Scottish pub, should have Sky Sports. Yeah, if I don't make it there, don't make it there but nice to have the option. Thanks.

In Rome on Friday.

There for a few day holiday with mates. If we see City we see City, hope so anyway- erm anyone know where might be useful for it?

2 pubs near the Santa Maria Maggiore Papal Church, about 5 min walk away from the Colosseum. Both Irish pubs, both called 'The Druids Den'. One of them actually had City stickers behind the bar. Both have all English sports channel, Sky Sports etc.

Give 'em a quick look on TripAdvisor. Nice little pubs in a nice part of town. I watched U21s England v Germany when I was in there.

Im sure you will find a bar with sky somewhere.  Whether there will be sufficient demand to show the game if an italian match is being telivised is another matter.

Can always record and watch when you get home, but its not the same.

Romans are villa fans you know.

Will have a good look before I go. Handy location also! Both called 'The Druids Den' eh? Possibly a mini chain. Sounds good anyway!

Do as the Romans do,is the correct answer surely.

Remember watching City vs Hull playoff final back in the day in Rome, my other half at the time wasn't too happy! Needless to say, i wasn't that enamoured with the result.

Small bar just off a side street right in the middle of Roma, where the policeman directs traffic in his little plinth! I'll look up the name....

Yeah mate a mini chain. Only 2 of them as far as I'm aware. Both decorated the same etc. One is down a quaint little side street, very nice like a cavern. Quite small but popular with Brits and locals alike. The other is far bigger and more sports bar like with screens inside and outside.

On a separate note the Church in the middle is outstandingly beautiful, well worth a look inside.

The wife says that there was a nice looking English pub near the Trevi Fountain when we went (7 years ago mind). We never went in as we were trying to stick to non English places to eat/drink. There was also a large Spar quite close if that helps with locating it.

Whether or not it's still there, and whether or not they show Sky Sports I don't know. Probably not a hugely helpful response in hindsight but, you never know....

Pass, I can barely remember what I did yesterday - I've got no chance of remembering the name of the pub :P

Druids Rock - Pretty central and I'd be very surprised if it's not showing there

Gotta be a Roman Villa around there surely?

 

(if not, I dont want to ruin it for you, but you can catch the Pompeii vs The Gas match on Saturday) 

 

Just out of interest, I understand Pompeii got a 10 year ban in about 62AD, after a riot between locals and away fans. It was a gladiatorial contest, obviously, not football. They beat Millwall to it by about 1850 years. Plus ca change and all that.

This is factual by the way, for anyone who was looking for a punchline.

Cheers for all the suggestions guys.

Sadly how it panned out, we quite hungry so unlikely we will see game, however was heartened to check into online report a few mins back and judging by that we're holding our own?

Let's hope for a good display and more importantly a win tonight. Not impossible could catch last 20 mins but would need quick service etc.
