Where do the Dublin Villans gather to watch the game?

I'm guessing Dublin.
Do I win a prize? ;)

Lol. No.

As a random guess .... in front of a tv in a pub.
-
Think we watched a Villa game in bar called Sinnots which seemed to have every sporting event in the world on at the same time.

Irish Lions meet in Buskers on the Ball on fleet street in temple bar I believe. The downside is that it is in temple bar, which is basically broad street with more tourists.
-
Head for the Irish bar.

Thanks Ger, I can put up with that for a couple of hours. (Temple Bar that is, not Broad Street).

That made me chuckle

Recommended, I've been a couple of times. Had a couple of hundred there for the playoff final.

Thought it was Murrays at the bottom (top?) of O'Connell St? Or was anyway.

It was about 6-7 years ago

It's not bad in there at all. You might get given a card to get discounted drinks and there's free grub at half time (well, there was when we went). The chap who runs it, Philip is a jolly decent bloke. Have a good day.

Nice one. Valentines/wifey’s birthday trip, Friday to Monday, plenty of time for romance, paying homage to 1916, and football. It’s fine though, she’s Villa as as well.

Saw us beat Blose 1-0 away (Gabby) in there. Cracking atmosphere. My wife, a lapsed Nose, was not amused.

Any Villains in Amsterdam for the match? I am at a 50th birthday weekend and need to find somewhere to watch it...

I never make it because of busy family stuff when I'm over there but my cousin in Dublin has tried a few times to get me tickets to Kilmainham. Apparently it's a brilliant tour - if you can take the anti English rhetoric.

Haha, whoops!

Kilmainham tour is really good, from memory I didn't think the rhetoric was particularly anti-English, it was telling it as it was without dramatics.
-
Excellent is the word I'd use for the tour of Kilmainham jail. A must-do for any visitor to Dublin if they have the time, you could be in there all day. Also, value for money*
* I don't know how much it is at present but it was €4 when we went, I'm sure it would be double that now.
-
Is Kilmainham where they filmed "The Italian Job" gaol scene with Noel Coward?

Three best tours I've ever done have been in jails. Kilmainham, Crumlin Road and Shrewsbury (this one was the best by a mile). The execution cell at Shrewsbury is also painted claret and blue in honour of the midlands finest

They're not as much fun when they're filled with inmates, I can tell you that.

"Inmates" They're call prisoners now!

Is it still ok to call them "badduns ?"

As ever, it depends who’s listening ;)

I already know all the words...
“God’s curse on you England
You cold-hearted monster”
-

Yes, the main staircase when Bridger (Noel Coward) descends to the acclaim of all the inmates after they hear the outcome of the heist is, imo, iconic.
-
M J O’Neills on Suffolk St is worth a visit for breakfast
-
The Confession Box is a decent boozer as well.
-
Followed by Zaytoon on Parliament St. for post-booze kebabs. All within spitting distance of each other. Bar Kilmainham, that is.
-
How was it then Percy? Hope the Irish Lions made you feel welcome.
-
He's probably still merry on the Liffey.

Or Temple Bar skinted him out and he couldnt afford to fly back.

Given the weather here last weekend he'll be lucky if his flight went ahead. A friend of mine was returning to London last Saturday and the plane sat on the runway for the best part of two hours before take-off so she told me. I know the wind was bad down here but didn't hear anything untoward about Dublin until that. I hope he managed to get over.
