Ronan O'Gara stock rising on OWC!

Roscommon doesnt start immediately over the bridge -- as far as I'm aware in 1898 the then built up area west of the river was included in Westmeath when the new Co Councils were being set up.

As for Mr Ferris ...I thought all ye North(East) bucks could tell by the distance between the eyes

If Tony can't get a rise out of the prods he turns on the freestaters

You can usually tell by the name. Sean, Seamus, Eileen, Bernadette etc taig, Heather, Mervyn, Walter etc prod. If the christian name doesn't do it then the surname usually does

"Stephen Ferris" would not be a daily communicant or own rosary beads I would safely say

[Croí na hÉireann]

is the buccs ground not in roscommon?

It's in Athlone.

Is it the roscommon side or weastmeath side?

No roscommon side to Athlone, all Westmeath...

Across the bridge?

All Westmeath, notice the "Welcome to Roscommon" signs at the town limits when your leaving Athlone, heading to Roscommon town or Ballinasloe next time you're passing through...

[Tonto]

You can usually tell by the name.... Eileen... taig

I agree with the others, but Eileen?  I assume you're joking?

Really, I always thought the run down part of Athlone was in Roscommon, infact so did many people I know from Roscommon.

An Irish Gymnast team cannot have the tricolour flown or national anthem played in Newry (an area that is 85% nationalist)

Eg the Irish gymnastic team cannot even have the tricolour flown or national anthem  played in Newry (which is 80% nationalist)

These posts where mere hours apart.
At this rate there wont be any nationalists left in newry by chucking out time tonight.

Can't see why Stephen Ferris' background is relevant here unless he is not from Ireland and therefore ineligible for the IRFU and the state reception; or unless he had a canoe in his pocket too when he met the Queen.

I went to school with a lad named Stephan Ferris and he was ordained a Catholic priest after he did his Leaving Cert.

[DennistheMenace]

His background shouldn't be relevant but we shouldn't be suprised people want to know given our locality, the religious denomination that someone belongs too is nearly always of interest to people here, especially in regards to 'celebrities'. Not that this makes it right of course.

Well this one plays rugby, doesn't come across as religious in any shape or form, and has a rather tasty looking bird so it must be a different one.

I'd say 95% of people think that
