Green_Tide_Rising Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Stella's the best Mick Jagger on the go (as long as you don't batter the wife when you get home!). Lets just say , its an acquired taste :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Stella's the best Mick Jagger on the go (as long as you don't batter the wife when you get home!). Socially acceptable in the 80's as was drink driving. How far we have evolved as a society! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Stella's the best Mick Jagger on the go (as long as you don't batter the wife when you get home!).I honestly cannot remember ever, ever going into a pub and ordering a pint of Nelson Mandela.Even as a jakey, drink anything teenager I steered clear. I drank it at home as my Dad drank it at the time and I always pinched a few cans off of him. My favourite lager drinking stages were:- 16-19 - Fosters 20-25 - Budwieser (or failing that Heineken) 25-now - Becks Vier These were always the cans I bought (and still do). Cider has slipped into sessions recently (living in the Westcountry it's hard not to). Especially a day out at the rugby.

The Beer King Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Stella is the Special Brew of modern times. Drink Guinness you will be in Ireland after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Stella is the Special Brew of modern times. Drink Guinness you will be in Ireland after all I was reading they're going to lower the strength of Special Brew, much to the annoyance of jakies everywhere.

Newryrep Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Problem with draft stella in Dublin is a. not many places do it and b, if they do it they need to do a run on it. Bruxelles and the church do pretty decent draft as they are usually busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm 1980 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Harp Lager used to be popular in Ireland, never seen it in years. I reckon there will be 8000 Scots in the stadium and about 12000 will make the trip. Ferry Cairnryan 7.30, Greyhounds Harrolds Cross Friday night, then see where we go from there.

SheepieTartanArmy Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Just looked up that Harolds cross, 15 minute bus journey from trinity college sounds like a cracking way to spend the Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Any idea when home end tickets will go on sale? Ticketmaster? Dont know if this is true but i heard the irish fa are trying to sellas many three match packages as possible to deter us buying all their home end tickets. Ideal scenario for ticket touts who i imagine will cash in big time when we visit in june. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc1987 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 i worked in dublin and was over when a Poland vs ROI friendly was on and over 20,000 poles there so selling match package for games with us and them wouldnt be hard shifting the remainders on to touts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
