The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Sixmilebridge

First topic message reminder :

Sláinte and 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 made it's way to the homeland of the wonderful Eirebilly, who we were all horrified to hear that he was involved in a helicopter crash on Friday. Better news though is that he's awake and swearing like a sailor, so no change there Wink

Feel free to take in all of the pubs, of which the Greyhound is but one of many.

Updates on Billy's progress can be found here: https://www.606v2.com/t30132-eirebilly-op-updated-02-06-2012 and I'm sure we'll all continue in sending the positive thoughts and good wishes to him and his family.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the snooker table, brought in especially for Billy. And I'm not quite sure how that picture of a sheep got above the bar.....

Ale

They are a bit late '80s / early '90s, aren't they.

UCF... Urban Camouflage Footwear, eh Thomond?
In a few years people will hardly notice you are wearing them!

by Thomond Tue 5 Jun - 11:44

They're part of the whole geek chic/hipster that seems to be where it's at.
What the heck is Urban Camoflauge Footwear?

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 11:45

I think it's when your shoes are pavement-coloured.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 5 Jun - 11:49

Brick patterns, pigeons, lamp posts.... a touch of graffiti near the tip of the toes... Everyday urban footwear.

It's a good night to catch pneumonia here... it's so miserable outside.

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 5 Jun - 11:51

Morning all

Aus v Sco is a pretty dire game.

That is all really.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 11:54

That's a decent summary, Ozzy.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 5 Jun - 11:54

Aye Ozzy, dire and dour. Tough contest still in these conditions.

by **Notch** Tue 5 Jun - 11:56

This will be of interest to us pub denizens;

http://whiffofcordite.com/2012/06/05/season-in-review-connacht/

As we say goodbye to the provincial season, we sign off with the last of our provincial reviews – a look at the men from the West. We sought some external assistance for this one, and went to our own man from out west, known on Twitter as ummm, a long-standing Connacht fan, for his views on how Connacht’s first season went.

Thomond given the age profile I had imagined you to be in, I wouldn't have thought those shoes appropriate.
Shows how much I know about you then Very Happy

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 11:59

Is that your man ummm of 606? What ever happened to that BouncerIanKeatley chap?

Flip whats happening in the ruggers?? Braveheart

by Hound_of_Harrow Tue 5 Jun - 11:59

Morning all. The weather sounds awful down there breaker. Considering the size of Aus that storm covered a huge area Shocked

Excellent, The Steve Miller Band's 'Take the money and run' has just come on.

It is the legend that is ummm, indeed. I think The Bouncer is still around on these boards no? TheBouncer?

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 12:01

6-6 man what a cracker! Come on the Scots! Braveheart

Haven't come across TheBouncer much on here I don't think.

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:04

brilliant defence by Scotland there to keep Australia out, not aided by awful positioning form the Ref. If I'd have been a Scots player I'd have just tackled him out of the way.

by **Notch** Tue 5 Jun - 12:04

Scotland just tackling, tackling, tackling their hearts out.

I want to say thanky you but I really don't know what to say!

by Rava Tue 5 Jun - 12:05

Enjoyed that Blog Notch. Helps that I actually got to meet the great man after the HC Final in London.
He's not what I imagined him to be though Rolling Eyes

. Then none of you were, especially Rodders Run

I'll take that as a compliment Rava....... Whistle

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 5 Jun - 12:09

Breakdown has been a real mess in this game and the referee has been poor.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:10

That's the great thing about the pub meets, getting to meet the people behind the monikers. It makes you realise that your brain builds up an idea of what other posters are like without you asking it to.

by Thomond Tue 5 Jun - 12:11

It's like reading a book and forming your own idea of the characters. Then the film ruins your previous ideas of them......

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 12:14

.... Yup it's a bit like finding out Santa Claus doesn't really exist... The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Sixmilebridge - Page 11 3754190863

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:15

Wallabies offside, referee!

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:16

one last scrum...c'mon Scotland!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:17

Why wasn't that a penalty?

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:18

Come on now, Greig Laidlaw. No pressure...

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 12:18

Sounds like Scotland have been robbed? Braveheart

by **Pal Joey** Tue 5 Jun - 12:19

Knew that was coming. Well done Scotland. clap

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:19

Penalty Scotland and they get the win!!!!

Breaker - Hug

Not a game either side would have enjoyed playing in those conditions I don't think. Monster defensive efforts from both sides though.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:20

Over!

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 12:20

What happened???

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:21

ooerr....no pressure on Wales now eh? gulp Erm

We're going to face an Aussie backlash me's a thinking.

Good, good win for Scotland though, really chuffed for them.

by **Notch** Tue 5 Jun - 12:21

Called it! Called a win for Scotland in this very pub last night. Delighted to be proved right Yahoo

by **rodders** Tue 5 Jun - 12:21

Scotland won! Yahoo

Pint for the Scots! guinness

:Castlemaine: for Breaker!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:23

You realise some posters (not all of them English) will give Scotland no credit whatsoever for this.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 5 Jun - 12:23

Cheers guys. Scotland played well and thoroughly deserved the win.

by Rory_Gallagher Tue 5 Jun - 12:23

COME ON SCOTLAND! Braveheart

HUGE WIN!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:24

Ross Ford's first win as captain, I believe. A pint for him too.

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:24

Lucky - it's already begun on the match thread Rolling Eyes

Congrats Scotland clap

We get the feicin backlash on the weekend Rolling Eyes

by prop_lyd Tue 5 Jun - 12:25

Great result Scotland!!

by Suspicious lurker Tue 5 Jun - 12:30

Fair play Scotland delighted for them, no sign of the kilted one though

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 5 Jun - 12:31

I'm sure he'll have heard the result, Hughie! Smile

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:32

Aye where is Asbo? not seen him around for a couple of days.

Ha love this from the Beeb:

The celebrations on the pitch are so wild that Alasdair Strokosch accidentally headbutts Joe Ansbro, who is led off for treatment by Nick de Luca with blood streaming down his face.

by Guest Tue 5 Jun - 12:34

I wonder if this stat is true. Ross Rennie tackles made 24, missed 0.

Amazing if it is!!

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Tue 5 Jun - 12:35

Just texted Asbo a quick match summary, he's down in Devon with no internet.

Great win Scotland.

by Rory_Gallagher Tue 5 Jun - 12:35

I thought 7s don't make the tackles dreamer? Wink
