The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by **Pal Joey** Sun Jan 22, 2012 10:14 am

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 John Hayes, Craig Gilroy,
Niall O'Connor, Ben Skirving and Jonny May above the bar!

What a weekend Asbo.

What a weekend!

I'd love to see that!

It's the Sun's radiation. You can see it because it's in the World's 'shadow'

Easy path to the semi for our lads. Decent path to the final too. Ulster,then Edinburgh (if Gloucester can beat them.....)

by MrsP Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:53 pm

It's the roof of the world dancing!

Like popping candy around the outside of a big sweet!

by Guest Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:53 pm

That's amazing Asbo!

Ulster v Cardiff HC final then. Munster are a tough animal. Away from home to. I might have quietly fancied us before they put 50 points on the Saints. Not so sure now. Also they're comfortably top 4 whereas we still have a lot of work to do in the league. I'd be surprised if either of us don't make the final then. Oh an all Irish final how good would that be?

Great for the fans of the teams involved but it will probably feel more like a local derby than a HC final.

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:05 pm

Was hoping for one of the Ulster fans to come out and be offended and launch into this whole rubbish that the media doesn't love us and how Ian Humphreys and Tuohy should be starting for Ireland.

Munster will beat them no doubt about it.

Magic to share it with the kids As. Magic.

What? At blagging? And in showing provincial insecurity?

That would be an even closer contest. :where's me handgrenade: emoticon?

The buzz is in!

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:14 pm

Ulster showed a lack of composure and discipline yesterday. Can they grow in the space of 2 and a bit months?

by Gibson Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:18 pm

Woooooooooooooo T. Love it. Bad boy. Bad boy.

Where's Notch?

Look, WE are the best team in Europe. And I hope one of ye joins us in the Final. It would be nice, but not necessary. Just sayin... guinness

I think Leinster would lose to Clermont away. But I don't think Clermont will beat Sarries.

by WillyGilly Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:22 pm

Leinster/Sarries will be one semi finals. That's as far as I'm going.

by eirebilly Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:24 pm

Gibbo, Leinster have this aweful insecurity of trying to outdo the big team in Ireland. They will never be as great as Munster Wink

by Gibson Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:26 pm

Nah T. We'd have had ASM easy yesterday. They've dipped from last year - like Toulouse. We have BOTH their numbers. Nae bodder.

As for Munster... sure at least ye'll get a day out if ye meet us.

by eirebilly Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:28 pm

Your still the apprentices Gibbo, Munster are the masters........ Learn your place blue boy Wink

Gowan Billy ya boy ya!

Im sure the non-Irish must get pished off with this craic. Its unique.

Juts thinkin... like ya do.. it just great to be having this banter at all.

The 2 lesser provinces, have played well above themselves to get here. And I think that deserves applause in itself. In fairness. We showed em the Way. The Leinster Way and they are learning.

Fair play to em I say. Best of luck.
LOTS of luck.

by eirebilly Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:33 pm

Just messin with ya Gibbo Very Happy

Its happy days for Ireland, dead happy that Ulster have done so well and i never begrudge a Leinster win.

I am away now so have a good one all.

by Gibson Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:36 pm

I know Billy. Me too bud. Just dont tell anyone else that.

Nite mo chara. Pleasure as always. Its people like you, who give Munster a good name. Hug

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:38 pm

As opposed to Leinster fans who just wear big names....

by Rava Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:42 pm

Sorry I missed you Billy. Well done yesterday.

That's one Munster gentleman king

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:44 pm

The jersey Ulster were yesterday was lovely. Might consider buying one in the future. Looking forward to the big game but there is a small matter of the 6N first.

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 8:50 pm

Tickets will be like gold dust for that one. I might make it down though, I think there's going away party for my cousin and Godson around that time. They're off to the land of the long white cloud. Crying or Very sad

Big Irish names.

I gather Rob K was saying that last night on TG4, Leinster is the best team in Europe and will be No 1 seeds yadda yadda yadda, then someone pointed out that Munster had beaten Saints;
"Yes well that's 24 points, we have scored more tries"
"Actually Rob, Munster got a bonus point win - they have 25 points"
"Oh" says Rob.

by MrsP Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:00 pm

I'm sure Rob is very glad they came out second!

Otherwise he'd have us in the quarters!

by Gibson Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:02 pm

Oh no! Its Yerwan. She'll be quoting History at us next. How a Munster bogger took a Honda 50 across Yurop and won Munster their 1st Final.

Sheesh.

Doze daze are long gawn.

Nice to see ye at least trying to play rugby now. After so many years of drudgery.

Thanks for watchin. And learnin.

That 6-5 game against Harlequins was classic rugby alright Gibbo.

God NO T. Heaven Forbid.

An Angelas Secrets basque, with matching stockings and Blue Leinster suspenders. 6 inch, RED Munster, Tuf shoos, hi-heels mind.

It's a Sunday night FFS! What other day of the week can I wear em?

Thats the differ between culchies and Dubs. Right there. guinness

by Rava Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:18 pm

Are you intending coming to Dublin for the QF Gibbo?

I'm sure the games will be played on different days, so I might just plan to see them both.

by eirebilly Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:20 pm

Just popped back quickly.

Thanks for the kind words Rava.

Gibbo, i would rather be a Culchie than a Dub mate Wink

Just for you

Fair enough, I'm just going casual like. Watching a bit of the NFL here, not a bad way to end a great weekend. An assist today, a bit like Messi's ball to Abidal on Wednesday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1tDsVR-l8U
Except I used my right foot and I had a lot more space!

Specially for Mr Gibson

An American holidaymaker visiting a church in Dublin saw a golden telephone with a sign that said "Calls €10,000". He asked the priest what it was for and was told "It's a direct line to God". At a Cathedral in Galway he saw a similar golden phone and the same sign. At other churches throughout the country he found golden phones and the same sign.
Then he stopped in Cork and went into a church and again saw a golden phone but this time the sign said "Calls 50c". The American said to the priest "Father, I've travelled all over Ireland and I've seen this golden telephone in many churches. I'm told it's a direct line to heaven but in Dublin the price was €10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
The priest smiled and said "You're in Cork now, my son. It's a local call."

by Thomond Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:31 pm

Great joke. We are a bit full of ourselves but sure who isn't

by Cymroglan Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:33 pm

This nun is driving along in her Renault 5 when she has the misfortune to run out of petrol somewhere near Ahoghill. So she jumps out of the car and walks down the road until she comes to a lane, and at the end of the lane there's a farm, and in the farmhouse there's a farmer, who, being a decent sort of bloke, siphons some petrol out of his Mercedes for her.
Unfortunately there isn't a petrol can about the place, and the only receptacle they can find, after a lengthy search of the premises, is a potty which was lying under a bed in one of the back rooms. So the nun heads off with her potty full of four-star, and walks back along the road until she comes to the Renault. Well, she's standing there carefully tipping the contents into the petrol tank when who should roll up but Ian Paisley in a motorcade on his way to Stormont.
The armour-plated Granada slides to a halt beside the Renault, and Paisley lowers the electric window.
'Madam,' he says to the nun, I have no time for your religion, but I can only admire your faith.'

Erm... yeah darlin. You're staying at my house?

Wouldnt be bothered much, going to watch Munster, now that they are 2nd-division, wannabee - Leinster men.
It was so much better when they played like farmers.

You knew where you where then. Ya know?

Ah well. Times change. guinness

Champions.

No it wasn't. It was a Hindi lad, on an outsourced Call Desk.

Allah, God and Mohammed, are mere pretenders to Krishna's Throne. Not mentioning the dues.
