Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best keeper's jersey

[sadloserkid]

I quite like them both. I'll go Travers as well though, maybe it's the prominent nipples but there's certainly something about the Peyton one that I'm not wholly convinced by.

[Fixer82]

After this we should do a foot.ie decides ‘Robbie Keane’s best goals for Ireland’. Over 60 to choose from!

[the 12 th man]

Travers.

[SkStu]

Travers.

Peyton’s looks designed to strangle and chafe.

[pineapple stu]

A tight game between Kelly and Given, but luminous Kelly lives to fight another day and goes through 5-4.

Votes taken in the nipple v the lighting, but next we have Nicky Colgan v Wayne Henderson. Usual story!

[SkStu]

Colgan here. Always a bit of a fan of the yellow standard.

[sadloserkid]

I quite like both of these. Will cast my vote for Colgan - it's bright and simple.

[the 12 th man]

Colgan.

[Eminence Grise]

Peyton (Ireland-ex pecs!) and Colgan.

[Fixer82]

I’ll go Colgan

[passinginterest]

Another vote for Colgan.

[backstothewall]

Henderson

[pineapple stu]

5-4 to Peyton courtesy of Fixer's late vote there.

No morning match unfortunately due to ****ing Windows updates...

Back about 7 with the next tie, and then the final two last-33 ties tomorrow

The nips get me every time

Truly, you could hang wet duffel coats off them.

That'd be fun, if anyone has or would be prepared to scratch together enough footage.

It's probably better not to post about your fetishes. ;)

6-1 to Colgan in the other of Monday's matches. Laptop decided to do updates yesterday evening, so that was a write-off - but back in action now to finish off the round of 32 with the last three games. Starting with this one, as a mannequin with no arms, head or legs (football really was different back in 1981!) goes up against Bazunu, who's been annoying me lately by sporting what I think are two brand new keeper's tops since this competition started...

[John83]

Bazunu, though that may be anthropocentric bias.

[passinginterest]

I'll give the mannequin a vote

[sadloserkid]

I quite like them both again but will go for Bazunu as the collar on the other one leaves me a bit cold.

[backstothewall]

Bazunu

[dynamo kerry]

Bazunu
I'll go with the mannakin

[Fixer82]

I vote for mannequin as poor Gavin looks like Umbro stitched two different tops together there

I can't see either of them making the final

Agree. But Bazunu’s one looks like his head and shoulders was photoshopped on to another keeper

Exactly the sort of insightful commentary these threads they've on. Tempted to count your vote double. :p

Two more while the two yellows battle it out - Alan Kelly and David Forde

[the 12 th man]

Kelly but both aren't great tbh.

[Fixer82]

I’ll go Forde

i cant see the Bazunu pic (sun might be firewalled at work here) so defaulting to the Mannequin on the Mattress.

[SkStu]

Kelly.

[dynamo kerry]

Kelly. Givens looks like they weren't paying attention when the elbow pads were sewn on

You mean Forde

[sadloserkid]

Kelly. Forde's is one of the worst we've seen so far.

[dynamo kerry]

You mean Forde
I do mean forde. Thank you!

[passinginterest]

Kelly definitely

[pineapple stu]

4-4 and we have a tie in the dummy v Bazunu match.

While I think about my casting vote, here's the last of the round 16 ties - more yellowness as McDonagh and Kelly clash.

Ok - I said I liked this reason and would count it double, so on that basis, the mannequin progresses

[dynamo kerry]

Mcdonagh for me

[sadloserkid]

McDonagh over Kelly. They're both bad but Kelly's (if the logos were removed) looks uncannily like a shirt somebody would wear on Celebrity Dance All-Stars or something similar.

[John83]

Kelly: Forde's looks like sleepware. And Kelly again.

I have a suspicion it's nostalgia, but I like that one a lot.

[jbyrne]

McDonagh

[CraftyToePoke]

McDonagh is a lot like Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs. In my opinion. No, thats not a vote

[Fixer82]

McDonagh for me. Love that jersey

[passinginterest]

McDonagh too. Although the Kilkenny colours are nearly enough to put me off.

[backstothewall]

Kelly x 2 for me.

[Kingdom]

McDonagh is a lot like Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs. In my opinion. No, thats not a vote

nah.

i'll go with Jim.

[the 12 th man]

McDonagh because of the crest as both are gank imho.

[pineapple stu]

7-1 for Alan Kelly against David Forde, and McDonagh leads Kelly 7-2 in the last game, which is a surprisingly big score to be honest as I quite like that Kelly jersey. Seems a shame to lose it this early.

The last 16 will kick off in the morning, and I'll let the afternoon match run over the weekend and then kick on on Monday morning from there.

[SkStu]

You are ABB

Anyone But Bazunu

:D
