The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:48 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 collage of pub regulars. We've got the big group pic from the HEC final in Cardiff, plus insets of ll those who couldn't make it

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

Ale

Thomond wrote:Stag, I can see where Rodders is coming from. I saw a documentary the other day about Kurt Warner a legendary QB. As his career was winding down,he signed to the New York Giants as a backup. The Giants had a rookie at QB named Eli Manning. In one game Manning ended up throwing 4 interceptions whereby Warner was thrust into action. After the game Warner criticised the Coach of the Giants saying Eli would never develop if he didn't learn from his mistakes. Manning remained starter for that season and won the Superbowl 3 years later.

Different sports but is it a simlar scenario?

Kurt Warner led Arizona to the Superbowl game a few years after that when there was a young quarter back behind him. Sometimes you just have to think in the now.

Excellent riposte sir.

Hope the Op went perfect man. My bestest mate in Ireland had one a while ago. He is well on the way to recovery after it. It took a while. But he's without pain now and back drinkin pints and chasing wimmin.

by littleswannygirl Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:00 am

Jeez Kenny I knew you'd had surgery, didn't realise it was a back op! Shocked

Explains why you've been in so long though, I did wonder. Large <midletonveryrare> for you, Gibbo swears it has medicinal properties Very Happy

Miss you too Gibbo Hug

by **Kenny** Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:00 am

Yep went well they shaved some bone drilled some holes and sewed me up , doc says it looks good so fingers crossed . Very Happy

by **Ozzy3213** Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:01 am

Gibbo swears that Jenno is the messiah as well though Swanny, so we're not taking everyting he says as gospel! Wink

by littleswannygirl Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:03 am

Somebody is on form tonight Very Happy

by Gibson Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:09 am

This is hilarious;

http://soundcloud.com/off-the-ball/go-on-then

Wales conniving their way to victory over 'honourable' Ireland. But the best part is, that yer Welsh one is rising to it! laughing

WUM and they go for it... very, very funny.

by Gibson Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:19 am

Jeezuz Pete man, you do long hours. You get time off for good behaviour?

by **Ozzy3213** Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:26 am

Nah, get more time off for bad Gibbo. Didn't start til lunchtime today, so not such a long shift really.

by Gibson Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:33 am

Not such a long shift? It's still 12 hours! notworthy

Love ya man. Really I hope I see you when we're over.

Nite pal, we'll make it happen. Hug

by Glas a du Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:49 pm

Bore da! Still in getting up early mode. 9am is a terrible time got a kick off. Ruins the morning. 7.30 would be perfect in my view.

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:51 pm

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

The bad thing about the 9 o'clock kick-off is that there's plenty of time between waking up and the match starting to worry about the result and what could go wrong, but not enough time to forget about it while you're doing the shopping or housework or whatever.

by Thomond Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:57 pm

When McGeady finally puts in a good cross, Ireland score. It's about time. McGeady is really awful.

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:03 pm

One for the wall (it's not that interesting):

by Guest Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:49 pm

9am is perfect, get up at 8am, have a shower, eat breakfast, then ready for the rugby. None of this getting up earlier then that nonsence.

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:58 pm

Good news, Prop - it looks like a load of us are going to make that weekend! Ale

He's got a lot of skills but hasn't really developed as a team player.

by Glas a du Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:22 pm

Oi, there's no need to go all football on us now, is there?

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:16 pm

There are a few Welsh posters outside who are absolutely overjoyed at having the opportunity to belittle English fans. They're an embarrassment. Why can't people just be happy for their own success without mocking the (relative) failure of others? I don't get it.

by Rava Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:25 pm

I am looking at the proposals for Ravenhill redevelopment. Ground capacity will be 18,000 and the target is to be fully complete by May 2014. Out for Consultant tendering at the minute. Would be great to be involved from a business and sporting perspective.

by red_stag Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:34 pm

I don't get it either Luckless. I actually nearly had a standup argument with a friend of mine who I met on Saturday afternoon rubbing his hands in glee that England were knocked out and that was "the main thing". I nearly lost it he didn't give a monkeys that Ireland lost. The mind boggles.

by red_stag Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:34 pm

Rava thats excellent have to say.

There's no rhyme or reason to it, let them get on with it.

Morning all. Rav, I thought that 20k was likely to become the threshold for staging HC QF-and-onwards matches?

by red_stag Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:44 pm

Been thinking in the last few days - do people see Sexton as a youngster?

- 24 caps for Ireland

- 26 years of age

- 2 Heineken Cup winners medals

I mean nobody says that Andrew Trimble is a kiddie and they are the same age!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:45 pm

Seems liken Trimble has been around for a lot longer tho, in a 'token' sense tho?! Wink

by red_stag Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:57 pm

The Irish team is fully of these bloody tokens it seems. Its a bit like how Scotland pick a few token players who actally play IN Scotland Smile

by Mickado Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:57 pm

Trimble made his debut in 2005, Sexton in 2009. That’s probably the only reason.

Rav, you looking to get a piece of the action on Ravers? That would be class.

Morning (just about) all. <tea>

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:58 pm

Stag, I think it's because Sexton is quite baby-faced, whereas Trimble is more horse-faced. Wink

In Scotland they pick Evans as a token creative player.

Pretty sure the 'IN Scotland' bit is superfluous!! Wink
