Now that's a horrific tackle, wel attempt of a tackle. :eek:

Ronaldhino can count himself very lucky he avoided an injury.

Kerrigooney

Christ almighty. That was savagely bad. I cringed when I saw it.

England U-21 are playing at Adams Park on March 21st. Would have loved to go down and watch it, only a couple of miles from my house, but I'm in a production of Les Miserables that day so will be busy. Damn.

Could have done some Zaha scouting for us United fans! You playing music or in the play itself?

In it, though I may have been in the orchestra if I wasn't.

You sing as well? Hopefully better than Russell Crowe! What character you playing?

His performance is always a bit...WOODEN :D

I played one of Fagins gang when we did Oliver Twist in school. Most memorable moment was someone forgot to turn Fagins microphone off when he was backstage, and we were playing bop it, which is what everyone could hear for about 10 seconds

I must be getting old, but I rarely enjoy nightclubs at all. Find coppers too busy tbh.

Professional Griefer

Don't like nightclubs either. Late bars are much better, with that said, I live in Cork, so the nightlife isn't great in anyways.

Just finished season 1 of Suits as well, thank you to everyone who suggested it. Its so good.

Browery was good the time I was there. Cork is crap for guys though in groups cause they stop you for stupid things.

As for Dublin there must be at least 100 places better to out then Coppers. It's meat mart and worse when not drinking.

A fella the age of our resident Beleiber though, that's what he's after, expensive vodka & redbull ripoff, Smithwicks drinking strapping lasses, bit of Richie Kavanagh and a ride at the end of the night - what's not to like about Coppers for the 18-22 age group?

I know, but still its a dive. Plenty of other decent spots that cater for what's required for your night.

Dublin has some good spots if you can look away from Camden and Hardcourt street from time to time. Be 20 year old or 40.

I liked Whelans but that's cause they had decent bands here and there. Bleeding Horse is only place we go around there now and move on after that.

Lovely Bloke

Madonna's for the muthafúckin win

GLaDOS

Never liked clubs, and I'm only 22

Favourite spot at the moment would be Against The Grain. Great beer selection and a nice atmosphere. Finishes up early enough though.

Ended up in the Foundry in Carlow one night recently, had a savage good night. It was about 5 years since i'd been in it.

I've always been a fan of Whelans always good atmosphere in the place.

Temple Bar although a tourist trap and mad money can be good craic at times for a pub crawl or in around Temple Bar places like Foggy Dew and in around Dame Lane.

Howl at the Moon is decent enough aswell imo

Foggy Dew is great spot alright.

Some good pubs in Temple Bar. Problem is price of Drink. 6euro for pint of stout? Ouch!!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Flannery's and Coppers ftw. If you're a student then places like Dandelion, Village and Palace. I hate Temple Bar, full of tourists and it's pricey as fcuk.

Don't know where you are based, but you're a Bohs fan, yes?

Have you tried WJ Kavanagh's on Dorset St, L Mulligan Grocer in Stoneybatter? Two great pubs.

I had my stag in ATG this time last year.

Paul Tergat

ATG is pretty cool alright, liked it when it was feile too

Will probably be in flannerys myself on friday with work people - standard stuff

Yeah I am, live in Santry so Stoneybatter's a bit out of the way. Haven't tried Kavanagh's but I've heard good things, will check it out at some point.

Porterhouse is going into Coolock Village, The Sheaf, probably open by the end of April.

Moving from Santry to drumcondra in the next week or two, making the porterhouse my new local! Close enough to walk home now instead of having to get a taxi or bus!

Excellent spot. My college is 10 seconds walk from Camden St. I typically end up there or Anseo. Anywhere but Flannerys.:eek:

You'll also be pretty near WJK on Dorset Street, if you fancy something different from the PHN.

The_Kew_Tour

Some good pubs around Drumcondra and Northside in general if you know where to go.

Anseo is great but it's always too packed at weekend though.

On the subject of pubs lads, Im heading to a gig in the Olympia tomorrow night. Anywhere decent nearby? I intend to be well inebriated, and when I'm like that, I love the most mainstream shíte music possible.

Only living in Dublin a couple of months and haven't ventured further than Slatterys, which is right on my doorstep.

If your going to Olympia and looking for a pub before hand? You can't go wrong with the Foggy Dew or Brogans but really around the Olympia you are spoiled for choice. Or if after and you like shiite mainstream music then you will probably like somewhere like Alchemy.

Eh and this don't watch if you are anyway squeamish. Ouch.

Bull and Castle up by Christchurch, German style beerhall that serves beer by the liter. Only about a 5 minute downhill stumble from the Olympia too.

Stereophonics gig I'm guessing?

Been out in Carlow a few times and it's a great spot. First time was a disaster though, myself and a mate went down earlier than the rest, got off at the bus depot with a bottle of vodka each at 2pm, met up with another mate who lives there, 3 of us locked up in the cells by 8...

There was another club called The Edge that I found better than The Foundry, don't know if it's still open but that was a decent place.

Cans and a fire down by the river Barrow with a load of randomers was better than both tbh :pac:
