The Stratospheric Supersonic Dew Drop Inn, Roswell, New Mexico

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 "sleepy" Roswell New Mexico, take off point for the first ever supersonic free-fall this week.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Felix Baumgartner and Chris Budgen up on the wall.

It looks like my nearest Waitrose is in Glasgow!



Are their potato based snacks worth the trip?

PS Rava - Post Office tomorrow so you should have something either Saturday or Monday.

Half time in Porto. NI leading 1-0 against the 3rd ranked team in de woiled ma!!

"Don't look Ethel!!!!!!!"

Showing your age there PJ.

I remember my parents telling me about that song!

(With my clothes on!)

Unbelievably confident defending from Cathcart 10 mins ago, deflecting the ball onto his own crossbar. You can't buy skill like that.

Wowsers NI 1-0 up against Portugal!

Yep Willie and deflected it in such a way that it rebounded to a team mate.

Ah, I can see de aulfellas are gatherin. Round up de Usual Suspects.

Here. I'm doin a special offer vanavond. All drinks free to the 50 plussers. That includes you MrsP. Soon. I cant wait. Revenge, is a dessert, best served ice-cold. Just sayin...


For us all.

I've got it on a vinyl 45 somewhere round here MrsP - it was my dad's though.

Honest!

Come on NI, where are they ranked at the moment?

I'm sure most of the footie fans in here know who scored NI's goal tonight but most won't know his background. He played with Derry City in the LOI. There is talent in Ireland. North and South. Don't tell me there isn't. What channel is the game on (tried asking Rava on twitter, mustn't have seen it)


Trap will have stayed his execution in the eyes of the FAI. I wanted him gone before the Euros. Nothing has changed. He is not the guy to bring the team forward.

Watching Aus v Eng 2003.

The skill level is superb. Scrums are not messy. Above all else the one thing I notice is that every phase has a player taking the ball at pace unless they are kicking it.

In the days of pre-blitz defence there was so much more space.

Jeebus, I had the old girl well past that mark!

PM for Thom.

Game on Sky Sports 1 Thomond.

It is pretty clear that mathmatical ability declines sharply with age!

Youse lads have lost count!

I'm not even 49 yet!

Asbo,

From the videos you posted I thought you only had those thoughts about Stade Francais players, no?

Cheers Rav. Seem to have been a decent strike from McGinn. A super player he was for Derry. One of the better producers of Irish talent in Ireland. Partiuclalry in the winger department. McGinn, McClean and Pat McCourt. Three cracking players. McGinn has phenomenal speed and quick feet. Cause us numerous problems during his time here.


Was freaking delighted to see him leave!

Run like the wind As....I'll hold her off for you!!

Ah sure he can run away as fast as he can, that's not very fast by the way!

It'll keep!

Love that track Gibbo, Van at his finest. All round.

£1 in the Juker, I'm picking this one.

for big lad.

15 minutes played in the second half. Still 1-0 but Portugal looking like they will get an equaliser some time soon

Shoite corner to Portugal.....

There's a goal coming for Protugal lads unfrotunately, it's only a matter of time I think. Mon Northern Ireland!


I didn't realise Roy Carroll was still playing, making some good saves so far.

Lasers?!!

WTF?

G'wan lads! Time to turn the screw!

Mine either. :noncensored:

Best stop now As.

Michael O'Neill, the NI manager also deserves a big mention. Seems to be doing great work there. I felt he underachieved at Shamrock Rovers in some aspects. With the talent he had they should have romped to the league last year but they barely got there. Their Europa League exploits are unparalled in an Irish context though.


His absence has also been felt this year, some of Rovers' players have been shoite, but they have disintegrated without him. A very good manager. Mon NI. 20 minutes left lads!

Fantastic defending there.

Peej,

Looks like I'll be travelling over for the LV= game Bath v Dragons on the Saturday next month. I'll confirm when I'm in work next week. Always wanted to visit the Rec.

Equaliser for Portugal. 11 minutes to go. Hold on for the draw lads.

AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!Bollix!

Ah bollix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Helder Postiga grabs a scrappy one to tie it up. Hope they don't collaps after this, could see it happening. 12/13 minutes left with stoppages. Come on lads, a brilliant result if you can hold out!

The lads look shattered now, they aren't pressing Portugal anymore...just sitting back .

Into injury time. Hasn't been a physio on the pitch all game and they are adding FIVE minutes.

This is not good for the heart (even for young ones)! Come on lads. 3 minutes left!

Anyone else see Germany v Sweden

60 minutes - Germany 4-0 Sweden

90 minutes - Germany 4-4 Sweden

Wow. Unreal.

I did Stag, massive blow for Ireland. Sweden will slaughter us I'd say. Hopefully that will get rid of Trap. Now if the IOC take on Delaney we might actually see something positive in footballing terms in the Republic!


IFA seem to be developing things well, a shame to see them losing a lot of their players to us to be honest.

Very proud of those lads tonight. Fantastic performance and result.

Ah well sure a draw will have to do I suppose

Denial. PJ? As? Rav? Thoughts?
