Foot.ie Christmas Meet Up, 5th of December

Still suffering a bit alright, although the pitchers we went for yesterday to aid the recover may not have helped much. It was really good craic though and great to put faces to a few (user)names.

Red wine on the duvet covers is another big memory for me. Was sooo upset bout that. We trashed the hotel room!

remember mysticmon falling all right! pity she didnt fall right in front of me and I could have rescued her there and then!
she would have fallen for me then!

This is some of the sequence of events I remember:

Pints
Discussion of most and least favourite posters
Laughing at Derry City
Laughing at Dundalk
I make the mistake of saying that if I wanted to, as well as my Irish and my British passport, I could get a Welsh passport if I choose.
Arrival of Rory
Double cocktails
Double pints
Adjourn to Doyle's
Holidaysong steals a table from a group of people who are momentarily out of them dancing.
Said people keep coming back to the table to pick up their belongings like dispossessed refugees.
Someone trips of Magicme. Or Magicme trips. Of someone trips, it's unclear in my memory.
Voicemail left for Mr A
Football chanting
Laughing at Derry City
Laughing at Dundalk

Pretty much sums it up but you forgot about me chatting up random blokes outside before you dragged us to try find the Viper room or Legs. Then I say the magical words..........Residents bar.

hi 5

Aww now Acornville, if you knew how competitive our wee gathering was you would understand.

Still delighted that Monaghan United Fans outnumbered other clubs by 2:1 btw.

**bennocelt** · 11/12/2009, 9:45 AM

Just curious - but how did ye guys break the ice? Were you all wearing club colours, etc?

**Magicme** · 11/12/2009, 10:04 AM

Well most of us knew at least one other. Mystic and I arrived in and Martinho rang to say he was outside so then joined us. We later spotted Holidaysong who I have met before and then Mystic spotted this guy who had been texting as he came into the pub and then was sitting alone texting for a while and she wondered if he was one of us.

Me being a bit of a bold bowsey went up to said guy and said "Are you here for a football meet up?" He said yes so I asked was it the foot.ie one and when he said yes, I introduced myself and that is how Tetsujin joined us. The others knew some of us and joined us later.
