Need a football team

daniel3982

I guess this would've been best in the footie forum but i cant post there basically am moving over to Dublin in a few weeks and I need a regular football fix so going to have to get myself a local side to cheer on. With no historic ties to anyone in Dublin just wondering which side has the best atmosphere, nice enough stadium, cheap pies. plays good football and will be a pleasure to watch; that sort of thing.

Somewhere I won't get my head kicked in for having an English accent will be nice too

Cheers

Most LOI stadiums in Dublin are poor quality. Conference standard.

I dont think we really have pies in Ireland. Sorry about that

It wont matter being English

The Irish season is nearly over mate so that could be a problem for you.

Definitely Shels

Great flags and displays most weeks.

Friendly bar, and the best football in the First Division.

Sounds good guys, I'll check out Shelbourne!

Forgot you guys played summer football, ah well the premierleague will have to keep me going til the live stuff starts again, how's the standard of the LOI these days? I used to watch a lot of Irish League football and it was roughly conference standard I'd say, but that was an age ago and the likes of Doyle have made a big impact in England so would you say its improved these days?

I dont mind though, prefer watching conference football and having a nice pint in the club bar then paying £30 to watch overrated tosh in the premiership anyway!
