The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Christchurch

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Tue 12 Jun 2012, 2:36 pm

First topic message reminder :

Kia ora 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 Christchurch, as it prepares to host its first test match in over 2 years. While reconstruction continues post-earthquake there's plenty of vacant lots for the pub to "occupy".

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Llanelli legend Nigel Davies, and local heroes Richie McCaw and Dan Carter.

Key man for England now in this game is Gerrard, he must keep driving us forward.

He's the only world class player England possess any more Very Happy

Christus. England are sitting back too much here. They could be punished for that. Sweden HAVE to win this really.

by Rava Fri 15 Jun 2012, 8:41 pm

Just had an off line conversation with Mrs. P.

She's that old?? Shocked

Doesn't look it, seriously Wink

And she has a cheek Very Happy

Calling Gibbo & Asbo "auld" Laugh

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 8:41 pm

England allowing Sweden to dictate the play a bit here which is not good. Think we need half time and settle back in to playing a bit more as Sweden are not a great side and we shouldn't be fearing them, we should be looking to hammer home our advantage.

You are skating on very thin ice here buddy!

And, when you have got yourself in a hole it is better to look for a ladder than to keep diggin!

1960s indeed!

Got there Pete. Hope Roy of the Rovers gets them in the right frame for the second half.

Gibbo doesn't own a ladder! Not sure he'd even recognise one if he saw it!

by Rava Fri 15 Jun 2012, 8:58 pm

By the way folks, my daughter won a singing competition today at school. This in spite of having a sore throat last night.
This is what she sang

Bollix!!!

Shhhiiiiitttttteeee!! Sweden goal!

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:10 pm

England need some attacking momentum. Need to get the Ox on for Ashley Young and get him driving at the full back.

by **rodders** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:10 pm

...Mrs not rodders not impressed by that....trying to keep a straight face here ..... laughing

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:11 pm

Sloppy by England. Fortunate by Sweden. There is not too much between these two tbh. Two big awkward strikers and fairly average players at this level.

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:13 pm

Now Ox could make a differ Ozzy. He's got the right stuff for this game. Could unlock the game for England.

Dreadful defending by England. Free header.

by Rava Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:20 pm

Walcott for Milner isn't really an inspired substitution.

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:20 pm

Terrible defending. Not sure how you allow a ball to travel that far and still don't get in a challenge. I would have got a bollocking for that in non league football when I was playing. Really poor stuff.

by **rodders** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:22 pm

Jeebus how did Terry not score there?!

by **rodders** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:22 pm

Walcott Goal!

Independent assessment of the footie, from a standpoint of major ignorance:

Parker and Milner aren't up to playing teams like Spain who have good close controll and passing ability.

Carrol is a better international than a club player, he's been a right nuisance to Sweden all night. Ibrahimovic is lauded for being a very similar player.

England can rely on defence and the odd flashes of inspiration, because they have two or three players who can produce special moments, and the Irishman is yet to play. Rooney on Carrol's shoulder to live off scraps.

But please don't listen to me. Very Happy

by Cari Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:51 pm

If Dreamer's around, she should watch this week's Jonathan, Wellies is one of the guests.

by Rava Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:53 pm

Well done England. They can now get out of the group.

Walcott was the difference Very Happy

Told you

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:57 pm

Well done England! Enjoy it Ozzy mate.

by WillyGilly Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:59 pm

Hahaha unbelievable Rava. Great match. Great finish from Welbeck. But what an absolute beast of a man is Gerrard. Captain material down to his last atom. What a player.

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:02 pm

They need to start Wallcot and Ox. England lack creative players and those two are. Id drop Young when Rooney comes back. Then you have a side that can compete with the big sides imo.

Glen Johnson was superb. Saved 2 or 3 certain goals.

by WillyGilly Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:04 pm

Also scored one Gibbo.

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:09 pm

Ah, I wouldn't blame him for that one Willser. It was going in and then came back off the post when he tried to clear it. England will make the knockouts... but... I reckon that will be it.

Still, if yer not in em, ya cant win em.

Im praying for a big win v Portugal and Germany to beat Denmark. Rolling Eyes

by Rava Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:10 pm

This is Friday night at 10.00 pm. Willie why aren't you out there?

by **rodders** Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:16 pm

PMs for Rava and ASBO guinness

by WillyGilly Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:19 pm

You answered you own question there Rava. It's 10:17, I'm heading out now! If I don't stroll in here intoxicated later on I shall see you at half 8 for kick off. Ciao!
