I'm going to Dublin this weekend... I'm guessing that given the amount of shit fans over there I'll find somewhere to watch the game but does anyone know if this is the case ???

To be honest, top end of O'connell st where the hospital is is bandit country, once you are further in off the river than the GPO, its heads-up time. I dont know Murrays, its opened since I lived there, and I lived almost over the road in North Great Georges St. You would probably be ok during daylight hours!

hmm, yesterday morning was a little grim, this morning is lovely, despite being delayed by unannounced roadworks in Oylgate. I would have recommended the Sport Bar in Temple Bar opposite Thunder Rd cafe which no doubt would have shown the game, but its bloody well closed. Found a website called www.sport-in-bars.ie which sounds more helpful than it is. On your side of the river, The Gin Palace round the back of the Jervis Centre is a cracking pub, would be well worth seeing if they have the game on, as its a lovely pub,. nice food and near the shops so the missus can pop out for some retail during the game. |

The Gin Palace may well be the compromise I'm looking for !! Cheers Dr O |

Well just back from great weekend in Dublin ! Decided to try Temple Bar for game and there were plenty of places showing it so I had to suffer with the rest of you ;D The one thing that really annoyed me about Setanta ( Ireland ) coverage was one Mr Lou Macari constantly Jizzing himself over "His " Utd .... No mention of his Stoke connections ! Lou you dissapoint me !!  |

Alrite JPM, i must have missed this thread last week because i live in Dublin and could have named 20 pubs to see the match in. Just as well you stayed clear of the Gin Palace because its a kip, but i see you found your way to Temple Bar, which is very expensive but has a few decent pubs with good big screens to watch it on. As above Murrays is a decent sports bar and thats were i was viewing the game.
As for the Sultana coverage, ye i was dissapointed with Lou as well because before the game he was going on about Stoke and how we were robbed the lst time we played at Old Trafford but as you say he jsut never stopped jizzing over the Shit. Glad you had a good weekend anyway bud

Yeah we had a great time Irish ! I do love Dublin and actualy spent an enjoyable afternoon in the pub despite the score ;D I think the bar was called the Vat ??? You're right about it being expensive though 5.20 Euro's for a pint of Guinness  |

Fook me thats expensive even for Temple Bar!!! Its a decent spot though and you cant really visit Dublin without going there as its the best craic and always buzzing.
Glad you enjoyed it though!!!
