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 pictures of Steve Shingler, Tim Visser and Sean Maitland above the bar!


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

well not really, did you see what happened when we tried to throw the ball around yesterday? Twas like a comedy of errors ending in someone trying to kick the ball, missing, and ending flast on his arse. #shambles.

Paul Scholes comes out of retirement and will play for Man U until the end of the season!



Love that man!

Dreamer this game made for Scholes to come on and score a spectacular winner.


I hope.

Can't believe he's also on the bench. Didn't think he'd be back in straight away!

Huge game for him, but still, he's been training with the squad all season so should fit in well enough.

This is amazing.

Great win for you yesterday mate. Your boys are 100% in the mix for a Heineken Cup place next season. What an achievement that would be!!!

Twould indeed be incredible, but a season too early too, I suspect.

Just finished teaching Finn the Leinster/Ireland wrap-around move with my able assistant, Hoog - the lad makes Jonny Shexytoes look like a snail

oh wow Kompany has been red carded for a 2 footed challenge, inside 12 min! This game is going to be mental!

ah no cricket , wrap up warm and getyourself some lemsip or something.

And I'm good ta. My team won yesterday (although my club side Llandeilo didn't ) and there's a great start by Man U in le footy. happy happy!

on replays, perhaps harsh to be a red, stupid tackle though.

ah right fair enough, although i would rather city won, even though i dont support either of them.

Gasp! Why City??

I'll be recording that and watching Sherlock on BBC 1. This may interest the technically minded among us - SUBMARINE BBC2 18:00 (not on BBC2 Wales though)

Paul Scholes comes out of retirement at Manchester United
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16460340.stm

Don't they have a academy.

what, chuch a youngster in agains Man City after the way they beat us last time Cymro?! No chance!


Penfro - ah thank you, almost forgot Sherlock is on tonight, love that show.

2-0!!

3 - 0!!


This is turning out rather well so far.

Afternoon

I'm listening to Round The Horne. Way ahead of its time and very amusing Hope everyone's well and good.

Afternoon Cari, how're you?

Hey Dreamer. I'm OK. have had a wobbly few weeks to be honest, but I'll get by. Just indulging in a bit of vintage comedy before colouring my mop...the aul roots are showing. Envy your Dublin trip next month. I loved my trips there, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did being a drinker and having an international match to go to as well.

My 74 year old father is part of this trouble making mob.

Cari - . Is it the getting used to the new job that's caused the wobbles a bit? I know it can take a bit of time to settle in to a new routine etc.

Ah I need to colour my hair, my roots are starting to show too

Ah yeah the Dublin trip, keep sort of half forgetting it. The great thing is my friend is playing for the Wales womens team on the Friday I'm out there, so really going to try and get to watch her play (depending on where exactly it is she's playing, she wasn't sure on the venue!). That way I'll get to see two internationals in one weekend

Donnybrook is one of the coldest places on earth.

The job has been a welcome change actually but there's a few things going with me, though going to work helps. Anyway, I won't put a bummer on things rabbitting on about that.

I would've thought the ladies game will be in someone's back garden nearby...

Ah no bummer at all Cari, if you need to offload or anything, you know where we are, tis part of what this pub is for

ha aye, it might very well be, although did you know all the Womens home game's are being played int he Millenium? think they are all taking place before the mens fixtures, so hopefully people will go in early to watch them play.

RD according to this Ashbourne RFC in Meath is their home for the tournament.
http://www.irishrugby.ie/women/25147.php

Ashbourne is about 12 miles from Dublin city center.

Diolch Cymro! Will have to have a look into seeing if I can make it out there, sounds like I should be able too, that's not too far.

Will you be there in time ? it's on the Friday
Friday, February 3: Ireland v Wales, Ashbourne RFC, 7.30pm

That's a very good idea from the WRU for a change! In the past they've usually played them elsewhere in a smaller venue like the Arms Park or something so they don't get much publicity.

Righto, RTH has finished...the bathroom beckons...

Yeah I arrive in Dublin on Thursday the 2nd, Cymro

Cari - yeah tis fab isn't it? think it's a great idea to increase the profile in the game, really hope lots of people turn up for them

Is Priestland playing?

let it go mun!

Good point it's on classic Pete

Diolch

Afternoon all, great night out last night!! And we've just cleaned the whole house so looking forward to a well deserved rest this evening!!

I see United got into the ref's pocket again. The worst decision I have seen at pro level in a while but not really surprising. Jones handballed it at one stage too. Turning to Scholes shows Fergie's complete lack of belief in Gibson, Anderson et al.

So it's ok for Irishmen to criticise the ref if it's football

Dreamer

Different sports Glas. Completely different, a ref can have a far greater bearing on a football match.

That's ok then
