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.

This is the first Pub of 606v2's second year, here's hoping for another good one.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Augustin Pichot, David Campese, Mal O'Kelly and Jim Williams above the bar!

Thoughts Ozzy? I could write a book. Ive been laying them down for 3 years now and people are kopping on at last.

Its great being a Pioneer.

If he doesnt have a 4/5 6-N he's under pressure. Winning all the home games wont do. Not with this squad. Hes failed his remit and most of his limited success has been fortuitous. He is lost outside Munster. He was forced to make changes against the grain and injury & timing dealt him a great hand. He is very lucky with the quality being produced at Leinster. Munster and Ulster. Yet, he still holds it all back. Imagine what a top coach could do with this squad and the emerging players?

He's clueless and tactically bereft at the Top End. Elmer Fudge.

Looks like the rumours about Rhys Thomas from the Scarlets are true (although I don't think as serious as feared). He's recovering in hospital today after having to have emergency surgery on a heart condition, but is said to be comfortable.

Just had 19 green balloons sewed into my t-shirt. Can't move all too well. Gonna be a good night though.

Two points.

(1) Needles and balloons are rarely a good combination and,

(2) Why?

Had to ask myself, PJ! Apparently you can click on a little arrow on the RHS for each message you look at

Evening.

Just watching the O's game. They're winning I wish they'd play more of their matches at the Brewery Field - it's nearer to me for a start. Just a better atmos. This is only for the Luther Vandross Cup though, so they won't play any Rab games there.

Nice one, we need to stick together on things like this - lest we appear of "a certain age" deal?

Deal

WTF is twitter?

Evening tafarn.

I'm on a birthaday bash tonight, Wasps v tomorrow, Saxons v Wolf s in the pub after that. Another birthday bash when I get back from Wycombe (possibly).

And then....London Scottish v Nottingam on Sunday with the London regz.

Heaven feicen help me!!

Liver doomed

Can you still buy Andrews Liver Salts?

Mick - yes you can and it's brilliant stuff!

- have a good weekend, and full recovery afterwards.

Also, can I just deliver a massive for Penfro, his Ma's in hospital and recovering from a nasty invasive op, and he STILL manages to make life easy for me by posting his TV guide.

Slim Pickins (didn't he do country?) for us Sky viewers this weekend, but I'll make a special effort for Bath v Northampton in the Little-Value Cup and the Wolfhounds v Saxons straight after for the feck of it.

Thanks Penfro, ya legend.

*peeks nervously round the door* Er, is MrsP about?

I'm not MrsP, no.

Hi all,

Asbo if your lurking I have the blooming Tomahawk Chant stuck in my head!!

Mick(TEFC) wrote:WTF is twitter?

Stick with Asbo and me Mick, we're just like totally keyed on that shoite and stuff.

Lucky, can I suggest you grab a couple of drinks and then like hell!

Evening pub

14 all at the Brewery Field. We're not doing too badly without our internationals, but the scrums are messy.

Yeah, its been a game with some great play and some poor stuff. I suppose these kind of games are just about seeing who can step up.

Cheers peeps It might help if I wasn't still trying to shrug off this cold.

Yeah PJ - go Penfro and Penfro's ma.

Apparently the ref is shocking, but I never really pay muich attention to them unless it's something really obvious, so I can't comment. Matt Morgs has missed a couple of kicks so the O's should ideally be into the 20s. He struggles a bit kicking for territory as well.

Munsty, fill em with helium, take off, get high and give everyone a laff. Guaranteed to score my friend.

Evening Cari, have you seen Lucky or should I say LuckLESS

PJ I would be worried at not knowing about Twitter at your age. Imagine what you will be like when you get to our (Gibbo/Me) age

Helium is always a winner. How you Gibo, PJ, Cari etc.

I don't understand the joke with Lucky/MrsP but that's probably cause i haven't read back or something...

Allright Staggy

(Shhhhhhhh Rava, you'll break our cover man......) Look at that over there everyone! A really interesting thing!!!

(Know feck all about it Rava, but on the QT Asbo, me and Mick are totally feckin clewed, K? )



Ohhhh, you all just must have missed it or somethin.

Cari - Lucky was a bit cheeky towards MrsP earlier when she wasnt here. She got cross with him.

Im glad its the weekend, though I have to finish an essay on the bloody Reformation either tonight or tomorrow.

Both outhalves have missed easy kicks for touch. A lot of mistakes being made now. A lot of knock-ons, loose passes. Neither young and talented 10 is bossing things. Both are making mistakes though their talent is obvious.

It's sometimes hard to see the value of this competition. I suppose it's good gametime for the fringe players. That's a decent finish for Eli Walker.

Staggy - ah OK. Just use Wikipedia for your essay...it's the font of all knowledge (apparently)...

Really dont like twitter. It gives gobshoites instant access... to call each other gobshoites.

P.S. Nathan (I'll sit on one of ye and hold back 2 of ye) Hines Rocks! Love to have a pint with him. One of the last great characters in rugby. Like our Donnacha.

Question, who, in World rugby, would ye like to sit down and have pints and craic with? I'll give ye 5 off de top of me ceainn.

1. Brian Moore
2. Trevor Brennan
3. Donnacha O Callaghan
4. Nathan Hines
5. Nigel Owens

Imagine that gig after vast loads of pints on Tour. Man.

No need for me to answer that Gibbo....besides I don't drink, so going for pints isn't an option

In my defence, I was only having a laugh. True, it was at MrsP's expense, but you can't put a price on comedy.

1. Gareth

2. Willie-John

3. Bill Beaumont

4. Jason Robinson

5. Ian McGeechan

6. Bobby Windsor

7. Buck Shelford

8. Jonny Wilkinson

9 JPR Williams

10. John Jeffrey



Man I could go on and on and on...

Lucky is "lucky" he is in Wales. I saw how Mrs P looked at Cockerill at Ravenhill for just saying "Not Straight"

Like any social media platform, Twitter is what the users make of it. Lot of people act like gobshoites on it. It's fantastic having instant access to the latest news; the best people to follow are, always, journalists and bloggers.

Like totally what Notch said, right Mick, Asbo?

Yer too old Gibbo, give it up man.

That's very true Notch. It's like everything else in life. There are always those who misuse things for themselves. Doesn't make it a bad thing, just those who abuse it. I don't use Twitter myself, but I'm not against it. I can see how it benefits public figures, businesses and giving a voice to those who wouldn't normally have one.

The list is endless Gibbo, so many characters out there but top 5

1. Jason Leonard
2. Jim Telfer
3. Keith Wood
4. Adam Jones
5. John Smit

I have a feeling it would be a hefty bar bill!!!!

Was Nige reffing?

Me and PJ. Keeping it real, yo.

I have signed up to Twitter. I follow some very famous people.

PC Pete is one. Mickado is another.

Exciting....... What PJ?

Those cats are the real movers and shakers in the twitter world. Internet VIPs.
