Traditions have to start somewhere and so Football Saturdays at “The Bar with No Name“, started here four weeks ago.
Better known to the locals as “Nimeta Baar“, it serve the excellent A La Coq beer at €2.20, while the food is relatively inexpensive, quickly served and it's taste would rival pub grub anywhere
Every Saturday afternoon, I found myself in this watering hole watching a premiership match surrounded by a bunch of lads over here on a stag night. Some wearing Liverpool or United jerseys, others nursing hangovers, with most making some attempt to chat up the numerous barmaids. But with little success..
With the two hour time difference between here and Ireland, the first game kicks of at 5:00 and a second at 7:00. The odd thing is that back in Dublin I`d rarely watch a match. but over here it makes the weekend stand out and off course it an opportunity to mix ever so slightly with the locals.
Tomorrows match is West Ham Vs Mboro, hardly a clash of titans, but I`ll be happy with a 5 - 4 win for the Hammers, along with a glass or two of the local brew in the presence of wonderful company (yes thats my Valentine in the picture).
