Seriously mate, weâre all guilty, Cork 1920, Wexford 1798, Limerick 1690 etc etc.
We all loves our counties
To think it was me who held your hand stuck up for you when you first came on to this forum a couple of years ago.
I read the whole piece, and not just the passage above. The passage you highlighted as snobbery merely counterpoised the incessant questioning of our hurlersâ âmanlinessâ, as Connolly put it. I have had personal and business dealings with three of the Connolly brothers and can assure you that they are far from snobs.

Whatâs the matter with you?
Any sign of our resident Galway hater and Cark wanker turenne lads? He must be sick to the pit of his stomach!
Take your bad manners out of this thread and show some respect.
Are you still here?

For the second time in three years, the Galway senior hurling championship could be stalled because of an ineligibility row.
Turloughmoreâs 0-16 to 0-13 victory over PĂĄdraig Pearses on Saturday looked to have seen them earn a quarter-final spot ahead of Portumna.
However, Portumna were successful in appealing their 2-17 to 0-18 defeat to Turloughmore in June after citing that the north Galway team fielded an illegal player that had transferred to the US.
According to the GAA website, Jamie Holland was granted a switch to Chicago club CĂș Chulainns on June 1, two days before they beat Portumna. Holland came on as a substitute in the game, scoring four points in the game, two from frees.
Portumna missed the three-day window following the game to appeal but were only made aware of Hollandâs situation after it had elapsed. However, under rule, the Galway competitions control committee (CCC) were obliged to investigate the matter.
Portumna brought their case to the Connacht Council on three occasions after it was twice referred back to the Galway board before the player was eventually handed a proposed 12-week ban as well as the club chairman and secretary while the two points awarded to Turloughmore for the victory were then deducted from them.
That would mean Portumna, on five points, would qualify for the knock-out stages with Turloughmore, demoted to four, facing a relegation battle.
However, the championship is in limbo as Turloughmore are in the process of appealing the boardâs decision with an imminent appearance before the Connacht Council. Itâs believed they will bring their case to the Disputes Resolution Authority should the council uphold the county CCCâs decision.
In 2014, Turloughmore contested the Galway competitions control committeeâs decision to eject them from the championship for fielding an ineligible player against Beagh.
The championship was held up for six weeks because of the saga and the final didnât take place until mid-December.
In 2009, the final between Portumna and Loughrea was put back as there was a question of whether Mullagh, who had lost the semi-final to Loughrea, were going to appeal the result.
Turloughmore is currently managed by former Mayo senior football manager James Horan who is assisted by John Hession and former Galway dual player Barry Cullinane. Brendan Gantley is in charge of Portumna this season.
Theyâll have to cancel the Connacht championship at this rate
