You should have went to uisce beatha. Its a small Irish bar arond the corner run by a Wexford fella. Sound guy.

Bratislava is a great City  but The Dubliner is a no go. Its treble the price compared to local bars aswell.

Bratislava was grand the last time we were there so I wouldn't tarnish all Slovakian with the same brush as the absolute scum bouncers inside and outside the Dubliner.

Even the time we were there for the double header we drank in a bar which was full of Slovakians who looked rough as f**k and we had a ball .

My lad who 19 was just up singing on a chair as you may do and bit of hsarmless song sl*gging between group of irish and english lads during scotland/english match. Was all bit of crack with no one offended. Bouncers asked us chill out which we did. Then half hour later my lad chanced his arm got up again n started to sing. 3 big gorrillas came over said your leaving so we grabbed our gear n headed for door. As my son was going out door he was pushed from behind by bouncer onto path outside. I challenged him n said give it up we didnt want hassle. He then punched me in head and eye.  Result sore head and black eye. I NEVER look for trouble and first time in about 40 away matches have had any hassle. Im still pissed off but the 3 points from Sat night made trip worth it. Dubliner Bratislava Bouncers = Absolute Scum. Ps GUFC thanks for heads up but like other lads I didnt see it

For a man that has gone to so many away games when you're told once in these places that should be enough. It's not Ireland where you might get away with it.

Doesn't justify what those thugs did either.

My mate made the mistake of getting thick with a bouncer in Riga the night before we went to Georgia game. My mate was locked and was no threat just mouthing off like you might over here when you're kicked out.

My mate was no threat to him and I was standing in between them. The bouncer came up right behind me and gave him a sickening punch right across the jaw. He flew back and whacked his head off the ground.Myself and my other mate dragged him away as these lads would have killed us.

Moral of the story is the don't mess around in these places and once they warn you, I'd take their advice tbh.

We had less than 500 in Georgia last time. Had the guts of 650 in Serbia and a surprisingly same if a little bit more in number in Moldova.

Would be nice if we got more in Georgia next year. Regardless of our home results against Wales & Austria, it's one of these places it'll be hard to attract more than 500+ support out there.

We got a bit of hassle there in 2013 last time we played Austria, the whole stretch there is corrupt as f**k run by the mafia.

Place directly across the from the Dubliner was the worst, we went around for Breakfast one morning... Your man basically dragged us in the door when we were looking at the menus outside. They had what we wanted anyway so we settled there...

We ordered grub and a round of pints... Your man bring us the pints and a round of shots 'on the house' ...we didnt want them at 10am, hungover t'f**k, trying to get our heads straight for the train journey in an hour. We knocked them back and said cheers anyway.

Meals come, he does the same again. Another round of shots on a tray poured out. Half of us drink these, the other half couldn't stomach it.

We finish our grub again and he tries to pull the same sh*t. We told him no, please leave us alone to finish food, we appreciate it, but we have to get on our way.

We notice 2 heavies come in the door, staring us out of it then talking to your man.

We ask for the bill and hes having none of it. We push that we've a train to catch in 15mins and he eventually talllies everything up. Hes put the 3 round of shots on it, 2 of which we drank.

We didnt want any trouble and just paid up, it was only something like an extra 3quid a head. But he shook an extra 30quid from us. Something he prob would have got off us through another round of beers and tips had he just been sound!

Yes, I Google every pub and restaurant before I enter it and read every page of ybig to see what potential danger awaits me, amazed everyone else doesn't go the same
