Ireland's worst county?

darkman2

What is the worst county in Ireland?

Is it Co Mayo? - they actually lost a "which county is best?" poll in their own forum against.....Donegal:eek:

Observe http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055579900&page=4

I speculated that this may be due to a lack of broadband in Mayo. But if they themselves think it then it must be true. Nice cliffs though.


Maybe we should leave Dublin out. It clearly is the best county amongst the dross of mediocrity out in country land so it's inclusion would be kind of unfair.:p

Whats surprising against that?!Donegal is unreal!:pac:

I dont like the midlands to much,far to flat!

We'll just go with the place where there's most likely to be less people on boards.

County Longford. It's completely useless.

Laois is hard to love it must be said.

Tipperary is about 30 years behind the rest of the country.

From there, and I must agree. Although Offaly is worse

Fcuk me, this topic is getting old :rolleyes:

I have to say Offaly depresses the sh*t out of me, my mother is from there and while I like seeing my family once in a while, I'm never sorry to see the back of the place. I've tried to change my mind about it but it nearly puts me crying. Flat, featureless, boggy land as far as the eye can see, dodgy accents and absolutely nothing to do. And I'm from Co Roscommon!:o

Those Donegal feckers hijacked the poll... Its a bit like 'A Nation Once Again' by the Wolfe Tones winning that vote for worlds favourite song.

It doesn't matter because the other counties are equally ****e.

Aw

I hope I'm not either of those things. If I am I'm sorry.

I work in Tipp, the countryside of it is actually really lovely, but the towns- Tipp town, Thurles, Roscrea, Carrick on Suir.... so so depressing and stuck in the 80s. I feel kind of sorry for people who live in those towns.

Dublin is great, really enjoy visiting and all that but as for being the best county, I'm not convinced- plenty of positives but too many negatives on the other side...

Problem there is, no one knows anything about either county, so can hardly pick them.

Thank you! People just assume that Roscommon is sh*te because there are no big towns and we're crap at football. I'm not blinded by devotion, but I genuinely have been to worse places on this fair island of ours That said, I wouldn't be legging it to Roscommon for a stag weekend or anything

ChocolateSauce

By what measure? Because although I love my Dublin city, I'll concede the city and county is way down the list on a number of issues. Or are you referring to people who annoy you?

It's obviously the county that last comes to mind, Co. Roscommon. It is the original homeland of the Bogger. All that flat land and bog.

dlofnep

Kilkenny, bunch of spongers. Take our jobs, and then try to create some fecking conspiracy about us taking their land! We don't want your land you fúcking shítehawk, boggers with your big sheep and cows!

Being from Mayo it's Roscommon.

Personally wonder is Carlow actually a county as I have never met anyone from their before.

I'd have to go with Leitrim...like if Leitrim were to just disappear one day, would anyone actually notice or care?

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned

Just thinking the same thing!

I heard tons of Cavan-related jokes today and this thread minded me of it.

Yeah, that was hot. Where did they migrate to is what I want to know.

Mayo minus Ballina is great though in fairness.

Naw... Mayo is an awesome county. Here are some reasons why:

1. Birthplace of the Land League - Captain Boycott incident, Michael Davitt born in Straide, Co Mayo.

2. Year of the French, 1798 - Humbert establishes the Republic of Connaught with Castlebar as the capital.

3. Magnificent scenery The cliffs at Croghaun, Achill are some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe.

3. The Céide Fields are the oldest known field system in the world, over 5500 years old.

4. Gráinne Ní Mháille

5. Ballintubber Abbey, built in 1216, is only church in Ireland still in daily use that was founded by an Irish king.

6. Two great Irish songs: Moonlight in Mayo and The Boys from the County Mayo. Another great song, Kilkelly Ireland, one of the saddest songs ever written, is based on actual letters from a Mayo farmer to his son in the US.

7. Admiral William Brown, founder of the Argentine navy, was from Mayo.

These are just some reasons why Mayo rocks.
