Soccer Forum Beers

bamboozling

A Soccer Forum Beers, are you mad?

No, I say, why not join up for a game, watch some good football and get to know the warriors away from their keyboards.

Other forums often have beers yet the soccer forum never does. Why?

Let's put the animosity aside, let's put the petty gross spend, De Gea and all other spurious little aguements aside as well.

Anyone care to suggest a date or venue?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a Soccer beers.:pac:

Mr Alan

It's been done before & it was a good laugh.

I'd fear half the newer members of this forum aren't old enough for a 'beers' tbh.

niallo27

So a load of beer and a load of utd and liverpool fans all together, sounds like a good night to me.

When was the last one and why did the stop?

Poker forum v Soccer forum match followed by beers is the last one I remember, another rematch would be good.

Mr Alan

The last soccer beers was 21/02/2009.

There's been attempts to organise ones since but it never seems to have taken off for some reason.

Do you think there would be much enthusiasm for a new one?

One hosted by you or just one in general?

Cill Dara Abu

We should have it in The Players Lounge...oh wait...

I was thinking one in general. I'd hope my participation wouldn't discourage the LOIers to attend.

I'm not sure chief. But it's worth a shot.

Gaff party in Bamboozlers?

bamboozling

I think it's worth a shot. The banter and sense of fun is gone from this forum.

I remember the good old days when there was a sense of community around the place.

We need something to restore that fire amongst the users.

I did, I'm back.

I'm up for a forum weekend to Buenos Aires if people are up for it. Catch a Boca match, get some coke and hookers, have a forum game before we leave?

* obligatory LOI input*

Nice how watching football on TV has been mentioned but not going to an actual match.

Great idea. Fire ideas out ther guys.

So a LOI game in Dublin with pre-match and post-match pints seems to make the most sense to me? Shels or Bohs would be easiest for most people as they're city centre. If they're clashing with other LOI games though we'll obviously be missing a big chunk of people.

Ireland v Armenia, 11th October?

You'd like to think everyone would be shouting for the same side anyway even allowing for the disagreements on Trap/Killer/Andy Reid's guitar etc etc.

noodler

Where'd the last one take place?

Mr Alan

The one in 2009 was in The PorterHouse & then onto The Palace if I remember correctly

I'm sure most people from here will be at the game though (I will anyway) which means the drinks taking place at 10.30pm or 11.00pm.

cson

Jaysus, not catering to those with the tightened purse strings with The Porterhouse [though I do like the place].

I'd say the FAI Cup Final could also be a shout if the FAI do the same as last year with the Aviva and €10 tickets.

dahat

Hope Sean Bateman aka De Gea hater is not going,would not like to see that sh1te kick off in person!!:D

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Count me in for a game, great idea.

a sure you will never beat the 2008 one with a grand total of 4/5 inc Des & his bird, after which myself and Neil1984 went off trying to pull young ones... ahh memories :pac:

Kingdom Bhoy

Get yourselves over to Sunderland for a match and I will buy you guys a proper drink Double Maxim.

Gillington

Sounds like a bit of fun,I'll stay tuned for further developments but either a LOI game or TV game sounds good,some Saturday in the Woolshed perhaps!? Cheap beers,plenty of screens etc

The Volt

Instead of a game v the Poker forum we could run a 5 a side somewhere? These places usually have bars to have a sesh in afterwards

Was in there for the first time last weekend, definitely a good place to watch a game. Got the "half and half" for 7.50euro, and couldn't finish it!:o
Liked the mini stand seating area, nice idea.

I'd be on for either of these.

GLaDOS

I could definitely be tempted to this, should be mandatory to wear a jersey from your chosen club

MIN2511

Right, just to say this.... There are women (ahem) who post in here!
:pac:

And not the woolshed! Sinnotts? Or what's the pub in Rathmines - opp Tesco...

noodler

I kind of like the Woolshed.

Sinnotts is bit...well I don't it is really fit for purpose in this case.

BOHtox

So a everybody goes to a Bohs game and then to the bars in Dalymount afterwards. We can even have a pub crawl from the members bar to the long bar. Sit in the stands after the match while drinking. Sounds good to me.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Why don't we play a game rather than watching one did though, 7 a side would be ideal, don't think we should have trouble getting 14 players.

The Volt

A 5/7 a side tourny could work well if people did actually wear the jerseys of the teams they supported. I realize we'd have possibly a dozen teams for Liverpool and United but a nothing a set of bibs wont sort out.

Alternatively a LOI v EPL match would be fun

lordgoat

I'd be more inclined in play in a match.

Besides i reckon the standard of a boards match would be similar to one we'd go and watch. (tongue in cheek).

That said anyone i play with, track back and make your passes or i'll give out. A lot.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Right, well some one needs to organise it so, I don't know Dublin very well plus I'm doing the HoF thing too so that rules me out :P
We need to figure out the numbers first, even considering the amount of posters on here I think we'd be doing well to get ~50.

You'll do well to get 8.

Having organised the two Soccer -v- Poker matches it will go something like this:

Idea is sprung.
50 people go: 'Yeah great idea I definitely will!'
A date is set and about half drop out.
The week of and night before you lose at least another half or so because lads 'can't make it' or 'forgot I had a <excuse x/y/z>' etc.
The day of about half the remaining people just won't show up without any explanation.

Ya it's a pain in the hole organising anything like this, boards probably even worse.

Mars Bar

I could definitely see that happening Frisbee.

I'd be up for it so long as I'm not busy that day, could get to Dublin and back cheaply and have someplace cheap to stay.

I'd be more inclined to go if we were to play a match rather than going to a match to be honest.

How about we play a match, then go to a match and then go for drinks?
