Whatever about the jersies, I want to tear that poxy flag to shreds; the one with a Reg Vardy logo sewn together with a tricolour. :mad:

Doubtless the very same proud Irish people who'd be working themselves into a lather hurling abuse at the Ing-er-land team if they ever came to town fro a game.

Sometimes I wish that entitlement to nationality could be confiscated......

If we put it in the "Other Football" section, it would have been binned after 4 posts. ;)

In here, in our on wee section we can flame away!!!

AFAIK the Tranmere flag belongs to a 2nd generation Irish fella living in Liverpool and that flag has been at games for years ! Not quite the same as someone living here plastering a tricolour with Sunderland or some other rubbish

If you have to ask, there's probably no point trying to explain.

PS: There is an extensive collection of Sundireland material on Bohsnews, as it's become a pet subject. Am I allowed link?

I saw Sunderland shirts for sale in Champion Sports yesterday (I'm not scum, I was looking for cricket gear. Didn't find any.)

Now that the Vikings have gone under, you're getting into to cricket....?!?

Dude - you love those crazy sporting fringes...

It's hard not to fall to the ground and weep. Was mentioned on forum recently, and I spotted report in paper, that 600 more people per week are travelling to Sunderland since you know what. Fair enough, they came here to put a few bob in Olly's pocket, but to think that those hundreds could be attending eL games instead of flying to Sunny Sunderland...AAAGGGHHHHH.

Come to think of it, they must know guck all about football anyway.:)

I had a Sunderland jersey about 5 season's back, the blue away one. I got on the bandwagon far before the rest of ireland. :p

If it means anything, I've seen more eL jerseys in UCD than I've ever seen in my previous 4 years. I've seen Sligo, Derry and Bohs. Just a coincidence or is there an increase in eL jerseys about?

Think there has been an increase in el jersies doing the rounds in recent years. I've seen Pats, Bohs, Shels and Rovers plenty of times around Dublin. Few lads in work wear them too.

Strangely, I got the filthiest look on Sunday from a lad in a Shels t-shirt who spotted my UCD jersey.

From talking to a few people involved in the sportswear industry, I get the impression that this is the case. They say that sales are growing every year and say that one reason could be that EL jerseys look better now then they did a few years ago. The obvious exception is the Bohs jersey, which looks like it was drawn with crayon.

I was in town yesterday and while I wasn't on SunderlandWatch, I couldn't seem to get away from them. Arnotts have the jersey in pride of place in the football section. Easons have their fanzine neatly positioned at eye-level (the others I noticed were Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea, Celtic and Leeds so they're in that category now). I've actually taken an interest in Sunderland (looking for their team selection/reports) since Daryl Murphy (Waterford man, former Blue, sound lad) joined them, but by no means would I delude myself into any connection with the club.

You'll love this one - a conversation a few weeks back between 2 of my Man Utd -supporting mates:
"We'll have to go to a United game this season"
"We'd nearly have better craic going to Sunderland though"

That's what you're dealing with!

I think O'Neill's did a grand job on our home shirt.
Better than buying into the generic trash churned out by Scumbro.

That's actually not true. Aside from the fact that both jerseys are green and white hooped, they are a totally different design. Umbro used to give us Rovers versions of Celtic jerseys, but not anymore.

Not having a petty go at Bohs but O'Neill's jerseys look terrible.

Celtic are Nike, Rovers are Umbro, O'Neills are puke. I think even Bohs fans hate their O'Neills rag.

Didn't the Bohs fans pick or design the jerseys themselves this season?

OK, sorry, didn't realise that but Rovers shirts still look like Celtic cast offs. Nothing unique about them. I love our home kit so what rival fans think of it doesn't concern me.
