Wristbands Campaign

[Green Tribe]

I can vouch for this

it wouldn't make me look twice at a bloke! i would assume the guy was gay

[Don Vito]

I first noticed the wristbands over the Christmas as I watched Premiership football on the box. I saw the likes of Robbie Keane (yellow wristband) and Stevie Gerrard (blue) wearing them. I didnt know they were for charity but I knew I wanted one. I contacted my good friend, Dillo. He agreed that we needed to get our hands on the wristbands as soon as possible. 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.

I am 2nd Gen, living in London, and the other day i was in Business Studies and this kid shouts out 'does anyone want a "KISS ME: I'M IRISH!" wristband?'. I nearly vomited.

Coooooooool!!!! Where can I get one of these?

One side note, the money going to the LAF goes into cancer research. But the kick racism out of football ones, where exactly does the money go??? 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!!

Now these ROCK !!!

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....

Is that what you're talking about?

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.

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.]

[TheJamaicanP.M.]

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.
