My girlfriend has just moved to East Dulwich and i'm heading down there this weekend. I'm looking to watch the rugby somewhere, its British Lions and its on Sky sports (2pm). Does anyone know somewhere that will show the rugby? Apparently there is a an england football game on at the same time which i guess a lot of pubs will shown so hoping to get around this.



Cheers

Ok so they beat the team from Jo?burg. Whoop-dee-do. That?s only because Jo?burg is a crap city full of 2 types of people, rich English arseholes and the criminals who steal their BMWs.










(Come on, isn?t anybody going to get into a pseudo nationalistic mudslinging match with me over this rugby business?)

Official name used to be British Isles, but then media nicknamed them the British Lions, so now for political reasons since 2001 they have been officially rebranded the British & Irish Lions. That is fair enough to recognise Ireland's contribution but Lions is so synonymous with English sport it still doesn't sound right. I'd settle for Colonial Dragons ;-)

Ireland is in the West of England. Did you come here for an education 'cause it didn't work? Frankly I think the Lions should be called The Celtic & English Lions.

What do you mean EVEN the Irishmen? What are we some sub species? I'm well pissed off with that. Well done!

Poor Lions performance today against the Cheetahs. Shane Williams looks a spent force. Got off to a great start but in the end 3 missed penalties and a missed drop goal spared the Lions blushes. Cheetahs came bottom of the Super 14 but everytime they turned on the gas and exploded through the middle the Lions had problems.

I think they were as bad as each other. Too much brawn and not enough class.


Didn't watch the first game but from the next 2 I have seen these are the only players I've been impressed with so far from the Lions: O'Driscall, Tommy Bowe, Jamie Roberts, Gethin Jenkins, Mike Phillips & Wyn-Jones.

I not convinced by Ugo but that could be just from what I've read. Croft was impressive and must be in with a shout. Agree with Byrne and Mears, though shame about Flannery. Most interesting will be the fly half's spot as Hook has done nothing wrong. Given his adaptability it's possible Jones or O'Gara might not make it into the 22.

PS Mick, another thread has started with the correct title

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
