Eh...should someone not be giving Brogans a shout out...ya know...for luck like.

The Flowing Tide do great toasted ham & cheese sambos. They make 'em on batch bread too, so they don't go soggy quickly the way that yer aul sliced pan sambos do. God, am getting hungry now too.

Fallon's was great for that too. But it's been a loooooooong time since I was there. Fook, it might be since about 2007. Jaysus.

Well on a football related note, the underage CCC2 resumes this week after the Summer break so I get to enjoy my other favourite past time of badgering the ref. Tho in fairness I've quietened down a lot since we've started winning

The lads were reminding me of the Dublin/Galway drawn game in the hurling champ in May. Coen was pulling and dragging Schutte from the get go, but was getting short changed by the ref. So the next incident which occurs right along the line beside us in 306 - I'm up and I'm off on one, as the ref McGrath is taking Coens name I come out with something like "for fuq sake ref he's swinging out of him like a couple at a marriage referendum rally" .. and McGrath stalls with the name taking and looks up at me in the Cusack - for anyone with small kids at the game I sincerely apologise

Still open. Still going strong for now.

May not be with us for much longer.

The Clery's debacle takes in that whole block on Marlborough Street.
So it will go the way of development.

This is the one before the bridge on the right heading out of town, there was a plant for hire place converted on the corner across the bridge .. dunno what that's called .. it would be geographically the same as the Red Parrot if that helps !

Mare of a day. Might meander my way to The Flowing Tide for a pint or 3 and a pizza.

Then go home and have my dinner

I know where you're talking about but Cross Guns Bridge is at the other end of the Whitworth Road.

You city boys need to get into the Dublin Mountains and try The Blue Light! Cracking Guinness always draws me back for a few when I get the better half to do the driving!

Well, well worth it if your ever up that neck of the woods! The oul fella (regular Guinness drinker for 50+ years) thinks it's the best around and always insists on a trek out when they visit for the weekend!

So that's what that was. Would be a savage spot. Big front area for a beer garden. On the canal. Dammit.

Fair play to you & your oul fella for getting out and about to experience the joys (and pints) all over our glorious capital.

Yeah me Da used to refer to people as a bowsy .. I think they were the lads that had a bit of something about them but nothing serious enough to have come to the notice of the judiciary whereas a bollix was someone who should be in the judicial system :rolleyes:

If walking up the canal from Croker Smiths (Formally mahoney) is on the LHS and the pub across the canal on the RHS is the Porter house north.
I have been to Smiths a few times after a match seems grand as it's a decent size boozer,With plenty of staff on me and the lads liked it as there is hardly any queue while getting a drink and plenty of seats available.

Are we allowed discuss tactics.? Or do we need to avoid giving things away, will I be paid a visit?

ThunbergsAreGo

Only Nally left on tickets.ie (missed the bring a friend with the season ticket). Anyone think there will be more tickets released or are we nailed on for a sellout?

Closer to the day, there may be. I'll be getting my Parnell Pass one on Tuesday week in the ticket office on Dorset Street. Worth trying there later in that week. That's when the returns start coming back.

The ride in from the Red Cow is not bad. OK, It can be very packed on match days and the country folk complain about it as more and more people get on along the way. Some cute hoors even first get the Luas from the Red Cow to Tallaght, then get off and get on an empty one back into town and so have their seats. Even it if it is packed, if you get standing near some other match-goers, there can be good conversation and some craic. The tourists of course, usually don't know what is going on, only assuming we are going to a sports event when they see the shirts. First guess is soccer, then rugby, but when they get told its Gaelic Football they are confused, and even more so when you say Hurling. They can at least recognise the word "Football".

"Where do we get off?" is a common question, particularly for those folk that are such avid fans that this is the first match of the year they've gone to and they've never been to Croke Park.:rolleyes: A lot get off at Jervis and some at Abbey Street and others go on to Connolly. The smarter passengers, like myself, get off at Busaras. Beats having to cross back Amiens Street to head up to Croke Park. There is also a bit of fun watching them all go to the wrong door, seeing as you get off at the other side at Busaras, compared to other stops. So when I get on, I always head over to the door on the other side, ready to get off when we get to Busaras. It's not just the country folk that can be cute hoors.

As for drinking establishments, well I am not a Guinness drinker, so I can't really comment on the quality of pints of it. As for pubs, most people exiting onto Clonliffe Road, head up towards the Drumcondra end. A gang of us go the other way, and go to Meaghers. Much quieter than the mayhem of the likes of Quinns, but still with plenty of buzz. Always a large amount of Dubs, as most of the country folk have headed towards Drumcondra or town. Local knowledge is great for us natives.:)

Getting back to GAA matters, anyone heading in to support the minor hurlers tomorrow? 2pm start. Hopefully we'll be there on All-Ireland day too.

Just heard that the match is sold out,I was checking out tickets.ie the other day and they only had upper tier and some Nally tickets left.
Just as well I have the Parnell pass really looking forward to the match.
