Why am I surprised

Why am I surprised

Post by greengooner »

That the AFC online shopping game is a complete rip-off, on a wave of optimism after Pod's performance yesterday I finally gave in to my oldests demands for the new home kit complete with number nine and name. Priced it on the website and gave up in disgust when the total had reached 53 quid before adding postage which would be at least another tenner, sixty plus notes for an eight year olds kit!
Got in the car and went to Derry, forty mins drive but worth it, got it for 39 pounds!, 21 pounds cheaper
F**k off AFC online

I'm surprised why anybody over the age of 15 would buy replica shirts ,they are shit quality nylon based ,and unless you have an athletic build they make the wearer look like a fat twat !
I haven't worn one ever unless u count the cotton 50's one or the 30's orange one .

Have to say though, this years Home kit has grown on me though so I bought the kit for my 16 month old and he looks great in it and generally kids do look good in them but grown up's .............nah !

See they're offering a free 'medallion' for every £50 spent in the club shop. On Saturday I saw some bloke coming out of the club shop grinning ear to ear with 4 such medallions hanging around his neck, felt for the bloke.
