Corky check your facts before you speak!!!!!

The rule 42 thing was a board decision (or a Frank Murphy decision).Almost all the clubs in the county wanted to change the rule but the board decided not to take a vote which was a joke,prob because the the lads at the top knew it would be defeated.thats only a handfull of small minded people.

Ollie, point taken, it was the first example that came to mind and woe betide anyone on here without an example

Suppose what i'm getting at is the whole Peoples Republic thing and that attitude which I agree is probably a minority, but a large enough one as far as I can gather. I find it strange that one place in the whole of Ireland pertains to be so unique and different (better??) than the rest of us that it should be a republic. But from what i'm reading here that attitude probably p155e5 of a lot of Cork people as well.

Easy... it was a dig at Bray, not you. Pretty much like a lot of the thread has been a dig at some area or other. I'll stick to slagging it for being South County Dublin instead to avoid offence...

The same thing is in Spain with cataluna and the basque region.they look at themselves as a different country.
the whole peoples republic of cork(proc) thing is just a bit of fun for most of us any way.(as the tayto ad says there is always one)
If you look at the proc website its just havin a laugh.

Jaysus KT - Letterkenny is not a big town !! Not even in Irish terms !

Sligo - now that's a big town. So too Athlone, Omagh, Enniskillen,Tralee etc. Letterkenny is just a main street, with a looping weird one-way by-pass type thing round the side of it and a load of naff housing on a hill to the other side !

It's barely the size of Strabane....!

It has the atmosphere of a big town cause all the Derry muckers come in for the night out and the good exchange reate on the sterling

Rare huures the lot of them

I meant that there are big towns close to me so i would not go beyond them(to letterkenny) that often. I did not mean that it was a town on a scale of Omagh, Enniskillen, Monaghan, no way!
