The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Jedburgh

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Thu 07 Jun 2012, 8:28 pm

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.

It is self help now, but you have to go to the tap to get your own water, then the hops, the other stuff....

Then once you brewed it you can drink it.

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.

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.

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.

I would agree more so with Willy, Gibbo. Ireland can play ball they just don't. They have incredibly good players who are both not playing (McClean, Long) and guys who didn't or couldn't travel (Clark,McCarthy,Hoolahan,Coleman). Trap consistently picks average players when there are guys who can do a better job available.

Got an email at the weekend. Tickets for the AI's are on sale to Supporters club members on Friday.
Not sure what my allocation will be but if anyone wants me to get them a couple for the SA game then PM me. I will most likely do the Supporters event again for the Argentina game.

Anyone who uses streams (mine or your own) has just received a PM, just a short message to tell you all. If I left anyone out just ask and I will send it to you.

Hallo folks.

What a weekend, mixed the sublime with the ridiculous. Was out on Friday night with the work crew, we ended up in some nightclub which was full of reality TV “stars”, it was cringingly horrible. But we just took the pish out of them. which was fun. Up early then for the Ireland game, I was in ribbons but had to ready myself for a wedding in Carlingford for Amanda’s work mate, I started off slow but finished at 5am with a flourish. Was falling asleep watching the soccer last night and went to bed all depressed. Still feeling pickled after it all. won’t be right until the weekend I’d say.

Eh, two nights in a row. Finished at 2.30am Friday, up at 8am, back on the sauce at 3pm, didn't finish till 5am. If that aint stamina I don't know what is! I could have kept the fire going yesterday if i started early but i'd be yellow if i did!

Mickado you need to get back on the horse again. May I recommend tonights England v France game or the Polacks v the Ruskis tomorrow.

I've had a gang over for most of the Euro matches so far - though its been the food not the drink has done my gut no favours - Indian food, Chinese and a Dominos Pizza in the space of 3 days #bigfatstag

by Mickado Mon 11 Jun 2012, 12:33 pm

ah Rav I must be off my game if I missed that one. That was an open goal. Sick that I didn’t get a picture of it!

Stag, I aint touching no horse for a week at least. I’m broke anyway, I only found out about the wedding last Wednesday and then I had to pay for a present, hotel and 14 hours worth of hooch! Noodles for dinner, mmmm yes please! Smile

I've gone vegetarian now. I mean, I know I had a sausage roll yesterday, but it's not really meat, is it, y'know? I mean, there's no animal called a "sausage"

by Rava Mon 11 Jun 2012, 1:47 pm

There's no animal called a "bacon" either Rolling Eyes

by Mickado Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:07 pm

Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Pork chops?

Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!

Homer: Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

I was thinking of that exact quote Mick Laugh

by Thomond Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:24 pm

Mayor Quimby: All right, I'm in charge here.
Chief Wiggum: Oh, run along, Quimby. I think they're dedicating a phone booth somewhere.
Mayor Quimby: Watch it, you talking tub of donut batter.
Chief Wiggum: Hey, I got pictures of you, Quimby.
Mayor Quimby: You don't scare me, that could be anyone's ass. Now beat it! I'm calling the shots.
Chief Wiggum: I think that sash is cutting off the air to your brain! The town charter says, in an emergency I run the show!

That has to be the best exchange between Simpsons character ever. Up there with the best episodes too.

I made a Lasagna yesterday when people came over to watch the Euros yesterday. Had 4 star Saturday with a few lads watching it.

by Mickado Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:28 pm

That’s a gem Thomond. Bloody gem.

Here’s my absolute favourite still frame from the Simpsons, it’s from the whacking day episode…

Well played sir, started watching this show you might like called "Community" it's direceted by guys who were involved in Arrested Devlopment.

Yeah, Notch has been singing it's praises. I need to get on it alright. Chevy Chase is a personal hero but he hasn't done anything good in ages, i look forward to a return to form for him.

by **Notch** Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:45 pm

Chevy Chase is apparently a ma-hoosive bumhole Mick! Funny guy, but not such a great guy to hang around with in real life I hear.

by Rava Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:47 pm

Homer: I’ll have the smiley face breakfast special. Uhh, but could you add a bacon nose? Plus bacon hair, bacon mustache, five o’clock shadow made of bacon bits and a bacon body.

Waitress: How about I just shove a pig down your throat? (Homer looks excited)

Waitress: I was kidding.

Homer: Fine, but the bacon man lives in a bacon house!

Waitress: No he doesn’t!

by Thomond Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:49 pm

Yeah, he caused a lot of trouble among the writers and producers. I'd say it might go downhill now, the creator left and a fair few writers left too. Some fellas who tried to bring "the IT crowd" to America took over.

by PenfroPete Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:53 pm

Enough with the bacon thumbsdown

On to a more current(ish) topic

Football Commentator: Well, Ron Manager, once again the pace and the tempo of that first half totally dictated by the boy wonder, Ryan Giggs.

Ron Manager: Cor, Ryan Giggs, you know? Giggsy, isn't it? Mmm? Giggsy-wiggsy? Mmm? Oh! Ryan-y Giggsy-wiggsy. Isn't it? You know, marvellous.

Tommy: Is he the new George Best?

Ron Manager: Is George Best the old Ryan Giggs? But Giggsy-wiggsy. Precocious talent, isn't he? Mmm? Ooh, got it all, you know? Speed, acceleration, sweet left foot, all the tricks - the dummy, the drop of the shoulder, the shimmy, nutmeg, jiggery-pokery, hocus pocus, abracadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya. Steve Miller Band? Spin Doctors? Ooh, very similar.

Football Commentator: Thank you, Ron. Now, Tommy, it's interesting to see the diamond formation being used again.

Ron Manager: Diamond formation? Does anyone really know what that is? I mean, at least you knew where you were with Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders. You know? 4-4-2, 4-2-4, 4-3-3... 0898 654000, freephone double glazing?

Football Commentator: You've lost me there, Ron. Not sure about that particular formation. But, Tommy, do we need structure? Look at the Brazilians.

Ron Manager: Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

Very Happy

Very sad. The creator was sacked actually. A lot of the writers are unhappy about that. The guys who they have brought in I think are much more network 'Yes men'. It's a show that got its reputation for taking big creative risks and departing from the norm. I can't see that continuing now. I'd say it will jump the shark soon if not already.

But as Troy would say to that;

"You know, there was actually an episode of Happy Days where Fonzie really did jump over a shark, and it was the BEST ONE!"
