Gerry - is it on sky sports? - if so and it does not clash with any minority sport such as football then you will probably be able to persuade the barman at Carvoiro Golf clubhouse to put it on their giant screen

Sky have it on Setanta sport. This is an extra subscription channel, and few will have it. However there have been posts in the past and I remember seeing it mentioned as being available somewhere in CVO.
Good luck , from a totally disinterested northern prod

Back in June (page 6) Loretta was looking for somewhere to watch funny football, and theres a mention of the Tropical Coffee House near Roche Brava as having Setanta. Maybe she'll respond to your post.
Still totally disinterested
Did you hear about the guy who dreamt the result of the Linfield Glentoran cup final in 2020 - 2,9 to 1,5

Hi Gerry.
When we were over there in June they didnt have sky connected yet but the owner said they would have it by the end of July and they would subscribe to Setanta.
If they havent got it yet the nearest place is Pria Do Rocha, there are a lot of pubs that have Setanta there but i wouldnt recommend the area its not the nicest of places in the Algarve in my opinion.
Good luck i hope you get to watch the match.
Who will you be shouting for

Rod ,yep heard about that match didn,t ian,s grandson the young fella of the paisleys get man of the match the same day,Rhonda must be so proud.
Anyway good of you to help i,ll say a few hail marys for you.
thanks to you loretta and graham also but i think i,ll stick to armaco and cvo i,ll be with my wife and friends and im to old to be watching my back. For those of you who have never seen a hurling final the brutality is kept to the pitch,the howling and roaring between rival fans never ever gets nasty and this may not always be understood by the rest of the world

Try Dirty Nelly's, the Irish bar on the right hand side of the in road, at the bottom of the "donkey track". I'm pretty sure they'll have it. If the place is still open, that is.
