"Drogs" makes me puke blood through my eyes every time I read it and defecate through my ears every time I hear it. Such an ignorant Anglo nickname. "That's a fahnny name for a tahn, Paddy -- Droggidawh?"

It's come up a couple of times. I got shouted down years ago as did LTID in more recent times I think. I wouldn't be overly keen on it myself anymore tbh, maybe for something unofficial...Quote:

I never liked names like the Supersaints or the Thoroughbreds. They are so smug and false.
Usually, the media call Galway United "the westernerers" and Cork City are "the Leesiders".
Most people refer to Bohmeians as "Bohs" (and not the Gypsies) and to Shelbourne as "Shels" (not the Reds) and St Patricks Athletic as "Pat's" (not the Supersaints)
At the risk of being tarnished as anti-Sligo, I have never heard anyone speak the words "Bit O'Red"; I have been to many games in Sligo and know a few of their fans. However, it is totally unique and unmistakeable. Can we modernise it and call them the Red Bits from here on?
:cool:
that wasnt even my comment you responded too that was GUISAsaigon!!... my god you just seem stupider by the post, stop annoying me now good lad and hop off back to school!!;)Quote:

And don't forget the lady footballers, they are the Tribesmen too, and the handball team. We've no imagination down here. Still, its better than the one ye have with Bit O Red. Or is that Bitter Reds? Red Bits? Are ye all Commies, or have ye some terrible genital infections?
Dundalk FC - The Railwaymen.Quote:

Are Dundalk not the Lilywhites? Is Duns not just a Sun abbreviation?
Oh is that what you call it. Run down to FAS and enroll in the clown's course, RF. Come back with your "humour" when you get funny.Quote:

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

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.. :oQuote:

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
Well done noby, it was obvious from the first post that was going to happen.Quote:

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