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 picture of Maxime Medard* above the bar!


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

* While the other suggestion of Owens, Thomas and Hughie had merit, I couldn't face having Hughie's mug on the wall

Green Dragon Award, Dreamer? We worked towards that last year and got awarded it the week before Christmas!

I don't want to say it was all down to me, but yeah, it was all down to me.

Puma,
Your fella's pizza is my Mo's Sheperds Pie. I want it as my last meal.

"Dead Man Walkin"

To Sheperds Pie.

Evening all. Just watching Billy Connolly in Nova Scotia. Lots of "I've been there" moments, amongst some great scenery

Don't be impatient now, wait for de muddy scene

That scene I slowed down 3 times?

Ok man. Tanks.

I felt the ref should have stepped in - defo some unnecessary rubbing towards the end there

As,
Just de man to ask this question.

Do you think that a posh English Tory boy, is going to help his cause any, by giving Scotland an ultimatum, on voting for its own Independence?


Is there History there, or something?

Just askin.

Gibbo,

Did you see this?

So sad!

I've decided to set up Netflix. I know MickyT was asking about it earlier. Anyone else used it?

What is your download speed ?

Not really sure to be honest

I did MrsP. I knew it was happening. If I could have afforded it, Id have been to Ulster like a light and going to it. His (well off) friends were there to ease the pain.
It was necessary. He must not go totally reclusive. Theirin lies danger.

I love the way he always protects those he loves...

Some of the nasty tabloid papers tried to misconstrue and blacken it... But.

He loved them both.

He's a cantankerous aul phhoker. A perfectionist. But he always minds those he loves. And protects them like a demon. I can relate to that.

I think this defines it.

Gigabytes per nutrino. I get responses before they are typed.

Cant believe the ISP delivered speeds in the UK - and as for Ireland. Soooo slow.

Stag I think you would struggle with Netflix if that is your normal download speed but speed tests need to be performed at different times of the day.

Does Youtube work fine for you or is it slow loading.

See. Thats you. Do you give lessons?

Jeez Prop. First Ulster now De Dam. Hope you don't let us down man

Stag,I will probably give it a lash in a minute. I have no problem when streaming games or watching tv or anything so I should be fine.

It is a funny one, Gib, it's amusing that Bullingdon Boy thinks that he can bully Salmond, one of the canniest politicians around, into a timetable that suits him - think there's only one way this can go

Morning all, &

Hi all early morning question. Would you rather watch your team playing on tv or go to see two neutral team play?

Rava wrote:Jeez Prop. First Ulster now De Dam. Hope you don't let us down man

It may take me a while but I'll get to both!!

Stag: personally I'd prefer to go to a match, prefer the atmosphere etc. Although, if it was a big Glos match then I would head to the tv if I couldn't make it!

Morning all, quite happy i'm up and working already, means I get to finish earlier

red_stag wrote:Hi all early morning question. Would you rather watch your team playing on tv or go to see two neutral team play?

Personally I'd rather watch Bath than anyone, but then again I love watching rugby more than anything else.......

There's only one way to sort this out...... FIGHT!!!!

OK, and my answer is.... go to watch 2 neutrals play.

My team on TV. And another thing, there is no such thing as two neutral teams, I will always choose sides.

Mornin.
Ive had enough of watching neutrals live, this (last) year. If my team are not playing, Im not orsed really.
I will however, watch any game I can get, via streaming. Anything. Jeff, PRO12 and TOP 14.

As,
That's what I thought bud. And Cameron is no Thatcher. No contest.

Keep the faith. And the oil.

Me too, except for maybe if Tigers are playing Saints in which case it's a real dilemma as they can't both lose.

Glas a du wrote:My team on TV. And another thing, there is no such thing as two neutral teams, I will always choose sides.

Yea I agree with that.

Lets talk in specifics: Munster v Castres kicks off at same time as Toulouse v Connacht. I can watch Munster play on tv in an Irish bar in France, or I can go to Toulouse v Connacht.

How often would you get to go and watch Toulouse live at home?

That's too big a game to miss Stag, pub and the boys in red - has to be.

PJHolybloke wrote:That's too big a game to miss Stag, pub and the boys in red - has to be.

Half of me is thinking this. Big HEC match could define Munsters season.

prop_lyd wrote:How often would you get to go and watch Toulouse live at home?

The other half of me is thinking this. Why fly all the way to Toulouse and not go to the match.

Hmmmm, a tough one indeed Stag, but IF Bath were in Munster's shoes it would be no contest - even though Connacht are my "second team" - if Munster take all 5 points against Castres a home QF is within reach, statistically speaking, that gives Munster a good shout for a SF place and anything can happen from there.

Pub & TV for me, but ultimately only you will know which is the right choice, maybe it's just a bit early for making the decision?

Can't you get someone to record the Munster game and watch it afterwards, thus taking in both?

Capital idea!!

ha nice one Lucky! We're already level 2, aiming for level 3 this year.

And bore da/good morning all.


Stag - part of me says for you to really go to the Tolouse game but I know if I was in your position and the Scarlets were the one on tv....I'd be very, very tempted to stay in the pub. Maybe go watch Tolouse and make sure you get good updates on your phone??

More information required:
Is the match ticket free?
What's the price of pints (a) at the ground and (b) at the pub?
Can you record the Munster match for later viewing? -Edit - too slow typing, Asbo beat me to that one

The cost and beer quality factors do need to be included in consideration
