3rd Kit?

[Bondvillain]

I suppose it could be a ploy to throw away fans off guard as they look for these boys in green we're allegedly standing up for.

I think the 3rd kit is bland and uninteresting and a somewhat cynical and disappointing marketing ploy, and in that sense, they are probably the ideal introduction for the end of the Staunton Era.

However, I must admit that Im not really the target market , as I haven't given the FAI buggerall bar ticket money in the last 10 years.
Personally, I wouldn't trust them to satisfactorily budget with an 8 year old's Pookie money, never mind a sizeable kickback from shirt sales.

Didn't like the look of it at all

Off Topic.


You made it back. Did you do the train up to llandudno and then the ferry on the way back. It was a bit on the rough side even though I passed out from lack of sleep on the way home

ah yeah. got the 550, changed at craven arms for a bus to shrewsbury, then a train to chester, then a (needless) dash across the platforms, upon being told 'that train over there is for holyhead and it's about to go', followed by ten minutes sitting in the train, starving, then from there by every man, jack and sheep f ucking halt in north wales to holyhead (cos there was a direct train. only the later ones had bus substitutes from llandudno junction). all in all very pleasant. i also phased out on the ferry, though the crashes onto the waves that sounded like a car exploding below decks kept me awake a bit.

note: never ever assume they will have food and or booze on a train in the uk. i was cycling to dublin port on friday and as i passed an offlicence i thought "ah, sure i can get some booze on the train" as well as "ah, sure i can get some food on the train". seven and a half hours later, we pulled into cardiff, burger king then the pub. seven and a half long, sober, hungry hours. we would have got some stuff in holyhead, but the train left at 16:35:00, and we made it into the terminal building at about 16:34:30 and had to sprint to the train.

You really have to question why a third strip is being brought out. We barely even need a second strip never mind a third. With Irish football at its lowest ebb and no tournament/competitive matches to look forward to in the summer, who do the FAi think will go out and buy this jersey, id be surprised if they didnt actually lose money on this one.
