England fans in Dublin - Where to watch The World Cup?

Charisteas · 02-06-2010 08:25PM #1

I just want to say that I did read the sticky about 'no Soccer related threads', but you understand that I dont want to talk about soccer, only the pubs and bars where to watch.

Does anyone know of any bar in Dublin city centre where England fans will meet up and enjoy the World Cup 2010 games together?

I know there are always a lot of English people in Temple Bar, but it would be good if me and a couple of my English mates knew where to go before-hand.

And also I don't wish to cause offence to anybody who hates the English, at the end of the day we just want to enjoy the match with a bit of craic, and we promise to drink Guinness!

At home behind drawn curtains with a shotgun at the ready lest the neighbours hear you!

Hard to say. Offhand I know of no English ethnic pubs.

Although some statistics will show that about 50% of Irish people support England in these competitions, they do so quietly, at home, apparently.

In the pubs anti-Englishness abounds. So you may not be comfortable with that, and if you colonise a pub with your mates some idiot ,or two, will come in and support the other side. Thats ok, if it remains fun I suppose. up to you. You could go around to people's houses, as another option.

Its not you, it's us. Personally I would support any team from "these islands".

Well if he shouts "SCORE!!!!" - the neighbours will probably think he's giving the wife one.

The George, I think. Maybe the Norseman as well.

I expect better from you Biggins! :P

most pubs will be showing the games .... just be prepared for some ignorant drunk who wants to start a fight !! (he may not even tell you he wants to start a fight and could possibly hit you to start the fighting)

In one of your own homes, we don't like your type around here :pac:

df1985 · 02-06-2010 08:39PM

I dont agree with it but you're asking for trouble in a dublin pub to be shouting for england.

InTheTrees · 02-06-2010 08:40PM

What "world cup"???

Messer Maguire's always seems to have a noticable English presence for some reason. Maybe an alternative to Dublins English ghetto?

Also, be sure to strut up and down O'Connell St in your red jersey chanting the theme to "The Great Escape" with your mates in the unlikely even England win a game. We love that.

chopperbyrne · 02-06-2010 08:41PM

Go to the Wool Shed on Parnell St.

Probably the best sports bar in the city, but make sure to get there early as it gets quite full for matches, especially the World Cup.

Wolfe Tone · 02-06-2010 08:42PM

I suggest one of those trad pubs

England v France Final.

England to win with a blatant hand of god by John Terry all the way from the half way line.

Theirry Henry dies due to getting Kicked in the head by his own foot.

Carlsberg dont do world cup finals.. but if they did...

UK Embassy in Ballsbridge would be about the safest place.

Failing that try somewhere on the Southside, Dun Laoghire (Kingstown to the locals) or Blackrock!

Synnots on Stephens Green might be alright I'd reckon.

ejmaztec · 02-06-2010 08:49PM

There're are going to be roars of laughter, and loud cheering, but it won't be from the English fans.:P

celticbest · 02-06-2010 08:52PM

You would be best of to watch it in one of your houses OP.

All you need is one person to say the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong spot and all hell could break loose.

Most people would enjoy taking the p!ss especially if England are losing a game........but all you need is one drunk kicking off and your night could be wrecked.

Easily avoided if they dont go into a pub full of nackers

Most decent irish people can behave themselves
