The Great Green Bobble Hat Thread

**pineapple stu** · 22/05/2005, 7:49 PM

Seeing as these are more difficult to come by than you'd imagine, going to start a thread for people to post up where they've been seen so others can get them. Probably one of the more bizarre threads here in a while, but sure nuts to it!

They're in Carrolls as a set with a scarf - think it's E12 or something. Celtic hats are there, but for reasons which have been gone into umpteen times before here, I think Ireland hats would be better... Nothing in Read's or Trinity Sweaters on Nassau Street bar a hat which is way too small. I picked up four in Grafton Crafts on Grafton Street - E5.95 each, two for a tenner. They have the IRFU crest on them as well, but sure, can't have everything! I had one myself all along too, so I have two over, so I'll bring them along and try and flog them (at cost (E5), obviously).

There's plenty of dark green ones, which is a bit annoying. Think the bright (jersey colour) green is much better.

I have found my old Ireland bobble hat, its being packed first.

**Babysis** · 23/05/2005, 9:49 AM

I am going a major search for a bobble hat or 10. Gonna check out Berwick street market at lunch. Will also see what i can get at the weekend in Glasgow. I will get as many as I can.

2 weeks today, bring it on

I've also got a nice Dart Vader mask which goes well with the bobble hat.

I will sort ye out with the cash whenever

**pineapple stu** · 24/05/2005, 5:34 PM

You're heading via Gatwick on the Sunday, aren't you? Can sort you out then if you want - on the same flight.

Would have one more spare, yep.

Just realised looking at the link Maribor posted that the hats I have technically don't have bobbles, but apart from that minor technicality, they're grand...!

Cheers - I'd forgotten who exactly had come up with the idea in the first place!

For the newbies (or the confused!), this is to honour the long-serving Faroese keeper who always wears a bobble hat playing games. It'll look cool if we pull it off! Plus it'll increase our chances of getting on telly!

OK, I will take that one off your hands,

and I will try and source some bobbles. IIRC my ma can make them, may get her to throw a bundle into an envelope. how the hell we get them onto the hats is another thing but "have bobbles will travel" sounds like a plan to me

Im keeping my fingers crossed for getting a couple at the weekend. Either at Celtic, or at a market (el cheapo ones will do)

Oh and for anyone who might be interested, i shall be travelling with the obligatory green white and orange face paints. Worked wonders in Paris. Had a queue going in Corcorons for fellas getting tri colours on their foreheads, great fun

They are there for anyone who wants them

**Peadar** · 25/05/2005, 9:56 AM

An incredibly generous and thoughtful person sent me a bobble hat in the post today. It's the dogs undercarriage!
From Toffs and it does have a bobble.
Thank you, Mrs. Clause!
