For those of us left at home.

The problem with watching the big games in a pub is that you tank up beforehand, drink more during the game and before you know it the big game you've been sh1tting planks over for 6 weeks is over in what seems like 20 minutes and you can't remember any of it.

And what's the point in shouting songs at a big screen that can't hear you?

Waxy o'connor's in glasgow is great for watching games, so spacious and not so much of a problem with the smoke. na-na-na-na-na

Its a tough one i know

Its a choice between either cramming it in down the pub with the boyz who burn your hair with their smokes, or its pink slippers and malteasers at home havin a good ogle at the lads in green.

That's right $Leon$. Really enjoyed the session even if the result didnt go our way. It was a lovely hot day and the 2 of us were knocking back bottles of beer. I might have risked my life by venturing into Kilmacud, but it was worth it for $Leon$'s cinema screen tv.

The pub just doesnt compare - full of know-it-alls.

Gotta agree with that...

Gettin a projector for the game a few of the lads and loads of beer plus football all day...Happy days indeed! Will be taken it easy till the ireland game is over though...The Sumarine bar in Crumlin is gonna be packed to the rafters because of so little fans goin over so you'd have to get there as the doors open to get a view point.But its still a good place for Ireland fans to get together. I watched the Ireland Swiss match there in 2003 so I jinx the place for meself and won't be back untill I watch some meaningless friendly to get rid of the jinx. Plus have to have a cigarette in the hand all the time cos of the nerves so at home it has to be.....

Watched the last Old Firm game at a pub, two girls had two of the best seats in the house, and however the hell they managed it.. they talked to one another for the 90 minutes non-stop, wonder if they even took a breath.

Anyhow, if you're in a right soccer pub, they'll have the sound blaring. If any of ye are in the New York area, The Heritage in Woodlawn (McLean Ave) is always good. Usually packed for the games, something like 12 screens (including a big projector screen, quality is fine so long as you don't go comparing it to the regular screens), and the sound on good and high. Can't wait for Saturday.
