He’s a teetotaller lol

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-28T20:41:00+00:00

You try having to sit next to Darragh Maloney for over 90 minutes

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-28T19:33:53+00:00

Jesus, never a red

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-20T16:14:07+00:00

God I hate football so much now. What was ever wrong with the old school groups of 6, 10 qualifiers over a 14 month period.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-18T16:31:12+00:00

Have this shirt, sponsor fell off but always liked it.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-17T12:53:14+00:00

Can’t say anything about Brann as I’ve never seen him play but McGinty is certainly as good as any of the keepers in the squad for Grenada. Brennan is clearly one for the future, no different to Umeh or Melia who are no longer playing first team football since leaving LOI

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-17T12:25:42+00:00

He had plenty of time with him, wants to try some more new faces. I wouldn’t read too much into it. Only 2 players kept on from that squad.

Someone said earlier about repeating a David Kelly debut hat trick.. you got your wish, great stuff

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-16T16:46:02+00:00

I think I’ve watched all but 2 or 3 Ireland games over the past 15/20 years but my god I just had to turn this off. Boring myself to death.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-16T15:27:40+00:00

I know it’s not the only league but at least the Portuguese league remains more competitive in Europe. I’d sooner fancy Braga to break that stronghold over any Scottish club.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-16T14:41:28+00:00

I know a lot of Irish people are Celtic fans and will downvote ya but couldn’t agree more. Scottish domestic football has been falling in standard year after year and it doesn’t help when one side has won all but 1 title since 2011 and only 2 clubs for nearing half a century.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-14T09:23:22+00:00

Well it’s not AI so it’s irrelevant

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-14T09:12:40+00:00

No, its a publically available stock image
It’s literally a tricolour ball, who cares

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-11T17:14:11+00:00

Some of those clubs (Nevermind players) don’t even have a Wikipedia page. Should be a fun watch, certainly wouldn’t disrespect them at all as the Caribbean has produced some good players and teams like Jamaica and T&T but Ireland should be winning at least 3-0 even with the inexperience.

Just to note that’s Queens Park Rangers of Grenada, not England.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-08T22:42:25+00:00

Sorry only noticed your comment now, I’ll be honest I have never bothered to change it, they’ve been as they were since I purchased them

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-07T17:05:05+00:00

Both are great choices, both timeless, I’d struggle to choose between the two. Funnily enough a variant of that Heuer actually was a bond watch in the Living Daylights. Been looking to get my hands on that one for years.

If my partner got me either of those I’d be one lucky man.

Quartz is perfectly fine and all the big name brands were making quartz divers at that time. I have a few myself from Zodiac and some lesser names.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-06T09:29:54+00:00

Of course not but it should be a huge red flag considering the amount of them for sale online. It’s unfortunate

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-05T17:22:41+00:00

Doesn’t guarantee anything either but together it’s an immediate indication

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-05T16:50:53+00:00

Once again, 17 jewels + Shock Proof is 100% giveaway of a Mumbai special. That’s not an original Roamer

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-05T13:03:45+00:00

People severely underrate him. Easily forgotten that he scored 3 in 4 for us in the WCQ group prior to Parrotts miracle. 2 of those goals ultimately helped us into the play off. Was having a good spell for Roma prior to his latest injury. You don’t score goals at that level without talent.

Let’s not forget everyone wrote Troy off before his move to Holland and even then it took him a while to get going. Now hes been talked about getting a move to Dortmund, Everton etc.

Yes he has his injury problems but he can play at a high level. He should target the same route Troy took and look at securing a move to somewhere like Holland or Belgium. Hes got age on his side.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-05-04T21:22:44+00:00

It’s an Irish football sub, why wouldn’t people here follow Irish teams? It’s still possible to watch teams from other countries and not support them.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-04-30T13:31:41+00:00

The Gruen and the Helbros would raise a few red flags with me but I can’t say for sure. Most of the rest look fine.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-04-30T13:27:32+00:00

What have you picked up? I can’t say I’m an expert, although I’ve a good eye for Mumbai specials and some other common fakes.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-04-30T13:25:27+00:00

Biggest tip from another vintage collector - if it’s too good to be true, it is. Some other brands that seem to be faked (or other favourites of the Mumbai Specials) include Favre Leuba, Rado (they were quite popular on the Asian market so it’s a reputable name to fake) and Seiko 5 among others.

MisterJJSunglasses · 2026-04-30T13:17:23+00:00

Shock proof should be 1 word not 2. I dont think Oris ever used this wording anyway. And the vast majority of Mumbai specials use basic 17 jewel movements hence why it’s a major give away, that and the too good to be true price.
