The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Oxford

First topic message reminder :

Hello and 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 Pub has made its way to Oxford and the only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Seve Ballesteros, Andy Fenby, Nick Williams,Tim Visser, Adam Ashley Cooper and Paul Lawrie up on the wall.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Seve is smiling now. For sure.

Well done Europe!

Ye Believed.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Unbelievable!!!!

AND ITS IN!!!!

I thought not, not for a single second.

Feck me.

Bill Clinton, barrack Obama, Michael Jordan, JFK, Mitt Romney your boys took one hell of a beating!!!!!!!!!!!


Get in Martin Kaymer you legend!!!!

Molinari to win it outright, anyone?

BELIEVE.

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh that was sweet. In the US as well. That will hurt bad. Good.

Oh wow. That was actually incredible. That is utterly unbelievable completely and utterly unbelievable. Absolutely awesome.

Let's all hug a German , let's all hug a German

BELIEVE.

Be great to see PJ. No real pressure on him now. Except that pleasure of beating Woods.

GET. IN. THE. HOLE.

Martin Kaymer you legend!!! 10-4 down we were. Have that USA!!!

What an unbelievable sporting year 2012 has been. Fecking amazing!!! I am completely fecked after a mad day at work, but what a way to top it off!!!

Buzzing after that......passion and team spirit........Rory's summed it up. Question is, who's the player of the tournament? Poulter? Rory for playing without a warm up?!
SPOTY is going to be hard this year!! Who'll get team of the year?!

Poulter for me. Didn't he close out with 5 consecutive birdies to get us a point in the fourballs yesterday afternoon when we were seriously struggling? That was a real momentum swing!

Poulter contributed 4 points out of a possible 4. Ryder Cup machine MVP without a doubt.

Woods misses......and fair play did the right thing I think by going for the handshake.

Molinari and Woods halved for Europe to win outright!

That will sit amongst the greatest comebacks ever in any sport. Easily.

AND THE FECKIN WIN TO BOOT!!!!!!!!

OH MY DAYS. OH MY FECKIN DAYS.

We only need one Molinari, we only need one Molinari..."

Poulter is the man. I remember Celtic Mamor 2010 when I was I'm Afghan and I watched Poults guaranteeing he'd deliver his point from his singles match on that last day. That was epic and I've had a man crush since. He's been quality this time round too.

Give Rory his due for his win after that faff though. Great team effort as well. God bless you Seve.

Good man Molinari. 14 and half wins it outright. Yo!

Excellent Captain in Olazábal. Tears coming.

My Ryder Cup MVP is the policeman who got Rory McIlroy to the course on time!

Davis Love is blameless. Did absolutely the right thing front loading his side. Even having stricker and woods at the back to surely guarantee a few points. Nothing doing. The Europeans where utterly superb today.

Good point Notch!!!!

Right regs, been a pleasure.....may need another couple of photos on the wall now of the team, the captain and Seve.

Have a on me fellas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zWrxQXzyGE

+1000 what's the betting he was an Irish cop Notch - in Chicago?

Nailed on.

He's getting sacked in the morrrrrrning.

I'm staying up for the highlights on the Beeb. Don't mind staying up now.

If Europe can manage that win, surely we can agree terms for the HC?

A
MAY
ZING

The Miracle in Medinah. Never seen anything like it in Golf!

For me that is right up there with Headingley 81 for amazing comebacks.

Better than Leinster against Saints, and Liverpool in Istanbul.

And the best bit - silencing the:

U * S * A chant.

Right on Tiger.

THAT. IS. EXTRAORDINARY. !!!!!!!

Got to be pleased by Watson walking like one man instead of ten.

Swing 'em Bubba!

Buenas tardes, amigos! (Back from the hols in Italy, btw.) Woohoo! Great win for Europe, absolutely loving it.

That was Exciting, Emotional and Exhausting. Absolutely brilliant result. Unbelievable!

Night all, Europe is alive and well, in sport if not financially speaking,

Unbelievable and off the scale, Wee-Mac won his point by the finest of all margins, I bet that wont happen again.

This is beyond brilliant

Fantastic isn't it

Nice one Willy, someone will wake up tomorrow feeling a complete arse, actually, make that 14 of them.

Chicago; Europe came, saw and will be transporting the cup back home having won it fair and square, (and Rory had only just got up by-the-way) , see you later...

Heroes of Telemark

Ah-ha, so you haven't let it go!


Justice4Stowers

Let it go? I hadn't picked it up yet. The presumption of competence on the part of the ruling body is unfortunate ASBO, Dreamer and I know the score and don't need a citing commission to tell us what it is.

So

What an evening of golf, fantastic result

Morning all, just putting the and on now, I'll come back and get the ready later

Amazing to think that Poulter was only there by dint of being a captain's pick!

Anyhew, 7 out of the last 9 for Europe, should we ask the Americans if they'd like the Canadians to help them out?

Morning As. please and a couple of those when they are ready.
Davis Love reckoned the Americans didn't get any luck

Bore da pawb / good morning all, welcome to October!

I found out at approximately 5.30 this morning that Europe had done it. I don't have Sky Sports so I hadn't been following it too closely, but my dad and I had agreed that it was never going to happen, the Americans' lead was too great. What were we thinking? Shouldn't we have known that in sport, you can't rule out anything?

Brilliant. Just brilliant stuff. I bet even Dreamer will have a smile when she finds out.

I'll second the requests last night: a picture of Seve has to take pride of place above the bar. What's Oxford in Spanish?

El Oxfordos?

Golf is still up there with tennis and match ploughing on my list of sports-to-cure-insomnia mind you

It depends on the tournament for me, Pete. Generally I'm not that fussed, but I love the Masters and the other majors and I'm borderline angry that the Ryder Cup isn't free to view.

Fair enough.

And it's "Vados del Rio Ox". I think.

Doesn't really roll off the lengua, does it?

Would the burgundy badge brigade have a look at an article in the review section for me. Thanks awfully.

What a weekend of sport!

Just fantastic!
