I expect this thread has probably been done to death in the past, so please bear with me.


Since Hoopers closed I can't seem to find a decent put in the area for The Rugby.


The EDT used to be good when they had the biog screen, but straining your eyes and neck to see the telly on the top corner now is awful. Are there any others? Does the Victoria show the 6 Nations?

Hoopers was the best place to watch sport and I'm still pissed off that its gone. Never overcrowded unlike the EDT and the dreadful Actress. The Castle would be my choice as it has a big screen and a few TVs. The Plough has now started to show sport too with a TV either side of the bar.

The Herne Tavern is reserving the section in front of the TV for the rugby.


Southwark Tigers and Southwark Lancers have asked this to happen so we can watch the game together and with other local rugby fans. Come join your local rugby club coaches and players.

Just because you don't like rugby doesn't mean you need to put it down. Much friendlier atmosphere than you'll get at a footie match. Usually get some good banter between opposition fans rather than agro. And loads of folk hate it when the footie World Cup is on. Take your medicine peacefully.


Now for tomorrow's big match, will the French House or any other partisan venue be showing Scotland take on our Gallic friends?

Is that right...



Wales rugby fans leave a trail of drunken carnage on streets of Cardiff after Six Nations triumph.


The city was awash with red as an army of fans cheered on their team to Six Nations victory.


But the hours of celebrations turned into many drunken scenes as the day's excitement turned to tears for some.

The article tries to play the incidents down.. but rugby fans are no different to football fans.

That's just a normal Friday on the streets of Cardiff - Rugby should be Saturday Afternoon - although lots of Welsh journalists annoyed by last nights behavior.


Last time, I saw a girl down a pint and collapse - her friends carried her into the next bar.


Anyway - In Cardiff it's the City Arms or maybe Owain Glyndwr :)

Never overcrowded. That was the problem and why it closed.

Oh good to know re Flying Pig. Big screen? Good crowd?

It was a bad night - but I'd say devastation in Cardiff not violence

Here's the WOS report - notice Isaac Hunt makes a comment :)

It's hard to understand how devastating yesterday was if you aren't Welsh.


On Screens in ED - I'd say Flying Pig, Rye and Actress have the biggest - and you need big IMHO

Take care as well with what they are showing...could be one of these * which when you read the small print means, we show the England games. Football may take precedence. Bishop was ok for Scotland game, asked for sound, not subtitles and as always they obliged. Flying pig looked to have it on as I walked past.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
