The Fridge Pack - A new phenonomen to me - its an 8 pack of cans, fairly reasonably priced. For example - 8 cans of bud is 13.99 or can be bought at 2.35 each. So the cost of six individual cans (the aforementioned 6-pack) is 14.10, ergo the Six-Pack is now defunct and bankrupt as a concept.
I don’t particularly want 8 cans for the Celtic match tonight but the above pricing scheme leaves me with no choice. I can’t buy 8 and only drink 6 because like all those with a touch of alcoholism that just isn’t possible.
I dont drink out of cans anymore, I find my palate has moved on and I’m firmly a bottle drinker now.
Never beer but cans of cider are still sound in my book.
Fair enough, was never a cider man though so still a no go for me.
has to be ice cold though, lager from a can is putrid…I noticed a few roasters in Bridgetown were drinking pint bottles of Guinness the other night off the shelf
Hottles hor he hor he hame honight.

Cans of cider are good. Cans of Beer not so good.
thought this thread was about fat irish lads.

Where is Bridgetown?[/quote]
About three mile from Clonlara and a mile from O’Briens Bridge, on the backroad to Broadford, Bridge Celtic’s pitch is located in the village…
It is like a village that the Celtic tiger forgot

I spent a summer working in Tulla back in the Tiger days. There was a village down around there, maybe Bodyke - Im not sure. There was a kind of a cross roads on it on the main road to Killaloe. Now that place was some shithole. Loads of old derellict buildings.

That woul explain why they are called Bridge Celtic so. I always assumed they were sixmilebridge. I wondered why you would go all that way to play soccer.
No O’Briens Bridge, the bridgetown lads stick to the GAA and look down their nose at the soccer…Not good enough for the farmers allegedly
Sixmilebridge are Bridge United
Could very well have been Bodyke, there are a few villages like that in East Clare, Broadford is another similar style village…
Killanena is like something from a horror movie

Play a game there once and drank a quick pint in a pub there, it really is the land that time forgot.
That pub(Cooney’s) is now closed and has been a seriuos loss to the village and local soccer club, it now means that we are no longer 30 yards from a pub after a match:mad:
Never knew you were a bridge player Puke how long are you playing junior soccer?
Too long;)
Played most of my underage in Limerick City before joining the Bridge to player adult level
