatch definitely worth hunting down.....

How could anybody not love the burly tashed Mary Millington??

She'd be 69 if she was still alive.

Mine has Reborn added because I had to re-register after forgetting my password.

The picture is an Avro RJ aircraft one of which I had gave me the biggest fright & most fun I have had flying through a thunderstorm over the Alps.

Mine was originally going to be Fat Lads Mate,who posted on here as Fat Lad At The Back and is a good friend,but the wife said it was a bit insultive,hence Big Lads Mate which Also ties up with growing up round Painthorpe and surrounding areas when I always seemed to have big lads round me that helped when round Wakey and bumping into Lupo's or the Streethouse lot.

Bren2k is the start of an email address I've had for donkeys years; the avatar is an Ossett Brewery beer that happens to look a bit like it - I think they named it as a mark of respect.

Upthecats obviously upping the wildcats....was always more a trinity man than wildcats but thought i would put the cats bit in to stay with the times...was nearly 10 years ago now!

Avatar is William Buick....one of the very best jockeys in my other main passion in life horse racing......being a pro gambler he's done me many good turns.....theres actually one or two I prefer more now but he must have been top of the list the last time I could be bothered to change it...which was a while ago!

How very interesting this thread is becoming.

Still to hear from ngb4cas - maybe he is waiting for his new photo to be developed.

TRB should be another interesting one - I'm sure his nickname at school wasn't Bubba.

my name is from my favourite ever tv cop series taht i watched as i grew up - loved the fast cars, lifestyles and clothes - wanted to be Don Johnson

i wanted a funny avatar like some others i have seen, but just as i thought oif one, someone seemed to have it, so i plumped for perry the platypus from the disney cartoon phineas and ferb. perry is cool and leads a double life if you don't know!!!!

My forum name is self explanatory. My Avatar is me with my Dad at the WMC having a Guinness together. As its a RL forum & he took me to my first Wakefield Trinity rugby league game I thought I better stick him on. Additionally he's my mentor & best mate. Someone who has always been there for me especially throughout the bad!! We still support from behind the sticks to this day. My eldest sister has always been and now my 3 nieces go.

It's a good thread. It's interesting as some people on here have sensible, passionate and or interesting debates against , misguided, bitter and or belittling. I don't necessarily mind people not displaying their actual name and debating but profiles set up with a bitter/biased motive spoil decent debates. It's easy to hide behind an unknown title and lambast someone or something.

Grew up in painthorpe? no one grows up in painy

Avatar is one I made after Glover took over, phoenix from the flames in a Trinity kit. Maybe time for a rethink.

The name is from a short story collection about baseball from one of my favourite writers, WP Kinsella, called The Further Adventures of Slugger McBatt. He wrote Shoeless Joe, which became the film Field of Dreams.

Mine is from football.
I used to wear a full green kit, and im a big lad.
1 game 2 Gypsy kids started calling me hulk then 1 turned to the other and pointed out the hulk wasnt fat! so they called me flubber because i bounced around alot (one of my better games) one of the away fans overheard and it stuck.

I based my name in homage to the idea that a forum enables one to retain an amount of anonymity. The Scarlet Pimpernel was of course recognised for his ability to be a master of disguise, elusive but honourable.
I don't have an Avatar because my computer skills are also on a par with my user name.

What a great Film!!!
