I'm praying Derry City announce an away shirt with Lady Diana on or something - just to get us away from the mind-numbingly dull chat about whether a shirt is more black with white or white with black, and yet another thread ruined by Dundalk/Cork sniping.
Rovers are about to launch a 3rd strip with a picture of John F Kennedy on it, should sell well with the Yanks.
Its because of the obvious link with Maureen O Hara being a lifelong fan of Rovers............she acted in a film with John Wayne who was an American .....and JFK was American and an Irish American one at that and Irish Americans wear green and white......so .....bobs your Uncle.
Ah would you stop. "I was only joking; could you not tell?", followed by "Yeah? Well, you're one too"Quote:

Osarusan is one of the most level-headed posters on here and is perfectly entitled to point out another thread going down the Dundalk/Cork (or Dundalk/Rovers) toilet.
...and this thread is definitely on a 'Highway to hell' :DQuote:

Wasn't JFK a serial cheat ? Oh wait I can see the connection now ;)Quote:

My question or issue was that of people not seeing the similarities until Sullen did albeit being the only one. My last post was to concede that I had misread things, over reacted, projecting on how I would feel myself etc. To quit the way I was dragging the thread in a way based entirely on my own way of seeing things. It had nothing to do with joking! and not 'could you not tell I was joking all along'. I dont get the 'you're one too' comment' as Osarusan didnt point out that the thread was going down the Dundalk/Cork (or Dundalk/Rovers) toilet. He made a sweeping comment that was snide (IMO) directed at no one in particular, am I not entitled to point that out? It wouldnt be the first time but stones in glasshouses and all that. Indeed you would have been a bit beyond preschool by not trying to make something out of nothing of my previous post above and simply taken it as it was intended. Jaysus I voiced an opinion, pushed it beyond silly, and backtracked with lightened up on it. Quote the post in full rather than edit for effect and the tone is quite obviously acknowledging that I was pushing it!!Quote:

I'll hold my hands up on this one, I mistook you for another Dundalk poster who does have a long history of garbage wind-ups, so my apologies for that.Quote:

That the jersey comparisons may not have been viewable to see the similarity I was thinking how on earth the similarities could not be seen. Not that it was particularly important either way. My apologies and my excuse is being p!ssed at John Delaney, in general but more than usual after thnking we have kept an important key person to the owners money making ambitions and without that person risks them losing interest....its my excuse whether a worthy one or not is another thing.
I do still think that some of your posts can come across as priggish, so Im not all apologies, but it is foot.ie so there are no shortage of such posts myself included.
Where is Dodge these days and i'm surprised Asterix and Placid Casual aren't out and about with a smirk or two! As for Stu well if you are going to quote quote the lot, If I put a smiley at the end here does that mean I can claim 'only joking' later on:p:confused:
This should be foot.ie's version of the get out of jail card in Monopoly!Quote:

If you remove the sponsors on the shirt that micls posted then it is plain black and white, which has no connection to us, but at least Dundalk weren't main rivals then.
I think our BOM should have been more aware, that's all. A bit of yellow/green trim would have sorted it.
Nah I thought Sullen was a better fit! I had better do the emoji now :pQuote:

No cause when I was having a rant as a Dundalk fan about Cork, Bohs fans had the chance to explain why their players had green boots, some of them, and how a green jersey become known as jade. Think of what would have been missed without Dundalk/Cork infiltration.....
Fair point , you can stay :)
Our new merchandising guy really has gmdone fantastic work this year. It's gone from the most underutilised and complained about part of the club to the most highly praised.
The new shop renovations look fab and the new display for this Jersey has gone down very well. Good to see off the field stuff being done well. Attachment 2745
