Picture: Paul McShane and the Hull Squad kitted out in their Christmas jumpers for a session in Temple Bar

The lads from the Hull City Tigers were in Dublin recently, having a quick pre-Christmas drink

There are a few sure signs that Christmas is in the air: the lights are switched on in town, you can hear Christmas songs in the shops, and Paul McShane is in Temple Bar with his Hull team mates wearing their Christmas jumpers. They were spotted by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Easpaig, who tweeted this fantastic photo he managed to snap with McShane, and according to his account he also sang a few songs with (or possibly at) Allan McGregor and ended up confusing Aaron McClean with Stéphane Sessègnon.

Still, at least Paul was in good enough form to pose for a quick snap and have a but of a laugh with Caoimhin, a top lad by all accounts. We're sure they were on the water all night too...
