Finally after a lot of effort, Don Vito ordered 10 yellow wristbands (my favourite) on the internet last week. The money goes to charity which is kind of cool coz it makes me feel less guilty about spending money that could easily be spent on drink. I cant wait for my wristband to arrive. I'm gonna try and get one of the red ones too as I saw Brian O'Driscoll with one on him against England. Does anyone know where I can get a red one?
I would encourage people to buy a wristband as they help you pull on nights out and the money goes to charity.

Our wristbands should be here for the Anton Schueller weekend scheduled for March 25th to 28th. You can get the red ones in Brown Thomas, maybe you might nip into town today and get me one if you get a chance? Bit busy lately.

As far as I see, nike make all the training tops twith the anti-racism logo on it for free. Is the money just going straight to nike, and the whole idea just to create awareness rather than raise money?

Hey Shed, see my post here re: distribution of the Stand Up Speak Up money to anti-racism projects across europe.

Livestrong and Stand Up Speak Up are the two campaigns I support for two reasons
1. my father is a cancer survivor

2. kicking Racism out of Football is something I've been proactively involved in as a joe soap fan. three revoked tickets courtesy of complaints to FAI.

Stand Up Speak Up

I'm in favour of the bands but even i'll admit that this one is a step too far....

I bought the yellow band for the same reason I bought the ribbons and donate regularly to a load of charities.

In saying that I hardly wear it. I wouldnt wear it to work as it looks unprofessional, and I certainly wouldnt wear it on a night out(I dont get the whole argument about it helping you pull).

Its great to show support, but the fact that they have now been turned into highly sought after fashion items detracts from the whole point of the campaign in my opinion. Its like the kids who were being bullied for their blue anti bullying bands!! :eek:

Now these ROCK !!! :D

They don't claim or pretend to be anything they're not, and they're so kitsch and naff that I love them !

I'm going to dress head-to-toe in them for Paddy's Day. Anyone going to Israel should have one.... :)

tee hee hee............

i got one 2day in college but it cost €1. It says "keep our word - make poverty history"

Is that what you're talking about?

:confused: :confused:

I saw St. Pats striker Robbie Doyle recently with a black and white wristband (anti racism). Originally the yellow one was my favourite because Robbie Keane had one but now I'm having second thoughts.

You mean you dont know that Rafterz is a swingers club....????

Bet you feel like a fool now:D

I noticed Robbie Keane had a red wristband against the chinese!

[Racist epithet edited. Dillo, make a racist remark like that again on Foot.ie and you'll be out of here.]

That had nothing to do with the colour of the Chinese flag believe me. Robbie has the best collection of wristbans in the Premiership. His favouite is the yellow one. He also has the black and white wristbands. He's even been seen wearing a green one with words engraved on it saying "Kiss me, I'm Irish". Last week when he was in Dublin, he added to his collection. He bought a red one (just like Don Vito's) in Brown Thomas (former employer of his girlfriend Claudine). Robbie said that he was only interested in helping a good cause. Like us all.
