Gotta tell you, I don't like it. Just because its used by many doesn't mean its ok, its still disrespectful. I was never comfortable with the whole 'Woy' thing either.

I take your point on "Woy" but how is referinng to the manager as "Buck" Rodgers disrespectful ? Some nicknames can be abusive or disrecptful but most nicknames are generally nothing more than a jocular display of affection for a player and signifies a  "relationship" between the player his team mates and fans.

Was Alan Kennedy disrespected when he was referred to as "Barney Rubble" Steve McManaman as "Shaggy", John Barnes as "Digger" Fernando Torres as "El Nino", Robbie Fowler as "God" or Kenny Dalglish as "King"

Christs sake, can't believe that some are apparently genuinely upset that another member referred to our manager as "Buck" Rodgers"

Woof it's been years since I last watched a game at anflield. I used too spend a fortune and try to catch 2 or 3 games a year. Maybe I've lost touch and have been too harse on BTN. But I've never liked referring too other teams and and managers by derogatory nicknames as well (even though I'm guilty in this respect, but I try not too). I guess I'm getting old.

But I still don't like 'buck Rodgers' guess I'll have to get over it.

where is the death by football - tiki-taka, winning the ball up the pitch stuff he was banging on about ?. that was last may and none of it materialised. he has spent over 80million and has the cheek to say without coutinho and sturridge we lack quality    against fooking hull.
imo it isnt good enough to be reaching for excuses like that, he need's to have a long hard look at himself and sort it out

way too much indecision from him and he doesnt know what his best team is. its not good enough
