Free Pukki printing - what does it mean?!

[SwearyCanary 1,179]

Maybe reading into this too much, but free Pukki shirt printing either means,

a) Pukki is staying and this us a way to cement his place in our hearts forever at no extras cost ready for 20+ goals next year 

b) Pukki is leaving and as our star striker they are cashing in on his name to sell some leftover shirt stock before he goes for good and we are left with Hugill to lead the line.

Think it's just the correlation between his shirt number and the current year, tbh.

It's his birthday. No conspiracy theory.

A one day only offer as it is his birthday today.

A vintage year - definitely one to etch into our memories 😂😂😂

Speaking of Finland (and Åland) again, I'm swanning off there for some running-related jollies in early July. Should be damned enjoyable, let's just hope the weather is nice and sunny, especially on the boat trip between Turku and Mariehamn.

They also did the same for Aarons in January, and for Idah, Omobamidele and McGovern on St Patrick's Day. Also for Pukki, Tettey and Dowell last season on their birthdays, plus other ad hoc one-day offers. 

[AJ 1,224]

It's a nice thought but in reality it's a cheap gift for Pukki, they still make him buy his own shirts but he can get the printing for free. You'd think we'd treat our star striker a bit better than that!

[shefcanary 2,435]

This offer is no different from every other player's birthday.  It's an out of date promotional offer that really needs ramping up.  At this stage of the season (given the kit is effectively now on it last legs retail wise and Pukki is only five letters), then a much more attractive offer would be a further 10-20% off the price of the shirt and the letters applied for free.   Yes, its another "stick to beat the club with" but really does underline the current malaise at the club.

Is that in addition to the 50% its already reduced by?

Yes, for the day of his birthday only! 😉

These free printing offers seem to get more frequent as the season goes on, presumably to get rid of excess letters and numbers that won't be usable next season. They did quite a few in March/April last year and they're doing it again this time. Seems fair enough to me, especially as shirts are half price already.

Maybe we should sign Simone Zara to use up the Zs? 🤣

I’d still happily have zinedine zidane in if we are going down that route

Well I guess last season’s ‘We’re back!’ shirts take on a new meaning this time round……😕

TGS, came across this in The Guardian below-the-line comments section on the best pop records of 2022 so far:

'Recordings from the Åland Islands' by Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer is a nice, ambient record worth checking out if you like that kind of stuff. Released by International Anthem - a Chicago based label. Discovered them last year, and they have some great artists on their roster.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just found this on YouTube, and I'll be off to Åland again in a month. Mind you, I'm off to the Faroes on Saturday (after coming back from Svalbard). It's almost this summer as if I decided I was going to spend time on remote Scandinavian archipelagos. Shouldda booked a trip to the Lofotens/Vesteralens to pretty much complete the damn set, lol.

Gotta say @PurpleCanary, that was some quality archaeology to dig this back up.

I was tempted to buy a shirt with Zzzzzz on it towards the end of this season.

I'll bet most of the posts were mine! I do like that part of the world, just not quite seen enough of it.

Watch out for the ticks there! A TBE vaccination might be wise.

Applies across most of central/northern Europe in summer to be fair. Insect repellent is never a bad thing to get, that's for sure.

For ticks, wear a broad-rimmed hat if strolling in the forest, and check pets, children & arms/shoulders afterwards. This applies in the south of England these days too
