Sorry man I agree. Just that's my experience. My sister moved to Meath and is an active member of her club down there and although she considers herself a Dub, she loves Meath too. Where you kibw

Very true Username, I believe there are GAA clubs in Sweden and Finland, not too sure about Norway and Denmark. We'd have to look at the logistics though, surely Stockholm GAA should be split into at least two, due to their population?!

No doubt the Irish blood line is quite a diverse one.. a lot of outside influences have shaped our current form That will soon again change with the influx of African and Eastern European people making a good life for themselves here. Some pretty interesting surnames on the way for future commentators jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 24/07/2017 18:52:10 2022767 Link 0 |

Ah yes there is no doubt you're 100% hillbilly :D, look when you come from the pale, you're either gonna be of culchie roots, or British, nice choice. There are no Dubs that can trace themselves back like that, because its a city, and people arrive, build and then flock to said metropolis. As a result, its much harder for us to feel that prehistoric belonging so its a credit to our lads that they play with such a passion for their county, much easier for the culchies in that regard. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 24/07/2017 23:38:11 2022904 Link 1 |
Ah sure the counties only came I with the normans as far as I know, before that we were all just southwest Munster I'd say .

Actually I have an interesting fact for you realdub, did you know that the hillbillies were descended from Ulster Scots that moved to the deepe south in the US . I read that in a book :-/ And ya it must be hard for ye dubs to have the pride of place that us country folk enjoy but ye have many other great things like money and home advantage for big games :-) KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 25/07/2017 02:02:36 2022934 Link 0 |
