Coming up to a traffic collision on the way to the game trying to get a glance at the car to see if you know who was involved so if you do you can then screw the window down and shout a bit of good natured abuse at them. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 31/03/2017 15:34:36 1973599 Link 0 |

Passing cars on the fast lane in the motorway and looking over to see if you know them...if you do....beep beep...wave or stick the fingers up depending on who it is :) .....then eventually the fast lane becomes the slow lane with the culchie drivers who don't know how to drive on a motorway.

I'd say Laois have possibly played a lot more matches than Mayo though Yewtree. We'd have provincial senior and minor football games there and also hurling minor and senior games. I know you'd think we haven't much success in hurling but we won semi finals in senior hurling in Croke Park in the 1980s, 1940s, 1910s, add this to winning many football semi finals. Even our minor footballers in the 90s and 00s. Iwasn't having a clip at Mayo, just Mr. Swartz! I'll give him a free history leason when i'm at it, he was calling us 'Leix' in a derogatory way. Well ourselves and Offaly were called Queen's and King's county after the Laois/Offaly plantation in 1555/56. After Queen Mary of England and her husband Phillip II of Spain. We were the first 2 irish counties planted. The reason being the O'Carrolls of Offaly, the O'Moores of Laois and other clans, including my own, were causing so much hassle for the English government. We were constantly raiding the Pale and very Gaelic. Queens county is often thrown at us by ignorant people who know no better :) The reasons were very similar to why Ulster was planted.
