The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
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?

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
One thing I hate is the supporters' band in the crowd at England football matches. It's especially annoying when one bugler plays an approximation of 'come on England' and a second bugler comes in with what's meant to be a harmony, but actually it sounds dreadful.
So, because of their stupid bugle band, I hope England lose 10 - 0 and have four men sent off.

Mind you the Ospreys' band are just as bad.

It's forced. English football doesn't have a tradition of bands in the crowd. It's as if someone had a brainwave and thought that if England had its own version of a samba band they'd magically start playing like Brazil.

The Ospreys one is to stop their wingers falling asleep between chasing box kicks.

I haven't noticed the Ospreys' band. Their stadium announcer, on the other hand, what an ass he is.

There's a soccer game on?
More importantly the mighty Blunderbirds will be taking on the (boo hiss) Batman Sparks Club in the Highbury Grove mixed B grade netball final.
And since my team has players in it from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, South Africa, Greece and New Zealand (our Aussie shooter is away) and the other team are all Aussies I hope I can count on lots of support.

As I understand it the England band are Sheffield Wednesday fans who 'performed' at Hillsborough for a number of years before asking if they could play at England games.
As for hoping they make the team play like Brazil...their most popular ditty is the theme fron The Great Escape
Anyhow, my local is mobbed with fans at the mo. They should start clearing off in just over an hour.

I should've known. Nothing good has ever come from Yorkshire. Ask Swanny.

You've got to get him playing a more manly game like netball
(pointing out that mixed netball is a contact sport where you get to play against women usually helps)

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
Evening all.
Not sure I'll be watching the football later, would love for Wales to play really well, but not sure that's going to happen....
Munsty, hope you're feeling better now, or well, at least not that weird feeling anyway
Wish the rain would sort itself out at the US open as well, I want to watch some uninterrupted tennis today!

Good luck Kiwi... yeah, teach those Aussie upstarts a lesson and cut them down to size. You have my blessing.

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
Good evening everyone.
Hughie - thanks for your thoughtful words. I'm glad that the work situation is settled. Must be a weight off your mind.
Hope everyone else is grand.
I was wide awake at ten to four this morning listening to the torrential rain. I shouldn't miss any of the world cup then...

Cutting down to size is the operative word. These guys (as with the team we beat last week) have a 6ft 5in Aussie shooter. Poor ole 6ft1in me really has his work cut out - especially if he's learnt anything since the last time (last time my superior knowledge, experience and sneaky-ness was just enough to counteract his superior speed and height).

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
I think any elderly people watching the Ireland match could have had heart attacks.( if you were watching,I hope you're alright Gibbo! ) How we escaped without conceding,I will never know. Some positives are Dunne was great as was Shay. The midfield still seems to lack power to win ball and skill to execute attacks with the limited ball we have. Stephen Ward needs to learn how to track back!

Ireland were dreadful to watch today. No way do I believe they played for the win today. That is so tough to watch.

Because we're Irish and in our minds, we believe we have no choice to do anything else.

Trapattoni is celebrating another 0-0 draw then? And I don't say that with any irony; I genuinely believe he is celebrating!

This will delight Gibbo, but I really believe we need to bring a Dutch manager in.

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
I wouldn't be surprised. I wasn't around for the Charlton days but I hope we weren't that negative. Munsty,why Dutch? I think we need a manger who can get these players performing at a level they are capable of. (I think we're underperforming.) Out of coaches available van Gaal might be an option. He is Dutch too!

Just stereotyping Thomond but in general they like their teams to play with the ball in a positive manner and most speak English to a very high standard.

Van Basten is available too I think. Rafa Benitez and of course Roy Keane( he may be going to Iceland though)
Also isn't it kind of unusual that Ireland's soccer and rugby teams face similar problems?

I don't think our rugby teams problem is that they have a negative gameplan.

Re: The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
There was one play that summed it up for me today.
Robbie Keane picked up the ball just inside the opposition half with quite a bit of room in front of him. He moved slowly while gesticulating to his team mates where to go. He slowly moved forward to the point where he passed the ball then walked slowly into the box with his back to the wall.
It just feels like the passion of this team has been ripped out.
