Sit in a pub and tell one bloke "we are an Irish club" and let the flawless progression of the Mindless Paddy Osmosis do the rest.
Com'on, get real! Convincing the most mindless, sheep-like, easily controlled by flashing lights nation on earth to follow a British soccer club is akin to pointing an alter boys hole at a priest and expecting him to say "what's that for?" Somethings require no effort.
The Orish soccer fan is natures greatest moron. Evolution's perfect lemming. He has no mind. He is a ****ed-robot who longs in his plastic hibernian heart to be an Essex Larger and Lime Boy going "Phorwhhhhh!" at something called 'crumpet'.
Matters not if the Irish soccer supporter is from the gaelic speaking regions of Donegal and can find no reason for an alarm clock without connecting it to a chunk of semtex, or the chattering classes of Foxrock - to reach that state of Albion Enlightment via a British soccer club is their heart's and soul's desire.
The British empire was built on their kind and they are what they will always be. Following (and I mean that in most literal sense) Man U or Liverpool or Sunderland is no different than dying for Queen and Country in some remote Hindustani Raj during the 19th century. It all the same thing.
MILLIONS of Paddys are born to be mindless sheep in the service of the Empire's Spirit. The melody of William Blake's "Jerusalem" is the frequency at which their central nervous system resonates. Thats the sound you would hear if you could listen inside their giant green leprecaurn hats.
Somethings are so natural and self-fullfilling they require no work. Marketing a British soccer club in Ireland is one of them. To be honest I am more worried about an asteroid from space hitting Pint O' Blackstuff Park than filling it with stupid Micks.
And yet... I've sat in pubs/ round tea at work and told people that we (Bohs) are an Irish club and nothing happens; what's the deal there?
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
Are you pronouncing Oirish right?
Boh So Good I am wondering will you be chartering flights from Donegal, Galway and Knock airports to watch this new team? I think you would sell them out. Maybe Ryanair will sponsor them for you?
Say nothin til ya hear more!
Of course....

Say it while eating a packet of Walker Crisps, a copy of HELLO magazine under your arm and drinking a half of best Bitter paid for with coppers and they'll take every utterances from your mouth on world football in the same way the Jim Jones followers took the toxic cola at Jonestown.
You see, with Oirish soccer fans and Irish media, it's all about delivery and not content. The can't relate to Ireland and Irish culture. It's a foreign concept to them, they care more about Amy Winehouse getting herself sorted than the being Irish and wanting good things for Ireland. To them that is being Irish anyways.
This is why West Browmich Albion, Queens Park Rangers etc are Irish clubs and Bohs, Cork, Harps, Galway etc can never be Irish clubs.
The Irish government are promising their private jets and helicopters. They want Irish soccer to flourish and are trying to readdress the recent ERSI report that Irish soccer is underfunded and underresourced.Boh So Good I am wondering will you be chartering flights from Donegal, Galway and Knock airports to watch this new team?

All the parties in the Dail including Sinn Fein has offered their unconditional support to Identity Crisis FC.
This whole project is already running by itself. In the same way previous generations of Irish morons were lured in with flashing lights spelling out Leeds United such as Roddy Doyle, the current generation of Irish morons will be lured in with a box in the corner of their room with flashing light telling them to follow Identity Crisis FC.
It's been working since the simple Irish were exposed to multi-channel TV in the 1960's and the Irish as a people have only become more moronic, drunken and sheeplike, neglectful of their children and using TV as their babysitter since the days little Roddy Doyle placed his hands on the screen and went "daddy!"
To lock in this strategy, Identity Crisis Ambassadors will be handing out free crisps and Fanta to bored and neglected Irish children sitting in pubs on Sunday afternoons while their drunken parents in their Chelsea, Liverpool, Celtic and United jerseys dribble and belch beside them - the 'involved parents' who slur drunken comments at giant TV screens while the wee children tug on their "parents" Premiership replica jerseys mouthing "daddy, mammy we are tired...we want to go home" as the Orish soccer fans ignore them.
Identity Crisis FC, like Niall Quinn "are concerned about Irish children's Health and fitness" and like Sunderland will work to make sure that another generation of Irish children will enjoy soccer in Irish pubs on suday afternoons looking at big screen to the smell and sound of their Irish parents belching and endless four letter words in front of their own young kids.
We are a Irish family club at the end of the day. Until we get relegated from the Arkwright's Black Pudding and Suet Premierships and our Irish fans move onto QPR or whoever is the Irish club that week, then I'll shag off and start a chain of coffee shops or something.

and peversely a lot more Premiership "fans" are so bitter towards the LOI - which is even more sadder.
We have lives - it's actually going to grounds, supporting your LOCAL eL club week in, week out, through thin and even thinner - as opposed to staring at a massive screen whilst dribbling into a pint glass as you try to figure how to get the latest lot of curry stains out of your nice new Manchester Hotspurs or Liverpool United jersey.
Sure we don't all decide at the end of the season to ditch the Drogs jersey to go out and get a shiny new Bohs one because everyone else goes and follows them because they're the ones who start winning stuff...
Tis strange - because similar figures of Premiership support exist in Norway (80% of people there follow the Premiership) - but pick up a copy of Dagbladet, VG or Aftenposten (their main newspapers) - and you will only find small snippets on the Premiership - most of their football coverage is devoted to the Norwegian Premier Division and it's players.
And lo and behold - when you're over there - not only do you get the choice of watching many more Premiership games on TV than you do with Irish Broadcasters/Sky - but you also get THREE live Norwegian Premier Division games a week
Something mighty wrong there...
Kom Igen, FCK...
Concerns have been raised in the Irish media that a dangerous sect of so-called Irish football fans are planning a protest outside POTBS park before their next home game. The protesters are questioning the "Oirishness" of the club, and are planning on spoiling the day out of all the Irish football fans at POTBS park by raising banners like "Support your local football club". Naturally, this would disturb and confuse the loyal patrons of POTBS park, as indeed they ARE supporting their local Oirish football club. The views of these protestors are utterly wrong, and must not be given any coverage by any media.
I'm just wondering, Boh_so_good, what do you plan to do to keep such undesirables away from POTBS park?
Good luck boh-so- good you are doing great work.
The UCD A Championship side are in action against their U-18s in a jumpers for goalposts affair the same day. Should keep us all too busy to get over to protest
Think you need to define bitter, people aknowledge that the standard in the LOI is poor, thats not bitterness, its just the way it is. This suggest anything else is just comical. I dont know any premiership fan that doesnt enjoy seeing the likes of drogheda et al do well.
As for the Danish situation, it is hardly comparable. While im no expert on the Danish league it is obviously a decent enough standard. The Danish squads always have a hefty proportion of their players playing in their national league, in comparison its a novelty story when an irish manager gives the LOI a token jesture by including a LOI player in the squad.
A professional league in Ireland is just not a sustainable idea (Look at all the clubs in financial trouble at the moment) .All our best players will always travel to the UK if they are of a certain quality. Its just too easy for irish players to adapt to the premiership/english life, something that cant be said about anyother country including Denmark!
Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend

Trappattoni+Tardelli+Brady=Holy Trinity of Irish Football
You see Denmark, he says Norway??
Not much of a difference really, same points applies to both.

Such a blithe unconcern with geographical exactitude goes some way towards explaining why people like the above can imagine there's Irish clubs in Britain.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
This is one of my favourite threads ever.
That is all.
Ok but how will you be marketing your club
