    good luck! Is it another call center related job, or will you be stepping back from the front lines?

    you can get them here delija


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,815 ✭✭✭Charlie

    Then look no further.

    Before you ask, yes, they are real. 100%. The reason they are dirt cheap is that they are made off the clock, by workers trying to make a couple of extra euro. But they are made in the exact same factories as the real ones, with the exact same material, and by the exact same people.

    Well I just ordered two Newky ones off them and they arrived perfect. They are sound lads who run that site. Bang them an email, and I am sure they will explain.

    But I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

    hey charlie when you bought from thefootballshirt.com, did you use paypal or did you use a credit card directly?

    Haven't ordered from them, but there was/is a massive thread on F365 about them, with many happy customers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,212 ✭✭✭ITT-Pat


    yeah i've heard loads of good things too. the reason i was asking is cos my the cv2 on my card has rubbed off so if i was going to order i'd have to use paypal. and i was wondering if there are any extra delays in using paypal

    Ooh don't know about that. Can't imagine there would be anything too big. Even if it was 10%, that would only amount to 90p per jersey.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,008 ✭✭✭delija_sever029


    So these jerseys doesnt look cheap?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,212 ✭✭✭ITT-Pat

    no, they look perfect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,815 ✭✭✭Charlie

    No. They are the exact same that you would pay full price for in your local sports store, only, you actually pay a fraction of the price, because they are made after the factory closes.

    I shouldn't imagine so. Last time I used it, Paypal was instantaneous.

    Just in from work so to summarise:

    1) Charlie I didnt get a chance to put the money in today but will be doing so tomorrow.

    2) Phil Jupilus is a legend.

    3) See we're thinking along the same lines for Xmas presents. Girlfriend is getting me the Away jersey for xmas. Going into town with her tomo to make sure she gets me the right one with red lettering. Also Elverys have a deal with all jerseys 39.99. So Im thinking I might get a long sleeved one as they usually go for about 70

    :D

    heh, when the dude rang me I didn't even know which job he was banging on about I've applied for so many.

    Looks like it's customer facing, but via email mainly, which is bang on.

    It's a bit more money than where I am now, but it's in the city, which is deadly for when I move house in February. Also, in my current job I'm sometimes in work til ten, which is a pain in the gicker, but in this one the latest is seven. Nice.

    Anyway, I'm not getting my hopes up, I've sent about 250 CVs since I was made redundant in July, and this is only my third interview. :mad:

    Fingers crossed though, hopefully the...

    Shopping for jeans is definitely the most miserable thing one can do, jeans when you first try them on are never even remotely as good your favourite pair at home.

    I wish I had an iphone, I might see if my mate can hook me up with an unblocked one so I don't get anally raped by tariffs from a mobile provider I don't want to join anyway.
