Where To Watch Premier League Foolball?

Post by **JimmyGreaves** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 5:44 pm

Where can I watch premiership football in town. Needs to be a non-bar beer establishment as I am taking my daughter. No jibes please :-)

There are several beer bars where you can take you daughter as they don't have any hanky panky going on in them, for example: Jungle Juice, Johnnie Walkers, Sugarcane, Nervana etc. If these don't appeal to you, you can also go to Crawfords Irish pub.

Take Care

Might be run by Aussies, but Goanna's also shows the "soccer"......

I agree totally. Good venue and are all the venues that Bamboo Grove mentioned.

Don't expect anybody there to understand the rules though. I have been waiting six months for a rough guide to Ozzy Rules.

There is no establishment that I am aware of that is public and has UBC and no beer. There are plenty without girlies though.

Most seem to be Chelsea or Liverpool supporters (maybe a few Mankies and the odd Hampster). Arsenal supporters have to go and hide in some dingy extablisment to watch their team being consistently beaten by superior opposition and avoid the subsequent humiliation.

Rules, you want RULES????? Isn't enought that the law prevents actually

killing

each other. How many rules do you want????

We all get together and drink a lot after the match

although I'm not sure that is a rule, we still do it

Come and try it next season....

I guess its still impossible to watch the Championship? I'm over for a fortnight in March at just about the time we'll be getting promoted and it's lousy watching the games in an internet cafe. C'mon Reading.

Bearing in mind that you are descended from London pickpockets I am not surprised at that reply.

As for the piss up after a game I am sure that in OZ it is obligatory.

A friend of mine got stopped by the police after a game near Sydney and was breathalized. He got arrested and subsequently incarcerated becaue the red light did not come on.

Guess, there are few rules to Auusie Rules. If the ball goes between two centre posts you get 6 points, if the ball goes outside the two centre posts but inside the two outer posts you get one point. Other than that it is like grid iron with no padding.
I have been in Australia for 25years and the game now has been cleaned up a lot. There are not so many fights, if there are they all get fined and/or suspended (for a spectators point of view all the fun has been taken away from the game).
All in all it is not a bad game to watch, I am sure if you go to Goanna's when the league starts again in the new year, the guy that owns the place will explain all of the rules to you.

Dicks Office in Soi Hot Pot has a projector screen and would be ideal for you and daughter, not a hint of a BG.

Thanks JW. Checked Dicks Office out Yesterday. Exactly what I was looking for.

Cheers
