Sidney77

Anyone know if the ireland v france game will be shown in any of Melbournes irish bars, pref somewhere that will have a good number of irish people for a proper session if we win

depends what tv station have it, but celtic club will have it for sure and casino will too if its on fox or espn

It hasnt been confirmed yet if the match is definately on TV. It looks like setanta has the rights for the games at this stage but if all the games are on the same time then the match may only be showed delayed. All this has yet to be confirmed.

http://www.setanta.com/au/Our-Sports/Football/World-Cup-Qualifiers-2010/

This will be a 7am kick off (melbourne time) so it may be hard to get a pub to stay open or to open up for this.

If the game is not on Setanta, streaming over the internet is a possibility with Charles Dickens pub http://www.charlesdickenstavern.com.au/ an option. If a lot of people call up and they believe they will get a crowd they will stay open for the match.

toffeeforever

Setanta are showing the Second Leg live but are not showing the first game unfortunately. At the moment looks like it will only be available through streaming so Charles Dickens pub is best bet.

we should organise a boards beers for that night. if only so charles dickens will stay open!
if we each ring up separately inquiring about it, then they'll get hte impression theres a huge demand!
think of it as a private boardsie bar!

It might be on ESPN, they haven't updated their website yet so I'll keep checking that.

The_B_Man

we have foxtel in our apartment. the price we pay for it, so if its not on ESPN or fox sports i might just bleedin cancel it! whats the point paying all that for cricket! its handy tho if u wanna stay up til 3am for the premiership.

also, check SBS2. they've shown ireland matches in the past. The last one being Italy v Ireland in Italy (the one they got a man sent off for elbowing O'Shea).

Internet streaming FTW

sorry, missed that, thornbury

Sidney77

alright lads i just got a mail back from teh celtic club who say they are just showing the second leg, doors open at 6am,

Coileach dearg

Th match is being shown live on ESPN Sunday morning. Yippee

The_B_Man

excellent!! at least i can now partially justify the ripoff that is Foxtel!

i'm in work 9am thursday mornin so might just get up an extra bit early and watch it, as opposed to stayin up all night drinkin, then goin into work!


EDIT: Wait, what time is kick off, melbourne time??

double edit: Its 8pm irish time, so 7am melbourne time. have already mentioned it in work i might be half an hour late! lets hope theres no extra time!!

I'm in Sydney and will be watching it at home.

toffeeforever

im going to watch it at home too unless anyone knows of any place good to watch. would much prefer to watch it in a pub with an atmosphere. Casino will probably have it on but with no commentary in there I dont like it for matchs.

The_B_Man

so no pubs in melbourne are showing it? bummer!1

out of curiosity, how many people in melbourne are now gonna be without a place to watch it?

Maire2009

Anyone know if its gonna be shown in Brisbane anywhere?

toffeeforever

I just emailed Celtic Club about the game on Sunday Morning. Odd that they will open up on Thurs morning at 6 and not a weekend morning so fingers crossed everybody could get together and watch it in there

dave_t

I just emailed the Celtic Club and Pint on Punt asking if they'll be showing it. I was in Charles Dickens on Sunday watching the Man Utd Chelsea game and there was a good crowd so I wouldn't mind if they opened.

toffeeforever

Celtic Club are not showing it Sunday Morning

"Hi , Yes it is being shown live on ESPN however, due to liquor license restrictions we are unable to open at that time on a Sunday. We will be showing the 2nd leg on Thursday morning at 7am. Doors Open at 6am.

dave_t

Yeah, I saw the post from earlier in the thread after I emailed. Any other ideas? Really want to see it and would like an atmosphere

toffeeforever

I have just emailed Bridie O Reillys on Lower Collins Street about the game.

http://ltcollinsst.bridieoreillys.com.au/

I watched the 6 nations games (fond memories) there and there was a cracking atmosphere and they had some 5am kick offs so possibly there or else Charles Dickens.

dave_t

Good stuff. I might email too. Let us know what the response is anyway. I might drop into Charles Dickens and ask if they're showing it if I get the chance.

Sidney77

I have heard that the celtic club have the game on sunday and its 5 dollars in, you might wanna check, its something a mate of mine told me but im gonna double check

dave_t

I'm going to drop in Charles Dickens tomorrow and see if they'll show it. I'll post when I know

toffeeforever

I know Celtic Club are charging $5 for entry Thurs Morning. I assume she would have emailed me back if things had changed re Sunday so I doubt this is true but if it is happy days!

Anybody know any pubs that open up for breakfast? Its a 7am kick off. You think plenty of places would be open at that time.

toffeeforever

Pint on Punt are not showing it either but are opening up on Thurs for second leg..anybody here anything back from Charles Dickens...


Sorry,
The only game we are showing is the France V Ireland game on Thursday morning @ 7am doors open at 6.45 am and we are serving Breakfast from 7am.
I think the only place showing this game is the Casino.

Hope this is of some help to you,

indeed....:)

dave_t

Just got the same response from Pint on Punt. I'm going to drop into Charles Dickens in a while and I'll post then.

dave_t

Right,
I went into Bridie O'Reilly's and they said they've had a lot of interest and they've been pushing for upper management to open but they said they won't

PJ O'Briens said they won't be opening

Pugg Mahone's said they have had about 3 people before me in and if they more interest they will open. They took my number and said they'll let me know. They also took the other 3 people's numbers.

Charles Dickens said they will be open for it and said they'll be open all night so that's probably the best bet.

I'd say if everyone wants to go to Pugg Mahone's then give them a call or drop in otherwise I'll probably go to Charles Dickens. Post with any responses you get if you call Pugg Mahones.

toffeeforever

Great work Dave_t. As a slight word of warning, Charles Dickens did tell me before (Cyrpus V Ireland ) that they will be staying open all night and that they will be showing the game via an internet stream. Unfortunately when I arrived there at 5:30am the place was in darkness so its good to have a fall back plan just in case.

I did watch Leinester V Munster in the Heineken Cup final last year though and the atmosphere was electric and the place was rocking. Touch wood they stick to their word this time.

dave_t

I'll just have to go to the casino if they're not open I suppose although hopefully there'll be more interest in this one so people might go in there earlier. Also, i was thinking that, if I remember rightly, england v brazil is on at 5pm at home which would be 4am here so if they show that that would bring it to open until 6am so there might not be any point of them closing at that stage.

smullyhead

just off the phone to charles dickens and they aren't showing the game. Pugg Mahones said ring back at half 5 and they will know, he said if they have about 15 people then they will open, he is just waiting to see the demand today

dave_t

Lucky you rang because the guy in there (Charles Dickens) yesterday said they'll definitely be showing it. I even specified it was on at 7am. Lets hope Pugg Mahones open so.

toffeeforever

Charles Dickens are rubbish! Exact same thing as last time.

I just called Pugg Mahones to add my name to the list. They said they will know at 5 pm or so. They wont open up for a handful of people.

If anybody else wants to ring and add their support their number is 03 9670 2278

Just rang them and some woman told me they aren’t open Sundays.

CiaranC

Its on in the Hotel Barkly in St Kilda, 7am Sunday morning

forgodssake22

Just rang Puggs. They have about 18 on the list. If they get 30/40 they will open.

forgodssake22

Hotel Barley in Kilda are definately showing it just rang them there.

dave_t

I'll probably just go to St. Kilda so if I don't hear from Pugg Mahones. This is such a pain. Should've stayed in Sydney. There'll definitely be no problem seeing it there or even in Brisbane. I don't understand why it is so hard to find somewhere here.

toffeeforever

im very sceptical of all places but Barkly Hotel is definately staying open. Doors are opening up at 7:00am but they do not have a licence to serve booze at that time.

dave_t

I might just take a look around the CBD around 5.30 and if there's nowhere open then go to St. Kilda.

toffeeforever

You will probably find a number of places opening up at 7 am for breakfast and that in the city at that time. Its just more to find a place with a good atmosphere. If you are trying the CBD stick your head in the casino. Always a few people in there

The_B_Man

i was thinkin of opening up my little apartment but could only manage like 2/3 ppl max! doubt me housemates would agree to it tho.

I live right beside st kilda junction, so if enough boardsies are headin to barkly, i might head over too, down a few cans beforehand!

dave_t

Will do. I'll be happy once there's a small bit of an atmosphere

Yeah, if there's a few going there I'll go there too.

seananto

Called the Charles Dickens...they're def not showing the match. I called a few places, and the only ones showing it is the Barkly in St Kilda. The catch is; no beer until 9am. Shockin' stuff altoghether, but hopefully we'll be celebrating by that stage.

Roll on the Saturday all-nighter!

Olé Olé Olé!
