  1. What do you mean why? It’s just rip off Ireland being rip off Ireland. It’s nothing new.

    Everyone feels fucked over by expensive bills and taxes therefore everyone tries to charge everyone extortionate prices

  2. Haven’t bought a jersey of any kind in years.

    When they went above €60 I just couldn’t justify it.

  3. Has anyone thought about not buying it? No one is forced to, don’t give me shit about “but the kids”, just don’t buy it. No one needs the latest jersey, get an old one or go to dhgate

  4. It’s crazy it costs that much especially with that big ugly Sky logo on it, nothing says you love your country more than supporting Rupert Murdoch’s Empire

  5. i mean cant you just buy it from china for less ??

    60% of the cost is licenscing

  6. Honestly, just feeling like I’m not interested in soccer anymore. You’re getting rinsed by TV companies to watch it, rinsed by stuff like this, and when it comes to the World Cup, FIFA presenting a peace prize to Trump 🤢

    I just find it very hard to even feign enthusiasm sometimes.

  7. For me, Castore is a joke. Their “flagship” store on Grafton Street is in very poor condition. Couldnt give the brand money myself.

  8. The founders of Castore have basically said “we charge what we charge because we can get away with it”

    Search Castore and Liverpool on the Reddit. They’ve awful quality issues.

    O’Neills do lovely stuff as an alternative. Retro Ireland jersey 50 quid

  9. My 2006 shirt still going strong. Haven’t bought one in 20 years!

  10. If it’s anything like the rugby kit, I would avoid. Lot of horror stories across multiple teams of poor quality, missing sponsors etc. Some of them priced at 120 as well. Enough cheek for two arses.

  11. Just buy a knock off. Honestly they’ll probably be better quality than the official shite Castore manufactures.

  12. Why is the suffering fuck don’t they listen to everybody saying that they don’t want a sponsor on the replica shirts? Opel was cool but that’s it

  13. The O’Neill’s versions are better looking and better quality than that castore shite.

  14. Facing? Naw fuck that, just wear the ones you already have until the prices drop. Or just go on eBay and buy the “vintage” jerseys

  15. Don’t buy it, leave it on the shelves, if you can wait 3 weeks buy it from China for £15,it was probably made there anyway

  16. In 12 to 18 months time Castore jerseys will be got for 20eur anyway.

  17. Imagine paying over 100 Euro to walk around as an advertisment for sky!

    Absolutely Bizzare!
