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

I don't think it's a joke decision Pete.

And evening all, soooooooooo so glad it's Friday tomorrow! Out for food with some of my favourite people in the world Fri evening, then off to Y Parc with my best friend on Sat! It's going to be a brilliant weekend

The first rain in three programs!

They avoided Ravenhill and went straight to Sweden via NL. Good move lads.

This is beautiful. Mass courting. We know nowt.

Evening pub. I've no idea what's happening in rugbyland really...bit out of touch, like.

Ozzy Why is it a Joke ? was the rule not clear enough.

No, they have correctly applied their own rules. The rules are a joke, but the decision is a correct one.

What Glas said

^ - what Glas said.

Evening Cari, tis another Heineken weekend coming up! Me = excited.com! How're you??

Cari darlin, the Welsh are losing it over a player they will never play. Birds are flying the skies. They dont give a schhit. well.. maybe on our stupid, insignificant - hids. We also talked of drrink and livers...

Hows you pal?

Evening Cari, how's tricks?

Hi Dreamer. Ah yes...the Heino....that'll be the competition the O's are out of Still, Tommy's playing so that's something I guess. I'm all right. Had a mad day at work today, it went really quickly, I worked really hard but felt like I hadn't achieved anything by the end of the day - and I still hadn't finished everything. Strange! Still, I'm not complaining. Beats sitting at a desk doing naff all, and I only left ten minutes later than I should've. That's an improvement.

Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned.

Ozzy, ca va?

Is it an offence to masquerade as a Doctor and invade somebody's personal area? Just asking for a friend like.

Cari .. "Everyone ignores me!"

Take it back, barmaid of the year 2009/2010.

Yeah roysh. And this friend.. is he local?

I do it on Sat night. Nurses and Doctors. Mrs G makes a stunning bitchy Nursey.

oo but days like that in work are always good I find, they fly by! Agree with you, much more preferable then just being sat there twiddling your thumbs. You been leaving work a bit late then? do you get paid for that or can you build it in to flexi time?


and argh just been checking the 6N's schedule - Wales ahve 2 home games on a Sunday!! That's utterly awful! How can anyone plan a proper nice rugby weekend when the match is on a Sunday? I am not amused by that at all.

That's just roleplay, isn't it?

New Tricks!

I love her I do. Latent.. shes soo latent.

Better than Friday night

Anything for a change of subject eh? Gobbo?

Do you know what...I know feic all about the Shingler story only from what I can gather here which is probably inaccurate....and honestly, I'm not sure I care.

Anyhoo...

In fairness Dreamer, we haven't had a Sunday Six Nations game for a few years, so we're due one or two. But I don't like them.

This guy needs to be promoted to the very Top.

Dreamer - no, I'm on set hours now which is a bit odd to me. My manager's great though. If I'm still sat there at four, she'll ask me what bus I'm getting...otherwise I'd be there all evening! I'm getting used to the commute now. On Monday morning, I made it onto the first bus at twenty past six.

Sounds like you made a good move Cari. Nice one.

Sunday games + me = lots of trouble. I forget halfway through it's a Sunday and drink FAR too much. The Mondays are then not fun at all


6:20am?? I am not even awake then. I don't know how you do it! Tis great that your manager sounds a good 'un

uh oh. I think Monty is out of the match for Saturday (that is what the rumour mill is saying). Huge loss to us if true. Not good!

Called him back twice but he won't pick up.

I love that time of the morning Dreamer - Cardiff at it's best. No traffic, and only a few people about. Even better in the summer.

Gibbo - yeah, I think it's been for the best. Starting to get into things now...and there's eye candy in the canteen at lunchtimes too, which is a bonus.

Lovely stuff Dreamer. The best things in Life. Soak it all up. Keep the effervesence flowing, like ya do.

Gibbo, I live for my weekends, tis the only thing that gets me through the working week sometimes, so I like to make sure it's full of wonderful things!

Anyway I'm ofski.

Gibbo you should have seen me on rugby tour in my nurses outfit then penfro can validate it!!

Are you allowed to mention things like that, I thought that 'what goes on tour, stays on tour'!!

Ah MrsPenfro it doesn't matter it's about me!!

Ok. OK. Ive just seen Prop in a nurses uniform. Bugger. Thanks bud. I really needed that.

Must think of birds flying free. Must think of Earth's Wonders... Must think of Sextons 1st try in de Diff. Must not think.

To sleep, perchance not to dream.

Prop,
As your Online Attorney... dont ever call a woman a No. 2 of another woman.

You are soo phhoked lad.

DELETE!

Quick question to SG Pickers.
I normally get a confirmation email each time I make my picks. Today I didn't. Anyone else similar?

Got mine Rav Your picks are showing though

Check your spam folder?

Rava, did you hear Roger Wilson is pretty much certain to be back at Ulster next year?

Notch, yes. I'm happy enough. I've always rated him a good player. He has done it at the highest club level and will be an excellent addition to the backrow.
Could it mean Pedrie is definitely on his way?

I think thats a given. With the new NIE regime he could only have had a one year contract extension at best. It also confirms that the management see Chris Henry as an openside flanker going forward.

Evening all, don't often visit here so please be gentle

Talking of 13 for Ireland I am starting to think that it is a red herring and the main issue is at 12 as others have spoken about on other threads. I think Earls can do a good job at 13 but previously would have preferred Cave because he is more likely to be a longer term option (at least until Spence or O'Malley come through). However I am less worried about 13 now than I am about 12.

For Ulster, part of me would have liked to see Marshall and Pienar at 9 and 10 respectively but might not be a bad thing with Marshall on the bench as it looks like he is a good option to bring on if things really need shaking up.

As for the drink, I started drinking too much after the Football World Cup (I'd get home in the summer evenings and there'd be a game or 2 on so I'd have a glass(cough) of wine) and I kind of kept it as a habit. I told myself I'd slow down after the RWC but then the games were in the mornings so that didn't work. Then I decided would slow down in new year but have put that off til end of Jan now, but I swear I will slow down then. Just hope my liver isn't feiced Is it obvious I have been drinking wine again this evening?

As for Shingler have to say the rules don't really seem fair to me, do feel for the guy.

But anyway like I say good evening and apologies for barging in like this!

There isn't any restriction on contract extensions. Sure didn't Pienaar sign up to 2014 - a two year extension.
It may well be that Ulster weren't/aren't prepared to offer any more than one year.

Honey Monster, let it all go man. Its what this place is all about. Welcome sir

Oh and I meant to say Gibson am now watching Earthflight but do kinda feel like I'm cheating on Attenborough!

Irishhoney I bet you're glad to get all that off your chest

Cheers

Honey monster

Don't mention the Irish centres in here. The argument is so ludicrous it has it's own little article/playpen for us to throw our toys at each other until we get it out of our system. Just relax

And i think rightly so, we have the opportunity to replace him with an Irish player of similar quality. I think NIQs should only be signed if there isn't a better Irish player available in that position- definitely was true for Wannenburg and Danielli when they signed, but isn't any more.

I'm sad he's leaving though, I think he's made a big contribution. I hope he gets a good deal at another club.
