The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Jedburgh

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 Jedburgh, home of Greig Laidlaw who kicked the winning points for Scotland on Tuesday night.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of all of the June Internationals debutants hanging over the bar.

USE it!

Hellllllooooo.

I'll stick with the tonight thanks dreamer.

Have seen no sport this weekend at all. Anyone know won the French Open final?

It's continuing tomorrow morning, Ozzy, there's been loads of rain delays today.

Starts at 11:45am on ITV, can't remember if it's channel 2 or 4 though sorry!

OZZY - it's ITV4 ( I think that's what they said)

Nadal was leading 6-4 6-3 2-6 1-2

Thanks.

It's my day off tomorrow unless I get a call to say I am required in crown court so hopefully get to watch it.

really hope Djokovic can win it.

If Djoko wins it'll be incredible. Be the only one of the big 3 to hold all the slam titles at the same time. It's crazy to think neither Federer or Nadal have ever managed that.

Nadal was taking a whupping so he's a lucky boy it was stopped.... I'd love to watch it because it will be epic tomorrow. Djock to win in 5 I think.

Both Penform. I'll never change either. Like you me darlin, Im too old to.
Just thinkin, like ya do... 20,000 pished and disconsolate Paddies, lookin for a cheap consolitary shaag after this one.

If only they were in Poland.



Man! Result!

What really gets my goat is that the English are in Ukrainje. Their shaags will be so much cheaper. And only 200 traveled.

Is that both double-racist & sexist, or just the Truth?

Dunno. Not sure.

It's not been a good weekend for Irish sport has it. Pretty dispiriting few days.

ooof Ireland, chance, right there.

Apparently 'bollix' is trending on Twitter.

That guy with the whistle... arghh!

Poor Ireland. Hunt or McLean should have been on. Gutted.

Ja, why not?
Oh, I know why not...

Reality cheque just bounced.

to the Irish contingent in here, that can't have been nice viewing.


Anyhoo, off now, can't believe how quick the weekend has gone again


Nos da pawb.

I've just read that Niall O'Connor could be returning to Ulster next season. How much sex does one team need?! Can't wait to go and watch them next season.

And on that thought I'm off to bed. Back to the grind stone this week. Nite all.

We have a 100% record of winning 1-0 under Hodgson don't we??? If we keep that up, the trophy is ours!

Look, they may steal Bollix and other shoite from us... But I will NEVER Tweet.

FaceAche is bad enough. But Tweeting is for one-liner morons.

I really wish I could have made that a one-liner. Cant. Too much of a moron.

Love you loooong time copper.

Winning one game isn't going to do it Ozzy.

God I'm depressed... a weekend that promised so much delivered so little





.....the sport didn't go well either .

3 centre midfielders, 3 centre midfielders 3 centre midfielders. Why won't Trap play 3 centre mids? We have 2 good defensive guys in Whelan and Andrews but they offer us nothing going forward but they have to due to a stupid formation. We were very unlucky with the 2nd (was a free out, and a feicing slice) and 3rd goals (how unlucky was that) but the Croats dominated us. We sat back, allowed them to come at us, like we did to Wales in the 6N. You let a team run at you they will cause you problems I don't care if it's fudging Lacrosse or Soccer, it's the golden rule. Croatia were full value for the win, we showed some promise when the game was over, McClean needs to start ahead of McGeady.


Might delve deeper tomorrow. But I'm off now.

That William Hill ad is nuts. The only reason a booky wants you to 'back the boys' is if he thinks they are going to lose.

Never mind that, Gavin Duffy will be on the bench on Saturday, he's the only guy who can cover 15

rodders, genuinely intrigued, so pls bear with me, so tell me why you would play Cave out of position at 12? Also would you change the gameplan?

On the plus side the Spanish banks got bailed out so we can keep using yoyos for another month or so.

T,
No need to deeply analyse it man. Ireland are still playing the same game as they did in 1988. Only this time, with shoite players.

There. That saved you a lot of soul-searching.

Question. Should Scousers be allowed to travel?

Im lookin at Gerrard & Rooney here. Carragher is safely on a panel.

ASBO, O'Driscoll played inside centre on Saturday alongside Earls so I don't see why he and Cave couldn't slot in together. As Cave was on the bench I presume that was the back up plan anyways...personally I think Cave may be better, or equally well off at inside centre anyways but keep that to yourself because I'm on thin ice with my fellow Ulster posters as it is

D'arcy or McFadden..much a muchness but really what little faith I had in McFaddens defence took a nose dive on Saturday so flash Gordon for me.... either way without Earls I'm concerned about our ability to shackle Sonny Bill again.

The leftfield choice would be Trimble but Kidney doesn't do leftfield.

...anyways its all academic because if Fitzpatrick and Mike Ross are out we are foooked!!

rodders wrote:...anyways its all academic because if Fitzpatrick and Mike Ross are out we are foooked!!

Its been all academic for a 100 years Rodders. All the rest is self-perpetuated hype.

There are 2 Leagues in World Rugby. And we are not in the 1st. Either are Wales, Italy or Scotland.

None of us ever will be. SKY will tell you different. It brings the punters in.

Only England & France can break into the 1st League.

Lets hope we get another SLAM before we all die.

Meanwhile... Its great to be a Leinster fan!

Gibbo I respectfully disagree. Ireland have a lot of very useful players who both started tonight and were left unused on the bench. Defensivly tonight they were both unlucky and naive.

Gibbo that hurt man, it really did......

Seriously man I don't accept that... maybe once.. but not now.. no no no.

Mediocrity is not a birth right. Without belief you have nothing.... George Best, Keano, Geoghegan, Woodie, BOD.... these guys didn't settle for second best...ever.

...as the Munster boys say... to the brave nothing is impossible (or something along those lines).....

Gibbo it doesn't matter if you're playing the USA, Wales, England or NZ.... sport is about the inches, it always is.....

Believe

Love that speech.

You love for the same reason I do Willy...because its feicin true man...every last word

It wont change the Truth lads. Rugby-wise. Football-wise. For Ireland. Believe me. I know this to be true.

But, keep on believing it will.

It will cost ya over time mind. But that's ok too. Its all a high learning-curve, is Life. Even in Sport.

Nite lads. Love yer youthful enthusiasm. Its required. Its so necessary. I feed my cynical bones off it.

Believe.

Gibbo

Rodders ain't youthful.

Christ! What do I feel so bad even saying that?

We'll be grand. Really. We will win a soccer & rugby World Cup.

One day.

Im watching The Hulk at the minute. We need some of that stuff to handle McCaw and Co.

I think we'll need some Gamma rays for Lougney if he has to start at TH..
