Bets/Worst eL Club Nicknames

[superfrank]

Will the Sun start calling us the Bras now?

[Réiteoir]

To be fair - if Sligo are looking for a new nickname they could take a leaf out of Kildare County's book.

"The Inbreds" has a ring of truth to it imo

[gilberto_eire]

Bit rich a Galway fan talking about been bitter !

Sort it out you GAA Obssessed shanks ;)

good investigating RF, a blank WIKI page and a piece of the hurlers win over waterford. i think he's onto something!:rolleyes:

you've completly done a U-Turn on what you were saying we were called

[holidaysong]

Are Dundalk not the Lilywhites? Is Duns not just a Sun abbreviation?

We're also the Railwaymen - not used as much these days though. Duns is a Sun abbreviation but I've heard at least 2 Dundalk supporters use it.. :o

Oh I wouldn't say it's a pointless thread. Surely the point of this thread is another Galway slagging Sligo (or vice-versa) dig.
How could you foretell this on post #3 of this thread? Have you got tomorrows Euromillions numbers? I'm going to leave this thread alone before it descends into an even bigger farce than it is now;) Bye RF:p

And surely they received a prompt slap across the chops?
Superfrank, you tempt me to much with your suggestion, bras and all that. No laughing matter though, they just might! Would be great fun in October, I canm picture the heading now
'Gals travel east for meeting with bras' lol

[sligoman]

Oh I wouldn't say it's a pointless thread. Surely the point of this thread is another Galway slagging Sligo (or vice-versa) dig.Well done noby, it was obvious from the first post that was going to happen.

Yawn.

[Réiteoir]

Keep that for your own town Worcester :D are you lot still swimmimng around in your slums.

You're getting Worcester confused with Hull, Sheffield, Gloucester or the County Town of Doigiveafeck.

No slums round our place - they were all torn down in the regeneration of the City in 1959.

Only places flooded to any extent in Worcester were the Racecourse, a couple of Riverside pubs, the Cricket Ground and some new high cost appartment blocks.

I'd stick to doing what you do best RF - posting links to non-existent Wikipedia pages... :D

[Réiteoir]

Yes that is why you replied, i think i am getting to you as well :D:D

Not really - 'tis a slow day at work - so got this in the background while waiting for some files to copy across from one server to the other.

Time for a cuppa methinks :D

[Réiteoir]

My posts are the equivalent of somebody scraping their nails down a backboards behind you i think :D.

Anyway your town sounds great

Actually I am so jealous as it sounds great http://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/content/articles/2006/06/11/stig_dump_2406_event_feature.shtml

The ****e linking curse strikes again! :D

That is being done in Herefordshire - which is a totally different county to the one Worcester is in (co-incidentally called Worcestershire)

We're more well known for stuff like what this bloke produced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgar

The counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire split into their proper entities some 35 years ago.

:D

[Red Army]

I like our nickname it's original. I thought Dundalk's was the "Lilywhites" which one is their official nickname Railwaymen or Lilywhites? Galway Utds is just a cheap rip off from the gah trying to jump on the bandwagon and don't get me started with the Gaillimh in their crest :rolleyes:

[Lim till i die]

Who was the bloody fool who said this thread would turn into a pathetic Galway v Sligo whingefest?? :rolleyes:



I think Lim til I die suggested that his club should be called "the Blades" which I thought was funny but most of his Limerickers (sic) didn't

Indeed I did and I stand by it :)

More like a Galway v Sligo (including some mentally deficient who isn't Rouge Trader :eek: having a pop at a city in England) whingefest.

It's rather entertaining nonetheless

[GuisaSaigon]

And your point is ? Have we tried to nick their identity ? Galway the Tribesmen Up ya Boyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
My point, RF is that your pathetic attempts to brown nose your local GAA ended with them farting in your face.:o Shouldn't you be doing something better with your time like getting Noel Mooney down to do your CPOs job :o We've obviously hit a sore spot with your crap nickname

Your posts are the equivalent of of stray dog getting into a house and crapping all over the place. Now wheres my pooper scooper:mad:

[Conor H]

Some really sad,pathetic dribble on this thread.

None more so than a village idiot from a small town getting off on the idea that Galway City people are somehow inbred (http://www.sligoroversfc.com)Culchie (http://www.sligotown.net)Hicks (http://www.itsligo.ie).

As Sligoman said-Yawn.

Classic!

[Da Real Rover]

I would just like to emphasise that Rocket Fingers does not represent Sligo Rovers FC or its fans, so please LOI fans be mercyfull in your judgement of us. I have never read through so many cringe worthy posts in all my life, It has even mellowed my will to counter the ****e the krustys were spouting.

Anyway, Reiteoir, your a funny guy with the cheeky little word play you did with that Inbred thing, it indeed was very funny. But for an englishman those jokes are getting repatative, you have only been brandishing us with that for the past 700 years.

As for the galway fans, I dont want to stir more of the proverbial, but please calm yourselves down, your throwing your weight around like you've won two games at home or something.

As for the Bigots refuseing to come to the showgies, I couldnt have been any happier, they dont deserve to grace its soil. For the uninformed, it was to smooth relations between bogball and football representatives in the town, its fairly divided. Sligos GAA establishment is 1 of Irelands most bigoted.

Da Bit'O'Red originates from our colours (obviously) and the sligo town accent.
And tbh i dont really like the nickname, isnt my cup of tea. I like the original and unique nicknames, but do really dislike the GAA inspired nicknames.

As for the topic,
Best - Gypsies (its original)
Worst - Undecided, so many woefull ones out there.

I must reiterate my apologies for Rocket Fingers, he doesnt speak for all of us.

[Da Real Rover]

Says the person who embarrassed The Bit O'Red fans fans in Terryland last week. I feel that i speak for the vast vast majority of Rovers fans ;)

I dont even know you, TF. But im glad that you have actually decided to make an away game and I did nothing to embaress my club. I dont recall you walking over half of sligo putting flyers into houses a few weeks ago?? Your more concerned spouting you crap on here, and if you do know me, come up to me at the Derry game and say all your wisdom to my face, and dont be such a ****ing keyboard warrior.

[Da Real Rover]

[quote=Da Real Rover;759456]. I dont recall you walking over half of sligo putting flyers into houses a few weeks ago?? quote]

Sorry was away on my holidays with my parents that week great job though. No need for the rest of it though.

When you tarnish my name in a public forum, yes there is, plenty of reason. Actions have consequences.

Mods- Lock this f**ing s**te thread please!
