Now the draws made me and a couple of mates are in Belfast for that weekend. Will there be anywhere that will be showing it that won't get us in trouble with Celtic or Sevco fans? Other option is just stream it on the laptop in the Europa :-)

Whatever pub you watch it in just be sure to behave on the train journey home. [emoji23]🤣🤣[emoji23][emoji23]

From my limited knowledge of Belfast city centre the problem you'll face is that a lot of decent pubs won't show it. Of the places that will it's a bit of a lottery as to whether expressing support for hibs will be more trouble than it's worth sadly.

I know there used to be. I don't know if it's still on the go. I think a couple of guys used to post on here. Maybe still do

Surely there will be plenty of pubs in West Belfast where you could watch a Hibs-Celtic game in peace? Celtic pubs should be fine I'm guessing?

I would have thought so but just checking. My brother in law is through there and a Cliftonville Fan so hopefully he can help.

There are plenty of pubs in West Belfast where you could watch anything you like. If they don't recognise you its very uncomfortable.

I was in Belfast around May 2007 and went down to breakfast in the hotel I was staying in dressed in my Hibs top to enjoy my breakfast. Just as I was about to enjoy my bacon and eggs etc in walked three huns all kitted out in hun tops. I got some very dirty looks and felt I was in danger of being attacked but sat tight until I had wolfed down the brekkers and made my way out of the breakfast room. Its a precarious city and maybe I was a bit gallus in wearing the colours but hey ho.

I have watched hibs v celtic in West Belfast (Falls/Andersonstown area) before a couple of times and was no bother, just dont start getting it round folk too much if/when we score. It can be a struggle finding pubs around the city centre that show Scottish football, or certainly that was my experience a few years back.

You know me Sam, just keep myself to myself.

I can promise you that it is much safer watching a game of football in Belfast City Centre than it is in Glasgow City Centre. Belfast has changed big time, and as long as you are careful (i.e. don't wear colours) you will be fine - in fact, in my experience of dealing with the locals, you will be engaged in ceaseless smalltalk.

Having thought about it a bit more there is actually somewhere I'd recommend- The Errigle on Ormeau Rd. It's a fairly big pub with lots of different rooms each with a TV. I watched ROI v Italy in the Euros in there last year and it was a good atmosphere.

Ormeau Rd is a fairly mixed and decent part of the city, in fact it reminds me of Leith Walk in some ways. It's not far from the centre and I suspect you'd be fine in there for the match. They also have a good range of local beers on tap :aok:
