For those who have been loyally following my contributions to Spurs Community over the years, and wondering why, I have great news. For those going to Madrid for the Real Quarter Final game your patience with some of the nonsense, bias and misinformation that you have had to put up with is about to be rewarded.

I bring you genuine offers of free beer. Now you're really interested I can tell even from here. My daughter Liz is the manager of an Irish 'Sports bar' close to the Bernabeu Stadium. This is a very Football and Rugby friendly place serving a wide range of beers: Guinness, Heineken and John Smith's amongst others.

In addition to the usual 'meal deals' available on match days she is making the 'Irish Rover' particularly Spurs friendly for the Real game on match day, 5th April, with a buy one get one free offer on all pints before the game.

She is obviously hoping that you will all come back afterwards to celebrate.

The fact that I have pictures of her naked on a rug at 2yrs old has nothing to do with this offer. Fashionable at the time but probably illegal now. Prices are in any case very reasonable for central Madrid and these deals are literally ones you just cannot refuse. You will need to produce some form of Spurs credentials, match tickets; membership cards; full Tottenham kit should do it.

It is two minutes walk from the stadium. Look for the BBBV bank on the other side of the main road (The Castellana). Walk down between the bank and the Ministry of Defence; past the first traffic lights: on the left is a small square with a gardens in the middle; in the far corner is 'The Irish Rover'; on the road side there is a Starbucks which you will obviously ignore.

The bar makes a very good base for short trips to Madrid; stag does for example as usually Easy Jet from Luton is very cheap. It is open from midday until 3 or 4 o/c in the morning seven days a week. A wide range of Spanish and Anglo/American food is served and they do a very good 3 course 'Menu Del Dia' for about 10 Euros.

Website address for you to check it out is: http://www.theirishrover.com/ing/index.html

Nearest Metro station is the Bernabeu itself. So pile in lads and eat drink and be merry as I am only on a very small commission. (I wish). Mention my name if you like but it might not do you any good as I haven't cleared my tab lately.

That offer is bordering on too generous, I hope your daughter doesn't run out of beer too quickly because she will be full to bursting!

They had over 3000 customers over the St.Patrricks day festival last week, so I don't think you need to worry too much, and that was without a big crowd in for the Ireland England game.

I really don't understand people that go to a foreign country only to head to the nearest "Irish bar or English style pub". Uncultured, ignorant knoobends.

Well it's certainly a way into the culture.
The everyday clientile of the 'Irish Rover' are predominantly Spanish business people who work in the surrounding area.
They come for the excellent Spanish midday meals and an intriguing half way house venue.
It leads you into trying things Spanish in a Spanish and English speaking environment. All the staff are bi-lingual.
It's not at all like the 'English breakfast all day' locations that you get on the Costa Del Sol where English food and 'English' predominate.

On match days several games are shown and the Spanish fans predominate.

It's a football away game. It's not an effing cultural tour.

A big thankyou to all Spurs fans who visited the 'Irish Rover' from Liz.
Best behaved and likeable she's come across and you are welcome any time.
