The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Wed 7 Dec 2011 - 17:33

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?

I know its incredibly disappointing for our legions of Welsh fans but I don't even know if there were cameras at the ground Glas. It's a real shame it wasn't televised really but Aironi playing away on the same night Toulouse are in action is never going to get the punters interested. They are still a wee bit off being of the standard to compete in the HC consistently. Plus Ulster aren't seen as the big draw either (let's be honest) Smile

Still, 9 consecutive home wins in Europe- hopefully make it 10 over Leicester. That would really be great!

Decent win for Ulster - you can't underestimate any team in the HC. These days defences are so much better than 5 years ago. A bonus point win against any team is just that; a bonus.

SA taught everyone about defence in 2007.

That's why I say HC qualification should be tied to league place...

...hang on, it's day 2 of the "tour of 4"

Yahoo

Already had delirious texts from Stag!

Bore da neb / good morning no one. It is beautiful outside. Cold, crisp, sunny and dry. I loves it, I does.

I really enjoyed last night's match, even though it was far from being a classic. When the Blues attacked there was something approaching a roar from the crowd, which surprised me a bit. There was nothing approaching a roar at the Liberty last weekend.

Also, Wayne Barnes is a good lad!

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 8:28

Sorry Glas, you hadn't posted when I started writing my post. Please don't give my ticket to someone else!

by Glas a du Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:10

I don't have one for you do I? Wasn't Dreamer getting yours?

by Glas a du Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:11

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:11

Please tell me you're kidding!

by Glas a du Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:12

OK I'm kidding. Hang on though, you've made me paranoid now, just going to check...

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:14

That was not funny!

by **Pal Joey** Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:16

While you're there... weren't you supposed to drop mine off at the sale yards?
I've been here since 6:25am as agreed and it's feicin freezing standing here in my summer clothes!

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:17

Anyone heard from Chef

??!!

by **Pal Joey** Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:19

Or was that the Magistrate's Court? I'm so confused now...

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:26

Have you tried sending him a message on Facebook, Prop?

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:32

Done....now to wait!!

by Guest Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:33

bore da pawb, just about to rush to the library to see if i can get the blydi song sheets printed off.

Wayne Barnes was brilliant last night, fair play to him. Game was okay, but never really got going, score line flattered the Blues really. Had a lovely evening though, has sat up the weekend brilliantly!

Da iawn to Ulster on their win

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:34

So,

Where are all the "meet up" folks today?

Quite a few must have been in Cardiff last night, right?

Where are you all today?

by Adam D Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:36

Morning all - sorry about my rant yesterday.

I am now chilled and wont do it again (and sorry for any typos- I am typing this with my feet as my hands have been restrained to stop me self harming)

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:40

Awh Adam,

Sure I meant it about here being a good place to offload.

I suspect this place is part of the reason that the regs don't lose it out there too often.

Glad you are feeling a bit happier.

Hug

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:41

There were six of us at the Blues - Edinburgh game, Mrs P. It's the Scarlets v Munster today, which should be one hell of a game of rugby! Very Happy

Hobo, no need to apologise. This is the place to rant!

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:43

How many are off to the Scarlets game then?

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:47

Morning all, just a quick check in from Asbo's mansion near Exeter. Everyone except Hughie has enjoyed a hearty breakfast (lesson, if a local buys you a pint of "special" cider don't drink it. Especially if you've just nicknamed him "Wookie" laughing

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:47

Now you're asking, Mrs P! There must be about a dozen of us, I think.

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:52

I thought Hughie had promised to make breakfast for everyone!

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 9:53

Not as much as my match...i'm so fired up I think i'm ready to kill someone!!!!!!

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:00

Well at least there won't be any chairs in the way when you try to catch the ball! Wink

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:02

Morning all

Hope everyone enjoys their day. I'll be fixing a leaky kitchen tap this morning before an afternoon watching the as much rugby as possible.

cuppa

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:03

Oh here we go........if my match was at an earlier/different time I could prove to you i could catch and boxing

there'll probably be some valley's boys needles to get in my way!!

I am a bit jealous of this Munster trip but at least i'll have worked up an appetite by the time we get to Exeter!!

Oh and if anyone fancies coming in my car to keep me and stag company feel free....we have disney songs and will stop at a well known fast food chain. PLUS: you'll be saving me from a sore loser/winner chat.

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:12

I might take you up on that offer, Prop. I've made a CD too - no Disney songs but a few Christmas songs thrown in!

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:12

Prop,

I just love that you can post,

"...i'm so fired up I think i'm ready to kill someone!!!!!!"

and,

"....we have disney songs and will stop at a well known fast food chain."

within a few minutes!

A homicidal Disney lover!

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:13

Exactly MrsP......quite a few people find it funny that I love winding people up on the pitch but off it I love musicals and have a drama degree!!

And Lucky: your more than welcome....must have 1 can of cider

as an induction!!

by MrsP Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:36

Do you sing Disney songs on the pitch?

by Guest Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:48

Hey everyone,

Stag says hello!

He's wearing a wonderful hat!

We're just about to head off to the waffle shop for some food, before getting the train to Llanelli.

so excited!!!

Hope everyone who's travelling down gets here okay, and for everyone have a great weekend and enjoy the rugby.

Ymlaen Scarlets!

by **Pal Joey** Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:53

Anyone watching Wales - Samoa in the 7s?

7-0 to Samoa but Wales on the attack... and Owen B in under the sticks so 7-7 now.

The waffles sound heavenly dreamer. Say g'day to Stag for me. Very Happy

by **Pal Joey** Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:57

Richie Pugh now scores in the corner, kick just wide. 12-7 Wales

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 10:58

Haha MrsP; I may try that this weekend and see if it works!!

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 11:00

by Thomond Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 12:22

Prop just go for a simple pre game chant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALu0J1QRnJo The Americans really have to do everything bigger

Or just "lace into the Kumquats,big hits no quits, put him on their arse and make them feel the pain. No fecking respect, Manic aggression. "

I did that this morning and got my 3rd try in 4 games!

by Glas a du Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 12:35

Pride will pinch Thom.

by Glas a du Sat 10 Dec 2011 - 13:11

Right, I didn't want to post this but I'm desperate. Does anybody remember where I said I was putting the tickets to keep them safe?

I have had the first s, am about to have the second s and then I'll have the third s and check up thumbsup
