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.

That's what I was told Hoog. Really is fantastic.

Just writing you a PM, Prop/Penfro. Information on your next opponents.

Penfro - aye I am watching now

Rev, you're some Muppet but I love. We should organise a meet up soon.

ha well that I can fully understand Penfro!

REV - thanks a bundle mucker. We got our 1st win (friendly away to Aberbeeg 10 - 35) so any help to get a win next week would be great

That I am. But yes we should. Going to miss watching RL etc in glorious HD.

I can't PM too well off my iPhone, but calling all Sarries.

Obviously this can't be taken as gospel, but Whiteheads had a ten and thirteen that kicked a lot against us in pre-season, their loosehead was their stronger scrummager and they didn't compete against us when we threw lineouts to the middle of the lineout.

Evening all. It turns out I'm staying at the resort that Ulster trained at before the HEC final. Got chatting to the owner earlier and because I'd mentioned growing up on a farm i had to explain what a slurry pit was. He said the Ulster lads were a great bunch when they stayed.

Momentum now then Penfro. Home game too isn't it? I don't know what Sarries are like now player wise, but we did have a fair bit of joy with our two centres who are pretty strong runners too crashing up and running lines. But keep it under your hat that I've said anything, as I know a couple of their players fairly well including the ten (though I'd sooner the Sarries won).

I'll be honest Kiwi, I didn't know till yesterday what a slurry pit was.

REV - you're a gem

Good man Pete. You are a great ambassador for all of us.

ah what did they do Penfro?? I can't watch ITV4 at the moment.

He's got a cut in the outside corner of his eye. He didn't seem too bothered when he was being interviewed afterwards

Left eye - HERE

Righty, time for crackers, cheese and chutney, a steaming , Downton Abbey and cwtching up on the sofa.

SUFTUM.

Buenas tardes, amigos. There is nothing that can be said which would add to the heartfelt postings that the regs have already put up about the shocking events of yesterday. I try to put myself into the position of Mrs Spence to be able to empathise, but it's just impossible - my brain recoils in the face of such awful tragedy.

On a lighter note, Himself and I are away to La Bella Italia tomorrow. Catch you all later. And stay safe, please.

Jones was great for Wasps yesterday. We've not had a controlling 10 like him since Alex King. Cipriani brought some great stuff to our game at times, but SJ was superb in the way he controlled yesterday's game. 9/9 from the tee too.

Have a good time puma.

Just getting into The Revolution Will Be Televised. Man. Off the wall. I love it.

Thanks, Hound, will raise a glass or two to absent friends. Staying at my brother's tomorrow night, out to Verona , staying in Garda for 10 days. It's going to be great.

Nice puma.

Why should I pine for any 'vaaleeys' Gibbo, I'm not from South Wales am I..........
Pining for Stevo obviously, he looks so strange in Wasps colours

See, typical Gog, no sense of humour...

Stevo looked fine in a Wasps shirt on Saturday.

The Vicar yesterday played the first hymn to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun".

In a christening.

Morning folks. Hope the Ulster folk are doing ok .

Couldn't find my feicin car keys this morning so had to taxi to work .

Chwarae teg Glas, she must have some sense of humour - I mean look who she's ended up with

(nearly choked on my dessert... it's evening here)

Penfro, when do you get to Garda? We leave on the 28th - will we miss you? A meet for a bicchiere di vino would be great! My mobile number is in the FB pub contact info. In the meantime, I wait while himself continues to run his bl**dy hotel over the phone. There really, really isn't anybody else who knows how to order booze??? What happens if they run out over the next 2 weeks?

Bhooooogher - we get to Treviso on Friday 28th. Match on Saturday 29th and then up to Moniga del Garda on Sunday 30th

Curses! Another time, Penfro. And there's always Dublin next May.

We'll always have Dublin

Or Belfast if it doesn't work out.

Haircut, shave and new glasses. I feel like a new man from the mess I saw in the mirror first thing this morning. Just need to lose a stone now and I'll be very happy.

Quiet in yer today.

Afternoon, if anyone's about.

Afternoon 'ound

Sounds like your looking sharp Munsty thats the spirit!!

A bit quiet in here. At least it's civilised as always.

Unlike "the lounge" which was the scene of some loose remarks.

Thanks Staggy and Rava for your messages - the guy went feral at me!
Has been dealt with but now I'm sort of quietly fuming about it.

Know what you mean Linebreaker. Has been on my ignore list for quite a while but I got a text pointing it out to me. Had to let you know.

Been 'distracted' by the awful events of Saturday but wanted to say that I had a fantastic time on Friday night and was nice to hook Rava and Stag (and Notch briefly) .

Sorry didn't do a better tour of Belfast on Saturday afternoon stag, was a bit worse for wear.... hope you had a good time up there anyways.

I hope lucky doesn't see my "it's" above.

Had a good message exchange with Rava - he filled me in with some background info. Still, no excuse for that kind of behaviour.

Yesterday was the first Sunday since Feb without footy here. It felt kind of different. I watched a couple of ITM matches though. I really can get into that comp. Such full on rugby. All the grounds have character and if you're lucky... a nice mountain range in the background with lush pastures for miles, white 'dots' grazing away.

Yea we had a great time on Saturday. Ultimate tour of Belfast. Drove down by the Odessy and the Titanic buildings then down by Queens University and Botanic Avenue. Then into the Shankill and the Falls and all along the "Peace Line" on both sides across by the Ardoyne and Crumlin Road.

A poster belittled the tributes to Nevin Spence as sickeningly sentimental and did not react well to people telling him that it is not the time nor place to such sentiment.
