Your LEAST favourite Irish county???

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

Clare. And I'm from Clare. More specifically, the people of West Clare, Kilmaley, Inch, etc. You will never see more in-bred, tight-arse miserable ba***ds in your life. And Ennis has it's fair share of tight arses as well. I'm in college in Galway, and everybody who's not from Clare notices it. It's shocking.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your county but we aren't actually jealous of Cork people which I think was the guy's point. Did Derval O'Rourke represent Cork or Ireland?:rolleyes:

QFT. Where did you hear someone talking like this, cornbb? Go on, name the town.

could all the Cork and Dublin people stop whining like bitches, please?
it's really pathetic.

People from dublin are the most annoying people in Ireland. They are close-minded and their accent is awful.

People from Galway I've found to be the most layed back and chilled. Probably the nicest bunch of people you can meet.

Exactly. If my county won a camoige title (and God knows it doesn't win much) I would feel no pride in it. It might sound ignorant, but who can be proud of winning something if nobody cares. I heard a Cork guy on Des Cahill talking about this a few months back. He listed 27 national titles won by Cork teams. He said it wasn't good enough that nobody had mentioned it. Des asked him did he want a special medel struck for the occasion. Fair play to any girls who win a camoige All Ireland, but honestly who cares. I can't think of another succesful county outside if Cork, who feel the need to list it's achievements so often.And before anyone says it's because you win so much, it's not. It's just annoying. And no. I'm not jealous.

Tommy Tiernan kinda sums it up for me about Cork

"I'm de president of Ireland like, but more importantly I'm from Cork"

Fair enough, people can be proud of where they come from but thinking that other people "wish" to be from Cork is quite sad :rolleyes:

wow i was expecting this to be everyone hating limerick
glad you goes have more sense though im from limerick county myself and its preety boring i love the city though

but i suppose because of rivilaries ill go with tipperary

i live on the border with tipperary and loads of tipp ppl go to our school and they never shut up about GAA and horse racing gets on yer nerves. being from limerick we cant talk about GAA because we have nothing to show for it so its all rugby and soccer here

Zapho

Clare. There's feck all to do!

Sorry 1hugh1. I didn't realise Limerick had anything to show for soccer either Rugby on the other hand, well, hats off to Limerick:cool:

Kilkenny...the only county thats pointless.

Cork, they act as if being Cork is actually something to be proud of

No, nothing at all :rolleyes:

Anyway, that aside, I must say I cannot stand Dublin (theres a surprise), but I have a different reasoning. I like real Dubs, Dubs who have been born and raised by Dubs, who have been born and raised etc ect etc

I hate the blow ins from the rest of the country who have poisoned what could be a decent City. People say that Cork people are arrogant and so on, but the most arrogant is the noveau Dub who feels liberated that he/she has finally made it to Dublin. They speak with an afflicted Dublin accent within minutes of moving to there, trying to lose their Kerry/Cork/Mayo/whatever accent, and are the very people who call people from outside Dub - Culchies, in the wannabe thickest, most drawn out Dublin accent you have ever heard. They only want to drive a D reg car in order to show those at home that they have 'made it' by living/working in Dublin.

These are the people who give Dubs a bad name.

Not much time for Kerry people either. Always have a chip on their shoulders.

shinners007

oh i hate the dubs the loud mouthed not it all types with the scumy accents!!!!!!

love the clare and kerry ppl as yyou can insult em and take the piss out of em without them even realising it!!!!

but really dont like tipp people as there limericks rivals!!!

After last Sunday...Laois! I sat in Croke Park surrounded by hundreds of Laois fans and cheered them on during the Mayo match and then during the Kilkenny match they roared for Clare. Me and my flag were lost

It would have to be Kildare. Too close to Dublin and yet not Dublin. No mountains or anything interesting. I doubt if anyone would miss it if aliens beamed it away. Some might even pay for it to be done.

LEITRIM LEITRIM LEITRIM please god wipe it off the map, shower of frog catchers

So did I, when I first saw this thread I was getting ready to come on and defend it big time.

In all fairness people from Limerick city, Cork city and all other Irish cities (though maybe not Kilkenny, cause it's tiny) call all non city dwellers culchies. And lots of people do actually have a fairly neutral Irish accent, not everyone from Dublin sounds the same, nor does evryone from Cork or Limerick or anywhere else in the country.

I don't think I have a least favourite county, but I'll go for Offaly because it gave us, Brian Cowen and Albert Reynoldsand it is where Boris-on-Ossory is and I always hated having to stop there for 20 minutes whenever I got the Limerick-Dublin bus. The bloody buses have toilets now, we don't need to stop anymore.

Gotta be Cork. Not only that thick ridiculous accent, but their utter contempt for the Dubs, all because Dublin is the Capital. Jealous shower of muppets!!!
