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 collage of the captains of the World Cup Quarter Finalists pictures on the bar. We've got Sam Warburton, Brian O'Driscoll, Lewis Moody, Thierry Dusautoir, John Smit, James Horwill, Felipe Contepomi and Richie McCaw.

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

Ha yeah, just roll out of my bed into the living room and onto the sofa make a brew first of course.

ooh a bit of a mini punch up.

just don't do what I did Cari and wear it inside out.

Really pleased and happy with Adam Warren, called in last minute to start instead of Gareth Maule and 2 tries to his name, he's played really well. Could be we've unearthed another gem. He's just got MotM on his first appearance for us, not bad!

haha I think they do actually!
Ugh its shocking I was back watching the rugby straight way

Final score 23-12. Well done Treviso. We played 10 minutes of 80 and got what we deserved. Sweet Flip all.
Treviso will cause many problems this season. Maybe a top half table finish.
Gawd we were bad. Sooooo bad

Ulster lost at home to Treviso?

Well done Scarlets. We go there in three weeks and I am not looking forward to it one little bit.

Well done Treviso!

Totally outplayed us tonight.

First ever victory against us.



But boy were we terrible for all but about 10 mins!

Fair play Treviso hopefully they can get a few points more while the big players are away.

@MBTGOG indeed they did. Poor match

Treviso have a good few of their top players away too don't they? Man, they are on the move. Good for the League.

"At the end of the day.. One team is going to lose and one team is going to win..."

You feicin genius man.

Curry, must check the Ireland soccer game. Ah it would be grand if they made it. They are shoite,.. but still.

away weren't they?

hard luck Rava


ah man, I'm so happy Scarlets got that win and stopped the rot! very VERY happy over here now

Ireland are 0-2 up!

Believe!

Gibson, its 2-0 I've a tread on it https://www.606v2.com/t15625-ireland-vs-andorra

Cheers Dreamer but this is one time we don't even deserve hard luck. I can take a loss (just). But tonight was abject.

Norn Iron are beating Estonia 1-0.
Young Steve Davis who is my mates Son-in-law captains his country for the first time on his 50th cap. Spoke to Trevor earlier and he is so proud.

Hope they get the win then Rava, that will make a great day for him

Dreamer Wales are beating Switzerland 1-0. England leading 2-1 against Montenegro.

we're winning in the football?!

that is very, very strange.

This has become a soccer thread

Curry anything goes in here. we even discuss chocolate and crisps

goodness apparently we are up 2-0! Wales, don't use up all your good fortune in one evening!!

wow here's a stat I didn't know.

8 out of Wales' 22 are under 23. That's a bit crazy.

Were as Irelands squad is the oldest at the world cup!
If Wales get another then they will have the same amount of points in 2 matchs this weekend

Norn Iron now 2-1 down. Ref waved play on even though linesman flagged the guy offside.

Pity about that, Football in the north is really falling back.

ouch, harsh Rava.

Ah man, guilty pleasure tv programme on now, Autumn Watch

Is that still going??

Evening.

Just back from a week on exercise in the field. Absolutely caked in mud. I don't think I've ever been five days without a shower, but I suprisingly don't smell too much as I was using wet wipes to "wash". Have to do it all again next week.

Looking forward to the rugby tomorrow, though I am dying for a lie in. Also very much looking forward to a day at Chepstow Races tomorrow. Limo there and back and a day in the premier enclosure suited up.

Well done Scarlets. Dragons decided to throw a lead away again

Autumn Watch?

Yep yep, on now for the next 8 weeks. Even weirder though is that Chris Packham has now been paired up again as a presenter with Michaela Stracken (I think that's her name) - I remember watching them on tv when I was about 7 on The Really Wild Show! Bit of a strange flashback to my childhood.

none of the pundits they interviewed on Sport Wales could raelly predict a winner for the match tomorrow, I really can't remember the last time a match was quite this evenly matched.

Rev - sounds like you've got a cracking day lined up for tomorrow then! Unlucky for the Dragons, I did see the final score and wondered how the game had gone.

Never really caught that bug but its an alright show.

Hoi Rev. Good to see you.

Shampoo And Shower will sort it mate.

Worst performance I've ever seen at Ravenhill from an Ulster side. No real positives. I can only compare it to the movie Space Jam, where the villains steal the talent of the Basketball stars leaving them a cruel joke of their former selves. That for me would be the best way of summarising the difference between our performance against Cardiff and that game. It was a humiliation really. A disaster.

Right I've changed my mind. I am going to try and get soem sleep tonight (due to having a shocking night's sleep last night). Will set my alarm for 5am, please whoever is up there, do not let me sleep through it!

I shall say nos da do you all now, and may pop in briefly in the morning. it's going to be a special day, one way or another

A brief an out for me.

May your teams do you proud tomorrow, win or lose

GREEN ARMY!!!

That's for Ealing (v Stourbridge) tomorrow afternoon

Enjoy!

Sounds A Solution

Early night is the best bet Dreamer aye. I will be heading soon. Very exciited about the races too. Never been before.

Night all.

Notch, so right

Hound cheers and good luck yourself.

+1

Genuinely lost for words. Treviso have denied us a losing bonus point at home. Stunned.

On parade at 5.30 am ..Night all

In a pub now (a real one) with a lot of very angry Ulster fans. Currently drinking our sorrows away. Some guy at the bar just bought everyone who was at the game a shot. Now that's what I call a lad.

Still not quite sure how to feel myself, the sambuca is helping though.

Rev,
Man. Prop loses his Page 3 status right there.

Willy; Jared Payne has tweeted "Not good news, Achilles not in one piece anymore. Season over."

Thats probably him for 12-16 months to be honest.

Oh cheers Gibbo!!! Nice to know my beauty can be replaced so easily

Just watched 'rules of attraction' odd film and abrupt ending! Off to bed now so I officially hate all you Irish untill about 8am tomorrow.....nos da!!

Saw your post Notch on the other thread. That is not good for him or the team.

We have a break now for two weeks and then Scarlets away. They got a morale boosting win tonight. If Ireland do win in the morning we will have to go there with this team. I don't have any confidence in getting a result. After that folks we are into the HC. We would need to be at the top of our game going into those our our season could effectively be over before the end of November.

It's that Fliping bad!!

Aye another lad at the bar just told us. Fecking hell. We had better whip these welsh critters tomorrow or I may sleep in the rest of the weekend for fear of getting hit by lightening.

Yea Flip Off Prop. Hate you as well ya Gloucester feicer!! Nos Da!!

Evening all

Been a blwdi long day today. Just watching the Ulster game now on the old Sky+. Not good news about Payne, hate seeing players injured.

Getting nervous for the morning now.

Oh Pete mate I think you will be OK. Trin Duc at OH and I might have gone for France but I think the England forwards MJ has chosen will do the business. Won't be pretty mind. But I'm sure you would take an ugly win just now
