Even Rosana Davison getting in on it for Ireland... Jesus wept.
O sweet mother of god that photo is a joke in fairness. I usually don't care who people support but for those players to be launching the jersey is ridiculous. They more than most are supposed to represent our own.
Would love to see Damien Duff, Robbie Keane or Shay Given launching the new England rugby kit for the world cup or something. I guarantee it would cause up roar.

And "The Fields of Athenry" is most certainly not the (or even a) Liverpool anthem.
A further and more in-depth look at nonsense:
Davison: "I'm just really proud to love the game.... I wouldn't be that mad now about watching any old team play; it would have to be Liverpool."

Please make it stop. For the love of god make it stop.
Two Gah heads launching a Liverpool jersey, you couldnt make it up.

I would not be beyond forming a breakaway state, separate from the Republic of Ireland, at this moment in time . . . absolute disgrace of a country.
To make it worse O Gara is the same fella that kept his hands in his pockets and wouldn't shake the queens hand and now he loves Liverpool. expect nothing less.
Yep, what a toolOriginally Posted by Jofspring
Imo they are all doing it for the cash. If O Gara got the same money from Cork FC or Limerick FC for that matter he'd prostitue himself aswell.

I've no doubt money is driving it but the guy is known to be a clown off the pitch down these parts anyway and this further proves it. Sports stars like O Gara in my opinion should be helping out Irish clubs and not English ones that don't need the exposure no matter what he is getting paid. Ah well he ain't on his own in this country.
Not the sturdiest of vindications, that.
Pedantic but:
FC, our third season back as FC.
IMO he/she didn't do it because he/she doesn't want anything to do with Irish soccer. More liverpool/addidas doing a much better job than FAI/loi clubs.
But as Jofspring points out, Robbie Keane, say, promoting an England rugby jersey or something would be pretty bizarre no matter how much he was being given. This campaign, however, doesn't even warrant the batting of an eyelid within general Irish sporting circles. In fact, I'm pretty sure I came across comments on YouTube lauding the video ads as fantastic. It's embarrassing, is what it is.
Slight problem is that they are not promoting an England rugby jersey!
Considering a Liverpool man wrote it, they've more claim to it than we do. Some helpful advice for the barstoolers (and this really isn't a United wind-up):
Must be a Man City wind-up? Must be? Then again if you told me the Liverpool thing (getting people from totally different sports and teams to advertise for you) was a wind up I'd believe you.
Has to be a wind up - all city fans come from Manchester.
About the only defence of O'Gara is that he's sponsored by adidas, don't know about the Gah anti foreign game muppets.
btw whilst we're talking barstoolers, since when was the "Soccer" forum on boards require additional rights to post? Paranoid gimps.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Noticed this too. It's not really an open discussion board if they pick and chose who posts where. I stay well away form it usually myself.
