The Hillsborough Memorial Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Liverpool

First topic message reminder :

Hello 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 its way to Liverpool in honour of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster, who may finally receive justice.

We are also mourning the sudden loss of Nevin Spence, his father Noel and brother Graeme, who died tragically at their farm in Hillsborough, Co. Down yesterday.

We offer our thoughts and deepest sympathies to his sisters Emma (who remains in a stable condition in hospital), Laura, their mother Essie, family and all friends and fans of the Ulster Rugby community.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Andy Murray, Craig Newby and Delme Thomas.

Should be doing the Drags v Blues one after food.

let me know how Stevo gets on will you Hound? Probs will only get to see highlights myself. And good news on Wasps

I'll text you after he's converted our bonus point try dreamer.



That's probably put the right kybosh on us.

ah but by pointing that out you have removed said kybosh I reckon. Just hope he goes well for yous

Cari - really not sure what this one is going to be like. A bit nervy I reckon with both wanting a win so badly.

Well it's a crap start for the O's Dreamer...Glasgow try.

aye, whoever missed that tackle.....ouch.

Alright Cari.

Bit of a slow start to the season from the Os. Certainly nowhere near the form they finished last season. The Bloos have not been great either mind.

- alright butt. The O's are having a big bum mer of a season so far...it's going to be a long one.

That'll be a long wait for that text then Hound!!!!

Ya 'forester'.

Evening pub .

Bath v Sinners to kick off shortly, we'll see how far Bath have to go after this one, had two close wins so far, neither were convincing performances, but with all respect to Worcester & Wasps, Sinners will prove the sternest test, particularly at the set piece.

Parity at scrum and lineout will be an absolute must if GG's gameplan is to bear fruit.

It ain't pretty, but...

'Mon Barf!!!

Pob lwc PJ, hope you get the win, really don't have a lot of time for Saints myself. Always had a soft sport for Bath too with the history they share with Llanelli

evenin' Peej. Hope Baff have a better night than the O's are having...put it this way, if I went on to play for them they'd do better...

TRRRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!

Bendy in for Bath in under 2 minutes, from a lineout!!

Few pundits backing Catalan Dragons too. Eeeeeek

ace PJ!

Catalan Dragons, Rev??

Munster just scored a brilliant try. The build up was fantastic with Earls instrumental in it and finishing it off. I'm really liking this Rob Penney Munster side.

Rugby League innit Dreamer. Not really anybody's cup of tea in here though (bar Line and Munsty, I think).

Hey Cari, it's still early days in the Rabo, at least you've got the Heino to look forward to.

Barkley missed the adds!! He's only 14 from 15 now, the boys gone to seed.

ah league...strange world to me sorry Rev. Watch it on tv sometimes but that's usually if there's nothing else on to be honest!

Peej - they don't stand a chance in the Luther Vandross Cup at this rate, never mind the HC. This is dire.

Rob Penney has a massive nose.

Munster sound like they are going well

Exchange of penalties for naughties at the ruck: 8-3.

Bath competing well.

Cari, the O's are in it - it could be worse, trust me.

Rev,

You'd expect the Dragons to be up their with the favourites. Trent Robinson's last season in charge, will want to send him off in style. There is also so much quality all across the side. And Menzies, what a player and at 38!

"Rob Penney has a massive nose."

He'd better watch the offside line.

Grabham for the O's really looks like a guy I used to go to Welsh classes with. it's freaking me out slightly.

Jarryd Payne scores a try off some really good build up by Ulster.

Ulster lead by a point in a really entertaining game of rugby.

Bath playing the rugby, Sinners playing the ref. Bath give away 2 stupid penalties. 8-9

Glasgow coming awake at last this season. Knockin the shoite out of Ospreys at the Library. 7-25. My Dark Horses for the PRO12. Must put shekels on it.

Good close game at Ravenhill. Got texts from a very pished Rav & Stag. Nice. Love it when good people meet up. Warm buzz.

How's my Walsall lover vanavond?
Mon Bath!

Believe.

HT and despite Bath having the possession, ambition and creativity, the Sinners take the first half 8-12 with Barkley missing a 30m gimme bang in front of the posts on the stroke of half time.

Sinners are a very, very ugly team to watch and the closing comment from Austin "Gob on a Stick" Healey was "Northampton playing some very clever rugby there."

Well, I guess it's true; once a Tigger, always an a$$hole...

They'll need more than belief this time out Gibbo .

v true about Healey there PJ...

This really has been a good game of rugby to watch. Let's hope this raft of changes isn't going to kill the end. Far too many subs nowadays.

Munster winning by 2 but Ulster have a shot at goal to take the lead again. And he kicks it fantastically well. Ulster up by 1 again.

Can't stand him Dreamer, and that's nothing to do with him being a Tigger, it just doesn't help is all.

The Munster-Ulster clash sounds like a corker.

'Mon the O's.

I wan my da...

"Well, I guess it's true; once a Tigger, always an a$$hole..."



To be fair I have the greatest of respect for Leicester. Consistently the best club in the Prem over the last decade and a bit. Plus the obly English club to feature in every HC.

They haven't beaten us in a final over that period though.

Hey , .

I can respect and hate in equal measures, but in Leicester's case, I can make an exception.

Sinners get another penalty at the set piece, "YAAAAAAWWWNN".

Bath strike back immediately 11-15.

27 minutes to go.

Awwwww Cari babe, come here .

Buenas tardes, amigos. Just in from the pub, going to watch Ulster v Munster and Osp v Glas - well, going to try but I do have 4 glasses of wine on an empty tum to contend with! Have a nice piece of steak to just bang into the pan, so all is good. Which way is the fridge, BTW?

ha nice one Puma!

If I were you I'd skip the O's match....

for Cari.

Hola Puma, buenos tardes. Don't leave it in the pan too long

The other PJ smashes Tonga'huia at the scrum to make amends for shelling a 3 pointer on his own 5 metre line. Barkley makes it a 1-point game with 20 to go.

I smell a Bath LH legend in the making. Tanks O's.

Phew!

That was exciting.

So relieved. Lots of possession but didn't use it as opposed to the visitors who made use of theirs very efficiently.

Exciting match after last weeks durge.

<hugs> to Cari et al.

PJ, yo soy argentina. I heat pan until very hot, I put steak in pan, I turn steak over, I put steak on plate. I should still be able to hear a faint 'moo'. If not, it's overdone!

Paul James is a cracker of a player PJ, said in my season preview the O's would miss him most.

MrsP - sounded like a proper tense affair from the twitter updates right at the end, well done on the win!

More tense than it should have been but we came out the right side so...

Just had the sinking feeling we were about to be "Munstered" at the end. The lads did very well to ensure ROG never got a chance to drop a goal and yet still not give away a penalty.

Hey MrsP, congrats to the Ulster regs

Bath piling in to Sinners with 10 to go, looks like a GG plan taking shape here. Barkley misses another 3 pointer though. Still 14-15.

OK. I'm OK.

MrsP - congrats to Tommy's Team...any chance of him playing soon, like especially in Cardiff at the end of September???

Nooooooo! Chargedown & Sinners looking dangerous, 5m scrum.

#bricking

Thanks Gibbo and eat some tidy food!

Peej - look after our PJ. He was one of our better ones. Baff are lucky to have him.

Ah Mrs Brown's Boys is on. This will cheer me up. Very funny.

DG for the ugly sisters, 14-18 with 4 to play.

Bath playing their hearts out here, but need the 5. Mon Barf!!!!!!

Gwaaan PJ save Baff!!!!
