HartyfaeLarbert Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Can only echo what everyone's saying - top trip and the Irish were superb hosts. The craic, warmth and friendliness throughout the weekend was first class and I hope to revisit Dublin and other parts of the country in the future. Four of us were staying in apartment above a pub - fantastic in itself - about 15 minutes walk from Temple Bar. We were the only Scots in the place all weekend as it was a bit out of the way but everyone in there, from the landlord and staff to the regulars, couldn't have been more welcoming to us. The banter we had with them was a real highlight. Mixing with the home fans before and after the game was great fun too but another highlight for me was a walking tour we went on on Sunday. Led by students, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and full of humour as you'd expect. A great way to spend 2-3 hours and find out a bit more about Dublin and Ireland's history. Was absolutely burst yesterday - an early flight to Glasgow and the amount of Guinness consumed over the three days did me in! Superb trip overall though. Loved it.

Parklife Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If we don't qualify I might just travel over for a game or two and wear a Scottish jersey. If you're going to glory-hunt, follow a better team. It's fecking shite supporting Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Paisley Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It was one of those trips where I wished I could have spent just one more night in Dublin. Mind you my liver was saying no! Must admit I found it hard to drag myself out of Fitzgerald's on Sunday afternoon and head for the bus for the airport. That's the sign of a bloody great trip.

LondonScottish Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Absolutely magic time in Ireland; from Slatterys on Friday to the wee sma' hours in the Harcourt Hotel after the match. Every Irish supporter was welcoming and every Scot I met was up for it. What a weekend. Thanks Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBoysinGreen Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ah right. That's true to be fair. If there was a referendum here with the question 'Would you like to see Ireland in the United Kingdom?' I genuinely think around 99% of voters would vote no.

TheBoysinGreen Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Without dragging this thread off topic I am somewhat glad we're not a divided country like Scotland or Northern Ireland. I can't fathom what it must be like to know half the population think they're something else. But in saying that - the amount of English i've come across who think Ireland is in the United Kingdom is ridiculous. Very annoying.

A large percentage of the population of differing sexual orientations. A large percentage of the population believe in some form of God. It's not essential to define ourselves by whether we believe in independence or not. I know many people who voted No. That in itself does not devalue their character or make me think less of them.

Partitionist talk like that from an Irish man is much more annoying that the ignorance of some English boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
