Scotland v Ireland?

Considering the demand there will be for that one, you could try asking Etisalat to install a TV screen in a phone box somewhere near you.

Scotland are one of the very few rugby-playing nations that can safely be watched on teletext.

Enjoy being pounded by the paddies....
Spent so much time in The Tavern, I was hoping for a different venue for the evening. And, preferably, a Paddy-less bar in case a sharp exit is required!!!!

This probably from someone who gets on their high horse about the supposed Sassenach Bashing that is viewed as a National sport on Gods side of Hadrains wall!!!

Of course........

More specifically, I reckon we are about even in one important respect - you probably can't fathom why Mike Catt won 50 caps for England (neither can I), while EVERY Englishman is bewildered as to how Kenny Logan won 50 caps for Scotland......

Mind you, that has nothing, ABSOLUTELY nothing, to do with jealous envy and bitterness at the way he pulled that stunner of a wife........

LOL. Well avoid PJ's, then - it's an "Irish" bar....

Heroes (Crowne Plaza) or NRG (Le Meridien) are your best bets... I imagine Heroes will be the popular choice.

Might just go to PJ's and sit quietly, covered up till the final whistle and, should the Good Lord rain his benevolence on his favoured people, whip off the jacket and bask in the glory of a Scotland win!!
