The Salthouse have recently begun to show matches and have a chalkboard with details up for the week usually.

Thanks for that. My hotel is close to that bar so will take a look.

Where in Galway is the best to go watch soccer games ?

hi guys,

Have a friend who's dying to watch this, but apparently RTE aren't showing it?

He's wondering if there's any hotel / pub showing this match?

Rang The Clayton, Huntsmann and Connaught hotel - no go in all those three.

Or is there somewhere he can stream it online?

Thanks

The only place you can watch it live is tullamore. Not on internet or tv

Moyglish

Friend reckons it's going to be on Sky Sports 3 and was looking for a pub or hotel that might be showing it?

Will check out the RTE site, thanks for info guys

Sky objected so not being shown

It's nothing to do with sky, the same thing would have happened for the past few years when TV3 had matches, there was a provision that RTE couldn't show matches at the same time as a TV3 match (and vice versa).

So if you want somebody to blame for it not being on TV, the Leinster Council decided for various reasons to put the match on at that time, perhaps to get an extra few thousand through the gates (attendance was up about 5,000).

It should have been on the GAA GO site that RTE run for the GAA, as they have all the matches, but I don't know if this is available in Ireland or just abroad.

I'm a Spurs fan, Heading into Galway tomorrow with a Gooner fan to watch the mach. Is there a Spurs pub in Galway or just a good pub for watching the match?

pleasant Co.

Don't think there is a spurs pub, I liked fagans but sadly that's no more. Will be in watching it myself but haven't set sights on a venue yet, i'll keep an eye on this thread for suggestions

My son tells me Kelly's in town has the big screens for the games, so may try there.

pleasant Co.

Yeah, it's got a projector and a few awkwardly placed 32" tvs, worth a punt for sure.

i checked online, 'Galway Spurs' showed up on facebook, its on private so cant find info and i wont add them as friends. you can do it tho!

if im correct, i think that the western hotel might be there meeting point!

but if you dont want to meet up with them, any decent of the big pubs will have it on, front door, dail, pucan etc

Thanks Swiftman, I don't do Facebook, life's too short. Ye I'v been in the Pucan recently, not for footie, and it is a fine place since the done it up and I have free parking right beside there so might try that and if that's empty just head on down to Kelly's. Its an early start so town could be quite.

Dew Drop is a good spot for a match but not sure if they open for early games. Garveys always show them too.

Awful pub to watch sport in from previous experience.

As mentioned Dew Drop Inn is an Arsenal pub if it's open. Pucan is where I'm heading for it as I know for sure they've shown BT early games in there. Seats go quickly though and the rugby is on after too.

jobeenfitz

well I am going to be a lazy son of a bitch and head for the pucan to watch Spurs beat the Gooners, if that aint working I'm gonna head down Shop street with my gooner brother and see what happens. When Spurs do win, what does it matter where we watch or end up?

Abit off topic, but has any pub got Fox Sports or NBC?

Very unlikely, and ive never seen any with them.

The Cellar bar was shaping up to be a Spurs supporters bar for awhile last year but think it has trailed off in last while (haven't been myself in over a year). The Oslo bar in Salthill has largest screen and good food and craft beer.

Any time ive seen theany match on the screen in the Oslo the quality has been woeful, Krcma is a better option in Salthill for me.
