Your LEAST favourite Irish county???

Offaly or Leitrim

the delusional views of cork people on the whole peoples republic and real capital thing cracks me up, but not as much as the response of dubs to it.

You know you secretely hate some county, do tell.

Offaly has to be the worst. I have this irrational hatred for it.

Most of my relatives are from there. I get a terrible feeling off the place. And Clara!?!? Kip of a town. Everyone wants to get out of it.

Other than the Irish Parachute Club, there is nothing good in Offaly. Nothing. NOTHING!!

I HATE IT

<end rant>

Weeshie

I also hate Offaly - hate it, hate it, hate it. Has anyone done a poll to see which county comes out as "most hated" - Cork is a close second for me. Another dive - and they're so far up their own @rses.....just like the Offaly crowd.

Whats the problem with Offaly? Its no worse than the rest of the country and everybody sound enough

dr.bollocko

Its gotta be cork. Just cos they are so proud of themselves.
WHY???? What the hell do u have to be proud of?
I mean there are worse places to go, but congratulations to the ppl of Cork for consistently attempting to break the worlds biggest wanker record. Such commitment from such a broad spectrum of the population would be applauded if we didnt hate all of you and wish you would shut up about your biggest county, stick your peoples republic t-shirts up yer hole and do the decent thing and just **** off.

hopefully this map wil explain why many dubs are perplexed by this thread

Faerie

hey, Cork is a lovely place! Except for the accents....

I hate Dublin though, it's such a dirty, rough city and the county itself has nothing to recommend it! I don't like Limerick either for much the same reasons.

Whats wrong with being proud of your county..? are you not proud of being from..yours?

dr.bollocko

Sorry did I say proud?
I meant prvasive arrogance that hangs in the city air like the stale smell of the river.
Cork isnt a county, its a giant nose looking down on the rest of the country.
THe county is nice. Shame about who we let in there.

So Im allowed to say which county i hate, unless my answer is cork. If I say cork, and I say why, god help me.

At that point I have to be proved wrong by Cork ppl who think Im mad?

Because cork is the greatest place on the planet right?

THATS why I hate cork buddy.

It doesn't piss people off, it just shows how stupid Cork people are.

Claiming to be a People's Republic and the Real Capital at the same time. Serious chip on shoulder with corkies.

Roll on Friday.

i don't like Cork because Cork people seem to think i'm from Dub-a-lin because i have an extremely mild Dublin twnag in my accent and they give me grief over it. also, the guy at the end of my road is a Cork man and has the loudest voice ever. i'm constantly woken by him having a conversation outside his house. i can hear his voice through double glazed windows.
on the other hand, i do know a Cork family and they throw great parties with free beer and BBQ and stuff and they're having one on saturday and have invited me. so they're not all bad.

as for offaly, ia friend of mine lived in edenderry for a while. i went down and did some work in his house. i couldn't get out of the place fast enough. it was so ****ing depressing.

cork and most of the 6 nothern counties

As a former resident of Offaly I must agree.. but you will find that Offaly people on tour are great. Every match that Offaly are involved in the fans are great.. much like the Irish footy fans on tour!

IMO Roscommon.. its such a non entity. When would you ever need to go to Roscommon?*

Louth, for the accent and the hatred of anything/anyone who is not from the same street as you

There're a lot of counties I don't like. In fact, I don't really like any county outside the pale. I'm from Limerick, and Limerick city is good but I don't like Limerick county, Clare or Tipperary because they won't let us expand our city limits. I additionally don't like Tipperary because I got lost there once too and it was horrible. I don't like Offaly and the reasons for this are obvious if you travel from Kildare over the border. Kildare is a very nice county, but then you cross into Offaly and it's like, yuck. Co. Cork isn't great either and the city smells. Kerry is a nice county I suppose.

Julep sjones or Ruu, do Pighead a favour and ban this phillistine. Just to see if your banning buttons are working. Louth does not belong on this list in any way shape or form. Collie D, you're full of poo.

Very true. Roscommon really is a nothing place. Miles and miles of bloody nothing.

In the absence of a poll, I did a count up as far as post no 205. (I’m very busy today)

Just counting first preferences, and ignoring references to places that are not counties, the running order is:

Cork 35

Dublin 26

Offaly 9

Limerick, Meath, Kilkenny, Laois, Galway and Roscommon all get 4.

Westmeath, Carlow and Tipperary each get 3.

Wexford, Louth, Mayo and Cavan have 2 votes.

Clare, Donegal, Kildare, Monaghan, Kerry, Waterford, Wicklow, Down and Longford each get 1 vote.

Strike one more up for Cork - ignorant with a whiney accent... but I basing my biased opinion on just one guy I work with how never shuts up about how great Cork is :cool:

netwhizkid

1. Cork, what arrogant dopes, they now think they will win the double in GAA.

2. Offaly, what a flat barren hole oh and that Seamus Darby wa*ker.

3. Clare, The county time forgot, Last time I was there the trouble I had in even getting a newspaper, West Clare and the burren are handsome and will rephrase it as East Clare I dislike.

That reminds of one of the funniest things I ever heard. I was in work seven years ago and the radio was on with some mullah from Cork after ringing in to tell everyone how great Cork was, blah, blah, blah.

Anyway he said to the presenter "We're gonna win the quadruple". There was silence for about five seconds as the presenter hadn't a clue what he was going on about (I think Cork had won the hurling and were in the bogball final a week later). When the presenter asked him what he was spouting about the Corkies responded with "Well we're gonna win the football next week and we've already won the hurling and tidy towns and [WAIT FOR IT!!!!].........the champions league"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the bloke was serious.

I mean wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to agree with this. I hate the way they speak up there.

I hate the way, particularly in Louth, a term of abuse is a term of endearment. E.g. "How's it goin' Dad, ya c**t ye"

I hate the way they end every sentence with the word "hey" - e.g. "How's it goin' ya c**t ye, hey"

I also hate the way they don't pluralise their words properly - e.g. (in the chip shop) "Hows it goin, hey. I'll have two cod and chip, ya lanky c**t ye"

Don't get me started on Monaghan..

So that leaves Tyrone, Derry, Armagh, Antrim, and Sligo without votes, if I'm not mistaken. Interesting. Who am i missing?

Edit: Fermanagh and Letrim makes 32
