The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Belfast

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 pub has ventured to Belfast, as Red Stag is still struggling to come to terms with Munsters QF loss to Ulster

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Brian McLaughlin, John Hart, Duncan Bell, Michael Lynagh, Mick O'Driscoll, Deiniol Jones and Shane Williams.

Get well "Noddy" Lynagh - our thoughts are with you.

Willy - good for dieters I suppose. They think they're eating chocolate, but no, it's just a bit of chocolate filled with wind.

Jeebus, i just found out about Michael Lynagh. I really hope that he recovers well. He was pivotel in what i consider to be the best bck line in Rugby history and is an excellent pundit.

Folks where the hell had pj been;??

Ospreys match or Falcons match then..............

Leinstuuur. Leinstuuur. Leinstuuur.

He's busy painting me an image of Paul Weller, Hoog. Think he's doing a Van De Man, for Rav.

Hes good like.

HEY! Huggie's got a new name! I want a new name!

How bout Sheila?

Hoog - he's posted on a couple of other threads, just not seen him in here for a while

Gibbo - you sure you want to throw out suggestions like that? an innocent member of the Admin team may think you are serious, and once changed, they may not change it back

Nah thanks Dreamer pal, I'll stick with the name that made me infamous.

Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me.

Mon Leinster! Lets be havin ye!

Gibbo the match has started. Early knock on. Bloondie tried to get away with it. Typical blue rascal.

haha Ulster rugby tv still think Scarlets play at Stradey, bless 'em

Want a big game from Dom Ryan here. Show his worth at 7. And McFadden at 12.

Dreamer it wouldn't be an Ulster commentary if Jim Neily didn't get a fact wrong every other minute.

Evenin Willser mate.

Yeah got it on BBC Norn Iron. Great pic via me UK IP address.

Great to see Ravenhill packed, to watch the 2 best teams in Ireland, before their respective HC SF's

HOW good does that sound eh?

McFadden shows why he should be playing instead of Dorce. Ripped through the Ulster gain line there. Oooh it was Locky...

Locky is in!

twas a pundit in the studio (well the place where the tv people are sat), but I shall keep that in mind! sounds very much like the scrum v commentary....

No good defense from Pedrie there.

Oh look, its raining at Ravenhill. Who'd have thunk it?

I want the howling winds now. The Howling Blue Winds of Leinster....

Have to start stepping it up for ASM.

Cracking game at the Library.

You plonker Luke.

Please let NO one get injured from either side. That's no 1 priority for me. Then a great contest, to get us both ready for whats to come.

that's a knock on I think, or something like that. don't think when he grounded it the first time it was on the line.

hmmmm twas given, twas v close but not sure I agree. tis one of those 50/50 ones.


game on though!

Evening all

Was a good try IMO dreamer, initial grounding was on the line.

I didn't think it was Pete, v close but just short IMO.

Think I might switch over to the Welsh derby match in a bit.

Go Jonny. That's my boy.

Sheer dominance from O's up front there!!

The Library gets worse. Told to sit down as we were blocking a sponsors sign. Absolutely pathetic.

ah those delightful stewards Rev. I've heard a lot about them! (and not much of it good)

aww, Mark Jones

Cripes! Scarlets only had 14 fit players at training today!

nah not today, that was on Wednesday Glas.

Maybe so, but why was Nige allowing the Ospreys to shove when the ball was still in Rhys Webb's hands?

well uh, you know uh, Lucky uh, you know, because uh

ha I can't keep trying to type like Mark Jones speaks!

Not sure why he is Lucky, but the scrum has always been the weak point of Nige's reffing game.

The bottom line is that even if one pack is stronger than the other, it doesn't mean the rules of the game don't apply to them.

I concur.

quite enjoying the red zone commentary


Oh Biggar, you stupid stupid boy.

Daft from Biggar.

What has Biggar done?

5 m out from Dragons line, tis penalty to Drags, Brew goes to take it quick and Biggar catches him/partly trips him. Brew milks it, off you go silly Biggar.

Just didn't need to touch him.

But then the more I've seen of the replays, the less Brew needed to go down like he did. On reflection, I would have yellowed both.

No chance, Dreamer. If Biggar had let Brew go, he would have no cause to go down.

yeah he didn't have to go down like he did tho Lucky, twas straight out of the Parra book of theatrics that.

Really not happy on seeing soccer style diving creeping into the game.

Son of Gibbo on for Leinster at Ravenhill.

I must have seen a different replay to you, Dreamer!

Perhaps Lucky! I just don't see how such minimal contact can make someone fall like that is all

P.S. Don't expect me to be objective where the Dragons are involved

It's all about being able to sell it Lucky...if you get the hit right across the front three you can make it look like your settling in and they aren't taking the hit.......been there; done that.

That call was way to slow from Nige....you saw Adam struggling to hold the 2nd rows back!!

Awful call that yellow....that pause was way way too slow!! Just make it crouch-touch-engage.

So now Dan Way and Paul James, both binding on the arm, go down at the same time, and Dan Way gets yellow carded?!

No. Passive engage "ball coming in now".

The ref in the Ulster v Leinster match is not having a good game.
