    Don't worry mods, i'm not asking about net feeds or ought like that, but I am wondering are there any pubs/sports bars that show Prem games that aren't on Sky or Setanta.

    I remember when I was over in Newcastle there were a few pubs that would show the 3 o'clock game every Saturday.

    Hoping to catch Newcastle/Fulham but know its unlikely.

    And before anyone suggests I get a foreign sat subscription, I am already looking into it.

    Ah cheers, thats exactly what I was looking for.

    Yeah, based in Dublin so I will check it out.

    Do they have different floors or numerous screens, as they list a few games that are on in and around that time?

    Does there be much craic in there on a Saturday for the football?

    They have plenty of screens, but I've never been there on a Saturday so can't vouch for how it would work. Best off wait for someone more clued-in to post here or give them a ring closer to the time.

    It's all upstairs in one big room (usually 1 match on downstairs). 2 big screens and I think 3 other telly's. All showing different matches/sports if there's a lot on.

    No it's moved to Trivia bar on Westmoreland st. I'm calling it Trivia bar but I've heard about 5 names for it.

    I never really understood the bad rep Frasers had though. Never had any problems in there. In saying that 3 hours is all I'd be there for. Some nice women in there when Barca played.

    just so you know, the pub itself is called o sullivans and the nightclub downstairs us called trivia(or should i say triv?a-best nightclub in dublin imho)

    but getting back on topic, if theres a celtic match on at the same time dont try o sulivans because the celtic supporters club have that booked! ruaille buaille (formerly major toms) just up from stephens green (the pub downstairs past wagamamma) will probably show it!

    The woolshed and the living room on the northside and the czech inn on the southside are all good.
