The Irish centre close to St James Park usually show the games if they are on live.

Cheap drink also.

Yeah watched a few games in the Irish centre, decent enough craic and close enough to the main going out area that you dont waste any time getting back into party mode

There will plenty if time on the Sunday. Boys will hardly want to travel far on Saturday.

You'll be lying in a heap in the corner as usual Minder so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

O'Neills did used to have RTE or Setanta, then the year I was there they didn't, not sure if its back now.  Irish Centre should show it.

All games are on in Britain- MSK Channel 433 (which is the RTE feed on Sky or the Ulster Championship games on BBC NI, which I think it 973 on Sky also

On Saturday night in Newcastle, watching grown men in shorts run after a ball will be the furthest thing from your mind, as it will on a glorious sunny sunday when said men how have sticks and helmets.

MSK is a setanta feed but its not live.

The Irish Centre's your best bet as has been said, not far down from St James Park. Recall being in it steaming, oul dolls buying pints for spewing out a few rebel songs. Functional. You don't want to spend a stag in the Irish centre though ffs.

Be careful of Newcastle girl(s) with a tattoo across their lower back that says "DON"
That's all I'll say.....
