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 collage of great current props' pictures on the bar. We've got Castrogiovanni, Hika Reid, The Beast, Colin Windon, the Franks brothers, Mas, Tonga'uiha, Roncero, Cian Healey (as demanded by Hughie), Stevens, Murray, Mike Ross, Adam Jones and Steenkamp all in action. Graffiti's a banning offence

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

Ale

This is awful stuff there. Knock-ons all over the shop. Very little composure on the ball.

Why would we want to kick down the throat of Chavanga of all people? Come on Ulster...

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:21 am

Yeah, come on Ulster, I don't want the supporters badge of a rubbish team.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:22 am

Ah yes! I found that. I was going to send you it, but I thought I would go and dig into my collection of programmes from Ulster games and send a few of the Ulster vs Scarlets ones.

Riley, Riley, Riley

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:28 am

This is a ludicrously poor game so far!

High penalty count, high error count. Unimpressive Ulster.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:28 am

Oh dear, it's catching.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:29 am

Jackson is class fair play.

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:30 am

The Jeff has a guest referee arrangement, and we can have French, and SH refs now and again. I'm all for that - all parties learn something about each other.

Enjoy the game folks.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:30 am

And now a man in the bin. What a nightmare of a game for Ulster so far! Clumsy and careless from Spence, can hardly complain.

by Suspicious lurker Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:30 am

That was an..............interesting tackle

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:31 am

Bit flipping harsh, Dragons botched that and that's a good result for them.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:33 am

Cmon Ulster mun! Riley is pants!

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:34 am

Jackson! Dragons in disarray, oh no!

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:35 am

I've jinxed the little Ginger boy.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:38 am

He is a little boy Glas, I mean he's so talented but anything he shows is a bonus. He's about a year out of school, playing outside one of the less capable 9s in the league and inside another young player. It's all experience in the bank.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:40 am

He's got that spark Notch, exciting prospect.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:41 am

He's a sort of 'Welsh style' 10, isn't he? Smile

He needs gametime and he's getting it. But while our kids are out learning the game is getting away. We need to get something before halftime but we're playing very poorly. Not optimistic at this stage.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:45 am

Now Jason Tovey, he's developing into a very good 10.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:47 am

Our penalty count...

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:48 am

I don't know Notch, I think the Dragons are more than capable of throwing this away. Tovey is class, in the Paul Turner mould, very good, but not quite good enough.

by Guest Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:54 am

Notch wrote:Now Jason Tovey, he's developing into a very good 10.

He's controlling things quite nicely. Few iffy passes that Ash Smith won't have appreciated.

Attendance isn't too bad in the end for what the game is (absentees etc). Certainly pleased enough with this lead at HT.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:55 am

Well Glas... we lack intensity, we lack physicality, we're making poor decisions and unforced errors, we're playing as individuals and our tight five seem to be here as spectators. But apart from that man, we are right in this game! Whistle

Ah well. Being a rugby fan isn't always about winning and all the glory... sometimes your team just plays poorly and you have to take your medicine. So I'll sit here with all my Welsh friends and take my medicine whilst Ulster try and figure out what we are meant to with the ball and how to get it.

Here's to the second-half comeback thumbsup

birthday lunch, but I have to drive.

What have I beenreading about Nige? Apparently he made a few doubtful choices this morning;any news?

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:04 am

Ospreys lead Connacht 10 - 7. No blydi score updates on Scrum V. Disgraceful.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:06 am

Notch you forgot 'couldn't score in a brothel'. Any pro 12 side should score from such a clean break.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:07 am

Aw man, our play got so lateral there. What's wrong with our pack? Jeez.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:07 am

Dirksen in under the posts for the O's. 17 - 7.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:10 am

Ian Porter instantly looks twice the scrum-half Marshall is.

by Glas a du Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:11 am

Hey Notch, I'm reading in the farming press that Rhianna was filming in a field in Ulster in her bikini and the farmer told her to get her kit on! He was a DUP Alderman apparently.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:12 am

Connacht get a penalty 17 - 10. The Scrum V score shown was way off.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:12 am

Hahaha yeah. Prudish farmer meets pop star and global sex symbol. Would have loved to listen in on that conversation.

by Cymroglan Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:15 am

Fair play to the boy it's his field.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:16 am

To be fair to the farmer, I think that was a bit of a provocative stunt by the video producers - the guy has a bible quote painted in big letters on the side of a nearby barn...surely that would've told them something about the land owner...?

HT 17 - 10 to Ospreys.

by Mick(TEFC) Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:16 am

Read that yesterday,Glas;but I still don't know who Rhianna is(apart from a FMac song.
SUA lead at USAP

after the Vanish ad

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:20 am

Yeah, it was slightly crass. Funny because I've never heard of the management of an international pop star be in any way crass before Whistle

They contacted him to hire his field, didn't tell him what they were using it for; he politely objected and they agreeably desisted. Bit of a non-story. They get lots of shots of Rihanna in her controversially and agreeably sparse outfit in the local press ahead of her big gig in Belfast and he gets the chance to pontificate in the very same press. Everybody wins, but it's a bit of a non-story.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:22 am

She has to get her kit off cause her voice is absolutely grating. Whoever said she could sing must've been hard of hearing or thinking with his d*ck at the time. I wish she'd spell her name properly as well - it's a Welsh name - Rhianydd. Smile

by Cymroglan Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:26 am

Simon Cowell doesn't have one

ALLEZ Agen Chef

!!!

They've had a good start to the season.

Should be watching a T14 game on the box at the 'Sheaf after Glaws v LI tomorrow.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:35 am

Ooh, best move from Ulster all night but what will the replay show us? I think he's in touch.

Only another woman could get away with saying that. Brilliant. All true. coffee

Watching Dragons v Ulster. Looks scrappy. Just tuned in to Scrum 5. Lots of young lads out there. Thinking long-term... this is fantastic experience for them all.

Shheet. Hope Tovey is ok.
Ah good - he's grand. The belt of a wet sponge works wonders. guinness

Evenin all.

TRY!?

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:37 am

Howya Gibbo guinness

I'm multi tasking - got the dragons game on the telly and the O's game on the net via Galway Radio...although their idea of half time is going on for quite some time so they can chat about the local hurling.... Whistle

I think that's what we've got to do I mean- such a young side. So many guys between 20-22. First half was utterly diabolical from us. Now we're playing a little better but it just doesn't feel like our night.

by Mick(TEFC) Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:39 am

wotcha,Gibbs,
Watching Agen who lead 19-12 with
12 to go

by Guest Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:39 am

It looked like Tovey was in a bit of grief. Glad he's alright.

Hope Ash is now.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:40 am

I think it's safe to say that the Connacht match is no longer of interest on Galway Radio....bummer.

by Gibson Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:42 am

Hoi Chef! Ouw arrrrr oooh mon chere? Ale

That's strange/coincidence. Been wearing my stylish Agen shirt today. Its class.

Allez Agen!

Love that place.

by Cari Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:43 am

OK the rugby's back on the radio, just in time to hear Gough get a yellow. FFS.
