Bring on the Summer

It's been a while since my last blog, I've had loads to say, but no time to say it! Last week we hosted FM 104's Strawberry Alarm Clock for their Champions League Final Party. I'm sure all the Liverpool fans were devastated. There was some rendition of You'll never walk alone at the end. For some pictures take a look at the Strawberry Alarm Clock Blog.

So with the conclusion of the season I'm at a loss at what to blog about for the next couple of months. Although we do have the All Ireland Championships underway. And what a cracker this weekend. The old rivals Dublin V Meath on Sunday. Anyone for bets on a replay????

It's a quiet enough summer in Dublin this year. There isn't as many concerts as there was last year. A City like Dublin needs events and big events. They're the lifeblood of a City. When there is a big event in Dublin the City comes alive for it. The buzz that is created is fantastic. As we all know the Irish love to party, not sure what we'll be partying for this summer.

Although I'm sure we'll find an excuse, we usually do. Sure, isn't it the bank holiday this weekend!!! Won't that do. See you all in Buskers. You know it's going to be great!

FA Cup Final

FA Cup final tomorrow. It's one of those special days in sport. Tomorrows match has a real grudge match element to it. Who'll come out top???? Utd. or Chelsea. Course I'll be watching it on our huge High Definition Screen. Will probably have a better view than most of the suckers in Wembley!!!

It's all over Now!

So that's the premiership decided for another year. In all fairness it was one of the most exciting in years. The Manchester Utd. V Chelsea saga has been enthralling. Even though the title is decided, this Wednesday night should make for an exciting game. Chelsea at home receiving the new champions. There is bound to be a few sparks flying!

I know over the last week the sparks have flown between the team here in Buskers. We have a hefty mix of Man Utd. and Liverpool supporters. So as you can imagine the slagging has been fierce. Although it was nothing compared to the abuse one poor Bar man got, a Leeds Utd. supporter.

It always amazes me the passion people have for sport. I think it's an Irish thing, a few weeks ago we were all watching cricket, before that it was Rugby. In the next few months our attention will move to GAA and the All Ireland Championship's. You name it and the Irish will watch it...... I'm still very tired after sitting up well past my bed time to watch John Higgins win the Snooker World Championships at The Crucible in Sheffield

On to the Final

Well, the dream final will have to wait. For people of my generation (don't ask!) a Liverpool and Manchester United Champions League (European Cup) Final would have been the ultimate. I remember a time when Liverpool won everything and Utd nothing. Still the prospect of a Milan Liverpool final is mouthwatering. Don't think anyone will leave the stadium or walk away from their TV's this time!!

AC Milan V Liverpool, last time out
