Do any of the posters on here know the name of the Man City pub that is near the bus station in Cork?

Cant think of the name of it - thanks in advance

Hi Scoobie,
I’m living in Cork 14 years and it's always a challenge getting an atmosphere for an England game. However, I generally watch the match with a couple of other English guys and you’re welcome to join us. The more the merrier. Don't be concerned about wearing the England shirt, I'm sure you will be fine; thankfully the one's that take exception are a small percentage of Cork's population. In general Cork is a really great place to live, you’ve chosen well.

This may be asking for trouble but I'm moving to Cork at the beginning of June and being English, I'm a bit gutted that I'm gonna be away from UK pubs during the Euros. Is there any "safe" pub in Cork where I can where my English jersey and shout loudly at the tele while England lose on penalties?
I googled "England supporters club Cork" and while there is one in Dublin there's not in Cork.
Is this a ridiculous request? Are there any other brits in Cork who want to meet up and blame Frank Lampard together?
Cheers

What's the difference between watching England lose in an Irish bar, and watching England lose in an English one?

There's a Chelsea supporters bar on Leitrim street, good chance it would be full of ex-pats,
can't imagine there being many native Chelsea supporters here over the age of 15

Never been in there myself so can't vouch for the place
nearly went for the first Napoli match with two lads from Naples and a few other of their Italian friends

Christ they had a lucky escape! I can't imagine Napoli or any opposition fans getting a warm reception in that particular haunt!


As for the OP, don't be afraid to wear your England jersey, vast majority of people won't give a damn and why should they. If a scumbag gives you hassle just ask him where is his liverpool/man utd shirt! Or better still, kick him in the balls.

I've worn my England jersey in the Bodega, The Rob Roy, An Brog and probably a few others. You get a few stink eyes alright but mostly people don't care. It's the group of 15 year old wah kids wearing tracksuits that you'd want to give a wide berth.

Another side effect of the jersey is every 2nd prick telling you why we're sh*t but as a Spurs jersey wearer too I'm pretty used to it.

Mr Scoobie

I thought I'd leave some feedback after watching the England France game for any future readers of the thread. I went to Reardens? (definitely spelt wrong) because it had a Euro poster the size of the building outside but it was really really empty, two people in there and one of them was getting paid.

Abandoned ship and went to the woolshed, mobbed, admittedly mostly french, from apple apparently, but plenty of England fans and shirts too, lots of chatting, lots of shouting.

good food and jugs of (bad) beer for under a tenner. Hopefully it will be that busy for the rest of the games.

Was anyone somewhere better?

How big was the jug? And did you see the prices of any of the other beers?

It looks like a good place, but I looked at the prices online - they didn't have the drafts up, but most bottles were a fiver and 500ml/pint bottles were about €6-€7!

I was in there for the Holland v Denmark match and it was busy, good atmosphere. Was packed for the Ireland match.

I normally drink pints of Smithwicks in the Woolshed, cos it's good there. And it's only €3.90 a pint. They are also doing a loyalty card thing at the moment where you get a stamp for every pint you buy and get one free after 10.

Another positive is that they have some cracking barmaids

I personally wud shout for England myself after Ireland of course.I I was supporting them last monday against the french frogs and the fact im a big arsenal fan means ive a big interest in seeing Alex chamberlain and theo walcott play well. The days are well gone apart from a small minority of small minded idiots to hate england even thoug they walk around in premiership jerseys every other day!
