“Am I drunk, or are Xherdan Shakiri’s calves bleedin’ massive?”
Yes, the Stoke City attacker is the owner of football’s largest calves, but you’re probably drunk too because you’re at the Republic of Ireland’s Good Friday agreement with Switzerland.

Outside of dog tracks, private members clubs and international waters, the Aviva Stadium is one of the very few places where alcoholic beverages can be purchased this Friday.
The Aviva is very proud of its 69 bars, with the capabilities of serving 90,000 pints, and that capacity could be put to the test on Friday, depending on the number of tickets that sell for the third to last friendly ahead of Euro 2016.
With no pubs around Lansdowne Road open, the stadium could be fuller than normal before kick-off. Such punctuality, coupled with the availability of booze, could make for a better than average atmosphere.
Has anyone told the travelling Swiss fans that Dublin’s famous pubs will not be open to them on Friday night?
