Well would you prefer to be in school with the pubs open or off school and them closedOriginally Posted by DE TOWN
Well, I'm in school so I don't have to work over Easter or any other holiday for that matter
You shouldn't be in the pub anyway, you should be at home studying
I hate that. What do they call it?...Laws or something....its all part of this thing the government have where they like telling people what to do
You wish for a hippie commune, and end up with an anarchist state.
anyway, everyone will go out tonight like drinks going out of fashion, then back again on saturday to make up for lost time. So the publicans probably won't lose out much
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Wouldn't really matter to me as I would never be in the pub
Studying......
Typical ignorant uneducated responsedont mind her studying is only for geeks, thick people or very thick people i.e. galway people
Just to let you's know that all public houses (including Sports Clubs etc, etc) are prohibited from selling drink. The only way you will be served a pint or any kind of drink is if you get the train up to Belfast or the other northern counties.
If you think that every pub and club in the Republic will be not be serving drink tomorrow then you are in cuckoo land. I am sure there are loads of people who will know where there's a jar or two available tomorrow.

Does anyone remember a freezing cold day in Wrexham in February 1991 when we played Wales? The local police ordered the pubs closed from 2pm pending the invasion of the Green Army. They couldn't understand why there were very few people around the streets an hour or so before the game. Police or no police the local publicans were not going to miss out on what was potentially their busiest day of the year.
Every pub in the town was officially closed but at the same time every pub was full until kick-off time. We were in the pub right beside The Racecourse Ground, called the The Turf, I think, and the only danger of not getting a drink was that it was a struggle to the bar as the place was jammed. At the same time the police were telling people coming in on trains that all pubs in the town were closed and they should go straight to the ground.
Mobile phones were rarities in 1991 but the Bush Telegraph and the local 'spotters' employed by the publicans to tempt in the thirsty ensured that most people got in somewhere.
"I can guarantee you will not get a drink in this town tonight" said one big ugly Welsh bobby as we arrived by coach. The same assh*le was not too amused when we returned after the game, eurphoric after a 3-0 win on an ice rink and several pints of the local bevvy. Happy Days!

When we go to countries where alcohol is banned, we have to live within their rules.
Having said that, I have no religious or ideological reason to support the Good Friday closure. I just think it is a quaint old custom which I would like to see kept, even if it blocks my enjoyment of apres match tomorrow night.

Why dont we turn this into a poll question?
Poll Question:
Do you think pubs should be open on Good Friday?
Yes/No
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Isn't the airport and hotel bars open today. I remember staying in a hotel a few years ago on Good Friday and they served drink all day to residents only.
Not sure i actually agree with the whole closing of pubs on Good Friday, but its no harm to have an excuse to stay in the odd time!!!
