The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by **Pal Joey** Tue 08 Nov 2011, 7:39 am

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 picture of newly retired Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas.

Also a special picture of Thomas Domingo and wishing him all the best on a speedy recovery.

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

Ah I'll have to do it so Cari. I also have ambitious plans to flood the UK with advertising flyers for my job. Really aiming to smash into the UK market.

Guys don't quote me on this but I think Asbo has sufficient Exeter tickets sorted for you. I seem to remember him posting about a week ago.

by Cari Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:29 pm

Rava - I'm sure Kia said she had some tickets for the Leinster game as well - I'd recommend checking the Facebook event everyone, just to make sure.

That's how I navigate round Cardiff!! Ok so I have 3 free spaces to Exeter and 1 free space back! I guess Satg get's to ride shotgun as he has a return ticket

Yes, but does he have a complimation cd!!

by prop_lyd Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:33 pm

ooo that's a good point!! He's going to have to make 2!! Although my music's great anyway Erm

Dreamer - tag along with Staggy on the MS tour - you're part of a larger group anyway.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:49 pm

If he decides to go on the Monday I might Cari, am stuck in horrid work though on the Thurs and Friday!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:50 pm

Where is the Fat Controller when you need him?! Hoog is supposed to be co-ordinating tickets furious

- that lad! Just to be clear I have sorted Exe tickets for all. But I need a Scarlets-Munster one and a Bath-Leinster one and don't care too much where I sit or stand

Munsty, just to reiterate the many comments on here yesterday, in my personal experience watching you with my little two, you are absolutely made for teaching at junior school level. But Hoog, wouldn't let him anywhere near them!!! Wink

And swanny, was thinking bout your predicament too and as left-field as this may sound, I think you'd make an amazing non-exec director type, sitting in board meetings sorting out the wheat from the chaff, bringing the pie-in-the-sky strategy types back down to earth - just what they need. It needn't be boring corporate work either, most charities have boards too

by red_stag Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:52 pm

Asbo he told me he's having no role in the organising.

Monday it is Dreamer. My train isn't til tuesday to munsty

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:57 pm

Sound, Stag. I'll see if I can look into what times the tours are on etc.

Right that's Asbo that needs a ticket as well. Will ring the ticket office after work and see how many I'm actually allowed to get. Then Glas if you're about?? I might PM you later to try and sort out details. (also hope your back is feeling a bit better).

by WillyGilly Tue 08 Nov 2011, 2:59 pm

Heading to the gym for the first time in a fortnight. This is going to be painful.

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:00 pm

Well, if the Exe ticks are sorted, then I have the same requirements as Asbo re,Scarlets'n' Barf;in fact I would prefer to stand,do it at Agen,although it doesn't rain much.Is the standing bit covered at PyS?
Gibbo may need a Scarlets ticket as well. thumbsup

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:01 pm

I haven't been to the gym for ages. But I cycle to and from work, so I'm buff as f_ck anyway. Wink

STAG - Tiger Tiger is no more than a 10 minute walk from the stadium

and my bus stop is right across the road Smile

Did you type that with a Downton Abbey accent?

Mick - usually the terracing is pretty sheltered ( definitely if you stand near the back like I do), but on the last 2 occasions when it's been raining there, the wind has played havoc, so you're dry for a couple of minutes, then get a blast of rain in your face for a while. So wet weather gear would be advised just in case.

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:15 pm

dreamer, wet weather gear and wellies in honour of my namesake is all panned.Also want to get one of these before the game

Well no great loss there Lucky if they have to stay away. We can sufficiently cover all three.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:21 pm

Ah yeah that's a nice hat Mick Smile

They had a really good sale down at the Scarlets shop on the weekend actually, was gutted I couldn't make it down there to get really good deals.

In the shop you'll also get to see the famous scoreboard from when Llanelli beat NZ. I love they've put that in there.

Ooh, hark at that, he's got his own bus stop?! Wink

by red_stag Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:22 pm

Prop I assumed we would be afternoon we'll take our time. The train is 3pm so I decided wait til Tuesday rather than rush on Monday.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:24 pm

What do you expect Asbo, he's from Pembrokeshire. I'm surprised he doesn't have his own bus.

by Glas a du Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:26 pm

I recommend the terrace as we can all stand together and the banter will be excellent. thumbsup

by Smirnoffpriest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:26 pm

Mick I prefer the sheep hats they have with flaps over the ears and sheep ears on top with a Scarlets tag on.

Glas, don't worry, Gibbo really is Hoog's dad - its in the jeans apparently

They don't have any online,although there's a photo of one steam

Thing is, it doesn't get Siberian down here,so I'd rarely wear it Laugh

by Smirnoffpriest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:44 pm

True unless your in the freezer that is the S Wales coast then there's no need for a sheep hat lol.

Still looks funny

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:49 pm

Toulon are busily searching for a ground to play their Amlin match vs Petrarca on Thursday,perhaps Nimes, Monaco or Lyon;Mayol is still waterlogged, and more rain is forecast,and if they declare forfeit...

Is that a sticky back one,Glas?I'm starting to get a collection on the back of my van.

by Glas a du Tue 08 Nov 2011, 3:53 pm

No, it's a rather fetching pin. Photo up in FB pub.

Will that travel to the meet Glas?!

Crikey! I don't want to risk losing it!

It may...

By the way folks, 2 weeks in a row i've been the top scorer in the Pro12 Fantasy league. Johnny Sexton has 44 points in 2 games, an essential buy!

I was at a meeting last night with some guy from sport ni (not rugby related) but he mentioned something about a new programme Ulster rugby are planning to indentify players who are over 6'3(?) in clubs, schools etc. and try and fast track them or something.

Sounds like they are planning a new coaching and talent identification program up this way too.

Anyone know anything about it?

by Rava Tue 08 Nov 2011, 4:42 pm

Ulster have been running with that for some time now Rodders. They announced something last season but didn't have the same publicity in here as the Leinster one Wink

by **rodders** Tue 08 Nov 2011, 4:45 pm

Ah ok Rava. I probably didn't know as I missed the criteria by about a foot Smile

Sounds like there is a new programme up here as they are training up coaches I think.

by Thomond Tue 08 Nov 2011, 5:04 pm

Glas read what I read after that show some cope on next time.

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 08 Nov 2011, 5:36 pm

Wow,
rodders is 7'3 Erm

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 08 Nov 2011, 5:42 pm

I could tell he was tall from the way he typed.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 5:45 pm

Glas - PM i ti.

by red_stag Tue 08 Nov 2011, 5:50 pm

Anyone remember the good old daya when P.Wallace referred to Paul.
