    I noticed recently playing football that opposition players have a habit of calling us "hicks" and "culchies" etc...

    Now, granted we are a small rural club in east Cavan - just over an hour to Dublin city centre in light traffic (after training for example), with alot of our players living and working in the capital. The worst culprits of this are the West Cavan clubs, that are in the middle of nowhere to be honest, in bogs or up mountains. Do they really think they are all that cosmopolitan and sophisticated... Cop on lads

    As a West cavan Club Player i have never done this or even heard it. But as its more a GAA question maybe you should use the Cavan Forum In hoganstand for more feedback.

    Think thats pretty normal in most counties. I live in Rural Dublin yet when we play some teams we call them bogtrotters or rednecks to name but a few. Its more to annoy them than anything else. Funny thing is when we play a city club we get called rednecks and Hillybillies among other things to which the reply is "are you out on bail for tonights match". It is always taken as a bit of a joke here and is not as bad as it was 15 20 years ago.

    They might need a little reminder of their abode, but in good spirits of course;)

    True enough, I was just thinking about the clubs that we would normally wind up about being very rural. ;)
