Terms like Drogs, Mons and Lims were invented by the Sun a few years ago. Persoanlly I hate them but the paper does/did give great coverage to the eircom League.

Shannonsiders has been used occasionally for Limerick and the Blues a bit more "We're here the Blues are here what the hell do we care..." used to b esung at away game sin the 70's/early 80's but not so much anymore.

You got the usual imaginative ones like rovers, Bohs, Pats and Shels - "Bit O' Red" is definitely the best although Sligo fans hate the term "rovers" being used for a certain Dublin club and claim that one too.

"Da Town" is probably still a Longford one too.

Hmm, your only one of a handful of people i have ever heard calling us the Seasiders. We go by The Seagulls, hence one of our songs................
SEAGULLLLLLLLLLS, SEAGULLLLLLLLLLS, SEAGULLLLLLLLLLS, SEAGULLLLLLLLLLS !

Dont think Seeeeeeasiders has quite the same effect

Can never get my head around Donegal men slagging off our clothes/fashion.
Its actually the reverse, I get a good chuckle at the stuff these guys wear when i pay regular visits to their capital 'Letterkenny'.....!!! Light years behind.

Fair enough about the greyhounds, there was quite alot of them walked in Derry in the past, as for your DHSS claims, Farm jobs must be scarce in Donegal these days when your good self has moved to Corcaigh. Not to mention all the annoying rednecks who work in Derry.
