Because they think they're more sophisticated and cultured than the rest of us the same as the lads telling us that popular music is not real music. |

Irish bars are a good focal point for meeting up whether you first move abroad (meet people from home who may offer tips/contacts for work) or just a handy spot for the first night at an away match.
The night before and off the games is the best craic at aways but it's nice to break away from the crowd too and stay a couple of nights in another city. I do regret not having the energy to see the more historical sites/museums sightseeing of the city where Ireland may be playing I'm usually too hungover to do anything on these trips when you're boozing with the rest of the fans. Football trips are generally piss ups anyway compared to your other holidays that you take where you do more activities. Edited by irishmufc - 29 Jul 2015 at 5:25pm |

There's Irish pubs in Ireland, well anywhere outside of Temple Bar.

I go away to watch football not experience new cultures. And I don't know how much culture you are going to experience sitting in a Georgian or Macedonian bar |

The point of a trip to me is to see the game and fit in as much sightseeing as possible, we're there for just a few days in many cases, some we may never see again. There are places though like Bratislava, Skopje, and Sofia where with the best will in the world, sightseeing is limited, so the pub may be the "highlight" of the time we're there.

That was a great craic & if we make it to Tbilisi again, would head in that direction. As regards the original post, I wouldn't really give a sh*te one way or another, if I go to a pub, whether it is Irish or local, and there is a bit of craic in it, I'll stay, if not, I'll move on. Didn't like the Hangar in Tbilisi at all & really only hit it around 5am on the way home from elsewhere, but McClarens was a great spot, particularly the first few nights when there was very few Irish about (or at least there wasn't til 9F & the Saint & crew showed up ) In Glasgow, we found an underground student/indie type bar that there was absolutely no Irish in, and had a great laugh in there, equally though, Campus was full of Irish & Scots & had a laugh there as well. Wouldn't give a sh*te what others get up to, there are lads that go to their hotel & stay in the hotel bar for the duration only to leave for the game, and while I think that is a waste, best of luck to them if they enjoy it, each to their own. Know of a fella who has been to Moscow twice & never saw Red Square for example. |

The Garage? That was a great spot. My train was 5 hours delayed and I was stuck in Newcastle with a bunch of lads from Drogheda I'd never met Didn't get to meet any of the YBIG lads as a result but when you're on your own like I am for games, the Irish bars are the best source for finding people. Get mingling and 2 hours later I'm nightclubbing with a bunch of Irish lads I've never seen before

I admit I did it in Cardiff though! Was my first game going solo so I was too nervous to talk to anyone in O'Neills etc so I went off nightclubbing by myself
