Anyone up for meeting for a pint and watching football?

_blank_

OK lads, I don't know how this will go down, I think it has been talked about before, but I just thought I'd give it a go again.

Mods, if it's inappropriate, then I say sorry.

Anyway.

Would any of you lot be up for meeting up and watching a game?

I'm suggesting the Ireland game on Saturday as the possible date, maybe the one next Wednesday as a second possibility.

The reason i propose the Ireland game is that I reckon everyone will at least be rooting for the same team, and there could be a good bit of craic and banter. It also rules out the "I wouldn't go and watch that shower of shíte Liverpool/Manchester/Arsenal/Chelsea etc etc".

Now, you all come on here and blab on and on about your own teams, how you'd do the management job, who you'd buy, who you'd drop, who you'd play, who you hate, who you love and all that jazz.

Anyway, just a thought. What say ye?

Y'know, I knew someone would say it.

I wouldn't normally either, but it's the most neutral ground imo.

I'll be in my Shels jersey anyway, trying to get a few converts.


OH NO, that might scare people off!!

no yer not the only one. but seeing as nearly 25% of Irish people live in or around Dublin (and i'd hazard an even greater percentage of boardsies, seeing as broadband penetration is pretty low in parts of the country), with the rest of us scattered all over the place it's a pretty good bet that Dublin would be the best spot for this to happen.

I cordially invite you all to leninbenjamin's house in galway as an alternative

Well im in cork, but i have a new nephew in galway i havent seen yet so i guess i could call up! Thanks Leninbenjamin!

In fact, im afraid I will not be at any of these things, bit too much of a drive for a pint and a match in a pub. Though i was thinking we should try and organise a big "boards.ie soccer" 5 a side tournament thing for some weekend, with pints afterwards. try and get as many outsiders as possible up to dublin for it.

leninbenjamin

heh, shatners the one with pro-evo, i think we should all go there

*whacks shatners bassoon with crutch while no one looks*

kryogen

lol well wherever ill be definatly up for it anyway!!! sure why dont you all come down to waterford, ive got a dart board?
