The Dew Drop Inn

First topic message reminder :

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 only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

I wonder why that is? Maybe I should start a campaign.

Campaign for the Reinstatement of Anglo Posters. Now... to think of an acronym...

Custard - I reckon you're going to be a great addition to the pub!


It is a bit strange that there aren't that many English posters though.

I'll go along with that.

Nah we have a few Custard. LDCPETE, Hound of Harrow, Nottins and em ... HELP! Portnoy - when he comes back.

Nottins and Portnoy don't exactly post regularly though. Can we count Asbo - yes he's a full blooded Scotsman but he follows Exeter Chiefs.

We've got Swanny as well yes?

Not organic lettuce I hope, Stag?

I'm in a funny mood today. I blame lucky for giving me a platform for my ramblings.

Get out of the pub now Has no-one told you this is a traditional Celtic-Centric pub for Celtic-Centric People

Now that's out of the way, pull up a comfy chair Custie What'll you have ? A nice It's either that or , or
(We used to also serve <cider> , <redwine>, <stout> and <bubbly> but they got lost in the move)

Good to have you on board

Thanks rugbydreamer - not sure if I can get away with a 4 hr lunch break every day though - time kind of ran away with me today!

Gibson - still not enough for a match day 22 though!

I cant wait to see his reaction to that. Check his name.

Oh thanks Dreamer. LittleSwannygirl. A founder-member. I am SO dead.

I'll just claim senility - as per.

ha, oops, sorry Gibbo!

I blame the generations of oppression at the hands of the imperial English, erm, German and Greek, monarchistic, faschist, erm, Westminster governments and their cuts to vital public services and ,erm, their stealth taxes and slavish adherence to capitalist dogma...

Meanascustard, good post-ironic name. Welcome.

Thankfully I remember quite a few I went to Happy Days...

Cariadwr, are you sure that wasn't Happy Daze? Or maybe Purple Haze?? Tried 'em all, mixed bag tbh!

I'm not even going to rise to that one!! Reckon Stag's dizzy turn (Spanish cucumber) has affected his thinking!

Custard,
It's quality not quantity. That's what the missus tells me, but she lies a lot. Got no choice man.

It really IS good to have you in here though. Feel de rugby-lurve.

We'll make that English 22 yet pal.

Thanks for the welcome Glas. Don't forget French, Danish, Norwegian... oh yes, and the Romans (what did they ever do for us...)

Well how long has Kiwi been in England now? Surely he can play in an English 22!

Why not? It hasn't stopped Hape, Hartley or Flutey

I refer the poster to the answer I gave some time ago...

Oh dear God!! In soccer news Paul McShane is captaining Ireland now. There is no hope left!

Oh Stag, I really thought you would have realised writing the names down wasn't needed. It was all implied.


Oh and I'm not surprised at all by McShane being captain. I'll support Trap and Ireland through whatever they choose but I do find a lot of his selections baffling.

I just noticed that a good looking fella who shares my surname plays for the Dubs. We must be related...

Penfro - where you been? Enjoy the game Saturday?

Trap should be left og after his contract ends. Also,McShane oh my God

Cari,

Is it not a bad thing if you're related?

red_stag wrote:Oh dear God!! In soccer news Paul McShane is captaining Ireland now. There is no hope left!

Didn't think much to him in 'Lovejoy'

Thomond,

You know a greater knowledge on Irish football than I do. Who is the goalkeeper David Forde?

Also, why hasn't Walters been playing?

MBTGOG wrote:Cari,

Oh yeah...Is distant 16th cousin twice removed OK?

If it's the fella I'm thinking of Munsty, he is an ex Derry City keeper now at Millwall as far as I know.

Walters isn't in the squad due to "injury" or so he says.Along with McCarthy.

That's a shame. He looks a good player to me. Certainly better than Cox anyway.

Like yer style Munsty. Believe.

I actually watched my birth-country's football team, the other night. They are doing really well, on very limited resources. In fairness. Top of the group.

Problem is, I only knew 4 or 5 of the players.

I must do better.com

We played Brazil the other night and man, they really are good on the ball.

Argentina up next, on Weds.

Munsty - I know you like your photography. This is a rather sad but fascinating story:

Munsty, I thought Cox did alright the other night. Anyway Super Kev is better than Walters so he won't be starting in a few months. I seem to be in a select group who would like Trap to go. We have a decent crop of young players at the moment who should be getting game time.

Gibbo,

I'm annoyed I didn't get to see the game but it was one of the girls' birthday and we went Salsa dancing.

I support Ireland but if we don't make it to the European Championships, then I think Trap has a lot to answer for as he has been an incredibly negative coach.

For the Luckless_Pedestrian.

I am ashamed to say, as a Dan Fan for 30 years, I never made the connection. Until he mentioned it.

For shame Gibbo. You auwta & shudda - have known better.

Gibbo - I rediscovered this song the other day, and think you'll like it:

Man, aren't you having fun. Salsa is like sex on the dance-floor.

I watched the whole game. Ireland did a job. A job they failed to do vs the same team when we had so many foreign stars in our side way back.

I was proud tbh. Are they all Irish?

Thomond is the inside-man for Irish soccer. I tend to listen to him on that score. He knows his onions from grass-roots up.

Knows feck all about GAA though.

Gibbo,I know as much about GAA as you know about music! :run1:

Didn't like the song then Gibbo? Hurrumph!

*storms out of the pub, tripping on the carpet on the way out*

Technically they're all Irish but I know what you mean.

There were only 3 non-Irish born players in the squad.
