The winner of the Dublin on Doyle's 2010 is MSM Jamal. Head on down to MSM Deli on 6th avenue get yourself a 6" Italian and ask him to take you as his guest.

We have 9 of our 10 finalists. The tenth will be drawn @ 9pm. If you have put your name, number, drunken scrawling or ode to Jameson on a bottle over the past 30 days you have a chance to become our 10th finalist. All bottles finished prior to 9pm drawing are eligible for the 10th spot.

Then the big show goes on @ 10pm with the drawing for round-trip airfare for two to Dublin, Ireland.

Well you knew that already since the web page pooped open.

If you have not purchased your tickets to the Community Shield match between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers on Thursday, March 11th we have a deal for South Sound Supporters. Bus ride and adult ticket for $25. You're thinking that sounds like full price. It is full price, but there is no Tickmeister Convenience Service Charge. We have a limited amount available so hurry in while supplies last. Tell the bartender you want the ticket bus pass combo or email doylesfc@gmail.com.

Go Sounders!

The first stage of Dublin on Doyle's is complete. There are 843 entrants for 9 spots. We will complete the drawing and then contact the finalists by phone. Those people will need to confirm their ability to attend the Grand Prize drawing on Wednesday, February 17th @ 10pm. Once they are confirmed they will be listed here for all the world to admire. If you are not one of the lucky ones do not fret there is still an opportunity.

Now that Fox has purchased Setanta we will be setting our tv schedule as accurately as possible. Manchester City vs. Blackburn is a go for Monday and we will have FA Cup matches on Tuesday & Wednesday. We can not confirm the Carling Cup match between Aston Villa and Blackburn Thursday.

We expect the formal announcement of the sale and how the game broadcasts will be structured. Let's cross our fingers that it does not become a pay-per-view format.

As of today Setanta will no longer be broadcasting EPL games. They will continue to cover the Coca-Cola, FA Cup, Carling cup and Rugby. Their last game will be tomorrow - Arsenal vs. Bolton @ 11:40am.

What is Repeal Day?The turn of the twentieth century was a dark time in America. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, which had been promoting Prohibition for many years, believed alcohol was the cause of many, if not all, social ills. Mistruths like this were spread. Lines were drawn. Bars and taverns were vandalized. People were killed.
