The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

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 pictures of Doug Howlett above the bar!


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

Dreamer.
I am not a fan but I know what it's like to lose.

Diolch Rava

2-1. Oh sugar. Dreamer, it;s a tough time for United to lose. They paid the price in my view for fielding weakened teams earlier on who didn't get the job done. The league is still there for them though so cheer up! The FA Cup game with Man City in January is also a big one.

ah it'll just be a disaster if Vidic is really badly injured. We've been defensively wobbly all season, we'll be even worse without him! Phil Jones has pretty much been our only shining light this season. Tis rebuilding time for us I think.

And the FA cups is going to be massive. Poopie to draw city in the 3rd round though. Revenge will be the only word on the players' minds I think

Ref gave a very soft free to United there, Smalling was all over him! The last 3-4 minutes showed why English football is behind. Your strength lies in keeping it on the deck and playing it through the middle so why the feck would you hoof it up the field when you have no one incredibly tall and your skills are best utilised on the ground? Other countries like Germany, Holland and Spain would have played to their strengths.

Glas a du wrote:That's a conundrum though Thomond. There have been modern Welsh language bands since the 60's but they all have the sane problem, their influences are all English bands. Every successful Welsh language band has a readily identifiable English counterpart who are better at it. Take those influences away and you take away the pop/rock element completely. For a language to survive kids have to be able to live their life through it.

He's good ya know. Right to the source. Make Irish and Welsh sexy to the Yank X-Factor generation. They are selling their souls cheaply, to people who could not care a tosh about them.
A basterd, phooked-up, cash-influenced - race, who just want their attention to feed the insidious, Corporate - animal. And they dont know it. Yet.

As for the ancient Welsh & Irish languages. The stuff that makes us - US. Sing it. Talk it. Live it.

Or it will die. And another shining light.... will go out.

Dont sell your soul to the Company Goal.

English footy's problem is ever that the players don't have good brains. Been like it for years.

Exactly, that was my point. Not having a brain to realise how to beat a team.

Apologies in advance to dreamer for this

but

Ho ho Flip ho Christmas has come early, both Manchester sides are gone from the Champions League.

I have put up with so much stick in recent years from all of the Manchester United supporters at work, being an Arsenal fan, and now it's time for payback.

FFS there is so much musical pleasure out hre, and we're just biding time.
Rava, how you doing? O'Leary still exists

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU93u7RhB-U
ManU out? ManC never capable. Marseille!!

It'll only get worse.

All the talented kids get put into academies where all they hear is how great they are and it's like they'er being conditioned to play to orders. No thinking for themselves at all. This then get's transferred to club and then international level. You get occasional players like David James who actually have a brain, but tis becoming more and more rare. England need to go back to basics and really restructure the whole set up of their game, but it won't happen while the Premiership makes so much money, so England will continue to fall short.

That's how I see it anyway (and I could be completely wrong! I know there are other factors as well)


Ha no worries Pete! My dad's an Arsenal fan too, I've no doubt he's going to be very happy this evening too

Paul Scholes was the last English player to have a brain and they didn't play him for years. Dreamer there are positives, I was reading recently that there at some counties in England they won't be playing on full size pitches at u-11 but will play 9 a side on smaller pitches to work on technique. Training games are also supposed to be limited to 2 touch. The FA hope to bring this in across the board by 2014.

Will be interesting to see if they actually go through with it Thomond. What I've noticed is that in the Premiership, the English players seem to be the dogged, hard working ones and rely on the flair players like RVP, Ronaldo (when he played here), Nani etc to add that bit of spark, then they fail to understand why England as a team don't play well, and can't seem to grasp the fact it's because England don't have any flair players of their own.

If this new skills and technique coaching does get rolled out, twill be interesting tos ee how it improves English football, will take years to see the benefits of it mind.

I think there building a centre of excellence aswell,like France have in Clairefontaine

The 2 x massively, cash-rich, Manchester teams, are out of the very Cup that feeds them. O YES! Love it. Take that ye suckers. Money cant buy you love.

Deep Joy.

Ajax are rebuilding but went out on GD. Ajax 0 - Real 3. Phhoke em.

Anyone watching the reason people are losing their houses, their families and livelihoods? On BEEB now.

Complete and utter basterds.

Unfortunately not.....well not until Glos have anyway


Aye safe trip Glas, if your staying in Cardiff tomorrow eve, my house are going down the local for a couple so your more than welcome.

Rava,there are certain treatments, but you can always change affinity.

Mick(TEFC) wrote:glas, why do you persist in posting incomprehensible trivia? trying to increase Telewelli Harlechs ratings

Because it's annoying you.

Not an option Chef.
Sure I've been a Leeds supporter since 1965. lots of opportunity to jump ship over the years.
But ditch Ulster? Na won't happen, ever. Like my Leinster buddy I remember standing at Ravenhill for interpros along with one man and his dog. For a small club we have been fairly successful in the Pro era. I would like to think we will be again soon.

70's Leeds man meself. Feel the pain. Reap the joyous reward. What has happened in the last 3/4 years at Leinster, has had me in rapture. The new fans, like my bro and others, who just joined us recently- will never know that feeling. They expect it now. No way ready for the fact that we will dip and the pain will come. I am presently & actively enjoying the fact, that we expect to beat the best teams in Europe now. But, that counts for 10% of my time supporting my team.

The pain is so essential to really feel the joy.

Just home from work, time to chill out in front of the telly for a bit before bed.

Gibbo: you should try being a Glos fan....always the nearly men then drop off for a few seasons then the nearly men then sell our potential!!

Ah listening to a bit of Tony Bennett fair play I really like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPAmDULCVrU&ob=av2e

Prop darlin, saw Tony Bennett live in Las Vegas. Oh my. It was a Top 10 wish list. Forget the trannie Gaga.
Gaga, who rides on the coat-tails of a Master. But, its all good, if it promotes good music. So, Go Gaga. Nice one

Just sayin...

Nite all. Bedtime

Fair enough rava, just love that song!!

Wondering if Quo'll top Flogging Molly for me....or The Mighty Wurzels!!

Night all till the 'morrow, fun afternoon in Swansea for me!!

Gaga......I would











Just saying

For the morning


Rog will get 100 caps this weekend but whats the most amount of points he's scored in one game??

Theres a surprise. Up there with; the Pope a Catholic.

P.S. Chef, the playlist in my car is mostly Welsh.

Hugs... re Gaga. Neck of a bottle job man?

ROG. Only a 100 caps? Waster.

Felipe finished on more with Leinster and is building on it with Toulon. And will always be a class above. Player-wise and man-wise.

Raw culchie vs a multi-lingual, intellectual, sublimely-talented rugby speler? Tough choice.

I know who I'd roide. ROG. OK. Cos its a veritable virgin.

I dunno. 29 pts? Sexton missed a kick for the HC record in the Final.

I think he means a 100 HC caps. ROG has a lot more than a 100 with Munster!
ROG showed up Felipe in the big games.

Bore da.

bed sit in Limerick

"But darlin I have to go loike, it's for work."

"You no come back here with other womans perfume or lipstick on collar or I will break legs."

A man (we will call RS) pulls the ill-fitting door behind him. It squeaks in protest. Everybody has it in for me today he thought.

It's a cold morning in Limerick. A pale sun fails to quicken the frost. The excitement he has been choking back from showing his exotic but high maintenance Slavic Lover surges through his body like a postboy who is one of six postboys in an office who has been told four will loose their jobs at the end of the month trying to impress his boss. But now there is also trepidation. He has the responsibility of kicking of the "Meet". He will be on the road for 8 days. He will be drinking and in the company of people he's barely ever met. Feic it he tells himself, am I not a referee trained by the Munster branch? We are made of sterner stuff than this. Yahoo! World do your worst! I declare this show is on the road!...

Glas, I've met her. She speaks with a perfect Munster accent

Bore da Pawb - &

Sure, yer man has texted me from da airport - "In airport can't wait. Got about 2 hours sleep, look & feel like a boiled sh!te. Have you stocked up on turnips loike ? " Only 8 more days to get through Staggy

27 is my guess at points for ROG.


and bore da pawb, hope everyone has a lovely day, got to to the office now

Glas and Penfro

Penfro ill meet you at Cardiff Central. I shall wear a red ribbon in my lapel and be clutching a copy of the Irish Times and a bushels of turnips.

Didn't the good Dr reunite with Czeika (sp?) at Stade F?

Morning all. Varsity match ths afternoon followed by fES's leaving drinks at the Ship Tavern in Holborn this evening - the makings of a cracking day

I got a similar message from Staggy this morning

"In the airport after about 2 hours sleep this Poopie just got real"



Well this Poopie ain't getting real for me till I wake up tomorrow, working till half ten tonight
