Most Hated County in Ireland

JCB

This thread is inspired by me being sick on a Friday night and this thread about leitrim which is a good laugh.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055031951

So what is your most hated/least favourite county (in a non violent houseburning fashion of course!)

I have listed the usual suspects! Let the flames begin!!!!;)

Look how this thread turned out, careful now. It has been done since also I think. *douses petrol over thread and lights up*

[token response]
Dublin person: Cork
Cork person: Dublin, Cork is the real capital
*fight and slagging ensue*

Binomate

Cork or Dublin I'd say.

D-Generate

Cork always wins these things. Just like we win everything else.

Cork of course

joebhoy1916

Put Roscommon on It..

dvega

And dublin is a runaway.....

Mike...

Yeah Roscommon.....without a doubt......very sly

InFront

Laois.
I have nothing against the people there, but almost every time we go down the country my parents insist we stop into Portlaoise and call into my Dad's ex partner who lives in the town. He has no sons so when this happens, I am forced to wander aimlessly around the town while the adults talk.

Portlaoise has nothing of interest, in case you were wondering. It has a mental asylum and a prison, but I'm never tempted to visit either.

Can anybody explain why, for such a modern state, the counties are so jagged? Why are they not straight lines?

In fairness to my thread tar, rb ie and stepbar were all being knobs.Leitrim does have traffic lights and I was pretty annoyed what was said about Leitrim.

Rb

We were just having a laugh in that thread Dazzler, don't take it too seriously.

I don't dislike any county in particular, Limerick is a bit of a kip but I don't hate the place. If anything I probably dislike Dublin the most just because I've been here almost 21 years and am getting sick of the place and anywhere is a nice break from it. Cork is my favourite place to go outside Dublin.

Oh my most hated county is Roscommon but only when it comes to Gaelic football.

I call some people who live in dublin muckers I wouldn't exactly consider it an offensive term and wouldn't care less if someone called me one since I spend a lot of time in kerry


Edit: I live in Dublin(and always have) otherwise that first sentence would seem pointless

have to hate that cork accent, it just about gets in ahead of dublin heads who think they are the b-all and end all.

Don't worry about it, its just because you have funny accents, play and follow bogball, have some connection to a farm, dress like the Dubs did 5 years ago and refer to Dublin as the "big shmoke".

it worries me that the fact none of yee realise Carlow is a figment of Irish peoples imagination

Real Cork accents are things of great variety, subtlety and beauty unlike that fake one you hear on Dublin-centric TV. Propaganda, I tells ya!

Guess what I voted? Dare you violate the sanctity of the ballot box? Zomgerz!

I'd be more inclined to think:

Dublin person: Doesn't care
Cork person with a chip on their shoulder: Dublin

"Cark is de real capital of Ireland, bay!"
"Roish, well eh loike, the last time I looked at a focking atlas, Doblin was the capital."

How about "the whole of northern ireland" as an option?

Just don't specify whether you're protestant or catholic. That way, neither can come after you incase they're going after one of their own

I'd vote for Dublin for the way they say "I'll have another Heino, bleedin' bleedin' bleedin', when's the next DORT? I'll stab ya, ya durty ratten Polski""

Dublin. never liked the place

My most hated county is Tipperary South Riding.
I'm from Tipperary North Riding

It's the whole northside/southside debate for people from outside the Pale

We had more than one county council long before Dublin did:p

cooker3

Well I don't hate it but I have always wondered why Longford exists. Seriousley what has it ever achieved. If it got nuked tomorrow, would anyone notice?

Also, if I spoke with a Cork accent, I would be embarrassed to speak tbh

That won't stop them. Did you learn nothing from Captain Planet?

rediguana

Longford (shudder). Oh wait, that's the most DEPRESSING county.

Hated? Dublin isn't as bad as it used to be, now that the foreigners have diluted the heady mix of brashness and superiority.

Tipperary gets my vote. Its people could do with more subtlety and finesse.

Hrmm, you do have a point. If Captain Planet taught us anything, its that barring the intervention of a superhero, the Catholics and Protestants of Northern Ireland will nuke the place regardless.

Supercell

Most of Dublin, just because of the bloody traffic nightmare and the insane price of housing..
Mind you when I buy that house in Shrewsbury I'll have a Helipad - only way to move about Dublin these days:)

Other than that, I'd vote for Youghal in Cork, seriously, does anyone from outside the place understand a word these people are saying without a translater?

It ought to be a county or even a country in its own right and Youghal speak into a language of its own right imho.

I thought it went the way of Pluto and now is known as a proto-county?

and yes im from Cork boi;)

Cork hands down. On account of the chip on the shoulder that every cork person carries that would make Atlas himself shudder.

And that irritating "The real capital" mantra that goes through my nerves and removes me from the space-time continnum to a happy place where I am inflicting brutal and horrendously violent vengeance that is physically not possible on the pituitary f*cktard that said it.

Yeah I'd agree with that (except about Cork being the worst/most hated county). This "Real Capital" stuff is the biggest crock of shíte I've ever came across and its time Corkonians just faced the f*cking truth of the matter that Cork never was, and never will be the capital of this country. Maybe they could combine their efforts and saw the county off our Island and float it out to sea, then they could have their own government and all.

Pigman II

Figured Dublin would be in 1st purely down to the fact that it is the REAL capital, is the biggest city, is the place people around the world might have actually heard of.

However, glad to see Cork in 2nd. Almost everyone I meet from that place has some sort of chip on their shoulder coupled with unwarrented superiority complex in order to compensate for the former. Oh yeah, and the stupid accent too.

As for Culchies accusing Dubs of incorrectly presuming they are the be-all and end-all of the country I do find it ironic how many times I get this accusation levelled at me by culchies who actually LIVE AND WORK IN DUBLIN. If it isn't the be-all end-all then go get a job somewhere else.

nesf

The chips on my shoulders balance each other out. So there!

Rb

Oh, I'd also question how many of the people who voted Dublin actually have been through or spent some decent amount of time here, and not just came up to Croke park for the day to watch the bogball, got píssed off with the traffic jams on the Northside of the Liffey (which they themselves create), then get píssed off with standing at a bar around croke park for an hour waiting for service because the place is packed with their neighbours/relatives/a good chunk of their county and the fact that we have Gardaí doing random stop points so they can't have a few pints and drive home drunk like back in the arse of nowhere where they insisted on coming from in the first place and consequently deciding Dublin was the worst place in Ireland.
