June is on it's way...

We're almost there!!! May has been steady, but quiet so now approaches the moment we've all been waiting for. All the big clubs swing into action from this weekend, more hotels open and many more flights arrive. More important than all that, of course, is that Monica is back in the next couple of days.... watch this space.

Hi to the Inverness lads who were in last night along with a member of the Inverness Caley Thistle first team! The first pro-footballer to visit the bar and he doesn't play for the Hoops.... yet.

The Ibiza Rocks hotel open this weekend with a special concert headlined by The Enemy. They have big plans for this Summer so it should bring more 'rockers' to the island. Dec and the Ground Zero crew will be pleased.

Cheerio's to the Morecambe crew, Rob and Eelco who all left last night. See you all again soon.

By the way...... some exciting news re: The Huddle Bar coming up over the next few days!!!

Phil O'Donnell Tribute Game

As this match (v Motherwell) is only being shown on Channel 67, we'll be having a special screening Monday night from 10pm for those of you wanting to see the King of Kings etc. in action.

Singing in the rain.....

Poor weather in San Antonio tonight put a dampener on proceedings but a contingent of Spaniards looking for 'Pogues music' aleviated the boredom!

Goodbyes to Luke and Anna (t-shirts in the post soon) and to the rest of todays departures. Welcome to Newport, Morcambe and Coventry.... are there any Scots here???

Come on over to my place......

Hey You, We're having a party!!!!

Well the last 24 hours have been a blast. Congratulations To Celtic on winning the League. Bar was busy with the troops enjoying a sing-song and the party continued well into the morning.

Cheerio to the folk that left for the 8am flight to Glasgow...... which eventually left at 8pm and went to Edinburgh!!

Tonight the 'title-winning after party' was just as good though I really wasn't in the mood for more drink... cheers to those who bought me one and made me drink it!!

Some familiar faces...

John 'they didnae win the big one' and Suzanne are back. They were the first 'huddlers' to visit the bar last Summer. Some others from last year are back too including the girls from Bolton, Manchester and Somerset!

The funeral is being held today for Tommy Burns. Rest in Peace.

Dundee Utd v Celtic

Thursday night from 7pm.

Come join the SPL title-winners party! Arse-baring towards Kilties at the final whistle optional!

And so it begins...

Eden and Es Paradis both opened there doors last night and it was.... decidedly average! 26€ for 2 vodkas and a fanta and that's with a discount card!!! Music was good in Eden but not what was expected from a Hacienda night.

On a much brighter note.... the huns drew 1-1 with Motherwell today. Bring on Thursday!

R.I.P. Tommy Burns

Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 after losing his long-running battle against cancer.

Burns had been undergoing treatment in both Glasgow and France in recent weeks after being diagnosed in March.

The former Scotland midfielder was treated for skin cancer in 2006, but it returned earlier this year.

Burns was with Celtic from 1974 to 1989, had a spell as manager in the mid-1990s and was the club's first-team coach before being granted leave.

Y.N.W.A.

Singing in the rain...

yes, yes we were. A quiet yet enjoyable night in monsoon conditions. Cheerio to the Irvine crew! Welcome to the Hippy! A new sports bar opened tonight in San An. We didn't make it there as we were back in the 'fawlty towers' bar!!

Huns beat Motherwell

Dignity FC win a hard fought contest to register 3 more jammy points. Still, no more than was expected to be honest.

A quiet-ish night in the West End not helped by a wee drop of rain.... and some more to come for the next 2 days, then scorchio all the way till October.

A new 'fawlty towers' tribute bar opened in town tonight.... guess it wasn't meant to be though!!!

Happy Birthday...

... to Margret who turned XX years old last night and celebrated by having her first shot ever!!! Hope she's not too hung over for her boat trip today with Stevie and Stacey.

Title decider?

Our next live game will be Celtic v Hibs on Sunday.... kick-off at 13:30 local time. Should Rangers drop points on Wednesday and Saturday it could win us the League!!! See you there!

Greenock and Dublin

Another good night in The Huddle Bar, thanks to the girls from Greenock and Dublin. A special mention too for Pawel (who's back off to Czech Republic today) who kept us entertained with his dancing! Also, Tam (and Tams wife) hope you both found your apartment!!

I'm currently producing an info sheet for customers listing bars, restaurants that are recommended by us, so don't forget to ask for one when you're here.

Early Days

So, 3 days into the Summer season and it's been an encouraging start. Saturday was busy for the football (2-1 Celtic) and the night-time session was as good as ever.... just struggle to get people out at the end! C, the waitress, quit after less than 2 hours and has now been replaced by L from Dublin. Come in and ask to feel her hair!

Had our 1st Rangers fan of the season in last night. The fact that everyone in the bar, including his girlfriend, was a Celtic fan meant that he was in for a bit of a ribbing! The banter flowed!

So, Rangers draw with Hibs puts us 7 points clear though they have 3 games in hand. I have a good feeling about this!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Vol. Bobby Sands. R.I.P.

Opening Night

Thanks to everyone who made the opening party tonight such a success. Here's to the rest of the Summer being such fun!

2 sadder points to the day;

Anti-football F.C. somehow made it to the UEFA cup final
BNP got almost 70,000 votes in the London mayoral election

Coincidence......?????
