Ireland's worst county?

siltirocker · 05-08-2009 4:05am

You really have to give it to the counties where the people actually from them have **** all good to say and from what i've picked up Offaly seems to have taken it. People from Leitrim, Roscommon and Kilkenny are proud of where there from regardless of what others think, people from Cork, Galway and Dublin are proud too but on the other scale of opinion(others rave about them). Im not judging but Offaly really is taking a beating!(Probably deserves it though:D!)

Oh and Louthminus Drogheda!

lets play a sub game cause this thread is bullcrap
Put the name of the county tag after each of the counties, i've filled in 3 already

27. Armagh - Orchard county
28. Fermanagh - Erne county
29. Tyrone - Red Hand county

If you consider the Northern counties as part of the Irish counties, then I cannot fathom why you wouldn't have Armagh at the bottom along with Tyrone, since they embody what many Southerners hate about the North (i.e bitterness and sectarianism). Also Fermanagh s***s on Cavan, I don't care what anyone says.

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

Yeah becuase then i'd have no house :rolleyes:.

Such a stupid statement, it would be like me saying would anoyone care if you died tommorow ?. Maybe one or two would. If you're lucky.

I reckon Leitrim isn't much use, never met a person from there, never met a person who met a person from there even..

There are some retards in here.

Proven by this post.

I don't know anyone who knows anyone from Brazil. Does that make it not "much use" ?.

Great logic here.

Xavi6 · 05-08-2009 6:24am

The answer is obviously Cork.

Clearly its cork. I cant find it possible to talk to a "corconian..." for more than 5 minutes without trying to jump off a bridge.

In cork's defence (the city, not the people) they have many bridges so you'll be grand.

Seems Kilkenny beat some counties up too much in hurling.

Ever notice how when Kilkenny people are losing an argument based on reason and logic (such as this thread for example), they always reach up their sleeve and play that well known fifth ace in the deck... the hurling card!!!

Not Cork... (!)

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.

.

Ah, and to think I accused you guys of living in the past... shame on me!

When ANY given Irish county can pull off a Mardi Gras* celebration like the one in Rio, I will promptly move there. And when ANY Irish county can produce football players of the quality of Kaka or Robinho I will proclaim it's value until the cows come home.

*No, St. Patrick's Day with the local primary school wearing tricolour wigs, the local farmer and his new donkey and Joe the Butcher with a bull horn on the roof of his car doesn't count. Not really in the same league.

Long Onion · 05-08-2009 12:06pm

Why don't we pick six counties from those listed and offer them to the Brits in exchange for the ones with the cheap cars and beer?

I'd offer them Monaghan, Tipp, Westmeath, Carlow, Roscommon and Longford.

Then I'd but a Bentley and a slab of Heineken.

I'll give them Armagh, Antrim, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. And as a bonus, I'll throw in Mayo.

Well Offaly, or rather Tullamore, is organising the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann once again this month. And 200,000 - 250,000 people are expected to attend again this year, including 11,000 musicians: http://comhaltas.ie/events/detail/fleadh_cheoil_na_heireann_2009/.

Louis Walsh or MCD have nothing to do with it and it is entirely voluntary so it will all probably just be given a footnote by journalists, who as a rule like that little bit extra from promoters when they cover an event.

Lacks passion, to be honest. This is one of the things I've noticed about Irish cuture: while the quality is usually very high, the performers always look like they'd rather be somewhere else. For example, I went to the website which has a slideshow of some of the performers and not one of them is smiling, or in any way giving you the impression that they enjoy what they're doing.

Now contrast that with the singing, the dancing, the costumes, and the all-out effervesence of Mardi Gras. No contest.

Agree with you 100% about the lack of media attention, though.
