Might as well have their own thread given the current Irish contingent there. Posted a few weeks ago that they may have a late charge at the playoffs and they look like they could at least be within touching distance of it. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

It'll be very tight. I would like to see them there but more less likely they'll make the playoffs to be honest! Leeds and Huddersfield are probably already there. Wouldn't be surprised if them 2 ended up in the Playoff finals. Reading and Sheff Wed alot more inconsistent and have to play each other next week but you have Fulham first in the queue who are in deadly form - They are usually poor away from Home but they tore Newcastle apart today, Newcastle losing at Home is usually surprising but then losing to a team who are poor away even more so. Said in the Horgan thread before he signed that Preston was a fantastic choice. Simon Grayson quietly doing amazing things there. His signings in the last few years include; Daryl Horgan - Free Andy Boyle - Free Jordan Pickford - Loan Aidey McGeady - Loan Tom Barkhuizen - £100,000. Callum Robinson - £400,000 Not only picking cheap youngsters but he's previously made total washed up has-been's like Jermaine Beckford look like hot prospects

| Huddersfield could even challenge for automatic promotion never mind for the playoffs. they're 6 points behind but have a game in hand.by all accounts, PNE fans are very happy with the performances of their irish contingent. |

Around 1993 I met some groundhoppers from Preston North End before a Shamrock Rovers v Bohs league game at RDS. They had been to Cork and one of them was delighted with the colours (and advertisement) of the hoodie/woven top version of this jersey below.

Didn't know that. Don't see why that would be an issue. Barclays Bank sponsored the league and Liverpool had another bank sponsoring their shirt. Anyway Guinness are still a snobby brand these days who have lost touch with their roots. (or maybe re-connecting to their roots of unionists as the Guinness family were)  My message to Guinness: Get back the common touch of jug eared farmers carrying steel beams, simpletons in pubs with eybrows on their cheeks, fishermen, lads doing a stupid dance waiting for the pint to settle etc... No more gym gimps in rugby jerseys posing in pubs. No more of it I tells ya. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

Why do you care? You're adversely affected by marketing, to such an extent you don't want to drink Guinnes, cause the brands sponsors sports you don't like. P r e t t y sad

Advertising and marketing of banks and beer are two very things, as you have pretty much hinted at yourself. If Barclays bank made nothing but ads associating them with rugby it really wouldn't change their customer base or clientele, it is very different with sports, especially with the tribalism within football. It was well known that McEwen's, for example, lost a large part of its market in the west of Scotland by sponsoring Rangers. They never confirmed or denied it, but when I first made trips to Glasgow I was told to leave any pub that sold it as I would have taken a wrong turn. Beer and sports teams are two of the few businesses that people remain tribal about, I can understand why someone at,say, Coors in Burton would be worried about a company that prides itself on its marketing. The fact that you know associate Guinness and rugby shows how well that marketing has worked. The reason people around the world associate a beer that was originally brewed in London by an aristocratic family with men with eyebrows on their cheeks and leprechauns is down to their original marketing, they sold a country and nostalgia and people drank it in. Anyway, PNE? What about them! I fancy a pint now! G'luck. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

The EPL and Guinness are both worldwide products, people associate watching sport with beer, when one of the world's most recognisable beer brands becomes associated with the league as a whole it would dwarf the association of any one team brand. You saw how well they have done it with rugby, in England especially where pubs I have worked in have seen Guinness sales rocket during the six nations, imagine that over a 9 month football season. It would be a harder market as football is linked with lager, again for reasons of advertising down the years! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

It's strange alright how teams go through a phase where they have a bunch of Irish. In the late 80's there was Liverpool (Aldridge, Staunton, Houghton, Whelan). In the 90's we had Villa (Townsend, McGrath, Staunton, Houghton). In the 00's we had Reading (Doyle, Long, Stephen and Noel Hunt, Alan Bennett, DaveMooney) Sunderland had a good whack between 08-12 (Quinn, Keane off the field, Andy Reid, Darly Murphy, Stokes, Myler, Liam Miller, Connolly, O'Shea, Westwood, McLean) - not all those at the same time obviously
