blonde poker forum

Commiserations to the Welsh (great game of rugby tho) -- Congrats to the Scots & (Grudgingly) the English. Now its time for the Irish to stand up and be counted. We need to win,score 4 tries, and be 8 points ahead at the end. No pressure then (Argentina have not conceded a try yet) and if we do we play the All-Blacks in Cardiff (ooops but remember Munster in 1978).

Anyway armchair warmed, fridge loaded, dog outside, openers located, starting to lubricate the throat (should be fun on Blonde Bash sat tonight)

Bród Éireannach go deo

Pob Lwc i'r Iwerddon

Thank you -- I think we need all the luck we can get

I'm afraid to watch it

OMG -- this house is hopping -- Lets do it

i am sorry as i normally love to see our celtic brethen do well but unless argentina get atleast a bonus point today scotland will play france who are coming onto there game at the right time in the next round

i would much rather play an argentina side thats just had a hard physical battle with the irish

so i have to say i would prefer it if Ireland didnt progress so Scotland
could have a chance of making the last 4 for the first time in history

Whilst I can understand your feelings Iron -- sing this and we will still be friends  ;angel;

i assume iron u have erased 1991 from your memory

hastings misses a sitter in the last minute at 6-6 then that englishman of questionable parentage rob andrew scores a drop goal.

ive tried to forget too, unfortunately i cant

AAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Not looking good -- but I have faith

About as much chance as the Welsh now...

i dont fancy scotlands chances against argentina in the next round either

can we not all start again and give scotland someone like portugal in the quarters

Credit where credit is due Argentina are playing very well (Irelands try was the first they have conceded) -- but still watch this space 40 mins -- here we go (no more tries for them 3 more from us)

I have just checked the odds on my chances calculator and the result is ...no chance.  Sorry.  :(

check it again -- keep the faith

game on

 ;surrender;

up to your lot now Iron -- Best of luck

What an awful RWC it's been for the home nations. Only two of the four qualiflying for the quarter finals is awful and were lucky that it's two as Italy missed that late penalty. Can't see either England or Scotland competing in the quarters and wouldn't be surprised if the semi's are an all southern hemisphere affair.

thanks but i dont fancy our chances

agreement in principle -- it seems that when it comes to sport we are the pits -- flogging grounds for houses -- participative certificates at schol FFS -- the sooner we recoginse winners the better

Iron ? u in Dublin next week end -- we will lobby for a break if you are for the match

i do actually - i dont think it will be pretty, but if rory lamont is back 100% fit then the scottish 3/4 line can defend against the pumas - lets face it they are good, but they aint the all blacks. Or alternatively if the argies fancy a battle up front in the forwards then i think we are well positioned to give them that as well.

i will never forget 1991 - after crushing the samoans in the quarters, we were all confident enough that we would beat england at murrayfield that accomodation, travel and tickets for the final had all been secured. That day at murrayfield was a right sickner.

nevermind, we still had a duty to support our antipodean cousins in the final, so we all made the journey south, for a few days on the lash. friday night we ended up in the Hippodrome nightclub (classy at the time) where we realised it was FOUR QUID for a bottle of grolsch lager....

next day, our bankroll severely hammered we sets off for twickers, and first stop at the betting shop - not really having much of an idea about the aussie team at the time, I decided that a tenner on the guy with the same surname as my middle name (Daly) would be a good laugh. The fact that he was a prop forward and 50-1 should have put me off...

In the end we had some great crack with all the english boys in the enclosure and a few bevvys - I almost forgot to stop in at the betting shop to collect my 500 quid !, most of which ended up back in the tills at the hippodrome later that night...

hard to believe that was 16 years ago...I feel old...

nope i am home alone everyone else if off to the gold so i will be curled up on the sofa with a hand on the fridge door
