Chang
Comments (19)
Isn't slightly irresponsible of your club to be advertising a well known Thai alcoholic beverage on team shirts of players male/female who are quite clearly under the age to consume the brand they are advertising??? They can't buy it, they can't drink it and they can't sell it, yet they can advertise it in front of their peers. Surely we don't need to add to the already poor situation of the younger portion of society drinking under the legal age. Your thoughts would be most welcome, Thank you for your time in reading this e-mail.

The problem is not the drink. It is the fact that those who act irresponsibly when drunk are handed an excuse rather than taking accountability for their actions. Drink is not the poison of our society, it is the idiots who allow others to use it as an excuse. Good to see Mr Wrathall is at least taking note of our club - even if it is for pathetic reasons.
Thomas, Everton as a club will only have the sponsorship on the adult version of the kit, buy which time parents should have educated their offspring to drink responsibly.
Thomas,
if you do some research on past stories from the official site I’m sure you’ll find one that indicates that EFC will no longer sell junior shirts with the Chang logo on. Chang also support this idea if i remember correctly.
Well said Lee!
The fact we have taken it off jnr shirts is a clever pr idea,but kids will drink if they want to drink, not cos it's on a footie shirt.
Just to add, there are a lot more teams sponsored by alcohol companies,who haven't taken the same action, so Thomas, I hope you carry on email other clubs who haven't taken any action!
I have never bought Chang, nor Danka, nor Hafnia so How effective is this shirt advertising anyway. Oh, hang on, I DID have a one-2-one mobile at one time.
I’m not sure what to think...............
Why is this guy having a pop at us? Dare I say "Carlsberg""
If you’re an arsehole then you’re an arsehole. Full stop. Whether it’s drink, drugs or just being a prat. I and many of my friends like a drink and we have done since we were beneath the legal age. And none of my best mates have ever started fights, been violent in general after drink etc. Why? because they’re not arseholes.
The politically correct just love something to blame.
Michael your typing is terrible. How could you miss the R, the I and the K out??????
Hehe... Good one, Matt. Mea culpa!
Sounds like you need to chill out, mate. Have a nice cold glass of Chang and sit in your garden this warm July night and ask yourself,
’ Why did I send that stupid e-mail? I ’m not even an Evertonian.’
?They can?t buy it, they can?t drink it and they can?t sell it? - lucky them, it?s awful.
Have you tasted it ? its utter shite, especially when served warm out of plastic glass to the tune of £3 and then you have to queue for a piss in the Upper Bullens at half time to get rid of it ! Get a life we could always be sponsored by Mansion and have red emblazoned across our shirts like Spurs encouraging a life of gambling.......
Another bloody do-gooder with lots to say but absolutely nothing of substance.
If you are old enough to buy beer and have ever tasted Chang, you will know that it is a great advertisement for sobriety, it tastes like horse piss....and that’s on a good day when it is served cold.
Have you infested other club’s forums who have a sponsor for drinks/gambling/prostitution and spouted your ramblings to them?
It is an awful beer, as are all of those southeast Asian beers... Now Tsingtao, there's a good beer, China's finest.
End transmission...
Not even a fan of "ChingDow" myself, lol.. living in Beijing five months.
If you wanna beer, drink Carlton Draught! ;) (cough, Aussie)
Reading the above I must be one of the few who actually seeks the stuff out through (misguided) loyalty to the club!
I like Stella btw, and would recommend it to everyone.
Would the PC brigade please fuck off because all you are good for is treating people like idiots, eroding this country?s culture and depressing the fuck out of everyone. Now fuck off.
He?s right you know, my three-year-old son got bladdered on Chang and started a fight in the street last week.
