ONL there's a couple of Irish bars in Ayia Napa tp watch the game. The one we were in to watch the games a couple of years ago was Shamrock Bar.

Now I'm heading away to the Algarve to Praja de Procia (SP). Any ideas for there?

ANyway there will be no prblem for watching matches there, at elast there wasn't when I was there twice, about five and four years ago. Had a choice of bars, cant remember exact names but they are all on te main strip of bars ya can just walk along and pick.

I always have a look at www.celticbars.com when I'm going abroad if there's a match I want to see.  Gives you a list of bars with Setanta as well that aren't Irish bars but might show the football if you ask them.  All the RTE games seem to be shown on Setanta 2 this season so any half-decent Irish bar should have them on!

Watched a game in Ayia Napa a few years back, think it was O'Rourkes.  Also Man of Aran in Paria da Rocha.  could both be closed now - dont be getting abroad much now with 3 young uns under 5. :(
