World Cup in Beijing: Paddy O’Shea’s to feature ‘Anyone But France’ promotion
Yep, he had a hand in it...
-
During this contest a few months ago for 15 pints of Guinness at Paddy O’Shea’s, I noted that pub manager Karl “Who’s Your Paddy” Long would have some France-related specials for the World Cup after that Thierry Henry hand ball dashed the hopes of Ireland. Long sent me the details of his Anyone But France (ABF) promotion today. Put your name in the hat at Paddy’s ahead of games involving France and you could win draws for the following:
- A dozen beers for every goal scored against France
- Six beers for every red card against France
- A cocktail for every yellow card against France
- A beret, wheel of Camembert, and signed Henry poster for every time Long does an Edith Piaf impersonation
The ABF promotion is in good fun and Long says he will give out some shots to those who wear French jerseys during games. He notes that Paddy O’Shea’s will be able to handle two games simultaneously as it will be using Kamat’s upstairs during the World Cup.

I despair of my fellow members of the Irish community worldwide sometimes. You would have thought THIS would have been the wake-up call we all needed to drop the British colonial game once and for all and do everything we can to make OUR games of Gaelic football and hurling stronger but…no. We prefer to wrap ourselves in the union jack by proxy and continue to let a game that is detrimental to our national interests dictate to us.
gosh – i didnt realise liked to read blogs never mind have the internet in the year 1920 – how do you manage to eat your potatoes with these foreign chopsticks at all robin ? God love you being surrounding by people that dont like exactly what you like – i think you should move back to connemmara and raise 15 kids and then you can have your own hurling team to take on the world and make you proud – muppet
i agree! everyone should only play sports from their home country, eat only their regional cuisine, and never leave the home the good lord provided, shunning the outside world.
Personally i think this is a good post. I’ll be sure to come back for more..Also, i have bookmark your site!Mindy Radio
