Paul Galvins Dunnes gear.

When you view the clothes on the Dunnes website it comes across as a little boring.

She needs to be sacked.

Or at least, forced to wear some of his kit and be paraded around town and pelted with rotting veg.

Well this may (not) interest you.

I'm doing a collection about the Bedouins and brotherhood soon

I have trawled the web and I have yet to see him wear a pair of trousers that fit him. He must get up in the dark every morning and put on his wifes trousers by mistake..


Here he is going for the Inspector Clouseau look...

Lollers. They look like Peaky Blinders extras

The 'Sri Lankan navy' story is like something Derek Zoolander would regale us with

They must be selling and sure that's all that matter I suppose. I don't begrudge him making money on it.

But thanks for the update on the new collection. I've had a good laugh and it has cheered me up on a bad day. Sure there's lots of "style" out there I don't get but nothing that screams FAIL so much to me. I love it. Fair play to him.

I usually find him so unlikable but actually his account of the duster incident really rings true to me and so admire him for realising he needed to find a new direction. Looking forward to the bedouin collection.

I had totally misjudged him. I had him down as a rugged no-nonsense, strong silent type. He comes across in that article as a vacuous airhead

I opened this thread with a sense of dread as my GF has been encouraging me to buy some of his things, I'm deeply glad I had the sense to restrict it to a couple of t-shirts.

Surreptitious

I couldn't get through the whole article. I needed some kind of mind altering drug to carry on.

Have to say, as a Kerryman, enjoyed seeing Paul redefine the role of the half forward in football, he was some player. Loved seeing him run Cork ragged, even as his career declined the sight of him striding out and packs of Cork players hunting him down, he could turn a game around. Galvin and Brian Dooher changed the game in the 00s in a way that more gifted players like Cooper couldn't, they made half forwards into the tracking back hard tackling types we see today.

But now, he just looks and sounds like a gob****e.

Well if she encourages you to buy his Bedouin inspired range when it comes out, it may be time to go to the shops for that packet of cigarettes.....

Yeah he'd have been a legend if he just faded away into the background after his playing career!

No need to lurk in the ladies lounge anymore.

I'd say none of you would slag him to his face though .

I wouldn't buy his clobber. It's aimed at young fellas I'd say but I still wouldn't buy it if I was a young fella.

I neither like nor dislike him but it's a typical Irish/small town thing to slag a guy off just because he's a bit different.

Atoms for Peace

He deserves some credit for breaking away from the usually rather conservative image I have of gaa players.

Yeah, that's what's happening here.

Ironically, "you wouldn't say it to his face" is a classic small town-ism

And it's different in the big smoke is it? Nope.

You're right, it's not. That's why you labelling anyone who criticises him as 'small-town' confused me.

Very good friends of mine have told him they'd kill/bury him, to his face. And punched and kicked him, and taken punches and kicks.

I should explain. That was in the context of club games in Kerry. Afterwards, they shook hands with one of the great players of the 00s and left it all on the pitch.

What an odd sentiment in a thread like this.

People are slagging the style/fashion of someone who has released a clothing collection accompanied by silly comments on his inspiration and influences. No different than criticising bad pop singer or crap writer. If it was slagging a random GAA lad's outfit for a night on the town you might have a point.

As for saying it to his face - why would anyone who thinks his collection is crap say it to his face under normal circumstances? It wouldn't be brave or honest or saying it like it is - it would just be rude. No more than I'd shout at Niall Horan to tell him I think he's talentless, or Cecelia Aherne to tell her her books are sh1t.

But if the implication of your comment is that people would be afraid to slag to his face - then that's just silly. It's not like Galvin is some renowned hard man. If people are the type to slag people to their face about their clothes or talent, I doubt they'd be deterred from slagging this lad. I did actually see him get a slagging walking through the city once - he laughed it off in fairness to him.
