Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best away kit

[pineapple stu]

As much as I would like to say no no, you vote away my good man, I'm going to go along with that & good man ;)
Well my vote is only ever a casting vote, so it was a something or other of a promise really. A wotsitcalled - where it sounded like I was promising something good but I wasn't really :)

A John Delaney... no wait, that never sounded like something good unless you were a complete moron.

[the 12 th man]

2012.

:p

Actually, a "piecrust promise" is the phrase I was looking for. Easily made, easily broken. Mary Poppins.

[Eminence Grise]

2012. Something about the open collar and the vertical stripe that gives it a bit of presence.

[pineapple stu]

Almost neck and neck between 2016 and 2012 as we head into the second half of that battle.

Not quite neck and neck between 2021 and 1990 - 13-1 the final score there and the Italia 90 kit canters on to the last 8.

Next up - the never-worn 1998-00 third kit, which goes up against the USA 94 kit.

[Razors left peg]

2016 and my all time favorite 94.

My father actually has the 94 kit signed by every one of the 94 squad. Met them all in Orlando through some competition. It was worn to matches for years and been through multiple washes so the signatures are not as pristine as they should be!

[the 12 th man]

I like the never worn 98-00.

[SkStu]

I like both quite a lot but will go for 1994 here.

[John83]

I don't much like either of the next lot, so I'm going to abstain from voting.

[CraftyToePoke]

1994.

[sadloserkid]

I don't much like either of the next lot, so I'm going to abstain from voting.

Considered doing the same but will throw my meagre weight behind the 98-00 one.

[passinginterest]

I'm a fan of the 94 jersey so gets my vote.

[DeLorean]

1998-00. F*%k García.

[backstothewall]

1994

What were FIFA thinking having Jim Cornette in that job anyway?

[sadloserkid]

Cornette, objectionable, smug and full of bile as he is, really is wrestling's answer to Martin O'Neill.

[jbyrne]

1994 for me

[Eirambler]

Euro 2016 and USA 1994 for me.

[Fixer82]

98-00
Really nice jersey
The green diamond at base of collar.
The tricolour trimmings.
The slightly darker collar.
Class!

2016 & 1994

That's my line! Who do you think you are Tinkerbell - Jay Lethal? Woooooooooo!


Cornette, objectionable, smug and full of bile as he is, really is wrestling's answer to Martin O'Neill.

Now now, Cornette has some use still. His interviews are still gold and somewhat relevant.

[elatedscum]

1994!

[pineapple stu]

Best battle of the tournament so far there between the two Euro kits. 2016 took an early 3-0 lead, and consolidated to 5-2. Then a flurry of 2012 votes saw it take a 7-6 lead. But three late votes for 2016 eventually decided the matter, and it's 2016 that progresses 9-7.

I suspect we'll see CraftyToePoke again next competition :)

1994 with a clear edge over 1998-00 with matchday voting still to come. And in the meantime, it's two photos from Macedonia (I think) - one from 2008, and one from 1996-98.

[DeLorean]

Jackie Chan for me :orange:

[sadloserkid]

96-98 for me also. If I lose that and the 2012 one in back to back bouts I may be lost to the whole forum, never mind this contest!

[jbyrne]

2008 for me

[Fixer82]

96-98 just shades it for me

[tetsujin1979]

Now now, Cornette has some use still. His interviews are still gold and somewhat relevant.
Maybe don't ask him to do commentary

[elatedscum]

Jackie Chan for me :orange:

I'll take 96-99 too.

In fairness to McAteer, you can't deny he won the ball.

I think you're owed a full and frank explanation/confession here.

I shamelessly stole your gag and passed it off as my own work to my brother*. I did it for a cheap laugh, and i got what i wanted.

But I let my success go to my head, forgot the original source of it, and ended up posting it back in here like an idiot.

Please accept my apologies.

* I did swap out Vince Russo for Tommy Dreamer. He seemed like a better fit for Aldo.

Speaking of professional wrestling, I vote for the Jason McAteer Drop Kick kit please.


Maybe don't ask him to do commentary

I'm fairly sure I've heard some Jim Ross commentary of that tackle.

[John83]

2008.

That kit McAteer has on looks like a dog vomited on a Dutch jersey.

[CraftyToePoke]

I suspect we'll see CraftyToePoke again next competition :)

Starting to understand how The Donald felt, robbed, cheated etc. Might start a Make2012GreatAgain campaign.

McAteer for me, because he did get the ball. 96/98.

[passinginterest]

McAteer 96-98 for me. It's different and unfairly shunned.

[sadloserkid]

I feel your pain. :(

You should arrange a rally just before the final vote and have all the 12Anons storm the Support Forum.

Erm... 2008 for me.

I applaud your honesty, and approve of your scheming. The truth can remain obscured from your bro's knowledge.

Classy and appropriate.



Speaking of professional wrestling, I vote for the Jason McAteer Drop Kick kit please.
It's Ultimate Warrior-esque in colour, RVD-esque in technique.
Owen Hart-esque in consequences - don't at me.


I'm fairly sure I've heard some Jim Ross commentary of that tackle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypot3CYECwE

I'm sure someone has the technical knowhow to put that on Maccah's attackah, from the Game-eh?

Anyway, back on topic.
hard choice this - i like both jerseys. 98.

[the 12 th man]

2008...just can't have that orange thing.

[CraftyToePoke]

The 12Anons, could call them my disciples, this has legs Stu.

[pineapple stu]

USA 94 canters into the last 8 on a 9-4 scoreline. Solid stuff there.

The orange kit leads 8-4 at the moment and it's the first kit I've got a potential winner vibe off tbh. Could be dumped out yet of course.

Two more kits on the way - two Euro qualifying kits. The Euro 2016 qualifying kit v the Euro 88 qualifying kit. Full frontal photo courtesy of SkStu.

May as well jump in here just as it's getting spicy.

Euro 88 qualifying kit by a furlong.

[CraftyToePoke]

Euro 88.

really wish we had more orange kits. But I guess having a Macedonia put paid to that.

[Fixer82]

1988 for me

[Eirambler]

2008 and 1988 qualifying.

[SkStu]

1988 :)

[sadloserkid]

1988 is a lovely kit.

[passinginterest]

88 but the other on is inoffensive

[John83]

Euro 88. The collar on the 2016 kit makes them look like Jehovah's Witnesses.
