Do we think Enda will get a game, or is Lambert not as sappy enough to do that for a member of the Bomb squad?

Just a question. Are any Irish tv channels picking this game up at all ? If so i will go to an Irish bar and watch it over here. They have all the Irish de-coder boxes and can pick up every channel.
Have a great trip anybody who is going.

Very unlikely to be on tv, this is the time of year when gaelic games (the two national sports) are reaching the quarter finals stage, and they always televise these on sundays. That said, if you've never seen a game of hurling before, then I would strongly recommend you go and watch one. The best description I've heard of it is that it's a cross between hockey and 2nd degree murder.

I'll be going to the game, have a ticket for the east stand (unfortunately the main stand was sold out), doubt i'll be heading to murray's as it's a bit of a shitbox. If anyone wants recommendations for decent boozers just send me a PM and I'll do my best to help.

Would anyone travelling over tomorrow please be kind enough to indicate whether they have any intentions of being in Murray's tomorrow night? I intend to be there but don' t wish to be sat there like a lemon.  Ta.

I'm going and will be in the Main Stand.
No boozing for me though as I have to drive back to Cork straight after the game.
We will win this one.
1-4.

This must be the only match ever where Kieren Clarke is our poster boy.

It beats Mark Kinsella who I think was on the cover of the programme for the pre-season tournament in Dublin that we played in just after O'Leary was appointed.

We're flying over Sunday morning. Should be a good day if last time was anything to go by.

is it too much to ask for two clean sheets in a row?

Ah fuck it 3-0 Villa, Benteke, Weimann and Tony Moon

3-1 Villa, but it would be nice to have another clean sheet and Okores to play.
