    I blame the GAA, only for them and half the thicko's in this country wouldn't know what county they were from.

    An Post have a lot to answer for too, making all the thicko's put their county on their address so the thick postman will know where the letters are to go.

    A letter addressed to "Bollix Kerry" reached pat spillane it's intended recipient.

    The county is so important because you don't encounter too many outsiders

    I'm not defined by my county. I seldom leave it.

    I'm defined by my club and parish. So I am.

    Ironically, that's the kind of thicko generalisation those alleged thickos would make.

    I couldn't care less about any of this "county" nonsense, but then I'm from Kildare, and we know we're great.

    Nope, and I never judge anyone based on what county they're from, except obviously people from Tipperary who I've found to be universally the most ignorant bunch of ****tards imaginable.

    The Premier county has given so much! You two are forgiven, we all feel envious at times :)

    I think we're all just mad at the injustice of having Tipp South and Tipp North number plate division. The day that ends, and both sides unite, will be our 'Berlin Wall coming down' moment

    I'm from Roscommon, but I live in Kerry. Kerry people love their county, because it has two things going for it. Beautiful scenery and good footballers. Neither of which they perceive Roscommon to have (they'd have a point).

    I've often been told "oh, I don't think I've ever been to Roscommon", as if to confirm that it is a county of no consequence. Yeah, well I was never in feckin' Kerry either before I had too be here for work. Recently, a colleague of mine spent a weekend up there and she seemed genuinely surprised that it wasn't a complete kip devoid of development and overcome with a slurry-esque aroma.

    I suppose the funny part of all of this is that the border with Co Galway is all of 5 miles away but if I said I was from Galway, people would be more inclined to say "aw yeah, Galway is lovely!" despite East Galway being a ****hole of its own. People have preconceived notions about each county.

    It's all the GAAs fault :) Or it's all thanks to the GAA - whichever way you want to put it. Apparently Irish people didn't have the same county identity and loyalty until the GAA organised itself on a County basis, back in the day. A college historian told me that and well it makes sense to me.

    Sure if you didn't have counties you wouldn't have county finals or county jerseys - county colours night in coppers would cease to exist ;)
