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 Denis Hickie, Shane Horgan, Ben Morgan and Selorm Kuadey above the bar!

Ah sorry lads!

Sure you're only young once.

Unless you're Gibbo!

Anyone heading to the Europa tomorrow?

What's going down at the Europa?

The Ulster vs Clermont game is on the big screen Willy.

Yeah. They are showing the match in the Exhibition Centre for the first 500 people to show up.

Could be great craic!

I'm in work tomorrow otherwise I'd definitely try and get in. Imagine it will got to the early birds.

I'll actually be keeping the track open late tomorrow night unpaid so my viewing is not interrupted by having to close up!

Will tonight's result affect the expected crowd? But agree it shoube be good craic

I'm working till 4 wouldn't like to risk Belfast on a saturday afternoon anyway. Should be a good gig anyway. Especially since we're already through.

MrsP wrote:Anyone heading to the Europa tomorrow?

Not sure whats the deal with that?

Just had a great convo with Gibbo. He's Poopie himself at the thought of meeting the mighty Ulllllsssssstttttteeeeerrrrrrr in the Quarter Finals

Will you record the match WillyG?

Actually, on that very subject, MrP went to set up the sky box to record tomorrow's game and it wouldn't let him as it's on the red button.

Anyone know anything about that?

Kia,

I suppose it will encourage folks as it will be a celebration either way!

Did you see the link Rodders?

Sky were advertising it tonight as their main game MrsP.

Ah yeah ok... you just go along and the 1st 500 are aloud in?

Think we heading to belfast tomorrow but might just head to the taphouse.

Maybe that's what was wrong Notch although when I checked earlier sky's own listings had it as a red button showing.

Stop off at Ballymoney on the way. Sure you know it makes sense

MrsP wrote:Lads,

You know nothing about it. Absolutely nothing.

Uni, youth club and watching cars?

Watching cars?! Woman.. well yer a woman... you have no idea of the beast that is Les 24 Heures Du Mans.

Saw the finish, once in 15 years. Never saw the start. Its great.



Id advise all young bucks to take the pilgrimage. And I hate car-racing. Pointless exercise.

I heard they changed it yesterday I think, maybe the EPG hasn't caught up with the scheduling change... definitely is being shown.

Why what's going down in ballymoney?...

Sorry Gibbo.

I know it must have been tough!

Sitting there.

Watching.

Try again on the sky+ recording MrsP - it's the main match.

I'm pretty sure Sky changed it from the Red Button to the main feature on Sunday or so. On sunday it went blank for a while so you weren't able to see because they must have been in the middle of changing it! And fair play to them to be fair. Once they looked at what had happened on Friday night they decided to change it!

I am 99% (actually screw that 100%) certain the Clermont Ulster match is the main match at 15:40 tomorrow so you should have no problem if you just tape the main programme tomorrow!

Thanks guys.

I thought someone had said it was moved but then Penfro has it on the red button and so I checked and so did sky.

We should get to watch it but it's good to have it to watch back later or pause to attend to some minor emergency with the kids, like

"She has my.....insert toy that said child has shown no interest in until her sibling picked it up!"

Guys have a great feckin weekend, I've outstayed my welcome...amazing night tonight...here's hoping for 3 Irish wins tomorrow!!

Night all

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Tonight was a great start for ALL Irish supporters (and lovers of underdogs)

About frigging time like...

Lol just read my post within your post Rava and obviously I meant just sky+ the main programme tomorrow instead of 'just tape the main programme tomorrow', this isn't the 80s after all lol

can't you train your kids better than that MrsP - I am disappointed in you.

We are working hard on puppy "rugby match watching" at the moment ... Interestingly it doesn't feature anywhere in the Kennel Club's Bronze, Silver or Gold award training certificates. They insist on teaching things like "Sit", "Drop" etc (you could try that on the kids)

Anyway, has gone to bed and so must I

Not something you want to teach a budding rugby star

I reckon Ben Kingsley is better in Sexy Beast than he was in Gandhi.

As you will know only too well, dogs are so much easier to train than kids.

Although, when we were reading the puppy training books we did often look at each other and say,

"Do you think that would work with the kids?"

MrsP, as you are now getting on and yer aul bones (and ditzy brain) are all beginning to creak.. always remember one thing girl - its all in yer hid.

God Gibbo the next tune I was going to open up to the great people on this thread was that version of that very song! You're starting to peesh me aff lol!

I agree. Like toodally. He was a complete and utter basterd in that. Loved im in it. Ray Winston was excellent also.

From the serenity and inner-peace of Ghandi, to that. Says it all about his range as an actor.

He was brilliant as Ghandi too.

...managed to sneak back in past the bouncers ....

Just out of interest Gibbo, did you listen to that song from Montreux that I posted last night or night before (or the night before that)....can't remember exactly what night it was, and oh wait I just realised Forever Young wasn't the one I was gonna post, It was the last song of that same concert by the same nam himself! Is amazing cause everyone from the gig is there to join in! take a look ( although Gibbo am sure you have seen it!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqJJdiG61jo

Oh and take a look especially at Neil Young, he is off his head and was apparently the first time anyone had ever used airbrushing....the reason?....to remove the coke from his nose lol

Thin Lizzy? I mean really now.

Odd to hear him swearing

Alright Kumquat?

Where the mountains of mourne come down to the sea willy....its been a great night...
