    I'd say it is genuine enough because there is a weekly quiz going on with it now where you can win a tv or camcorder. Looks professional enough though.

    Probably won't receive the pack until a week before the euro championships kick off.

    thanks but we are well aware it is genuine, nobody was questioning that.

    Received my pack this morning. Be prepared for the shiny! Enclosed was a voucher for a free pint, redeemable in my local pub from Mon, during any Monday to Thursday up until 22/05/08! No weekend drinking then!
    Also enclosed was a small deflated football & a guide which is next to useless!

    Still, a pint is a pint!

    They are listed as FREE Carlsberg Vouchers. To me thats FREE Carlsberg not €2 off a 6 pack. So its the vouchers that must be free. :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭jameshayes


    Cant complain about things you get for free!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭bazwaldo


    I complaining that the Carlsberg is *not* free.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Ste.phen


    Mine arrived today. Again, unhappy about it not being free carlsberg.
    Bastards. :)

    football's fairly decent for a free ball though!


  • Registered Users Posts: 343 ✭✭alowe


    I got mine too. Amn't happy about the vouchers rather than the free beer..... Guinness gave us free beer and a free glass to drink it in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,135 ✭✭✭Moanin


    When did you boys place your orders?How long did it take?

    Got mine today too. Must have sent off for this about a month ago. Ball is cool, vouchers not so. I think the ball will come in handy at the beach in the summer... come on sunshine!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,278 ✭✭✭banchang


    Its pathetic

    The 'exclusive CARLSBERG UEFA EURO 2008 Guide' is a joke.

    Eur2 off a six pack is not going to make me try Carlsberg

    Diageo, if you're reading, & I know you are, you'll have to do better than that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,146 ✭✭✭rom


    whats wrong with the vouchers ?

    i see, thank got i went for a pint in the pub

    THey are described in the cover note as

    'FREE Carslberg vouchers'

    While they are actually Eur2 off a 6 pack vouchers.

    The Guinness promotion gave free cans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Johnny Storm


    I also think one should never look a gift-horse in the mouth.
    BUT anyway :rolleyes: ... there a very strong and unpleasant chemical smell off the ball. You definitely would want to leave it out in the garden and emphatically not in a child's bedroom.
    Notwithstanding my first sentence, I think this offer looks kind of skimpy by comparion to the recent Guinness one.

    Yes, but they were FREE vouchers for carlsberg... you didnt have to pay for the vouchers. Sneaky bastards eh.

    On a side note, i inflated the ball and its not even close to being properly spherical, when u bounce it it flies off in random directions. Not very good at all really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,169 ✭✭✭Grawns


    Got mine too. Have to agree a bit of a dud.

    If you choose to redeem the voucher in the pub you get a voucher for a free pint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    here here, pure rubbish! they even included a free envelope and free crap guide and free address label and free air...........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭dajaffa


    My ball was burst :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭The_Hustler


    Mine was also punctured, to add insult to injury!

    My local pub wasn't listed so I didn't have the choice of avoiding these vouchers for only €2 off. And this lump of rubber is gone straight to the bin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭Cocoon


    Guinness all the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,495 ✭✭✭corcaigh07

    Just to let people know who may not have noticed, those people who opted for a free pint of Carlsberg in their local, the vouchers are only valid Mon-Thurs until the 22nd of May. So ya can't use them at the weekend.:o:o

    Mine arrived this morning.
    Football, stupid pointless brochure thing, and 2 x €2 off 6x330ml packs.

    So €4 and a football. Good freebie. Nice one OP.

    Are you guys sure about it being burst? I thought mine was when I was pumping it, as I could hear a hissing and feel air coming out from between the stitches. But it was just the air between the inner plastic ball and the outer covering that was seeping out. When I pumped it fully, it remained up.

    Not really a patch on the Guinness offers, but you can't complain about a freebie.
