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.

I know nothing of Aussie RulesI have to say. Don't think I've ever even seen a game of it before.

It's a bit like gaelic football but with more goalposts, an oval ball (and oval pitch), more violence and lots of blokes in vests and really really tight shorts

You see now that just makes me want to say something pervy and rude but I shall respectuflly refrain from doing so.....


Sounds a bit crazy to me Pete, but then I got a bit baffled by gaelic football too!.

If anyone feels inclined to distract me for the next hour from my nerves it would be v much appreciated.

Also, Breaker - what sport were those results from? (have only had a quick speed read back so I think I missed that bit)

Boo !!!

On the Aussie Rules 'front' as Kiwi says you'd loved it - blokes in tight shorts and sleeveless shirts

ha, diolch Penfro!

How are you feeling now anyway? hope you're better

Just for you Dreamer

After a speedy perusal of some of the highlights I have these points to make:

1. Why the hell have I never watched this sport before?
2. guns
3. why on earth don't rugby players wear short sleaves to show off their own said guns?
4. I really did not need to see that guys ankle being broken in slo mo

Anybeans, logging off here now, Dad's picking me up in 10 mins to head on over to PyS.

Tis going to be an emotional night with the tribute for the Spences. Really brings home what is important and just how in a way, a rugby family really can be quite special.



Enjoy the evenings rugby folks, and pob lwc to the O's regs in here

Doh, sorry, memo to self, watch whole clip before posting. The 1st clip that came up on Google had awful music so I went to the next one

Enjoy your rugby tonight dreamer. I'll be lucky to see anything the way things are going. Stuck at Reading and no one seems to know what the feic is going on here.

I'm supposed to be meeting some pals at 6, prior to heading off for a meal. I've told them to crack on and I'll get there when I can.

Didn't mean to clear the place.

Evening All.

I'm bricking this one. But I still believe. Even though we're bottom of the table bar one. GULP!

Dreamer's already made it onto the tele then!!

Missed that Prop - obviously not paying attention!

Lovely silence then, wished more had done stufum after though

And the match kicks off and we have classic Biggar number 1!!

Great tribute to the Spences. Heard a few singing SUFTUM after the minute silence which was impeccably observed.

WOAH! Fight already! Gotta love the derby!!

That was very moving. Thank you West Wales

Evening all , nice rendition of SUFTUM down the Parc, had me too Rava.

Priestland's radar's bosted.

Rava - I'm sure of the boot was on the other foot...

Evenin' Peej. Biggar going for a kick...and it was a bydi marvellous one!

6-3 according to the beeb.

Sounds like a T14 semi final at the mo.

- it's 6 all at the moment with Biggar going for another and it misses.

Controversial decision. Fenby goes to score a try but he lost the ball forward just as he gets it down, but an O's player gives him a swinging arm to the chops. Should've been a penalty try and a yellow, but the TMO didn't mention that.

Sloppy play from the Ospreys backs fluffs a perfect opportunity for a try.

It's still 6 all after 32 minutes.

Saw that Cari.

Glesgae 3-0 Connacht.

Nice ass wiggle from the ref there haha!!

I was surprised too Cari as I'd have thought it would have been a penalty try...initally I'd say that they were both going low but the replay sows a swinging arm tackle here.

Jebus, another fight breaks out....this is a derby all right!

Nice bit of Tae Kwondo from Liam Williams, but Dirksen was tipping him.

Silly from Dirksen there too.....don't like that one bit

6-9 after a penalty for Biggar.

Where are the O's learning all this bad stuff?!

Well well well, there's more controversy than the Houses of Parliament going on here...the match officials need eyes on their arrse. All sorts going on.

Rava



Used to love the T14

What a bag of shoite it was last season. James Hook (interview in TRP) says they pay far more attention to defence now. That has got to tell with the fans eventually i.e. not bothrring to turn up.

Lots of holding back, sly shots, pinning players down......this game is going to blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- that's a shame about the T14 considering the money spent over there...

Prop - aye, they might as well just have big fight to sort it out.

HT 6 - 9.

Still 3-0 to the Weegies.

Cari - no falling out between you Welsh burds.

Ya know, the ones that 'attack' strangers venturing in here.


Laffed me head off when I read that the other day.

Asbo, Gibbo and I gave so much stick at The Stoop this year. It was so funny.
Carried it on to the pub and back to Hampstead.

You're not on your own there Hound, I'm surprised they got let off the hook so easily - thought there was plenty of mileage in that to tease them both for a loooooooong time.

I can't see either team keeping their full compliment on the pitch second half down the Parc .

Scarlets scrum looks technically sound but there looks to be a lot more grunt coming from the O's, I wouldn't be surprised if the O's pack tires towards the end of the game.

Os have got some good pack back up on the bench PJ.

Just thought. It will be an interesting evening st Penfro Towers.

First thing they teach French kids at school is their 3 times table...

Glesgae 15-0 Connacht.

Lamont and Murchie in for tries (1 conv).

You know me, 'Ound. I make love not war. Especially with Irish players...

Oh Dirksen you pleb! Made himself look a right tool there. Thought he's scored a try so he's celebrating to the crowd, winding them up and the try's denied due to a forward pass (rightly so).

Possibly a very quiet one Hound.

Ref and TMO in contact by Mobile Phone in Glasgow. Try given to Connacht. 15-10 to weegies at half time. Connacht have really fought their way back into this game.

To be fair I always like the Connacht spirit...plus I live on Connaught Road!!

Mon Scarlets! This is a good game. Scarlets on the back foot and now they've woken up and remembered why they won their last 3 games.

Ooof. Another one missed. Priestland really is a shoite place-kicker.

Still 9-9.

Good come back by Connacht.

Hmmmm, not sure why Lee got binned there...

Harsh yellow there.

Prop Makes you Irish mate

Denny looks like Trimble.

I never laughed so much at any Final. That all French Amlin Final at The Stoop. It was shoite. But we were all well razzed and takin de pish out of the Chef, for shoite, Frog, unimaginative, ping-pong kicking, TOP14 - dirge.

Next day made up for it.

So does Liam Williams.

Trimbs = Bambi on roller skates.


Knows his way to the try line though.


Gibbo ahoy. Howsya!!
