Good afternoon.
Shamrock Rovers away it is then and a small but hardy gang of Lillywhites will be braving airports various and venturing towards a destination the natives call… Tallaghtfornia.
Dublin has considerable charms but these have been tarnished somewhat by the phenomenal financial drain of the city even to a visitor attempting to keep to the most modest of budgets.
I used to live there and am a frequent visitor to this day, so there’s no malice from me just based upon a long weekend that went wrong. It’s horrifically expensive across the board.
You’re all adults and getting to the stadium is your own business – but on taxis – should you step into one, make sure that you know where you are going. A considerable percentage of city center taxi men are, shall we say, not Irish. So if you know the postcode of your destination, I’d humbly suggest you have it to hand for the old Sat Nav.
Pre and post the game you may wish to seek out something to eat and drink. I would recommend Zaytoon which has branches both in Lr Camden St and Parliament St. Rotten for vegetarians I’m afraid, but super reliable high class Persian kebabs fare. Not cheap, but bloody nice and you can sit down in decent surroundings.
Temple Bar is rubbish. If you haven’t experienced it and wish to enjoy it’s many splendid ‘things’ then I shan’t even attempt to coax you round. Good luck, God bless.
Not too far across town however is Dawson Street where Cafe En Seine and Samsara lay in wait. These two gems are not only nice buildings to be in but actually populated by decent local types. There’s a pair of really good food options in this road too.
For Pizza, Milano is essentially Pizza Express by another moniker and if you want something very very nice indeed, then look no further than Fire at The Mansion House which more or less is opposite the bars previously listed.
If you need use of an Internet cafe, their are a good few as one would expect in a city center, the arguably most central is Global on O’Connell Street.
Aside from make sure that you wear clean pants in case you get case run over, I think that’s it. Hopefully it’s of some small use. Of course, it would be better if readers were to add their own thoughts.
BIOYSRC!
if pat is short for patrick , is mick short for mickrick
H ,I havent heard the line ,make sure you got clean pants on ,you never know you might be in an accident.Since my mum said that to me about45 years ago.arf arf :daumen:
Uncle here
May I pose this question to the Spurs faithfull.
Realisticaly…with £6 million a year on offer ….who the hell is going to replace HR?
Make no mistake he will go just as he has left every other previous post for finacial gain?
Any one worried?
I’m more worried that we might have a repeat of last season, this season.
I see BMJ is still making the same mistakes as he did with us, so it won’t be him.
Ancelotti for me.
Agreed Carlo Ancelotti would be the best option. Does that mean Ray Wilkins comes along with him?Hiddinck is the best coach but doubt he would come to WHL. If not Ancelotti then possibly David Moyes. Others worth an honourable mention though the Spurs job would be too big and too soon for them… Paul Lambert, Brendan Rodgers and Nigel Adkins. All 3 have done triffic jobs with current clubs and all 3 have great potential to move on to bigger things.
Two good signings this January; a replacement for Ade in the summer.
Then we should ring Steve Bruce….. and ask him if he could recommend a good manager.
Nice one Centurion…like it like it!!
Two signings in January, would be great if we could get Jan Vertonghen from Ajax and either Damaio or Llorente then offload Pav, Corlucka, Bassong and Gio. That would be quite some going in the January window but here`s hoping.
Been here since yesterday. Get the tram to the match. €5 a pint not the €8 the doom mongers were forecating.The ferryman on the Liffey by Sam Beckett bridge.fantastic black stuff. Temple bar fine for few beers and some music even saw the fulham game. Now about this pre season friendly tonight…….
It’s no dearer than London, and the tram’s fine for getting about, also it’s a damned site safer than Tottenham that’s for sure!
