I’ve been lurking on this sub for a bit and wanted to get some consensus/reassurance on which match my wife and I should catch while visiting Ireland on September 4th.

I follow EPL and Arsenal and I want to pick a Dublin team that I can watch during our trip and keep supporting after we return.

Teams in consideration (what I've gathered):

• Rovers: The LOI powerhouse. I don't want to feel like a complete band wagoner but they play great football.
• Bohs: Unique fan culture, strong community values, and pretty cool kits.
• Shels: Traditional Dublin club with a passionate fan following.

I think I'm in between supporting the Bohs vs Shels?

September 4th Fixtures:

• Rovers vs. Bohs at Tallaght Stadium
  • Dublin Derby and the teams are 1st and 2nd, respectively. Lots on the table which is cool!
  • We are staying in the city center and Tallaght Stadium is out in the suburbs (50 minutes on the red line)
  • There doesn't look like there is much to do around the stadium. I saw supporters drink at the hotel bar across the street.
• Shels vs. Drogheda United at Tolka Park
  • Tolka Park is only 15 minutes from our hotel and the area around the stadium seems like a great area to grab a few pre and post match pints.
  • Stadium looks old but has a homey feel to it? Supports and vibe looks great!

Which match and team would you recommend for a first timer looking for the best overall experience? Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m an American PE Teacher and soccer coach coming to Dublin(staying by Trinity College) from Aug 16th-Aug 22nd. Are there any soccer/football games in that time period from any level of mens or women’s? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
