The Weir is on the North Side so the "Island" belongs to us! (IE De Nort Side)

Bridge on the Northside was built first, you still belong to us...

Lucky for you, we're way better than those South Side Tools! :D:D

Are parts of Chapelizod on an island? I was not aware of this.

I spent 8 years on the Northside before my ambiguous current location, so I don't need convincing

There's a weir all around the apartment blocks on the bridge. Does that count? I'm counting it.

The problem isn't really with northsiders and southsiders. Dublin 1 to 24 is fine by me.

However there's something deeply worrying about people from County Dublin, North and South.

There's no real such thing as a 'Northside' and 'Southside' accent. A chap from Finglas sounds the same as a chap from Drimnagh.

Well whatever about the location its odd/funny that two such different accents exist within many parts of the city

Dublin 1 to 24 is all inner city to us.

I remember being youngin the early 2000's and a group of Northside lads and a group of Southside lads would have battles on one of the bridges at the liffey. Throwing rocks and such, slagging, fighting...purely because they were on opposite sides of the river. But not one of them ever crossed the middle part of the bridge. Some lads got seriously injured and they deserved it. Retards.

Granite walls southside, Block walls Northside!

Started when we the south side got an actual flushing toilet in every house while the north side shared outhouses between 100 plus people ,
The crap has been flowing ever since

Trains pulled the desirable areas to live towards the south-east. Old one family dwelling places on northside became tenements.

North side vs South side of where? Oh yeah I forgot everything is about Dublin and it doesn't even need to be mentioned! Well from my time living in Dublin there are definitely good and bad parts to all areas on either side of the river, sometimes right next to each other. I lived in Kimmage for a while but on the border of Crumlin for example.

You know there is a North side - South side divide in Cork too, not sure how it originated but us southsiders call them norries and rumour has it they put whatever food they have into their sandwiches, chips, whatever is nearby

worded

Protection to a north sider is a bus shelter

How do you know when a north sider girls orgasms? She drops her chips ... probably at that bus stop

During the 80s what did the south sider say to his boss on loosing his job?
Ah dad ... give me back my job

It's always been a confection generally as there are plenty of nice areas on the northside and rough ones on the south.

It probably comes about from the relative neglect of the north city centre vs the south city centre but even that has changed in recent times.

The best one is when you see somebody, usually culchies, referring to somebody having a 'Northside accent'.

I’m a son of the soil, and it’s not that difficult to differentiate between some gouger from Darndale, and some complete head-the-ball from Tallaght.
What they do tend to share is this misguided belief that they are a fountain of this mythical creation known as ‘Dublin wit’.

I was reading about this before and it's pretty fascinating. The northside around Parnell and Mountjoy squares were the fancy spots until Leinster house was built in the early 19th century, then all the rich folk followed over Southside and the Georgian northside buildings were converted to tenements, hence becoming the "rough" side. I may have the finer points of that wrong but that's roughly it.

You're not far off. And Capel Street used to be one of the most sought after addresses in the city. Very wealthy.

Whatever about northsiders or southsiders or whatever-siders-you're-having-yourself, those Dubliners that refer to people outside Dublin as "culchies", come across as totally narrow-minded, ignorant individuals.

It used to be breakdance battles on bits of lino in the 80s. Polyester, headbands and battery cassette players as far as the eye could see.

Culchie is fine. It’s better than toothless hick, mucksavage, bogtrotter, silage arse, or Paddy Hayseed.

Don’t be so thin skinned.
