TheLip69 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Is this the same MARS people who changed the wrapping on their eponymous bar to the flag of St George during the last World Cup, and had "believe" on their bars instead of the name in the one before that?

Finlay Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Even if it is explain how it should make a difference in them getting involved in football in local communities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 because they are a corporate giant playing at 'caring' about local communities, when in actual fact they are nothing more than a money making machine who dont really give a jot about communities , and have in fact been shown to be ignorant of the feelings of a large section of a countries population add to the fact that its a total joke to have a chocolate bar brand marketed in a way to be associated with a 'healthy lifestyle choice' but hey just saying like, free footie take it while its going PS the community staff continue to do an excellent job, they need to take the funding from wherever it comes, fair play PPS pet hate, corporate giants peddling unhealthy choices as associated with a healthy choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Sure I can see the unhealthy food angle and the contradictory elements involved in their participation......but moaning 'cause they threw support behind England in major Championships? Seems a bit petty to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you can call it a joke for being associated with a healthy lifestyle......even proffesional athletes and sportsmen eat MARS bars now and again. anyway...lets look at fooball league / cup sponsors...Tennents, Bells, IRN-BRU , Carling ....none of them healthy if abused ........ are you also unhappy at their association with healthy lifestyles ?? *edit* not a dig at you personally.....just that argument that certain Brands shouldnt be associated with sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfcmainstand Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Can't believe so many people are moaning because we are being offered free 5 a sides. Who cares who picks up the bill. This country has been crying out for this type of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country has been crying out for this type of thing. Totally. "Here, have a free game of football." "Whit? Fucksake, not from you, you dick."

TheLip69 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 When you pose a question you clearly have the answer to yourself and have a reputation for getting flustered over small petty things..........then. Every Mars bar in every shop down here has the 3 Lions on it. They put millions into English football every year and we get a free 5 a side game. It's been 6 years since I last had a Mars bar, and it'll be a whole lot longer before I have another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If it's been 6 years, then you must have other reasons beyond the 3 Lions. Maybe, if Scotland ever managed to get to the World Cup finals someone would sponsor us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I was there on Monday night. Guess what...no Mars bars...no advertising of afore mentioned bar. Just football. Great fun it was too. Come along. You might enjoy it ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
