Most arrogant county in modern Hibernia

NilesCrane

Who are the most arrogant people on the island?

From my experience it would be Meath men, even on GAA forums they have usernames such as Ard Rí and Royal county and what not, they don't seem to know that many High Kings were not Meath men, they came from various places like modern Donegal, Tyrone, Clare and Mayo (i think).

Next would be Donegal, I have never seen county pride like that in my life, it may as well be its own country.

Pride = arrogance?

umop.episdn

Perhaps a county that claims to be the real capital & even went so far as to issue their own passports?

Definitely the Dubs. Every second one thinks they're a fcuking comedian, as well as the most intelligent person alive.

The Grab All Association love this of course, they do nicely out of it.

Jaysus, you could say that about any county in Ireland.

That may well be the case, but it's particularly true about the Dubs, they're just generally quite arrogant and some can be very annoying because of that. Reasons for such arrogance are typically unfounded too.

Funny how these kind of threads are nearly always started by someone with only a few posts to their name.

Didn't know a county could be arrogant...
I'd vote for that county that think it's Down with it.

I'm not being smart, but that's probably because you are from Dublin.

To non-Dubs (or me, at least), Dubs come across as arrogant and quite annoying because of that.

With a city and county population of about 1.5 million , does that mean 750,000 are quite content not thinking they are comedians ? Or are they comedians ?

You seem opinionated , can you help us ?

Dubs think they're living in some major world city when you could fit the city centre into Paris or London about six times over, Dublin thinks it's also cool and cosmopolitan when in reality it's obsessed with ''knacker'' and ''quare'' spotting like the rest of the village idiot island.

Loads of Corkonians have the weird notion that everyone else has missed out by not being born one of them even though the reality is the opposite.

Plus Ulster Prod's think they're some sort of Aryan, Calvinist, Nordic master race when in reality most of them are like a cross between Rab C Nesbitt and a Jeremy Kyle show guest.

Kildare or Cavan Kilkenny comes a close second

I'm not too fond of Dublin, it goes from one extreme to the next, tracksuit wearing hoolies to pretentious little twerps, there is no middle ground.

So Kilkenny come 3rd then?

It's just the posturing that comes from rivalry in GAA. It's pretty harmless.

Thought this line was funny though:

"For somebody from Carlow to be lecturing Cork on hurling is akin to Jedward telling Pavarotti how to sing."

Kilkenny people are far from arrogant.

Cork....and most Ulster counties.

Dublin - but only parts of it - namely large chunks south of the city centre out as far as Wicklow.

Not sure about that......:)

I was arranging a training visit to a company in Kilkenny once and they asked if they could change the date I'd allocated because it was the Tuesday after the All-Ireland Hurling Final Weekend......this was in April

Even though they did go on to win it that year, it was still pretty arrogant to be arranging the celebrations before a sliotar had been hit in anger.......

You can just say Ireland. It's the name of the island. Also, crap OP. Thought Fraser would have instilled more class in you to be honest.

in fairness though, it might be considered by some to be arrogant, but at the same time, they can back it up.

i.e. don't ever plan too much with Kilkenny folk for early September..

Answering the question: It's definitely us down in Cork, or those Kilkenny hurling c*nts. Thinking about it now it's probably those Kilkenny hurling c*nts, at least we've more than our hurling to be proud of :cool:

Did you hear about the Cork man with severe inferiority complex?
He thought everyone else was as good as him.

Cork, all day every day. Nobody comes close.
