I didn't get much of a response when I asked during the week so thought I'd try again - anyone got the skinny on what's worth doing / avoiding while in Berlin? Leaving for four days and nights on Thursday

I was there for 2 days a few weeks ago, didn't get to do much in 2 days but saw enough to know it's a really cool city.

You should definitely hire a bike and cycle round the city (if possible do a cycling tour with a guide). All the sights are pretty spread out and there's loads of squares dotted round the city which act as focal points. The city's nice and flat so the cycling is dead handy and the German roads couldn't be more cycle-friendly. Definitely get in a guided tour at some stage because the amount of history in the city is ridic and cycling round without a guide you really miss out on a lot.

In terms of nightlife, I was in a few decent bars on Oranienburgerstrasse and the swanky expensive bars are up near Potsdamerplatz. A few friends of friends live over there so they were able to get a few of us into clubs on the second night but a lot of the clubs don't like letting in non-German speakers or non-regulars, as we found out on the first night when we had to abandon our club plans and head to bars instead. Find out which clubs are tourist-friendly before heading out (Tresur was a good spot for tourists to go supposedly, although I didn't go myself so don't blame me if it's shite).

Louth were robbed. Ref was shocking at the end.

Edit: Some Louth fans acting like scumbags though.

dont condone what the fans did in the slightest

The Ref??? How could the umpires miss that in fairness??

you have two umpires there. neither flagged the goal. yet you go talk to only 1 umpire for 5 seconds and give the goal!???

They hadn't raised the green flag until the ref went up and told them to award the goal. They should have been stronger obviously, but the ref just told them to award it it seems.

thats how i saw it too

Just back from the match - just wow. First of all I didnt see any attacks on the referee or stewards but I was going crazy at the time so Im not surprised I missed it.

Pure rollercoaster of emotion - It was hard to make out the scramble in the goal mouth at the end because we were so far away. We were desperate for someone to put the ball over the bar. Then its in the net and the hill erupts.

Next thing the referee is going in to talk to the umpire and the hill goes so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The time between the Ref going in to talk to the umpire and the awarding of the goal seemed like the longest 10 seconds of my life. Iv really found a new meaning to the term - the sweetest desperation in the world

AT the end of the day we robbed Louth - Im disgusted some of their supporters did that. But louth are known for it in fairness

To say louth are known for that is such a ignorant comment which i take alot of offence to. Unfort due to a few mindless thugs today i dont have much legs to stand on, but still think your out of order saying that.

So proud of how louth played today. Alot of very good club mates and friends on the team. They played their hearts out and didnt get over awed by the occasion. Shame not to put the game out of site with the many missed chances. The players and everyone involved have alot to be proud of.

Think the referee was very much in the wrong. Took a rash decision and in his haste to look authoritative he makes this decision without atleast taking the opinion of his two umpires who obviously were in a better position than he was.

Finally, what the supporters did to the ref was 100% out of order. Itll take the focus off what was and should be the only talking point of the game. Under no circumstances should it ever be acceptable to act like that no matter how hard done by a team is. In fairness to peter fitspatrick he tried to chase away the neanderthals also.

Gutted is the only word that springs to mind, wish i had been there - and feel rightfully proud of the guys on the pitch.

[Strewelpeter]

a v boring game of hurling.

You got a decent sweat for a while

Donal I know your heavily involved in Louth GAA so I apologise if I was offensive - that comment of mine was out of order and I realise that its only a small minority of louth supporters that behave this way. In my experience (Navan 2002 and the O byrne cup final this year there was similar scenes of attacking players)

However I was wrong to tar all Louth people with the same brush - I know players involved in the set up too and they are 100% sound

sorry for the comments

After watching the whole thing again,i think its fair to say the ref (and umpires) performed appalingly there. total injustice

[Bubbleking]

I was at the game so it was sometimes hard to see but my counter to saying Louth were robbed is Louth got At least 4 really soft frees in the 2nd half right in front of goals - again Im not saying this is right im just making the point that decisions tend to even themselves out

[pgodkin]

he is around so long. I remember Waterford playing Offaly in an U21 final many moons ago and Tony Browne and Brian Whelahan were the stars of the show.

have to say that was an awful game, both teams are pretty useless. I hope I am busy the day of the replay as I dont want to have to watch through another game like that. Based on what we have seen so far there is nothing to worry Kilkenny out there. Maybe Offaly can sneak into an All Ireland final via the back door

Wexford FTW

maybe next year lol

Think we should have a bbv weekend away to all go on the piss with HH..

And what could possibly go wrong

[Bubbleking]

got this from the Hoganstand website. I know hes wearing no. 13 but its a louth supporter and not a player. Ran straight up to mark ward after the game and punched him - WTF?

[pgodkin]

maybe next year lol

remember 96! or what ever year we won it! F it if the english/german's/itailans etc can bring up past glorys to reson why they dont need to win surly wexford can as well!

My uncle Derek was good mate's with Brian back in the day and gave him one of the sticks he used winning the All Ireland final as a memento, 99 iirc? Even better again was his younger brother Alan, misplaced his own hurley and was late for a match one day so grabbed Brian Whelehan's stick and split it straight up the middle.

This is the story of how my uncle Alan went on to became a Hurley mender .

[Teddie]

GAA is a joke of an organisation. The Gardai and stewards at the Louth match are equally incompetent(sp). Great to see the ref doing his best to rig the Cork match as well.

i think 1 steward tried to help and is now hospitalised - sickening tbh

[The C Kid]

I don't understand why the GAA lunatics are getting so worked up about the match-winning score in the Meath game. Looked a clear try to me, definite downward pressure.

Well done Meath.

Look forward to O'Shea or some other muppet of his ilk going on about soccer hooligans showing up at the home of the GAA

[Hectorjelly]

I went to see Predators, I thought it was terrible. The first half an hour was pretty good, I reckon a 6 or 7 out of ten, depending on how generous you were feeling,

SPOILER

beat: I wanted to bet with my friend the mexican would be the first to die but he hmmmed and hawwed and we never made the bet

.

The second half and hour was mediocre, a 4 out of ten at best, but the last third was a trainwreck. 1/10. I got the impression the editing was really bad, I kept gettin the feeling they had missed some of the plot. Mind you that might not be a bad thing, as the plot is so retarded, the less you get to see of its nonsense the better. It was one of those films that relys so heavily on chliches of the genre that they don't even bother fleshing them out, they assume you know the chilche and don't have to bother with the actual fleshing out of the narrative. There are one or two ridiculous plot twists that are so f*cking stupid they actually increase your enjoyment, but unfortunately they are pretty rare.

SPOILER

For instance when the doctor decides to turn evil, when the both of them are trapped in a pit about to be killed by a predator. Why do it then? It decreased his chance of survival. It served no purpose whatsoever except for saying "ha ha fooled you stupid audience"

I don't mind suspending my disbelief for a film, but asking you to suspend your logic making facility for 90 minutes is a bit much. There are so many plot holes some of the holes have holes in them. And not in a good way. I know a lot of people don't care about the plot in action films, but even the action scenes are rubbish. Two predators fighting (don't ask) appeared just like you would imagine two drunken rednecks fighting, rolling over each other and seemingly only remembering they had high tech weaponry after a couple of minutes.


Edit: Where did they get all the bloody ammo from!

[CHDad]

Not long til Counties have their own firms and a large chunk of the crowd look like this



Also, GAA is a joke of an organization. The sport is good to watch but it is terribly run.

We played em one time around halloween in there home pitch. it was like beiruit with all the black cat bangers being fcuked at us on the pitch. They had also set fire to a bit of scrub so they could signal the mob.
they had about a hundred loyal fans on there side line. i got the ball on the wing and was free and was kicked 3 times by 3 different fans and the referee laughed and said play on.
they beat us 2.1 but also took our souls and one of the guys brand new alloys too

oh the happy memories of playing the wicklow League

That is because you are culchies though. They did have some good players. Absolute kip of a place. Funny how Greystones thinks it's posh and upper market yet half it is full of scum.

At what point was it decided that the fencing wasnt required at these matches. Was it not made into a regulation that all championship matches be behind a fenced enclosure.

[CHDad]

yeah but it would give people involved time to get to safety

True, but not a proper solution. Just tell people to STFU and keep them off the pitch, get with the times GAA.

I agree that GAA are behind the times but it is very hard for stewards to hold back 25k + fans charging at the one time. both county boards should be fined and court appearences for people who assaulted officials

It is done in other sporting events effectively. Ban it and do things properly, they have plenty of money. If they really cared they could do it. See what is said about this soon enough anyway.

Carnew AFC of course . the highest we got was division 1. We had about 4-5 soccer players and the rest of us were gary nevilles

Wow. What a second half, I've said it before but under Davy fitz this Waterford team know how to hang on and grind. Tony fucking browne, what a hero. 37 years old and able to come up with something like that after 73 mins of play.

[Teddie]

lol, looking at the RTE replayer. It seems the fan wearing the 13 jersey is actually the guy who tries to block Colum Judge from attacking the ref as well.

Ah feck, just got a call from the landlord about 'noise last night'. He's such a sound guy that feel bad for letting him down. He's a London lad and himself and his czech wife are both croupiers. So convined his wife (aka the landlady) is into me as she keeps on sending me suggestive texts

EDIT: she just sent me a text saying 'there's a first time for everything =D'. This was in response to a fairly innocous text message.

I think they may be lining you up for a different kind of threesum.
