The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Mon 21 Nov 2011, 4:23 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 pictures of Rhys Priestland, Cian Healy, or the special one of Charlize Theron and Gibbo above the bar!

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

Ale

Nah Oz - heading into work in the morning to clear up stuff before Dubai. Then off to The Wheatsheaf in Ealing for the Baa Baas game followed by Saints v Sarries. I suspect the latter game might be a tad tedious.

I hope you see a good game. What with your suspensions and our injuries (losing Chris Bell is a blow as he's been very good this season) it will be interesting to see some new combos being tried. Waldouck and Daly in the centre could cause havoc for us. However, our poor discipline will most likely see us defeated by the howitzer boot of Homer. Sad

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 6:28 pm

Yeah, neither of us have first choice backlines out, so will be interesting to see how it goes. I think we need to get ahead, as Simpson could be a danger off the bench for you late on.

Evening all.

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:20 pm

Hoi! It's Ulster! It's highly intelligent soup!

Very Happy

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:20 pm

Good Hobo, you?

Tense start to the...

Oh Flip!

by Adam D Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:22 pm

Hi Glas.

Got some potentially exciting news - the forum might be getting a mention in the Daily Mail tomorrow. Thanks to a member on here, a journalist called me up to comment on the RFU debacle.

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:28 pm

Ooh! Is it about house prices in Twickenham?

by Adam D Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:30 pm

I told him that Rb Andrew wasnt to blame. It was the immigrants and Lady Di in cahoots that was responsible for the England teams failings in NZ.

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:39 pm

I bet that journos check places like this out all the time. Tell him to stick to the pub, he'll be fine thumbsup

That's good PR though, even if it is the Daily Mail.

by Guest Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:40 pm

evening guys

by prop_lyd Fri 25 Nov 2011, 7:51 pm

Still a mention!! Just did nachos and now it's time for resivoir dogs (never seen it) and chilli!! And the start of my alcohol free weekend!!

And me Irish mate here in the pub offered me congratulations on getting the job of England rugby manager. I told him "You're wrong Pat, Mickey Mouse has landed that gig."

Jeebus, what a feicen shambles the RFU are mad

.

Just a personal view but Andrew is clinging on because he knows he won't get another job in rugby. He's basically forcing a compensation case by claiming he is not responsible (continuously trotting out his exact remit), thus leading to a claim of unfair dismissal if he is pushed.

His describing his involvement with the England 1st team as 20% of his job beggars belief. That it might be, but it's 90%+ of the public's and media's focus.

Right, I'm off to spontaneously combust.

Lt. Colonel Hound of Harrow, and disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

The power of the people is to strike. Boycot the national anthem at the Wales and Ireland games in the 6 Nations. A silent protest. Advertise it well in advance. Ok they will blast the choir out but the TV cameras will pick out tight lipped White shirted supporters. Then when the game starts make MORE noise than usual to show your support for the players.

Ask Hobo to sort it, he's good at that sort of thing.

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:04 pm

Evenin (again).

Just watching the East meets West derby.

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:11 pm

So, how are you Cari?

I'm fine, Cari. Bit tired after this new commuting business, but the weekend will be a good opportunity to recharge the batteries.

ah that's good. enjoying this match?

Well, it passes the time, being as there's no one to talk to here...

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:13 pm

I'm in and out like. Rava and Gibbo continue their 'Bromance in Belfast'.

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:19 pm

You not at the game Glas?

by **Notch** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:20 pm

Pretty awful first half from Ulster. Loads of handling errors within touching distance of the glasgow line, lost lineouts etc. and Humphreys has just shanked an easy enough penalty well wide. Very wet conditions.

Glasgow lead 9-3 at half-time. Pretty brutal game of rugby.

I'm on call. Erm

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 25 Nov 2011, 8:55 pm

Hi Cari - the phone was on charge an inaccessible so I couldn't post. How was you're first week in the new job? I hope you're enjoying it.

My mate is watching the derby in the pub in Ealing. He rackons several Dragons players are playing well, despite them being 19-9 down when he last texted me.

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:02 pm

Evening all,
How's things with the new job Cari, apart from the bus ride Wink

Watching Stade francais leading USAP in Perpgnan by 20-14 atm

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:04 pm

Hook converts,20-16

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:07 pm

The Dragons discipline seemed to let them down towards the end. I wasn't paying much attention to be honest though, as I was emailing someone at the same time, but their no.8 went into the bin and they gave away a couple of penalties towards the end. They also missed out on the LBP.

Works is going very well. I seemed to have picked things up quickly which is good, and the locals are a sound bunch. The commute's not so bad really - as you's expect travelling in a city at seven in the morning and half four in the afternoon.

How's Hook doing tonight Chef?

by **Notch** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:16 pm

Glasgow 17-9 up with a minute to go- Ulster are going to leave with nothing in a game they've dominated! steam

Humphreys placekicking.... I swear to God.

by **Notch** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:18 pm

I've seen us throw away a lot of games. But I have no idea how we figured out how to lose that one.

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:19 pm

Nice to hear you're doing ok in the new job Cari. Hard luck Dragons, and well done Scarlets.

Do the Welsh regs (or anyone else) think we are going to see a win v Aus, and a successful 6N?

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:20 pm

Shame about the result Notch. Glas will be gutted...

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:20 pm

Hook is pretty anonymous, in an insipid USAP team;he missed an easy penalty,but I don't think that will change the result.10 mins to go, USAP down to 14 men and 12 points behind.

by Cari Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:22 pm

Harrow - thanks. I don't know if Wales will beat Oz...how are Oz these days? I think we should have a decent Six Nations - I reckon Wales could reach the top spot on the table Smile

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:24 pm

and another try for Paris,try bonus,35-16, final score.Very poor Perpignan performance;no excuses, only one player,Marty, missing from the squad;work to be done if they are to remain in the Top14.

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:33 pm

Following the score update on BBC, looks like the Chief

are making a remarkable comeback.

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:38 pm

Last minute try to win the game Chef, Asbo will be chuffed.

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:41 pm

Ah balls. My confident prediction was based on a good display by Humphries.

No calls yet. What are the naughty boys playing at? I bet they are planning to get arrested at 2.30am

Doh

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:44 pm

Yeh,Pete,that puts them up into 3rd place in the jeff;ok the others have still to play, but bragging rights etc Very Happy

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:47 pm

Cari - I told some mates who like a bet to put money on Wales for the 6N.

The players have brought back the positives fom NZ.

by red_stag Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:48 pm

Hound and other regs,

Do you think that Wales v Australia game in December, will give the Welsh an advantage.

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:50 pm

Worcester beat Bath, who fail to even get a losing bonus point. Great result for the Warriors, who push Leicester into 11th place in the table. They really have to win tomorrow at Kingsholm.

by prop_lyd Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:50 pm

Time for pulp fiction!!!! Never seen either of the films tonight so really looking forward to this!!

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 9:58 pm

If you enjoyed Reservoir Dogs, you'll love Pulp Fiction,Travolta is soooooo drole.

by Glas a du Fri 25 Nov 2011, 10:00 pm

Any of you Flip Tinkywinky move and I'll execute every mother Flip last one of you!

by Mick(TEFC) Fri 25 Nov 2011, 10:04 pm

Toulon are freeing Rory Lamont, and more surprisingly, Willie Mason who has not made the cross over from league like SBW did at RCT.Wonder where he'll end up?

by WillyGilly Fri 25 Nov 2011, 10:07 pm

Who gives a monkey's about the league. Heineken Cup is where it's at.
