The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, The Patch

by **Pal Joey** Sat Sep 22, 2012 3:11 pm

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 The Patch - a tiny rugby union* community nestled in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne in the week before the AFL Grand Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Willie Falloon, Joel Conlon, Peter Murchie, Lewis Jetta, Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Frazier Climo.

Ale

I have too many friends from Llanelli. They wouldnt approve of such a lifestyle choice.

I pledge allegiance to the One True Region of Wales, and to the ideals of Galacticos for which it stands, one Principality under Shane, with fake tan and hairspray for all.

Hmmm 7/20...better than nothing I guess!

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:17 pm

I got the teams right on the World Cup Whistle, but not the year. I shouldn't have justified it. Still, I answered the question correct eh Stag Yahoo

I know you love the Dragons and all that, so won't dock me the point.

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:18 pm

7 for me, unless Stag is going to be a buzzard

by Suspicious lurker Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:19 pm

I had all my answers typed out and battery died just as I went to send I honestly got 13 right

by **Ozzy3213** Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:20 pm

So I officially got 12, but I am claiming 14 as the chess board one is clearly 204 and my answer of Gibbo being as old as the fecking hills is also clearly correct!!! Wink

by prop_lyd Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:22 pm

I'll give you the Gibbo one Ozzy!!

Is it bad I forgot that Ulster won the h.c?! Run

by **Pal Joey** Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:24 pm

I got a perfect 10. Wink

Ospreylians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free,
We've golden props, a wealth of backs,
Our home is Liberty:

Our boys abound in nature's gifts,
Some beauts, some rich, some rare,
In history's page let every stage,
Advance Ospreylia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing,
ADVANCE OSPREYLIA FAIR!

Jessie J has an autobiography out. I may buy a copy just to throw at her.

by red_stag Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:44 pm

Very off topic but good to see a football club bucking the trend with hiring/firing managers every year. Newcastle United have just offered their manager an eight year extension saying "If you look at clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have shown that stability gives you the best platform to achieve success and that is the model we wish to emulate here."

by Rava Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:47 pm

Good deal for Pards. I'd say given Newcastle's recent history with managers he can expect a reasonably big payout in 18 months to 2 years time. Or am I being cynical?

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:48 pm

Alan Pardew's doing a fine job with Newcastle but I'll be surprised if he lasts eight years, especially with Mike Ashley running things.

Either way good deal for him. Maybe Newcastle are straight jacketing themselves.

PM for lucky.

Nice quiz stag. I've been in meetings so I couldn't do it. Reckon I would have got 13, but that's easy to say now.
Wink

Train home soon thankfully.

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:55 pm

And a PM back to Dog

by Glas a du Thu Sep 27, 2012 10:11 pm

See Stag, Ozzy knew 64 was wrong as well.

Sorry, But Fergie and Wenger had the time to operate, but also the pressure to get results. A fixed term contract gives you neither!
