Christmas Foot.ie Meetup

.....but since Christmas was mentioned elsewhere in threads already I felt safe(ish) to do this.

Wondering if there will be a social gathering to celebrate the season of jolliness this year for the foot.iers?

Last year was such fun that I hoped we could do similar again this year?

Any ideas, suggestions or volunteers to organise something?

I kill u......heehee

If it was somewhere reasonably close to either Athlone or Limerick I would definitely go. How about Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. Could arrange a special rate for you all:cool:

Wouldn't be able travel too far due to the amount I have been away this season with Athlone plus have end of season bash this weekend, players weekend away next weekend and then the Soccer Writers bash in the Hilton Dublin on December 4th.

If I ask for anymore nights away i will be homeless:D

I was actually going to start a thread for this at the weekend.
Because of the way a few things have worked out, I'm only free the weekend of the 5th December, if that doesn't suit, count me out

Any other ideas? Anyone else up for it?

Where does this usually happen?

I more than likely can attend similar to last year, though not in the same place..

Where was it last year?

PS I can't go, even if it is held in my sitting room. Two kids under 3, busy at work, and I am heading to Belfield on Friday so my brownie points are diminished.

Bogger bar and then on to Copper Face Jacks last year, although myself, Bluebeard and Kingdom Hoop got lost along the way after the pub if memory serves me correctly (which it probably doesn't)

Twas in Flannery's last year.

It took me 10 minutes to walk out:eek:

I thought you spent more time than that!

:D

I was there longer than your good self, ma'am :p

Yup, being old and wise in the ways of Dublin we avoided Coppers like the plague that it is.

Sadly I cannot make this year's unless it is in Waterford on the 23rd.

Unless someone is arsed to sort a London meet...

My new favourite bar in the whole world is not far from Flannery's and despite having an irish name, Anseo, it is a really nice spot. Bit small though.

Ach Bluebeard!!! Will have to fly to London to slap your ar*e for not coming to it.

Rovers1 has asked me to invite ye all to him and Rory H's place in Dublin for cans.

downstairs in Sin É wouldn't be bad actually, but upstairs gets very cramped

As long as they sell nice beer, there are not too many posers about and we can chat over the music I am happy.

God I sound old.
