Anonymous said...: Oh. My. God.

This is a joke right?; June 8, 2008 1:28 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: They will cost between £15-20.

Joke? No we already have 20+ pre orders and the manufacturers are just waiting for our permission to start the printing.

We've also been approached by a unofficial LFC merchandising stall that sits outside Anfield on match days. We are brokering a deal with them as we speak.

We want to make sure the fans are happy with the design before we start production so nows your chance.

Are you interested? What do you think of the design.; June 8, 2008 1:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Rich,

I think it looks the nicest. The Design is spot on- big thumbs up!

Anonymous said...: How much is the club charging you for using their Liverbird design? Or don't you think they deserve funding?; June 8, 2008 2:19 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: Liverpool FC doesn’t own the rights to the Liverbird symbol smartarse. You'll find it on RAWK and many unofficial fansites, merchandise etc.

And even if they did, we would remove the symbol. We wouldn’t want to be lining Hicks and Gilletts pockets.

Besides that’s completely irrelevant as the Liverbird our designers used isnt the one you see on he LFC logo. Its a custom version- look closely and compare the two.

Uncle colin i'll see what I can do but im not sure that will be possible.

On he backs is the "10 reasons why LFC will win the league." So if you get into an argument with a manc you can simply show the your t-shirt.

Anonymous said...: You don't want to line the pockets of G&H yet you claim to be a season ticket holder. Curiouser and curiouser.

As for RAWK & Co using liverbird designs for free, they're not charging £20 a time to own a copy of the image.; June 8, 2008 2:52 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: You need to re-read my post.

"Besides that’s completely irrelevant as the Liverbird our designers used isnt the one you see on he LFC logo. Its a custom version."

"You'll find it on RAWK and many unofficial fansites, MERCHANDISE etc."

Just for the record I want to point out that eighteenfive is a non profit organisation. For everyt-shirt we sell £2 will go to our manc charity, a percentage to our designers and the rest will go to our manufacturers who employ genuine Scouse workers.

And yea me and Dave are season ticket holders. If the yanks think they can force us out of the ground they can **** **** *******. Eighteenfive is working hard to oust the yanks and we are pro- active in the fans ambitious bid to buy the club. But most probably we will be gettng DIC in soon and we are firm supporters of DIC- their owner is of course a die hard pool fan.; June 8, 2008 3:07 PM
Anonymous said...: How long has this "manc" charity you speak of been registered? Who are the directors of it? You surely wouldn't be taking money under false pretences would you? Or is fraud the legal term?; June 8, 2008 3:37 PM
scouse dic said...: It looks great, but I think it's a waste using high quality materials as surely the "eighteenfive" tag is going to be out of date at the end of next season. This is our year you know.

YNWA; June 8, 2008 3:44 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: The charity wishes to remain anonymous (like a lot of people on here) until everything is definate and the t-shirts are flying off the shelves.

Scouse Dic. That is true, but eighteenfive has become a strong brand and I dont think we will change it. Next season it might be rebranded as eighteenfive + 2 or something along those lines.

Or perhaps we will bring out velcro attachments for out t-shirt with nineteensix etc

Lets leave that debate till the end of next season.

Rich; June 8, 2008 3:50 PM
scouse plod said...: if the charity wishes to remain anonymous why does it say "manc chance" on your promo pic?

You can avoid any legal problems by simply admitting this blog is a joke. Alternatively you can continue and the police can contact blogger.com and collect evidence of you fraudulently claiming to be giving money to charity. Simply saying they wish to remain anonymous will not protect you.; June 8, 2008 3:54 PM
scouse plod said...: To quote your own image:

"eighteenfive is a partner of manc-chance; a charity dedicated to re-employing Mancunians on benefit allowance © 2008 eighteenfive."

Please feel free to edit your image so that it doesn't say that anymore, though blogger.com will have a copy of the original image (as do I) so you're pretty f*cked.; June 8, 2008 3:58 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: YAWN

manc chance was used as a generic name simply used to fill in a blank space on the promo pic.

Its not the name of the real charity.

We still have bit of work to do before we start selling stuff so be patient.

We will get our lawyers to work on any legal issues so don't worry your silly little head off.; June 8, 2008 3:59 PM
scouse plod said...: So you admit to printing mis-leading literature and naming a fictional charity all in order to promote your selling of stuff.

Here come other people's lawyers.; June 8, 2008 4:02 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: I didnt admit to anything. Read my posts. manc-chance is ageneric name used to fill a blank space, like using "Mr X or Mr Smith."

And we havent sold anything so good luck on your legal battle.

When/if we do you won't have a leg to stand on as everything will be tip-top and cleared by our legal team.; June 8, 2008 4:06 PM
Anonymous said...: "For every t-shirt we sell we will donate £2 towards rehabilitating benefit-dependant-Mancunians. That’s our promise!"

Sounds quite definite to me.; June 8, 2008 4:16 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: "It is quite easy to prove uou are fraudulently claiming to be giving money to a charity in order to assist sales"

Prove we are making sales. Like I say if/when we do begin making sales everything will be water tight.; June 8, 2008 4:16 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: eighteenfive hasnt done anything wrong and you know it. Silly legal threats arent going to put us off our mission statement. Good day.; June 8, 2008 4:18 PM
Anonymous said...: "Joke? No we already have 20+ pre orders and the manufacturers are just waiting for our permission to start the printing."

So you've accepted orders but claim not to be selling them yet?; June 8, 2008 4:26 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: My mum wants 20 for friends and family. Your're getting desperate now.

If we are somehow magically selling them why don't you try and get your hands on one?; June 8, 2008 4:30 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: Lawyer: "scouse rich, did you ever sell or produce any eighteenfive tshirts?

Rich: "No"

Lawyer: "No further questions"; June 8, 2008 4:34 PM
Anonymous said...: How is you mum and friends going to get 20 if you never produce any?; June 8, 2008 6:48 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: Whos to say we won't ever produce any? We still have our finger on the button so its possible.

If we do sell tshirts we certainly won't be taking advantage of anyone, let alone a real charity.

All that earlier bullshit above this post was in response to the guy who thinks he has a law degree.

He obviously has something against Liverpool FC fans and is very irritated by eighteenfive. Most likely a bitter or a manc.

I suggest he takes a break from the interweb and gets his blood pressure checked.

Here on eighteenfive we believe in free speech, but if that decends into useless anti-LFC/eighteenfive attacks it will be deleted. If you want to complain about something send us an email. The comments secton is for football related talk.; June 8, 2008 7:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Er... Rich, it was you who said you may well never produce any t-shirts.; June 8, 2008 7:49 PM
scouse dic said...: scouse plod

I don't believe you're really scouse otherwise you'd have spotted the famous scouse wit. Obviously mancs don't need money from eighteenfive because they're all drug dealers.; June 8, 2008 7:52 PM
Anonymous said...: If they're all drug dealers who do they sell to? (apart from Uncle Colin obviously); June 8, 2008 8:03 PM
Scouse B*stard said...: Scouse Plod and Anonymous, I dont understand what your problem is, all scouse rich is trying to do is help you mancs out. He is trying to get you of your asses and stop scrounging of our taxes.

I think the design is amazing but like scouse dic says it will be out of date in a year after we win number 19 next season.

Its nice to give something back to the community after having the riches of 18 titles and 5 european cups for so long.; June 8, 2008 8:12 PM
Anonymous said...: Rich, you should ignore these manc WUMs. They are just jealous cos we've won it five times.; June 8, 2008 8:45 PM

Scouse Dave (editor-in-chief) said...: Laughing my tits off at all the mancs threatening legal action to stop this great shirt being produced with the 10 reasons on the back. They just want to stop the scouse belief that will get us over the line this season.; June 9, 2008 2:41 AM
Anonymous said...: I think you should produce as many as you can. If you change the logo on the front even the mancs may buy one! It's the funniest thing I have read in years!

Could the logo on the front possibly be changed to delusional scousers?; June 9, 2008 12:02 PM
Scouse Rich (junior writer) said...: ^ Dave can you ban this scummy manc bastard.; June 9, 2008 1:14 PM
Scouse Dave (editor-in-chief) said...: What the fuck would mancs want with one? I'm sorry to say I can't ban anyone as I believe in free speech.

Unlike the mancs who have banned me from all there forums.; June 9, 2008 1:30 PM
Duncan Headwards said...: Just been reading through this in absolute stitches.

Dave and Rich (same bloke) logging in and out of various names absolutely shitting themselves because they'd been sussed by scouse plod.

What an utter, utter lunatic this fella is.; June 11, 2008 1:35 AM
Anonymous said...: Working in the printing industry may I suggest you change a couple of the details. That way you will avoid the additional set up fees next year and the years after when you wish to sell exactly the same t-shirt again.; June 11, 2008 8:06 AM

Should Dave & Rich quit their day jobs (as professional sportswriters) and focus on eighteenfive?
