Could we create a list of pubs around the place that are guaranteed to show our games? I know a few pubs haven't subscribed to Setanta and a few of us got caught out for the Villa game in a pub on Jervis street. TP Smyths. They said they were showing the match but the owner didn't know it was on Setanta One and we all had to bale out at kick off looking for somewhere else.
The TRAM in st james street dublin 8. the home of lfc supporters worth goin out of your way for, Every game and free food upstairs is better
Based in Cork so I head to the Quad - super-large projector screen, every game is shown and sounds lads in there too. sean - you must miss it! You invested thousands of hours and euros...
Miss it a bit alright. I think they afforded that projector based on my alcohol comsumption in there alone! Kids, if your reading this, drink is bad for you. Play sports instead and don't turn out like me
is that THE Renards? jaysus,things must be getting bad in the Pub game if places like that are trying to drum up Business with the Football Fraternity. Sports Bar indeed!
My Local Alright Lads/Lasses, my local on the Northside Dublin(dont believe all the rumours!!) is a sound ol mans pub thats great for the live games. Plus the landlord always signs up for the digi. Kavanaghs on the bottom of the Malahide road. Dont expect anything but the game and a good pint though!! Plus great craic between the local manc etc. All welcome. (God I better print this and get a free pint!!)
Slightly off-topic, but... What was that pub that bought the big screen from Highbury..? And so they use it?
Aye used to live around the corner from it on Marino Crescent and that was my local. Watched Euro 2000 games there which seemed to be timed to displace all the soaps, oh how we laughed.......when the wimmin weren't looking. That was the year I invested in a widescreen TV when it was a toss up between that and gym membership across the road..........I still have the TV ! A chipper beside it too (tick that crucial box) and still drop in before Croker matches after parking near my old abode.
Glasnevin, Beaumont/Artane/Donnycarney (was always a big debate about that one), Santry, somewhere on south quays which I can't remember, Clondalkin, Finglas, Santry again, Sir John Rogerson's Quay - South Quays, Smithfield Village - North Quays, Clonliffe Road - Drumcondra, Marino Crescent - Clontarf, Grange Road Baldoyle/Donaghmeade, Kilcock (a dub suburb at this stage), Leopardstown the current abode. I kid you not. Any other areas I'm sure I probably kipped on someone's couch there or thereabouts for a week at some stage .....I was briefly in Tallafornia too, forgot that one. My favourite area of the lot ? Coming from a culchie, undoubtedly Clontarf, should've bought there.
...for my sins. You could nearly say I've travelled. I did take a break for over 3-4 years back in Wexford and Waterford though, that kept the Dub locations down
for anyone in Dundalk area, Oscars show all Liverpool games whether on Sky, setanta or "Funny Tv" as I call it. This is a satellite feed from the middle east matched up with an english commentary adudio feed. You can see what games are coming up at this link. Oscars in Dundalk has all these stations http://www.satfootball.com/ click the england link
Gibneys in Malahide bought this screen. They have it in their smoking Garden up quite high. I believe the actual screen was so big the could only use a quarter of it as well. I've been out there at night when they show music on the screen but the quality is so bad you wouldn't watch a game on it.
