Great idea Charles.

If yiz want to use the Boardeaux Team account, that's lying idle at the moment, as it's almost empty after the fees and stuff were paid for the current season.

It was recently used for the Euro 2008 Soccer Forum Sweetsteak.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Use the Bordeaux account mainly, and then anyone who has to pay by Paypal can do it through me, and I will pass it on.

Fair enough. We can chin wag on Wed. evening so. Still no real Boards access in work, so I am restricted to evenings at the moment.

If one wanted to come out to this match, how would one get to it?

I've only ever had the Ten Year one

I can't afford to actually buy my own Whisky atm, so I rely on what's given to me.

Charlie, if you want to come to the match, I may be able to organise a lift there and back, from Clontarf.

Seems to be only about 8 euro more on Celticwhiskeyshop.com.

Maybe I should get one of each .

For experimental purposes naturally.

When does your league finish? I was actually going to ask you if you have a league after Christmas you would be looking for players for. Wouldnt mind getting back into football.

Never heard of either.

I like 90 Shilling or 5 Barrell. We have alot of microbreweries here though.

I presume that's what the PM was about so. Would it be doable coming from town? I was thinking of suggesting to Al and Neil to meetup for a few pints before hand and then jog on out to watch yis.

Oh, and in a pub that doesn't stock any "weird" beers, Smithwick's with a Guinness head is a must.

I'm always wary of ordering that though, most bar-staff these days haven't half a notion of how to do it properly.

When drinking out I tend to stick mainly to the Weißbier, tend's to be easier to find. plus i find the ale gives me ridiculously bad hangovers compared to the Weißbier.

Still, it ticks me off no end how hard it can be to find a decent Pint on a night out. it's easier to get the 'weird beers' in Galway than Dublin i find.

The Ten Year 40% and the Ten Year 48% would be similar, if you are getting two, get the Quarter Cask 48% and the Ten Year 40% would be my advice.

then invite me round to sample the Quarter Cask

We finish up end of Feb, then the summer league will kick off in around March, we'll have a pre-season with friendlies, I'll let you know then.

You should keep an eye on our weekly match threads too, we might need extra legs some weeks, even with a squad of 20 plus, we can be a little short.

Don't bleedin start me on that.

My local, Harry Byrne's (charlie, do you ever drink there?) has proper barstaff.

Not much of a fan tbh

Porterhouse, Bull & Castle, Messrs and The Gingerman are the only pubs I know of in dublin that stock the non-big-name beers on tap.

I don't, actually never have tbh. Not really near my side of Clontarf. The Sheds on Vernon Ave. now that's a proper pub, and by extension, my local.

What's a lad from the 'Lock doing calling HB's his local.

Charlie

I always chuckle heartily when I hear Beer drinkers bemoan the lack of choice when out in Dublin. Try being a Cider drinker. It's Bulmers or....................

Haha, my bro orders that and he always complains that they never do it right. He asks them to push the handle back for a second and they always seem to pull it forward. He goes nuts

The choice in The Lock.

1. The Sheaf
2. Kyles
3. The Blacker
4. The A-Wan
5. The Rec.
6. The Roundabout
7. The Goblet

hmm

Kyles does a decent pint, but is real regular old men only.

Goblet used to be decent, but went severely downhill.

The rest can stuff themselves. Full of skobes.

Can't beat a good dry cider, t'is why I love getting over to Newcastle. The U.S and Canada actually do some savage ciders. Mainly 8%, and go down a threat.

Fcuking Cashel's, absolute rank stuff. Hudson, from a can anyway, ain't to bad. But some places took the absolute piss when they charged Bulmers prices for Cashel's and HB. It would be like a Beer drinker paying 5.50 for a pint of Dutchie.

I always find putting a drop of blackcurrant in any cider can make it relatively tolerable, no matter how cheap or skanky it is.

Jaysis lads, really get comfy here and not sure whether I want to trek back into town, to Cafe en Seine of all places.

There's a couple of nice pubs down here, The Franciscan well being my favourite.

Thats generally what I go for if we go to festivals or big all weekend drinking sessions.
Case of Tuborg + Case of Stonehouse + Bottle of blackcurrant.

heh, understandable. I guess they don't have as full a taste. My love of them comes from a stopover in Frankfurt on the way back from Oz. jet lagged, travel weary, straight to the bar for the first fag in near a day and a beer, the much needed R&R before the last leg. Heaven.
