IT lasted 24 hours, maybe less.<\/p>\n
The week before an All-Ireland final, one thing no-one in Kerry wants to be charged with is pre-match arrogance or over-confidence \u2013 even if it\u2019s marinated in humour.<\/p>\n
Motorists on the main Killarney-Killorglin road, which include Kerry manager Jack O\u2019Connor, had to do a double-take Thursday when spotting a newly-erected poster featuring Jack as the bride and Mayo manager Andy Moran as the bridesmaid. The punch line was too easy \u2013 Best of luck on your big day Jack \u2013 Andy\u2026always the bridesmaid.<\/p>\n
The Killorglin-based Brand Geeks agency were, at once, creator and perpetrator \u2013 but by mid afternoon Friday, the sign was removed from the side of the road, though not before social media lit up with comment and criticism.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot in our name. Not Kerry,\u201d posted former All-Ireland winning Kerry skipper Dara \u00d3 Cinn\u00e9ide.<\/p>\n
Added Cork fan Alan Holland: \u201cAnd they said Cork were cocky because people bought refundable train tickets\u2026.\u201d Said well known Kerry referee, Maurice Murphy: \u201cI\u2019m all for humour and a joke (but) this is ridiculous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others though saw the funnier side and kept it in perspective. Well, kind of.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lads at Brand Geeks fessed up Friday and said they\u2019d taken it back down \u2013 quam celerime.\n <\/p>\n
\u201cWe took it down,\u201d said a Brand Geeks spokesperson. \u201cThere something else to go up after. It\u2019s a two-parter, but we\u2019re not too sure on the second part now!<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was something else to go up as well, there was other bits to go with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And they will proceed with Part II?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnsure at the moment, that\u2019s pending.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IT lasted 24 hours, maybe less.
