The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Sun 27 Nov 2011, 7:33 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

Munster Drop Goals

Reds

Stags

Foxes

I think the Munster Scarlets has a nice ring to it. I think we'd get good money from that West Wales superclub as the word Scarlets will end up being synomous with winning rugby.

I almost spat out my hot chocolate reading that Stag!

by Glas a du Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:08 pm

It's OK Dreamer for 'winning' see 'not risking losing' the Scarlets tag will never catch on over there.

You know that 'respectful silence' they go on about at Thomond Park? That's not respectful silence at all, it's just that everyone's fallen asleep. The ref blows his whistle and it wakes them all up.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:10 pm

Ah it will. Even when playing for Ireland, Munster players feel the need to wear red and get red in the face (see photo)

Ha! True, true Glas.

And it'll survive Stag, just about anyways....

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:17 pm

Afternoon all.

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow. have a wee bit of a cold that isn't shifting though.

any see this?

Priceless

by Thomond Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:18 pm

We were the most successful Irish side for the last 10 years you can't ask for much more than that.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:19 pm

I saw it Micky - its excellent.

I think I'll take the whiskey route myself on Friday Micky. Keep the beer til Saturday. Very Happy

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:20 pm

are you going to do some of the 12 pubs of christmas with us Stag?

if you are, then you won't be on the beer for long.

each person has a pub where they pick a rule.

could be:

Irish drinks only.
cocktails
only drink with left hand
only drink through a straw

get involved

We can ALWAYS ask for more. Questions and asking are at the forefront of Munster success.

An opposition coach questions us, we get fired up. We ask more of our fans - we are still bringing in 25,000 fans for every HEC match. We question the ref. . . .we get away with murder.

Long may it continue.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:23 pm

Ah hadn't done it before Micky. I am thinking of partaking - funds will be the only issue. 12 drinks = about €60 Shocked

by Thomond Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:24 pm

Stag, that was aimed at the people taking us down a peg. Tis just jealousy. The day you/your team doesn't strive for perfection you know you're done.

by Rava Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:25 pm

Dreamer/Glas, do you think Scarlets see this game against Ulster as more of a distraction and that they have their focus on the HC back to backs against Munster. I get the impression from the website the only thing on their minds is
the game next week. They even have a countdown clock going on the home page.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:28 pm

Rava, thats how we all see the Pro 12 matches Smile

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:29 pm

ha. twelve drinks of normal porportion would be. cocktails slightly more. Smile

but sure we are starting at 2pm anyway so I think the plan is to meet us just for a few pints at some point. so it will be grand to do your know own thing chief.

Glas a du wrote:That's the Blues' best side from the players available though. Why not play your HC team for an hour and then pull the cast iron starters off? Keep the intensity up?

Fitzgerald has played every match this season so was due a rest. If we empty our bench we pretty much have our best side on the pitch, which I fully expect us to do around the 60 min mark.

by Rava Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:31 pm

Mick/Micky I'm glad I have chosen to be a Leinstuur supporter tomorrow night.

Micky I've a cold as well. Looking forward to the hot whiskeys with ye.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:33 pm

Question: are we all wearing Santa hats to the pub?

In December I always wear Santa hats to Munster matches.

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:36 pm

I am happy with that Leinster team/squad to be honest. as Mickado said, we can pull from experience if we need to. and we might need to alright.

Rava, looking forward to seeing you again too pal.

I am heading straight in from work (the brother is dropping me and Eoin in) so I am hoping to be in the supporters bar about 7 and we can try catch that first half pal.

Think Mickado is as flexible as a russian gymnast due to him finishing early so I reckon it can be a good meeting point if you want to let the aul fella Gibbo know the POA.

Stag, you won't be up for the match sure you won't?

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:45 pm

Yea the match is a non runner. We arrive in Heuston at 9.20 (will you be in Cassidys at that stage). Ideally we can dump a bag or two at Micks gaff and then Cassidys for celebrations of a Leinster win.

by PenfroPete Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:47 pm

STAG - you have PM and email

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 1:50 pm

Oh So Mickado is going back to his after the game then?? ok it will probably be 11 by the time you get in to us so.

the match is at 5 past 8. so won't be in there half 9 or so.

He said to me that we can meet up with him and fire the bags into his gaff, He said he lives 10 mins from Cassidys? How will it be 11pm

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 2:05 pm

ah right. thought he was that bit further. away. but he knows his house so all gravy..

we will probably get a taxi after the game to cassidys so I would say we can drop him off somewhere or where ever is handiest and head on up from there..

Dying for tomorrow so. long tough week. few beers will be swell in good company

by Mickado Thu 01 Dec 2011, 2:08 pm

It's only 10/15 mins in a cab. Or a bus would take us the exact same route. Sure we can play it by beer.

by mickyt Thu 01 Dec 2011, 2:14 pm

mmmm beer

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 2:29 pm

Taxi it is Mick.

by Mickado Thu 01 Dec 2011, 2:32 pm

Hang on a second! Flexible as a russian gymnast?

I wish.

I was once on a first date with a girl and she done the crab walk (you know where you lie on your back and go on all 4s?), epic. She wasn't Russian, but i was, soon after.

Seriously Stag, Bristol's a good place for a rugby tour!

central chambers is, well was, a barristers Chambers in the middle of town. Very intersting as you studied law and all that.

by red_stag Thu 01 Dec 2011, 3:01 pm

Bristol definitely is. Its on our radar.

Any pub on Stapleton Road in Easton / Eastville is well worth a visit. A really nice, friendly, safe part of the city.

No I don't think we are. I think we'd much rather be able to play you with a full strenght side though as ideal preperation for the match agains Munster the week after. If you watch the interview with Nigel Davies and Jonathan Edwards, even though the interviewer keeps asking them about Munster, they are fully focused on Ulster first, talking about taking it all one day at a time. Think Nige raises a valid point about getting the players mentally prepared for it though, especially after we had such a big game against Saints. It was something we struggled with against the Dragons.

We have a countdown clock on our homepage and all the promotion stuff for the Munster match because it's for our next home game Smile

No, blydi beardedtits and their binoculars. Once people are looked after then we can worry about blydi birds right!

Whistle

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 01 Dec 2011, 3:22 pm

Be very careful, Glas. I have some powerful friends in the avian world. A few calls and I could have your house divebombed like that.

Doesn't sound good at all does it?

Was reading a blog on it the other day on the Guardian website, looks like all the talk from idiot Cameron about them being the greenest government ever is a load of crap (but then we all knew that anyway).

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/dec/01/george-osborne-greener-bolder-alternative
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/nov/30/green-policies-blue-rinse-allegra-stratton?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487

These two articles are pretty interesting and pretty damning on Osbourne, can't find the link to the other one that really tore into him though! Will keep searching....

by Glas a du Thu 01 Dec 2011, 3:30 pm

Don't worry Lucky, my wife's into Falconry. We need little birds and mice and stuff for them to eat.
