TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted June 10, 2021 Perfect opportunity for us to ditch the green shorts and rebrand as 'The Bananas', sponsored by Fyffes. You know it makes sense! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 4,873 Posted June 10, 2021 That's far too similar to "Sausage Gate" as an image TB. Nice try though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously don't remember the Bruce Oldfield designed all yellow kit that got ditched following a fan vote using yellow or green cards displayed at a game ?

LaUnionCanary 67 Posted June 10, 2021 I'm guessing the idea was tongue in cheek banter. I certainly would be very much against the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 3,940 Posted June 10, 2021 Given our ultimate aspiration to grace the European competitions and show the likes of Bayern how the game is played, how about we pitch for sponsorship from the European Union? That would also mean we would have 12 stars on our shirt (stare and weep Ipswich fans). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, I deny any claim that I have suggested sponsorship by the EU as an attempt to provoke those who voted for brexit and who were obviously aware that they were voting for Northern Ireland to become a sausage free state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Ireland only became a sausage-free state because the BK8 girls were at them first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've managed to tie the Brexit thread and BK8 thread together nicely here. Two lots of "Sausagegate" in the news. Who could have predicted that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The comparisons between the two fu*k-ups are a bit to close for comfort. I neither case are the general public likely to "swallow" the official narrative.

Thumbbass 288 Posted June 10, 2021 Ever since Teemu joined, my son has been advocating for a link up with Pukka pies. They could do a Pukki pie special made from the finest reindeer. I've been wracking my brain for pie based puns but not managed anything strong enough to pitch it to Pukka - Cheese and Hanley? Chicken Tikka Mclean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
