Ireland v France - Melbourne

dave_t

It's on Hardware St. just off Lonsdale St. There should be a good crowd 'cause they said they wouldn't open unless they had a lot of interest. Said they needed interest from 30+ people before they would.

so whats the verdict, Puggs or Barkleys?

I'll be going to Puggs anyway because they've got a license to sell alcohol. Barklys won't be selling it until the match is over.

Dave_Hal

I reckon Puggs myself...ill be there with the brother

The_B_Man

Puggs it is so. Impromptu boards beers! What time we all arrivin at puggs? Will trams be goin that early?

dave_t

It's going to be a nervy game. I'm looking forward to it but I'm not. Come on the lads!!!!

Irishjer

Hi lads, was on to pugg mahones and they are showing it. They can serve booze too.

Dave_Hal

Trams start at 7 on Sundays (for me anyway)....best bet to order a taxi so you dont end up missing the start/coverage and all the fun stuff...taxi number is 131008 if anyone wants it...

Yeah im fairly dodge aswell about the game too, few nice 7am pints though should calm the nerves...hopefully word spreads about Puggs now cos would be some craic if we had a crowd...prob end up being a session anyway

The_B_Man

Its 5 dollars in but should be a good crowd. Plan at moment is go to work after it but if they win , it will be a days drinking ahead

toffeeforever

was there many in puggs for the game on sunday morning and what was atmosphere like? i stayed in st kilda for it

dave_t

The atmosphere was good and there was loads there for it. Puggs said they'll open on Thursday so I'm thinking of going there. Ended up on a day long session after it. Good laugh

toffeeforever

Yeah puggs sounds good. They are all pretty close to my work so thats perfect! Here's hoping for an all day session

The_B_Man

The Celtic club is open too. I'll prob be there. im in work for 9 so wont be drinkin and its handy for me coz i work just off collins st.

Hey Dave_t, did u end up in bev and micks?

No, just ended up going to a few pubs around town. Was there something on in Bev and Micks?

The_B_Man

ye i ended up headin there with that french bloke and a few other blokes who i thought were off boards! lol they were obviously just randomers though.

went there and then i ended up goin to the quiet man with a cupla mates.

seanie_k

Hows it going boys and girls, im new to this boards thing. Where does everyone think will be the best place to watch the match on thursday? i didnt see the last game, just watching updates on rte.ie which wasnt much fun. Puggs sounds like good craic, i never been there before.

toffeeforever

Hi Seanie,

Seems like everybody is aiming for either pugg mahones or celtic club

Puggs

or Celtic Club
http://www.celticclub.com.au
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&source=hp&q=320%20Queen%20Street&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

As you can see both pubs are very close to each other and the Celtic Club is 5 dollars entry.

B_Man would Puggs not be closer to colins street? Anyway I think we should all decide on a venue and go there to get the best possible atmosphere. Being a cheap skate ill go Puggs as no door fee!

Im due to work after it but if Ireland book a place in South Africa I dont think Ill be able to leave the sweet sweet beer. Anyone want to pretend to be my mammy and ring in work for me???

The_B_Man

lol ^^

Ye well i'll go where the crowds are. i actually work on market st/collins st so that why i was sayin the celtic club. im pretty sure it is closer.

but look, if boards nominates puggs as the official pub, i'll be there. just wont be drinkin!

toffeeforever

Perfect. As I said both pubs are pretty close to each other so where ever everybody else goes, I will. May as well just hit one pub and get a great atmosphere there than spread out over a few pubs.

I have actually heard of a few other people talking about going to Celtic Club so maybe that would be a best venue. All infavour of celtic club say 'traps'

TRAPS

The_B_Man

hmm, jsut checked google maps there. Puggs is right beside the celtic club so i'll go to puggs. that way people can drink. might have one meself before work. only to either celebrate or drown me sorrows though!

can we have numbers here? at the moment its meself and toffee so that makes 2!
anyone else?

seanie_k

Im game where ever ye are going lads. I'll be going in on my todd cause my missus is aussie and dont think she'll fancy getting up at 6 in the morning to go to the pub and watch a match! so where ever ye decide on im up for it.
