1644045 Ah theres only real townies or city folk in 3 cities...Dublin of course...limerick and then Cork. Proper city folk in these places have more in common with people in manchester,birmingham and the like..You guys might say hey limerick has only 100,000 people what makes it more city than sa Galway.. Well for me Galway has a town/country mentality while limerick is raw...tenements, back alleys,flats,quick fists...fast wits..."Watch your back kid"...i like that

No you left out Derry City and Belfast City are both larger than Limerick or Galway, and both can definitely go toe to toe with Limerick on having edgy area's and "Watch your back or knee's kid" stakes.

"And less of the spud wise crack lads' Remember When youse walked in Of the the Concrete and picked up your packet of Tayto or got your Fish and chips' Did youse ever spare a thought for us poor Country Folk who broke our backs getting the spudz out of the ground.
Show some respect boys..lol lol"

Jasus, Donegal spuds are good for nothing except Fodder. North County Dublin spuds on the other hand, best of the lot. Wexford ones aren't bad if yer stuck, but they tend to get all mushy in the Coddle.....

Anyone who can go to the shop without needing to use the tractor is a townie

Lads this thread is pure comedy gold, admin, DO NOT shut it down, I'm not in a good place right now and reading through this has put a smile on my face, more of this I say.


Ah Bren, I sincerely hope your sadness is football related only, you've probably seen this by now but if you haven't, it'll make you laugh :D

Ah yes the country boys v the townies back in the day....those townies had it soft. Walking down town after school, hanging around the streets playing pool, chatting to the girls from the convent while us country boys were onda bus home and usually got farm jobs to do once landed home. Mind you we used to beat the town club often at GAA ;)

One only has to peruse the mayogaablog to see who's obsessed!! My post however was referencing the cringe worthy open letter that was doing the rounds last year to the mayo team and the numerous rallying cries of "its our year" on numerous social media fora. No offence intended.

Fair enough J, found that letter to be a bit cringeworthy myself. As did a lot of Mayo posters here. Don't see how you can compare a bit of pep-rally "It's Our Year" stuff to the cliché ridden OP, though.

Which town club was that, Yew Tree? I played for a town club that used to win everything at underage, we rarely lost to the village teams. Mustn't have been a haystack baled during those years ;)

What a load of absolute hogwash! Must be the worst OP I have ever read.Do you write for Ireland's Own Inishowen?
I tell you one thing we won't be bothered about getting our togs dirty on Sunday!
Good luck with the blanket and sure you can amuse your companions on the long fruitless journey home to the hills with tales of how you used to beat us City slickers back in the day.
Yawn.....

Sorry Dubs but KK are the ones 31 other counties want to see lose !
Onto the game itself, DL will negate them but Dubs have the players to win by 1-2pts.

i find it funny how dublin people are always labelled cocky
when the original poster
finished off with nothing but cocky lines saying all that donegal are going to do on sunday
and boasting about winning a few games as a kid haha
its like the newspapers
you have mostly ex county players from around the country that use the same pre match verdict all the time
regarding dublin matches this is going back years and then when we lost they would be the first to put the boot
in while the day before the match they were the ones tipping us to win

i enjoy seeing supporters get hyped up and losing the run of themselves in the fun of it all. I hate seeing them being put down for it. The championship would be very boring if we all had that view. Like the year Donegal won it. They went mental and did loads of cringe worthy things. I doubt they cared though what people thought as they had the best year of their lives.
