Print[Ed. Note - I had to front page this. Folks, we've got a Michigan fan in a far off place looking for a place to watch the game. Someone help the man and chime in with some bars for him to catch the game in Dublin, Ireland and London, England!]
Does anyone know of a Michigan friendly bar in Dublin, Ireland. I will be in Dublin for the Notre Dame game so a Notre Dame friendly bar would work too (I would like to talk smack if possible)? I will also be in London, England for the University of Massachusetts game and would be looking for a bar in London as well. So I am a few words short so I am adding this last in so I can post. Go Blue.

I've got a map...
I’ve been maintaining a map of all the UM bars I’m aware of, including one in London. The map is linked in the first post here:

If you have anything to add to the list, let me know. Good luck finding a place in Dublin!
London
The best place to try to watch Michigan football in London is the Sports Cafe or Sports Bar and Grill or Bodean’s. You can also check the University of Michigan London page on ning (http://uofmlondon.ning.com/). But most likely you will not be able to find the UMass game anywhere in a bar or anything since it will be on BTN. Best way to see it is to pay for the internet subscription with BTN.
Go Blue!
Online games
I live in Jordan and watch all the games during the season online. 2 major spots online to watch them would be the BTN site for the UMASS game as Chris noted (and that should be the only place where you can watch it) and as for the ND game probably ESPN GameDay online would have it on.. although its broadcast by NBC, but usually ESPN carries it for international audiences. btw, the ND game might be televised on ESPN International, so you might be able to watch it at the hotel. enjoy and GO BLUE
I lived in NL for several years.
Just bring your laptop with connectivity and watch the UM game with your mates. You’ll have a fun time explaining the Michigan helmet to them. I was very surprised how much many Europeans genuinely like American football.
If you’re in Dublin, man, promise us all you’ll use the phrase “Damn your eyes!” after every first down while curling down your many Guinness (the beer that drinks like a meal).
Go Blue!
Dublin
Good luck finding a place. I was there for March Madness and we could only find one bar that was showing games. I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a bar showing NCAA CFB games, let alone a Michigan bar. There’s a place called Woolshed Bar on Parnell St that showed a great than average propensity to air American sports. They also have a ton of TVs, so you might have some luck convincing them to put on the UM game.
It's safe to say Woolshed Bar will have the game on
That’s where I watched Olympic Hockey (which absolutely zero Irishmen cared about) when I was there this past winter. Bar has an Australian theme.
But, wouldn’t it be more fun to watch it U-M/ND in an Irish pub? Of course!
English Premiere Soccer always gets priority there, but I checked the schedule: all games will be over by the time U-M/ND kick off. Since ND is the local “home team” (and is actually playing a game there in 2012), I would think it likely this game will be on many places.
Doheny & Nesbitt’s - which is an old-school rugby pub - is my suggestion. About a half-mile east of St. Stephen’s Green.
Yeah I saw that ND was playing a game in 2012 which made me assume they would be playing the UM v ND game this year. I will have to try one of these places as I will not be bringing my laptop with me. Also the UMass game is not of very high importance as it is just a baby seal game (remembering “The Horror”) and I will just watch it on my DVR when I get back to the states. I would figure that there might be a ND friendly bar that I can go to so I can smack talk so I have been trying to post on some of the ND boards, but have yet to find a good one.

I've spent the summer in Taiwan
None of my friends understand why I am always on Maize N Brew, mgoblog and Gang Green Nation (Jets Blog). I have tried to get them to come watch some of the preseason games but 8am on a Sunday/Monday is a tough sell. Fortunately I will be back in Ann Arbor come September 4th. Good luck with finding a bar in Europe to watch us beat down some Huskies.
Taiwan's Number 1 Wolverine fan.
Atlanta
I have been to Pepporonis tavern in Atlanta. I was living in Atlanta for a year and heard about this place. I checked it out for a game. AMAZING!! I met the owner who was U of M alumni. Everything from Michigan table clothes to flags and banners hanging everywhere. This place bleeds Maize and Blue. I went home with Michigan coasters, a Michigan flag and some more Michigan friends. Mostly all Michigan fans in the building also.
