There's a bunch of lads meeting in Slattery's before the game, other than that the usual suspects of Doyle's outside Trinity College and Frazer's at the top of O'Connell Street spring to mind

Why not watch it somewhere near the ground like the beggers bush or Slatterrys, Murrys, the Lansdowne, you never know you may bump into someone that has a spare ticket if your around that area, it has happened before to people I know who went to watch the game in a pub near the ground.

Doyles is my local in town and I was just passed there today..it was all closed up and looks like it having renovations or something. The Sumarine Bar is ab fab for away games your not going to. Although I'm not going back there till we play someone crap and are guaranteed a win as I put a jinx on the place Basle 2003.

....... the worst type of venue to watch an Ireland game. Full of olérs and gob****es who haven't a club about the basic principles of football. Avoid it like the plague is my humble opinion

I can see your point for sure....but ye don't have to mix with other folks....go with your own crowd and soak up a bit of the atmosphere. Coming from abroad your hardly gonna care if someone is bandwagon jumping ole oler. Your gonna be more into the crack.

Victorieux des Iles Féroe samedi au Stade Félix-Bollaert à Lens (3-0), les Bleus (photo Patrick Vieira) poursuivent leur préparation en Artois avant de s'envoler pour Dublin mardi matin au départ de Lille-Lesquin. Au programme du jour : récupération et soins dans la matinée. Vidéo et entraînement à huis-clos après le déjeuner. Mercredi, la France défie la République d'Irlande à Lansdowne Road.

Get down early.

very sharp

We are and will have to mix it with les blues. From the posts here it seems like there is going to be a lot of green in the away section so we shouldnt be lonely

Thanks to all for suggestions
