    Fibbar Magee's

    Local fans of Celtic sports gather at pub for a dose of Sunday morning satellite TV sports


    It's seven o'clock on Sunday morning, the sun is barely up, and Peter Wilson of Dublin, Ireland, is planted at the bar in Fibbar Magee's on Murphy Street. Despite the early hour, he's got plenty of good company. The main section of the pub is filled to standing-room-only capacity. All faces are pointing to one of the two televisions, ready to watch Cork play Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Hurling Final, a game like field hockey on steroids. Welcome to the world of the expatriate sports fan--where satellites bring the game live, but can't do anything about the time difference.   More
