So AIB have merged the championship and Coppers once more with a clever bit of word play.
Where the pulling and dragging and all the tough antics that go on between Mayo and Dublin are no secret, jersey-pulling has another meaning in Irish pop culture.
Jersey-puller: Someone attracted to a male or female predominantly because of their ability to play Gaelic Games. A county jersey (number on the back is obligatory) automatically proves your ability and success in your chosen field. A county jersey therefore is attractive in the eyes of the jersey-puller.Something like that. If you're a jersey-puller then, it makes sense to be in Coppers on the night of the All-Ireland where the biggest GAA after-party takes place. And what better way to welcome them than what AIB have done?
The projection is lighting up Harcourt Street in Dublin and has set the scene wonderfully for Saturday night. Not for the game particularly (they do enough good promotion around that), but for the party afterwards.
Will it be Mayo (or the Dubs) 4 Sam? Wooly, Paul Galvin and Conán Doherty preview Saturday’s All-Ireland final replay.
