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?

A win is a win is a win as they say, ugly or otherwise. I'm guessing at this stage all 8 teams would take a dour 6-5 win over an exciting 49-50 loss.

Am half an hour into the Ulster game and it's not been pretty for sure. Ulster seem to be lacking a bit of drive and intensity, Treviso really dictating the game. Not seen Ulster this subdued at Ravebhill before. Tactical kicking from the Treviso 10 has been excellent with the exception of a bit of ariel ping pong in the opening 5 minutes.

Right,

Off to bed.

I probably won't be in here till it's all over so I just wanted to say all the best to everyone.

Just, whoever wins, use it!

General consensus here is that we need the Saffers to lose tomorrow to get Johann back to whip these boys into to shape.

Damn you PDV!

Wouldn't disagree Willie. Come On Aussies!!

Corals, much to my surprise have Australia as marginal favourites if that's of any comfort to the Ulstermen in here.

Thanks Pete, but sure you're practically an honoury Ulsterman yourself

I'd be behind Ulster against anyone other than London Irish Rava

Well obviously, we'll be taking things one game at a time and would be over the moon with getting result Brian

Am debating kipping on the sofa, so as not to wake the girlies for the early game in the morning.

Also, I know that one of the kids is in my bed with the wife, and I can't be arsed with trying to evict her because I know I will lose and will end up spending the night clinging to the edge of the bed as she is sprawled out in the middle (the child that is, not the wife!)

Stay up Pete, not worth the hassel going to bed.

Oh man I remember those days/nights. Precious times. So precious. Savour them to the max.

I envy you man. Wanna be a Granda. Sooooo bad. Im actually thinking of taking on the sons GF while hes away like.

I actually suggested this to them whilst we were all ver ver drunk.... And they both laughed... for like - ages, yeah. Really funny?

Must have been nervous tension,. That'll be it.

Sure she's pining for you really Gibbo

Been up and kissed all their little foreheads, have grabbed a pillow and blanket and now on the sofa watching an old edition of never mind the buzzcocks hosted by Terry Wogan. Cracks me up that old fella, almost as much as Gibbo

I'm absolutely gutted. I was going to bed early but the tw@t next door has been playing his music again. Last weekend he kept me up until twenty to three in the morning. I've reported him now anyway. I'm sick of ignorant sh*ts like him.

Ah Cari, come and chill in here with me an' the aul fellas.

I am lucky, I have really nice neighbours, can't imagine what living next to an bumhole is like......


maybe I should ask my neighbours!

Pete. Generally my neighbours are all right. Obviously this buerk isn't a rugby fan. I just can't believe the pig ignorance of people. It's fecking midnight FFS!

Love this song....

Ah your alright Pete.

Cari, borrow some woolly jumpers from Glas

I didn't want Gibbo to feel lonely Rava so lumped you in with him.

I know you're younger, there are rumours that so is Moses to be fair, so I did request Gibbo's birth certificate to check, but the postage costs on chiselled blocks is ridiculous so I left it at that!

Oh Im deeply wounded now. I mean. I can take John Denver or Jerry Springer. And I'll always love MrsP for Kenneth Brannagh. But Terry de phhkin West-Brit-pathetic Waterford gobshite... phhokin Wogan?!

I hate you Pete. Ex-mate. And its official.
So there Copper. Don't wreck me buzz roi? Put that in yer truncheon and ... em ... well... or else... a packet of Kings Crisps. And fast yeah?












P.S. I love you. Ya Dragon bollixX.

Don't you just love it when Gibbo gives out. You just know he doesn't mean it

Gibbo, Alexander the Great had conquered most of the known world by the time he was 25.
Does that mean we are phooked or is there still time to discover Australia in 2013.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!!



Love ya Gibbo

Believe!!!

I suspect he'll give out thoroughly if our boys in green don't turn up later on. Not that that's going to happen. Ireland by 14.

Turns out the guy who bought us all a shot was one of the players fathers as yet unable to asertain who's. Debating the merits of heading for a few hours kip/doing my bit for the big society and helping some old fogies through the night.

By that I meant you guys but you got that right?

That's it Rav. This Plod is goin down, roysh. I will not rest.(well maybe for a bit) Until he drops the illusion, roysh. I.E. He portrays himself as a stunning geezer. Daddy, husband AND wife... BUT he is an Oscifer in The Queens own Met. I mean. Well dodgy.

Its a Nazzi.
Ande so much more worser than that... ageist! I dunno Standards these days, eh Rav?
I watch TV. There is money in this. Say nuthin mo chara.

In my day, they'd be lined up against the wall and... harumph harumph

Got it thanks Willy.

For sure it was in black and white in your day Gibbo.


Do you know it's just about 2 years next Friday that I fell for ye in Kiely's me aul mate, t'was love at first pint!

Looks like I'm in for another long night then

Cari, I know your'e a Welsh rarebit like but your'e a bit Oirish now with your liaisons with our Rugby stars. I'm doing a wee bit of entertainin over in this gaff. Come and join me

https://www.606v2.com/t15621p50-will-home-advantage-make-any-difference-to-ireland#559209

ah, I'll leave you guys to it.

Good night all.

Cari just think. Over in NZ our collective boys will have breakfasted well (the welsh boys will all have hurled theirs up due to nerves of course) and gone for a small stroll in the fresh air already thoroughly pumped for tonight's game.

Personally I have a bottle of cider in the fridge and my Irish jersey ready to don at 5:59.

Ireland & England wins tomorrow. Praise me or hang me, when they are both over. It's meant to be. Me? Id rather the French. Weird logic. But ripe.

Nice thought Willy. The din continues...fairdo's the environmental health people came out but there's not much they can do cause they can't pinpoint which house it is. Oh well, I'm hoping I'll nod off on the sofa here.

Golden Generation?

I've been thinkin of a...

This is what supporting Ireland for 40 years has been like.

That's for BOD.

Believe.

Sheesh! This is a ridiculous time of the morning to be awake! Thanks to the noisy people who can't go home quietly after a night out

Cari, you have my sympathy!

Think I'll take my and go curl up in a comfy chair in the snug.

Ah sure have a Swanny mate.

Cant sleep now Gibbo. Are we there yet?

Come on Ireland smash those Welsh 2@s!!!!

Buzzing already Gibbo

Me too bud. Drank all the wine. Feelin fine.

No sleep till Victory. and a wee drop.

I'm on my way out the door,.headed to Richmond for pints, listening to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, seems sort of apt.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcbAibPA2yY&feature=youtube_gdata_player


Come on Ireland!!!!

Go Hughie. You believed.

Listening to that tune again, forgotten how good it was

I'm playing it now Hughie, fantastic tune!

I love when you go back to an album you've not listened to in ages and realise how good they actually are


Rocking tune


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkGjvhldQZ8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Anyone know of a McDs in Richmond

I'm awake. Nerves are incredible. THink I'm going to scrap my ideas of going to the pub, just need to focus so much on the game, so staying in the flat it is for me.

Good Luck to everyone for todays matches but please oh please, c'mon Wales!!
