All Ireland replay

by

If you weren't lucky enough to nab tickets to the All Ireland replay in Croke Park this Saturday, you might be feeling a little dejected at the thought of having to watch it in your living room or local boozer.

Whether it's the idea of battling over the remote with roommates or jostling for a glimpse of the pub's screen with fellow supporters, when it comes to a match as important as this one we can't leave anything to chance.

Thankfully, we won't have to as ODEON cinemas are offering GAA supporters the opportunity to kick back in front of the silver screen and watch Dublin and Mayo fight it out for the title this Saturday.

With throw-in at 5pm, sports fans and their friends and family can prepare for the big moment with pre-game coverage at 4pm before the boys in blue go head to head with the men from Mayo.

Will Mayo break the curse of 51 or will Dublin nab their 26th title?

Head along to your local ODEON and find out!

If you had been holding out hope that Dublin Bus drivers might rearrange their days of industrial action in order to facilitate commuters on the day of the All Ireland replay, you're about to be sorely disappointed.

According to reports, National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) general secretary Dermot O’Leary has expressed his distaste for the suggestion.

Speaking to The Journal, Mr. O'Leary insisted that demands to reschedule the strike on Saturday October 1 "just to facilitate a one-off occasion is frankly insulting to both staff and their regular commuters."

Further to this, Mr. O'Leary reminded the public that there will be two days of industrial action prior to the All Ireland replay meaning that the drivers' resolve is likely to be strengthened by the time the replay rolls around.

"Those who are calling for this suspension would be far better served if they were to focus their energies on getting this dispute resolved for the benefit of all those who use Dublin Bus services," he said in response to calls for a postponement of strike action on October 1.

Well, there you have it.
