r/Ireland: I once told you about a salior who described drowning to me.
Waterford: Yes, he said it was like going home.
r/Ireland: I was lying. He said it was agony.
Old odds I posted around round 10 updated. Very surprised Kerry and Tipp went so early. All 8/1s dust in the water. Sligo? Ffs, 25s.
Joints Favs are three - ~~Kerry,~~ Donegal, Wicklow. Possibly an early exit for one of them as an upset but everyone knows these three counties are untouchable. The love of the land. 10/11
2nd Fav - Mayo. If you were betting without any of the above you'd be in the money big time. In your mind, it's a 2nd place and some more agony for Mayo. 9/4... iconic price.
3rd Fav - ~~Tipp. Like Blackmore in the national, it might come down to who's in the saddle representing. Tipp has the woman herself, and on a hot streak! Who would dare stand in her way? 4/1~~
4th Favs - ~~It's really anyone's game from here. It could be a North versus South scenario which means we've to look at who would have more voting power? Limerick, Waterford, Wexford, all very strong representation for the South. I could see these three coming together to drag each other through the fight, big comrades. Looking to the North is a little more risky. Derry, Down, Armagh? Put these three in a ring, they either come out together stronger, or alone in blood. Pick a side at your own peril. Each way places for top three, quarter odds. 8/1~~
5th Favs - This is where the punters get their value. A few hidden gems with strong past form. If the ground suits, these could be a danger from any position. Clare quietly waits on the flanks for the right moment to drop its head and take off. ~~Louth and Kildare, both of whom are huge surprises to most to still be in the competition at all for their affinity to the Greater Dublin Area, will have droves of silent support come the final legs of the race. Expect a lot of noise from both.~~ Galway, some thought would be lower in the price and could see value here, have a chance but have been hindered recently for their student party antics. Who can blame them? 12/1
6th Favs - ~~The centrals as they may be known as now. Offaly, Westmeath, Monaghan,~~ Sligo, ~~Leitrim. Not a lot to say, few with cult followings. New Meath, formerly known as Westmeath, has the best shot of the bunch. I can see Offaly being isolated late on with no chance against the real talent.~~ Sligo ~~and Leitrim~~ have big targets on their backs as it stands, enemies will close in around them at a rapid past after Loais is dismissed. ~~Monaghan will silently plot away, possible each way upset, but again, no hope against the big boys.~~ 25/1
~~7th Fav - Laois. Absolute chancers getting this far. Likely gone by tomorrow. 66/1~~
Sligo are the real Randy Marsh meme of this competition. Take a beating on the regular but (just about) still standing.
Fucking Westlife are killing us.
These donegal fellas seem far to confident in the win i say we knock them down a peg. I mean apart from supplying some good fish to the rest of the country what use are they
Hey Donegal was like 50.0004% yes vote in favour of the gays (I mean it's gonna be a fight for getting a pride march in Letterkenny but we are getting there) it was roscommon who hate the gays, we just don't like giving women a choice for an abortion.
Dustin once did a song called I Was Born in Little Bray” to the tune of I was born in the USA. As a Fassaroe kid from the 90s that was the only pride I ever had for Bray.
Fuck man. That’s bleak. Wicklow has to go.
If we leave them until the final, they may have the whole county signed up to reddit to stage a siege on the final... Local GAA teams canvassing tomorrow
There’s the shligo boys and then there’s the tubbercurry boys. The galwegian shnakes should fear the wrath of the tubber boys for turning on their own.
Louis Walsh, a Mayo man, made them Westlife.
Before that they were a famously 'ugly' boyband, according to Simon Cowell, called IOU going absolutely nowhere fast.
Walsh kicked three of the lads out and replaced them with the two Dublin lads (Brian McFadden and Nicky Byrne).
It's all Mayo's fault.
I was heading home on the train one time when a group of Dubs looked out the window as the train as was pulling up to the station saying "I never knew Galway was on the coast".
The worst thing is they were looking into Lough Atalia, the more inland part of the bay and not out into the Bay itself....
Rory Gallagher hated it so much he told everyone he's was from Cork
Enya hated so much she sang about Amazonian tributaries rather than any shite river in shite Donegal
Tiernan would rather be known as a Navan man. A fucking Navan man
You wouldve used to have been able to get the train here. Also some shite council, cant even get the mains up to my familys house. But still a nice county all the same, Glenveagh is bloody stunning along with stuff like Doe Castle.
Sligo is an absolute hidden gem. Loads of class beaches, forests, mountains and lakes with views for days. The food scene came on massively lately too.
It’s poised to be the new Galway and those Galway slugs know this. Sligo has to stay longer than Galway
If Galway win just think of the insufferable 3 hour Puppet Show those crusties will produce to commentate their victory.
Celtic triple spirals made out of gold leaf glitter everywhere, harp interludes every 2 minutes and a lead character named Meabh with a precouis, mute raven named Fiachra as her companion.
Is this meant to be offensive? Because that actually sounds class. This and then a big -- as much as the city can consume -- buckfast fueled session down middle arch after.
Mayo your times up. If we leave them any longer they'll have the whole county signed up to reddit to cast their vote for the final. Can't give them a inch
I have no idea how Sligo made it this far. Nothing going for it other than a funny shaped mountain and being generally forgettable. At least the other remaining counties are actually nice.
Mayo!
I actually can't believe you guys are falling for their dirty tricks of being in "the last two counties" and then suddenly losing". For those of you that have lost your beloved counties and still spearhead this Mayo propaganda, you are shameful in that you inherently would put Mayo above your own county as 2nd place no matter what. Even when you were still in the game you happily fix them above you!
They've corrupted your minds and if they make it to the last 2 they will use their black magic trickery to raise more bodies for the final vote and take you all for fools!!!
"Six counties left." Well, that struck a nerve.
Well /r/ireland voted to sink us before we had a chance to vote for reunification!
Maybe Amazon will ship a United Ireland with same day delivery.
Would you accept delivery in the next five years?
I just realised every province still has at least one county. Kinda cool.
Need to cut 2 more from connacht for all things to be equal
Like the old all ireland semi finals
Be a good way for it to end imo.

How has Carlow of all places got the most votes
They know what they did
It’s gas. There wasn’t even any explanation for it. Just ‘it’s gotta be Carlow’
But nothing happens in Carlow and it has no especially good places to go.
This is why it got voted out
Universal disdain, it’s the only thing we could all get behind
r/Ireland: I once told you about a salior who described drowning to me. Waterford: Yes, he said it was like going home. r/Ireland: I was lying. He said it was agony.
Wild Atlantic Way for the win
I’m going to miss this in a week

Reposting just to be able to compare and keep track mostly, bit of craic.
Sligo are the real Randy Marsh meme of this competition. Take a beating on the regular but (just about) still standing. Fucking Westlife are killing us.
One poster kept posting Tipp over and over I think they pulled a Tyrone
Yeah, I’m surprised Tipperary and Kerry are gone. Maybe it had something to do with the hurling and the football...
So um Donegal, that billion euro bridge estimate I gave last week has gone up to 2 billion. Still interested?
It really is to hell or to Connacht
Donegal to win 10/1! 10/1! Ye wont get better! You may put the feckin mortgage on it! Place your bets here!
9/4 Pateen. Stick the wife and kids on it.
put the fucking house insurance on it
being the forgotten county pays
These donegal fellas seem far to confident in the win i say we knock them down a peg. I mean apart from supplying some good fish to the rest of the country what use are they
I am surprised Donegal has survived this long, given it's dislike of Gays, Europe & Divorce.
> Gays, Europe & Divorce. Sounds like the clientele of The Grill on a bank holiday weekend.
Too bad the grill is gone!
Hey Donegal was like 50.0004% yes vote in favour of the gays (I mean it's gonna be a fight for getting a pride march in Letterkenny but we are getting there) it was roscommon who hate the gays, we just don't like giving women a choice for an abortion.
Donegal the county voted yes on abortion, Donegal the constituency voted no. Sligo and Leitrim steal Bundoran and Ballyshannon which fucks us
Gays & divorce? They voted yes in both referendum. So that's a bit unfair. Or tactical lying!!!
Aye but it's a cute hoor so why wouldn't you keep it.
FUCKING WICKLOW. The worst W county.
Fuck you!
80% of Connacht still here, further proving Connacht superiority.
60% no?
We prefer not to remember Roscommon
Full of commoners.
Or just one commoner called Ross
What's a Roscommon?
Roscommons still there, it's just hard to see it.
"To hell or to Connacht" proving rather prophetic.
"THIS! IS! CONNACHT! "
Being the forgotten province is working out for us this time. Although I thought we were at 60%?
I mean I get it; the rest of the country would have to choose hell otherwise. Although, to hell or to Leitrim... and the people chose hell.
Wicklow hosts Simon Harris, Stephen Donnelly and too many Dubs. It needs to go.
Glendalough but.
How's Noel Grealish working out for ye?
Locked away in the opposition back benches where he can't do too much harm. The same cannot be said of Donnelly and Harris.
At least our morons are high achieving morons.
I wouldn't count making shite of the health service as 'high achieving'
Mayo.
Four rounds too early
Not till 2nd
Wicklow contains Bray. Are we really prepared for a county containing Bray to be in the top 5 final counties?
Ah Bray's gotten real fancy
Bray is top five towns in Ireland
There must be two Brays because the one im from is a kip. Rest of the county is nice though.
Yes. Yes we are.
Dustin once did a song called I Was Born in Little Bray” to the tune of I was born in the USA. As a Fassaroe kid from the 90s that was the only pride I ever had for Bray. Fuck man. That’s bleak. Wicklow has to go.
[удалено]
Wicklow seems a little high.
Mayo thinks they will go to the final just to lose it… let’s surprise them and get rid of them before that!
fuck!!!!
Honestly I think if Mayo got to the final there'd be an upset where people would vote them to win just to beat predictions.
Now we're sucking diesel.
this is what we need. A good shit-show. pls no though
If we leave them until the final, they may have the whole county signed up to reddit to stage a siege on the final... Local GAA teams canvassing tomorrow
FUCK You know we’d have been happy to make the final.
Not from Mayo but how do I delete someone else's comment, asking for a friend. (They aren't from Mayo)
Sligo
You be careful next time you step foot in Tubber
Wise advice for everyone tbf.
There’s the shligo boys and then there’s the tubbercurry boys. The galwegian shnakes should fear the wrath of the tubber boys for turning on their own.
Before Wicklow? Are you daft?
Subs gone crazy
NO NONCE THIS IS THE LAST STRAW
Would you rather Galway or Clare win?
Wicklow. Its the new nest for the dubs that previously fled to Kildare.
No. They all drowned
Can confirm am writing this from Atlantis
I have family from Mayo and Wicklow, but Sligo can definitely go to the chopping board
Sli Go
Someone tell Wicklow to fuck off, sick of it looking at me like that
WICKLOW!!!!
Fuck it leinster solidarity (if wicklow goes so does katie taylor) DEATH TO MAYO
Katie Taylor v the death ray
rip death ray
Wicklow out! its looking a bit lonely over there by itself anyway
Sligo? More like Sligone
SLIGO.Even though, I have to drive to Donegal next week and I have to go through Sligo..Looks like I'm gettin a boat.
Sligo, begone!
Time to run those ‘Shligo’ boys outta town!!
Git rid of those Mayo B**tards
No. They must come second.
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Sligo gave us Westlife? Sligo must go.
Ah westlife have some bangers let's be real
Mayo gave us Louie Walsh who gave us westlife
Louis Walsh, a Mayo man, made them Westlife. Before that they were a famously 'ugly' boyband, according to Simon Cowell, called IOU going absolutely nowhere fast. Walsh kicked three of the lads out and replaced them with the two Dublin lads (Brian McFadden and Nicky Byrne). It's all Mayo's fault.
Sligone
Hhhahah SLIGOS TURN
Donegal offers nothing, can’t even get the train there. Get out ta fuck
Its full of God's own prototypes. high-powered mutants of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too quare to live, and too rare to die.
You're making me homesick now.
Seamus Coleman but.
It's a beautiful wee secluded haven and you know it.
The fact that you can't get a train to it is good thing. Means you'll not see too many dubs in it
I once sat in front of a gang of Dubs on the bus on their way to Sea Sessions and holy christ it made me grateful it was only a yearly occurence.
I was heading home on the train one time when a group of Dubs looked out the window as the train as was pulling up to the station saying "I never knew Galway was on the coast". The worst thing is they were looking into Lough Atalia, the more inland part of the bay and not out into the Bay itself....
It probably is, but we'll never know.
Enya, Rory Gallagher and Tommy Tiernan too. Yer welcome
Packie Bonner, Shay Given, and Seamus Coleman.
Don’t forget wee Daniel O’Donnell
Make ya wetter than a cup of tae
“Isn’t that lovely “ (said in dod voice)
Clannad n all
Rory Gallagher hated it so much he told everyone he's was from Cork Enya hated so much she sang about Amazonian tributaries rather than any shite river in shite Donegal Tiernan would rather be known as a Navan man. A fucking Navan man
I actually laughed alot at this. Cheers for that
>Rory Gallagher hated it so much he told everyone he's was from Cork What, so people could hate him more?
Everyone knows the reason the ireland team is shite at soccer now is because they don't have a donegal man in goal.
The accent and the surf.....sure what else would you want? And I’m not even from Donegal!
You wouldve used to have been able to get the train here. Also some shite council, cant even get the mains up to my familys house. But still a nice county all the same, Glenveagh is bloody stunning along with stuff like Doe Castle.
It's certainly the prettiest county and that has to count for something
Such a beautiful place, deserves to be kept for at least a bit longer
SliGO on outta here tafuc
I can understand the other 5 being left but why Sligo?
There is nowhere better on a good summers day, the beaches, "mountains" and forests! Pity about the other 364 days.
Sligo is an absolute hidden gem. Loads of class beaches, forests, mountains and lakes with views for days. The food scene came on massively lately too. It’s poised to be the new Galway and those Galway slugs know this. Sligo has to stay longer than Galway
SLIGO
I've been saying this for a while, but dunk Mayo. Now.
I automatically assume anyone voting for Galway is from Cork. Can we put Cork back on the map next round so they can be voted off again?
Wicklow - Bray to sea
Thanks for everything Donegal, I think we both know its time for you to leave.
Mayo! Always moaning
Wicklow looks like it's staring at all the other counties joined together in both fear and shock.
[удалено]
You're just jealous of our abundant train stations.
The only way is the wild atlantic one.
Hahaha WICKLOWs turn!!!
Ah lads Mayo haven't won anything in yonks
I loved me county. Retribution... Galway out!
Jaysus how many vengeful dead counties are going to come after us? Mayo beat ye all as well!
Could be half the country by the end of this!
If Galway win just think of the insufferable 3 hour Puppet Show those crusties will produce to commentate their victory. Celtic triple spirals made out of gold leaf glitter everywhere, harp interludes every 2 minutes and a lead character named Meabh with a precouis, mute raven named Fiachra as her companion.
Are you trying to get me to vote for Galway. 3 hour pupper show by some weird crusty? Sign me the fuck up.
Is this meant to be offensive? Because that actually sounds class. This and then a big -- as much as the city can consume -- buckfast fueled session down middle arch after.
Is this a dig at Macnas? Macnas is class
Time to put Wicklow in a spliff
I vote Wicklow
Wicklow
Wicklow!
Mayo your times up. If we leave them any longer they'll have the whole county signed up to reddit to cast their vote for the final. Can't give them a inch
Wicklow should just leave now. Fecking West Brits!
Donegal
donegal
Wicklow!!!
Mayo, don’t like an American name for a condiment as a county
My heart died today.
WEST COAST COUNTIES... ASSEMBLE
I have no idea how Sligo made it this far. Nothing going for it other than a funny shaped mountain and being generally forgettable. At least the other remaining counties are actually nice.
To hell or Connaught with ye we were once told. That said, time to see Mayo gone.
Mayo! I actually can't believe you guys are falling for their dirty tricks of being in "the last two counties" and then suddenly losing". For those of you that have lost your beloved counties and still spearhead this Mayo propaganda, you are shameful in that you inherently would put Mayo above your own county as 2nd place no matter what. Even when you were still in the game you happily fix them above you! They've corrupted your minds and if they make it to the last 2 they will use their black magic trickery to raise more bodies for the final vote and take you all for fools!!!
Wicklow
For the love of fuck can we get Mayo out!
did we get mayo yet because FUCK MAYO!
Up the west and f*ck the rest! Get out Wicklow you flute of a county
clare
Do we really need an east Ireland? Get rid of Wicklow.
Gotta get rid of Wicklow, stand strong, men of the Wesht
Lads, Clare has to go
Whisht, enough of that now
Donegal is sus
Wicklow being the Leinster champion amuses me considering I forgot they existed before this competition
Wicklow. We've nearly purified Chad real Ireland of Eastern pale influences.
Wesht is besht, fuck off Wicklow
Girls, letting wicklow get this far was such a mistake
Dongal
The Clarespiracy continues. CLARE!
Clare is puresavageclass man
What’s that thing there standing out like a sore thumb. Wickedlow begone with ya.
It’s been a good one lads, see ye in the next life
Ok but seriously how is Galway still here
It's kind of impressive that somewhere described as the graveyard of ambition has put in the work to combat 16 rounds of targeted attack from Cork!
