This ones really for Ian. I'm heading to see your team hopefully slaughter Italy today in the 6 nations rugby match in Rome's Olympic Stadium. Even got to say hello to the team in the airport on Thursday evening as they were on the same flight as folk we met on the way to a conference. I'll be cheering double for England for us both mate, and I'll take a few photos and post them later.
We plan to go to an Irish bar we found in Rome centre afterwards. So we can cheer Ireland on to victory later too. :yahoo: :yahoo:
-
I'm well jealous Dave, have a great time, and I'll be cheering on the Paddies later.
-
Hope it's warmer in Rome than here Dave. :good:
-
Here it's not looking good Ian. It has been snowing heavily for the last 3 hours and our hosts don't reckon the coach will be able to get up the hill to hotel!!
I come to Rome and they get snow, and heavy snow at that for the first time in 25 years. :(
-
That is certainly NOT what I call the luck of the Irish Dave.
-
Better go straight to that Irish Pub. A few hours there and you won't even realize it's snowing.
Are you there with the family David? Rome's pretty nice, but covered in white makes the touristy bits a bit rough. I saw a picture on the internet of a snowboarder going down right beside the colosseum.

Unbelievable, we go from 0-6 up to 12-6 down in a few minutes. I bet the Scots are laughing their heads off.
-
Woohoo, even better, we go from 12-6 down to win 15-19, come on England,2 from 2

Ah see Dare, thats where you don't understand us, although David's Irish, he'll cheer on the England team and I'd cheer on the Irish team, but, the Scot's would cheer on the opposition that England play(no slur intended on stealth).We're a funny lot us Brit's.

Don't talk about me, I don't even LIKE soccer. And just what the heck do you have against Scott's anyhow, Ian? Boy, talk about stereotyping. Spelling of your name means people are always pigeon-holing you. Jeeeez!! >:( ;)
-
SOCCER, SOCCER ! Perlease Scott, we are talking about rugby union, not flaming football, as for the spelling of my name, the Scottish spelling of my name is IAIN, jeez yourself. :P
-
Rugby? Isn't that the prehistoric version of Amercian football? :P :P
-
:DD :DD :DD You philistine Scott(with respect).

REAL men play Lacrosse. The ball is small and hard, and you get a stick that you can beat on the other guys with. :D

On a point of order Assosiation Football (Soccer or Footy) codes came first. Rugby codes sprung from disaffected Clubs and schools, who wanted handling of the ball in the rules, getting together after Soccer was formalised, American Football came after both. So in truth Soccer is the prehistoric version of all football. :D

Great game Ian, the Italians gave England a good game. You can't believe how cold it was in that stadium, but the Peroni kept us warm. Bit gutted the Ireland game was cancelled but we still made it to the Fiddlers Elbow Irish pub in Rome centre were way to many pints of beer were consumed. To be honest I wasn't feeling to smart at 7-30am this morning when I had to get up and get packed for the transfer back to the airport. But a few Italian coffee's later I was back to at least 20% anyway. ;)
Here's a couple of pictures from pitch side as promised.

No unfortunately not, I was there for a conference on Friday for work, but we stayed on until Sunday to catch the game and to soak up some Italian culture (roughly translated:- beer). I was down by the Colosseum last night, didn't see any snow boarders but there were plenty of snow balls flying about. Rome is an awesome city but I hope the next time I'm there it's warm and dry. It's a truly international city, is amazing the people you meet, I even had a few beers with a guy form Dares country Kentucky. Asked him if he knew you but he didn't. ;)
-
Good ones Dave. Hehe, when they went into the scrums the steam rising up was like rutting stags.
-
Cracking pictures David :good:
You had a great view from there

Wow - great seats! Almost on the field (or is it called a pitch or something silly like that? A pitch is a baseball term!). :tease: :tease:
Glad you had a great time David. We hope to go to Rome this spring for a weekend. :good: :good:
