The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Sat Sep 03, 2011 9:48 pm

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the virtual rugby pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the David Pocock photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Ale

Just heard the Manics' new single on 6 Music. It's rubbish.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:38 pm

Also, does anyone know when the Welsh team's announced?

by Mick(TEFC) Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:42 pm

wow Thom, that really is awful

by red_stag Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:46 pm

Oh god Thomond, I now hope the Dubs get PULLVERISED!!!

Plus my Dads from Kerry

by Mick(TEFC) Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:52 pm

I see Napolioni Nalaga has signed for Western Force for after the RWC;shame,would have been good to see him back at ASM, but it's only a 1 year contract, sooooo...

by red_stag Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:55 pm

At least he's back playing Mick. He had some illness or bereavement had he?

by Guest Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:06 pm

Paul Deacon wears headgear for Wigan. I don't agree with it. I wore one in youth as scrummaging does hurt, but didn't keep it long. Plus it's easier to get punched one somebody has something to grab. You also spend a lot of time adjusting it.

by Mick(TEFC) Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:14 pm

He went home to get married; but his mother stitched him up and wanted him to marry a girl of her choice;depression etc etc,but now he's back Yahoo

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:29 pm

That Dublin song is awful. Tripe. But what hype? The coaches & players arent buying into that krap. Its Kerry - the Masters, we are playing.

Having said that... Mon De Dubs! Bring Sam Home!

Believe.

by red_stag Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:33 pm

Home? Limerick is the home of Sam Maguire. We won the very first All Ireland Smile

If not Limerick then its Kerry who have comfortably the most. Like all Irishmen, Sam just visits Dublin a bit. Its not his home though.

Smile

Thread about Napolioni Nalaga signing for the Force in the club section.

by red_stag Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:41 pm

Nice one Prop and Huggy.

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:47 pm

Go Hughie. Any chance you might not drink all of those pints?

by Mickado Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:51 pm

Sam Maguire was actually from London. So he’s never been “home”. And “hype”? That song is rubbish but every county has a song for the final, it’s like the soccer teams used to release one if they got to the FA cup final. Big swinging micky.

I’ve heard no hype about them whatsoever. And there’s a serious smugness off every Kerry fan I know, it wouldn’t surprise me if we lost. But if we win, I'll have no problem being a 24carat Poopie to every cultchie who ran the dubs down in the past 16 years. Oh the list is long. Remember Father Ted with his golden cleric acceptance speech, that’ll be me.

Áth Cliath Abú!!!

by red_stag Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:51 pm

Seriously fair play Highie

by Mick(TEFC) Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:55 pm

hughie,
Great news my man, looking forward to celebrating that with you! Yahoo

But not all 1024 pints(I counted them)

Any chance of you being at Stansted at around 7pm on Thursday 15th ?

by prop_lyd Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:56 pm

Fair play Hughie!! cider

Stag: we're going to the Berlin one (means we get to see Berlin too then!)

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:58 pm

Great news Hugmeister. Fancy a smoke outside the gates to celebrate? Hug

Seriously. Delighted for you man. Onwards and Upwards.

by Suspicious lurker Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:00 pm

That could easily be done chef I'm working earlys that week

by Suspicious lurker Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:05 pm

Stag, I'm not sure your right about Limerick

I was under the impression that, as the story goes, many counties wanted to use green white and gold as the colour of their jerseys and no agreement could be made. So the GAA said whoever wins the first All-Ireland can ware those colours, hence the fact Offaly no wear Green White and Gold

We won the first final against Louth I think it was.

This is so true and all the culchies want kerry to win aswell, i'll be storming into the office at 11.23am on the 19th still locked with my coppers stamp on my hand and be dishing out some revenge for all the slagging i got.
Although i dont think any dublin fan will get to ahead of themselves
I still remember last year giving my cork relations loads.(me standing on seat in cusack stand singing " you shot your only rebel in the back")
I'm still paying for that one.

To quote my culchie colleague:

“I wouldn’t mind if the Dubs won because I like the team, but all of the supporters are scumbags and I hate them”

I’ll be decorating the office, from top to bottom in Dubs colours next week, win lose or draw I’ll pish off all the embittered boggers.

by D24tress Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:54 pm

funny thing is i would be the first to bad mouth half the dublin support

however if someone else from outside did it i would be up in arms

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:55 pm

I can't believe I only just noticed this but Henry Tuilagi isn't in the World Cup squad.

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:17 pm

I hope Dublin lose,their supporters are arrogant Muppets and I can't stand the attention the media give them.

I'm also a Corkman so I believe that everything goes in favour of Dublin and everyone is against Cork.

by Mickado Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:22 pm

Arrogant muppets? That would be like someone saying that all Leeds fans are arrogant muppets? They haven’t won anything in years so if you perceive them to be arrogant then the issue lies elsewhere.

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:25 pm

Any fans I met last year where saying Sam would be in Dublin come September 2010. They dismissed that Cork team completely. They kept talking about how "footballer of the year" Bernard Brogan would steamroll Cork. What a load of BS.

by Mickado Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:28 pm

We must have the monopoly on arrogance alright.

Peoples republic of Cork

I'm impressed that you managed to talk to a good cross section of fans before last years game though.

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:31 pm

I am arrogant, Cork people in general are. We know we are though.

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:42 pm

That's not arrogance... that's collective insecurity... Whistle

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:47 pm

BTW, how did that gobshoite Pocock get his picture up behind the bar? I want his nemesis - Jenno, in the next Pub roysh. Proper South Dub. Bit of class like. guinness

It depends on which mod sets up the next pub Gibbo. I was planning on McCaw if it was me Wink

by Mickado Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:50 pm

So the difference between Cork arrogance and Dublin arrogance is that Corkonians are self aware and generalistic, Dubs are not self aware and just arrogant about sporting fixtures. And that makes us "arrogant muppets" and Cork folk are...?

You don't like Dublin, it's nothing to do with arrogance. You probably don't even know what it's about yourself, although "everything gors for Dublin" suggests a bit of an inferiority complex.

by poissonrouge Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:54 pm

Hope everyone is hungry.

There's enough chips on the shoulders of everyone in here tonight to feed an army!

Very Happy

Ah, Ok mate. But for the Oz game yeah? It just might swing things our way... Even if Kidney doesn't play him. Cool

Mrsp,
Have ye any salt and vinegar atall?

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:03 pm

I definitely think it's an inferiority complex. I'd bet you get that with nearly all capitals around the world.

Don't tar everybody with the same brush. It's just the flipping Irish again Wink

I do fancy some chips now though.

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:13 pm

Yeah Munsty. Londoners and Parisians are near the top of that table, in their respective countries.

Paris or Toutes Direction on their motorway signs, says it all. With London - its Beyond the Watford Gap - that's where them Northern Hoardes begin.

With Dublin - its the Red Cow Roundabout.

Its just a laff.

Yeah Rev, I fancy some chips too mate. Time to get peeling. I may have a homemade burger with chilli relish as well. Go mad like. And peas! I loves peas I does.

Thanks MrsP!

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:16 pm

Okay then,this could blow over into something ridiculously big an could lead to in fighting in here which is not what I wanted to cause. I was on the wind.

by Gibson Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:18 pm

On the wind T? You should take some powders for that pal.

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:20 pm

I was wumming Gibbo.

We'll see. Though in fairness Dreamer opens more pubs than I do. I suspect you're out of luck if Linebreaker does it again though Wink

by Thomond Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:32 pm

I don't have much of a problem with Dublin itself. It's a nice city,I think there are nicer ones in Ireland but it is a nice place.
