Thing is, the one place that LLaMa actually means anything...in here, to describe contemporaries...it's only a name, like "mates" or "buddies" or a similar thing.

It's not like the DSO or the VC or the DFC, it's not a badge of honour, it's only really people who don't understand what LLM's about who treat it as that way.

Is this a case of the Friday's ?

Ne1, and anyone... If LLaMa is more than just lower-league playing (as a style of play), then LLaMa is the wrong descriptor - unless it has become an umbrella of many things - sensu Peter's first post. And if so, it is a forum like Ian staes - however, this makes it a badge of honour (in particular to the people outside), because of the zeal llamas have in maintaining this forum...

so basically, it is a necessary evil? Is Sancho making sense?

"Sir Ian Ferguson, KBE, LLaMa."

it's a shame the abbreviation resembles some Argentinean camel. Why can't we be the LLions? or LLMa**kickers...

No, it's no shame, it's utterly intentional.

I take it you've never read the History thread.

Yes - should he be an honorary member? heck, he started with East Stirling right?

You might want to change into something less comfortable before Nobby comes in here.

Pete's complaint is valid if people see being LLM as belonging to an elite.

To me it just describes a group of people with a common interest, like train spotters
