Not too keen on going on going to the team hotel afterwards,too much throwing shoulders into fellow county ppl(yes women get shouldered out of the way too!!
prefer to drink the night away in town ,then finish the night away in flannerys,coppers

Lads where do yis go on Sunday mornings before the game for a bit of craic and banter. Mahers and Quinns are too crowded and dont open too early. Any suggestions?

Cavan Slasher you can come into the Royal Dublin Hotel on O' Connell Street with me! Upstairs has a big early bar and will be full of the Kingdom's finest sons! They also replay last year's final on the big screen and there's plenty of seating there. Make sure to wear your Cavan or Tyrone jersey so that I can spot you.

Jimbodub, was in Kennedy's a few times. Good craic alright and not too crowded.
3inarow08, was in the Royal Dublin before the semi-finals but not upstairs. I might call in to see kerry people watching the Cork demolition last year but it was painful to watch at the time and has'nt improved with age imo. If i meet you i will buy you a pint as i am a very generous Cavanman.

Oh they are a very rare species indeed. They are almost extinct at this stage unfortunately. I remember me aul lad telling me about how he met one of them years ago. This lad used to even buy the odd pint and everything. Alas, much like the corncrake, this species of cavanman has died away over the years

Not a bother Cavan Slasher!

(Joke) - Let me buy the first round in case they don't take pound notes! :)

No problems 3inarow08, i have plenty of 50 euro notes i got handy off soft Meath and Mayo lads at work when they did'nt win their provincial titles. They even gave me odds about it. Fools and their money are easily parted as the saying goes.

the hideout is a good spot to go the morning before the match, its good craic!
the night before if your determined to go to coppers, go early to get your stamp, then leave and head to dicey's or somewhere, come back later to coppers and you'll be able skip the queue with your stamp! it was mental last sat before the hurlin all-ireland....a waste of time!cant believe so many people could be bothered waiting in a queue to get in, sure the night would be over and ya'd be sober before you'd get in!! mcgowans in phibsboro is good craic and its easier to get taxis home after! the barge is good too, and roddy bolands in rathmines!
