Gardaí are investigating an armed robbery and a fire at The Players Lounge in Fairview, Dublin.

A gang of four men, one armed with a handgun, entered the premises shortly after 2am and tied up the manager.

They took a substantial amount of cash from the safe. A fire then broke out.

It is not clear whether it was accidental however gardaí are treating it as suspicious.

Extensive damage was caused to the lounge area of the pub.

The scene has been preserved for forensic examination.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses.

Who in there right mind would dare rob that place, taking there life in there hands doing that.

Dodgy crowd and a very shady owner, I'm not surprised.

Mind you, maybe it was the SAS, annoyed that they wouldn't serve the Queen a pint of plain there.

Isn't this what is commonly known as "Crapping in your own nest"?

I think it was Grundy productions - they're cracking down on every company who uses the "Neighbours" font.

MrStuffins · 02-08-2011 09:28AM

Maybe it was Pepsi. They heard there was an unusual amount of Coke flying out of there!

Must have been some serious scrilla in the safe after last weekend-the place would have been jammed with Celtards.

Considering some of the stories have been reported nationwide, i'd say After Hours is an ok place to have it!

Well you 2 crazy cats seem to know it all.... enlighten us so..

Oh and as a second note, I would be sure most Boardsies dont buy papers, they get most of their news free on the internet.

There is a distinct distaste for NOTW / The Sun / The mirror and the Sunday World here so your points arent really very valid.
