I'd love the US to win it. Love it.

If you choose a Norwegian team I can possibly hook you guys up with ways to actually watch them play, plus, they play in the summer when nothing else is on.

Yeah, how gay of him. I laugh, but gays can get married too now, so it could backfire. Hmm..

Was asked to send a written proposal of the idea, which I now have. So we'll just have to wait.

Lost lots of money? I also just don't like Spain, or well, Torres. Him with a WC gold would be horrid to watch, horrid.

Fuck off Spain, hope Holland rape you so hard up the arse in the final that you can't walk for years.

Quick question: Does everyone of the 23 selected players get a medal if their nation win, or just the ones that's been on the field?

Here mate have you heard about the Bismarck sinking? Nah, I haven't. What's that?

People's Rooney to Bochum.

Major bookies have us as ninth favourite for the title. I, on the other hand, think we'll be somewhere closer to 14-16.

That poll confuses the fuck out of me.

I can only assume that the people who thought that was dull and negative don't care much for football that isn't played on an X-Box. Or the people thinking it isn't haven't seen the Dutch play footy like they used to just two years ago. (relative to how the Dutch usually play, not compared to other nations as they still play better football than most at times.)

I'm going to contact the foundation tomorrow and have a chat with them about the shirt and the general idea/plans. Hopefully they'll be positive towards it.

Feels good to see the world's best player again after this WC debacle that's been going on. http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/102627648.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF87892102A727B1636DE2E6E41145A9D78920042D8B12E3223D5BB014E3CE34CB52D9AC

Viga offers a complete package for this sort of thing though. And they're also quality and feel like a football shirt should do, not to mention they don't fall apart in the wash.

Forlan. Uruguay.

The idea of this comes from the fact that the current shirt is not generally good looking, and also that it's the most expensive one in a while. This would give you a better looking shirt at the same time as supporting the SBR Foundation, rather than buying a £45 shirt and nothing going to the SBR Foundation.

This will never go ahead if the SBR Foundation don't want the money. Would have no meaning to the average toon fan otherwise, and wouldn't be able to shift out enough shirts to earn in the initial investment. No offence taken, anyone doing it regardless of not giving the earnings to a great charity would be mental. This thread is just to see if there'd be any interest whatsoever in such a shirt, would be an absolutely shit thing to do talking to the foundation about something like this without even knowing if fans would get it. yeah we're talking the same thing here - if the shirt is smart as fuck and has SBR foundation plastered on it and his name on the back etc... then i think it'd sell like hot cakes if it's a smart shirt but has no SBR foundation stuff on it but maybe only a loose "association or endorsement" tag from them then i think people would see it as the equivalent of buying a cheap fake shirt on holiday Yeah, this won't happen if the SBR foundation wouldn't be interested in it.

Early days. As I said just checking for the general opinion among the fans themselves before getting serious.

Aye, would be no intention of promoting it as that. Would be a fan made shirt for the fans in support of a great charity at a much cheaper price than the current home shirt (£45 ffs).

It would be in no way associated with LFC, the Viga company is based in Dundee. Only thing any way LFC associated is getting the general idea from them and getting to know how they set it up with Viga. Which obviously will not be featured in great big letters all over the shirt or shirt site (which would be a Viga site).

All three, pretty much.

Would people perhaps be interested in doing a Liverpool and making a fan's shirt with all proceeds going to The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation? I've been chatting a bit with the people behind the Liverpool fans shirts to see how it could be done, and what it pretty much needs is firstly a fundraiser to get the starting money (£7000). Then you'd need to sell 500-700 shirts to make back said startup money, which in turn could see the investments returned to the people who've invested, and then after that all proceeds from sold shirts would go the the SBR foundation? Basically would be fan made home shirt in football shirt quality for £20 adult / £15 youth, and could possibly even toss on the SBR foundation logo if we get permission from them. I've not had a chance to discuss it with them yet, just canvassing interest as we'll need backers to get it up and running. Obviously we'd not be able to use the official NUFC logo, but I'm sure we'd get something resembling it in a canny way. The Liverpool Shirt: http://lsu.viga.co.uk/ Thoughts? Whilst Liverpool fans are making a shirt to protest because they're sad like that. This would NOT be an anti-Ashley thing on our part. More a good way to support the SBR Foundation in a season where our home shirt is really expensive and not really that much of a looker.

I'm still amazed Norway & Sweden get to watch/choose betweeten all 380 matches of the season, yet you only get like... 180 live matches in the home country of the tournament?
