EURO 2016 IS just around the corner, and yesterday the first sign of what Dublin will look like during the big matches revealed itself to the public… in the form of a brilliant Roy Keane mural on Andrews Lane.
The tournament starts on 10 June, and Andrews Lane is where Dublin’s official fan zone area will be for the duration.
And Roy can’t cope with the excitement
As Fanfair describe on their Facebook page, the fan zone can essentially be summed up as:
100′s of football fanatics cheering on their respective nations for the duration of the tournament.
It was launched yesterday, and is set to be the Dublin city centre spot for having a few drinks, having the craic and watching the Ireland games in June:
We’ll be the Dublin home for the Boys in Green this Summer as we broadcast all the Ireland matches as well as every other minute of football on our giant projectors and screens.
We’re situated at 12-16 Andrews Lane (Just off Dame Street) and Kick Off is June 10th at 6pm.
The audacity of hope

Ridiculous slogan
Can’t Cope + Roy Keane = Ill-judged
Someone explain can’t cope please
When I saw the pic I assumed the slogan was something to do with mental health. . . .
Every European country will have these fanzones in city squares while Ireland has one down a laneway, stay classy Dublin!
Hmmmm…I wouldn’t have picked the slogan ‘Can’t Cope’ for Roy Keane?….
Can’t cope with what Roy? The training conditions?
Anyone remember a similar style when trap was appointed,but had “hope” on it…….if only we knew…
Id say it’s got to do with the excitement??
If they added ‘saipan’, then the ‘can’t cope’ would make sense.
Can mope might have been more accurate.
