Guinness is as good as you'll get it in London. 

That's a good boozer alright.

Only the food. I think it gets under your skin and you feel you have to love it, but it is an awful place to live. Absolutely no quality of life, unless you are loaded, and you become one of those ****s rushing everywhere and going nowhere. Lovely to go to for a day, but it is a great feeling getting on the train home.

They would fight each other on the rafters of the away stand at the Oval, and sometimes conduct mass punch-ups on the actual field there and at Windsor. Darwin would have nodded approvingly.

Went to the oval way back in 2001 or so to watch Newry in the Irish cup. They weren't too welcoming then as we had the window of the supporters bus put through on the way out LOL

Probably a lot better now, and it is a proper old school ground.

yeah the oval is a quality ground. Went there with a few on here with cliftonville. Get there before it's tossed! Cliftonvilles is pretty cool. Was in Windsor over the summer with Harps for a bizarre friendly. Thought the area would be a sh*thole and their fans knuckle draggers but opposite in both fronts. . They were hospitable and didn't mind my northmen southmen comrades all flag....we played a fans game in dundela.was a cool little ground and they were hospitable after. We did feel awkward when someone came in collecting for the orange order. Time to go then!

Linfield much less welcoming to away fans I thought but the cops up there had it nailed down , very good could teach our lot a lesson on crowd control.windsor as a neutral was fine though, as was the oval. Cliftonville was ok too, just had trouble avoiding all the Rofuss tramps they attract, put me right off that did lol.

Yeah, did Windsor for the Setanta Cup game but never been to the Oval, would like to visit it.
