    Yeah but there are places in the west of Dublin, that are called Southside, but obviously are not. I'm talking about the non Geographical North and Southside divide.

    Like where? To the west, Castleknock might be a "southside" candidate but I've never heard it referred to as such.

    Tallaght is southside. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly an idiot.

    The divide is geographical, nothing more. When people joke about northside v southside they are generalising rather than categorising.

    I agree, although I've heard it been referred to as "West Dublin". I think that's a bit more accurate. As for Castleknock being on the southside....wtf?

    I know. :rolleyes: When I lived there I'd occasionally get comments like "Ah, yeah, but it's not really on the northside".

    northside= above the liffey= odd numbers d3, d15, etc!
    southside=south of the liffey= even numbers d2, d4, d8, d18, etc!
    only exception is aras an uachtaran, the president gets a southside number lol.
    jk: what seperates man from animal?....the liffey lol
    jk: whats brown, dirty and stuck to the side of a satellite dish?...a council house

    i'm sorry ha too much rock reading has made me like this lol

    These days Dublin should be classified into 3 areas,Northside,Southside and Westside.They are 3 completely different areas IMO.

    I took the bus with a Dutch friend from Mountjoy Square to Finglas and he couldn't believe how modern and nice the place was so far from the city centre. The parks, buildings, etc. all looked great with the sun shining down. I don't think he'd be saying the same if I took him on the Luas to Tallaght. And I'm from the southside.

    So what is West Dublin? Dublin 20 (Chapelizod, Palmerstown), Dublin 22 (Clondalkin, Neilstown), Dublin 24 (Tallaght, Saggart), Dublin 15 (Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Clonsilla, Mulhuddart), Lucan, Rathcoole??

    By far and away the majority of D4's are in South county Dublin along the Dart Line. Are they southsiders?

    I would see anything past the west end of the phoenix park as been in West Dublin,so yes most of the areas you mentioned would be in West Dublin.The west side is huge and far to big to be lumped in with ether the northside or the southside.

    I don't use/like the term D4s but I would consider anything south of the river to be on the south side.

    Then I'd say the difference between the northside and the southide is that area along the dart line. Although, I went to school in Ballsbridge and there was a few nutters going there from Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, Shankhill, etc. The school I went to would have been the upper class public school of D4 and the place was mental at the best of times.

    It's not that obvious. This is the Dublin City forum. Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, etc. are not Dublin City. In fact, you described the southside as the even numbers of the postcodes. Those places don't even have postcodes.

    So, if it doesn't have a DART line, it's not a good area?

    EDIT Ignore that, I don't want an answer. Swore I wouldn't get involved in these stupid threads

    I lived in Castleknock for over 20 years and never once heard it referred to as being a Southside candidate.

    WTF is right. Admittedly many from the area would like to be Southsiders but they eventually get to live the dream when they feck off to Trinners and UCD for college.

    You stereotyping fool. Every area has stuck-up people, every area has it's fair share of football, rugby, cricket, etc... supporters. You're nothing but a WUM.

    WUM = Wind Up Merchant

    No it's actually not a fact, I know plenty of rugby supporters from the Northside, possibly there is more from the Southside but that's because Leinster and Ireland all play in Dublin 4, that being the southside.

    p.s. I don't support Shels, I live my life around them literally.:D

    Definitely more stuck up people in Foxrock:D

    If you use that thinking then I must live in the greatest place on earth. :rolleyes: There are 3 DART stations within 20 minutes walking distance from my house and I don't live in Malahide.
