LA Galaxy explosion

ironictoaster · 2007-07-26 00:08:54

So, I was walking down Grafton St. today and went into a sports shop and the place was bombarded with LA Galaxy Jerseys. This is pathetic people, are Irish people really that stupid to jump on a stupid bandwagon. If anyone buys the jersey on boards, I will personally hit you. Sorry but this one takes the biscuit!!!

Jaysus, I thought there had been a terrorist attack or something from the thread title.

I haven't seen any Galaxy stuff yet myself. Don't want to either.

I thought La Galaxy was a French chocolate bar. <guffaw>

On topic, I saw these for sale today in Athlone. I laughed heartily at the skangerette who was buying one for her sprog.

Move to soccer or not?
Hmm.
A good bitching and moaning AH thread or a soccer thread where everyone hates everyone else?

Meh. It's all the same. ABU, 1966 and all that.

Please note: Any incursion of soccer rivalries will result in a permanent ban.
That means if I see so much as a "<insert team here>" are shoite you will be banned forever and ever and ever.

OK! I don't really like football or pretty much any sport, but I'm off to buy a jersey so you can make good on your promise above!

It's the same bandwagon that passes through Dublin and Kerry every summer.

It's the same bandwagon that passed through Ireland when Liverpool, ManYoo and other British teams, like Celtic, got popular.

It's the same bandwagon that passed through Ireland when BoD, Stringer and the lads got good.

It's the same bandwagon that passed through Ireland last March and April when the cricket world cup was on.

This is going to save some time. Now we don't even need to tattoo them before we intern them, just grab everyone wearing these jerseys.

Excellent.

LA Galaxy are no more 'foreigners' than Man United, etc. so it's all the same really.

I support Dundalk.

Sort of.

Its no different to people buying clothes with designer labels (calvin klein, polo, etc,). Beckham has long become a fashion brand as opposed to simply a footballer. And fair play to him, wouldn't go out and buy stuff with his name plastered on it, but it makes a change from every other professional footballer who goes into "coaching" once their career is at an end (regardless of their aptitude for it)

I was flying from LA to Dublin a few days after Beckhams 'launch' and the release of their new (practically carbon copy of real madrid) jersey, and in the queue was this young irish lad, about 15 maybe, wearing the LA Galaxy. My first reaction was 'how sad' then I realised I didn't really care.

Oh, so I take they are some american team that acquired David Beckham.
No different than people wearing a man Utd Jersey or a Celtic one.

So what. Maybe its a nice jersey (for all the hype before it Sky showed about 5 seconds of the actual match with Chelsea, I can barely recall the jersey). I have a Real Madrid one, I dont passionately follow La Liga, I won the jersey in a raffle and its probably one of the nicest any European team has Im sure most of yis have a hoody with the name of some American college whos sport you arent even aware of
