There are some great prizes in the pipeline over the next 12 days as part of our big Christmas giveaway and they should also make for a great gift list that you can send you loved ones to when the run out of ideas. Check in with us every lunch time to see what we’ve found buried in the back of the onion sack and there’s no time like the present to kick things off, so let’s do this:
On the first day of Christmas, Balls.ie gave to me ...
A limited edition Football Manager iPad and a copy of Football Manager 2014 Handheld.
This engraved iPad is a 125 GB, wi-fi only 4th generation iPad. It is one of only ten made and includes a copy of the highly addictive Football Manager Handheld which allows you to bring your budding management career to trains, buses and planes from Rio to Rathmolyon.
What sports personality would like this in their stocking this Christmas?
Brian O'Driscoll will be itching to get this game after his recent shock sacking as manager of Bristol City. Playing international rugby is no match for the thrill of managing League One's 23rd best outfit.
Brian Robson also loves the game because he always gets work and there's no chance Terry Venables will barge in and babysit him for the last few games of the season.
Naturally, Alex McLeish has already applied for the game but we've turned him down and won't be accepting his entry into the competition.
Alternatively, this is a must have gift for any Football Manager connoisseur. These custodians of all things coaching come in all shapes and sizes, and are aged roughly between 12-90. A Football Manager iPad is their Roy Keane, the assistant manager they can bring anywhere allowing them to scout a player in Sweden's second division on Youtube while playing a League Cup game against Swindon.
To enter, you have to like our Facebook page and share the competition post.
