No padding out the list with jockeys please.
We can do that too you know!

Ah DH, Trevor Brennan, you could have thrown in Ray D'arcy or Charlie McCreevey and they would have been preferable...

I wouldn't argue with him! D'Arcy or McCreevy never played for the Kildare Minors.

Walsh and Eddery arguably the greatest ever in both their codes.

Who have yee Meath boyos got?

The Carberrys are too busy lighting newspapers on fire on planes and boozing. (No mentions of Kilcullen's Timmy Murphy here!). Barry Gravity wouldn't have been heard of if it wasn't for two Kildare trained horses - Kicking King (Straffan/Ardclough) and Moscow Flyer (Moone). Johnny Murtagh learned his trade and now lives on the Curragh so yee can't claim him.

My dogs a Lily White (with paws to match) but he would rather reside in the beautiful county of Meath! They didn't feed him as a pup in Cill Dara.

For wherever he roams, theres no place like home and the beautiful county of Meath.

I can't picture Trevor Brennan playing James Bond.

[AZOffaly]

I can't picture Trevor Brennan playing James Bond.

If he did, he'd beat him.

[Hardy]

Trevor Brennan automatically invalidates the use of rugby players.

Tommy Carberry arguably the best NH jockey ever. He had the lack of foresight to conduct his career in black and white.

We win on racecourse count, too (casting vote to Laytown):

Bellewstown
Navan
Fairyhouse
Laytown

And now I'll play my joker:
The Red Collier.

Big Willie Heff would be perfect for the role!

Like Geraghty, made his name on the back of Kildare trained horses for Dan Moore - L'Escargot, Tied Cottage

A poor man's Pat Taaffe

Pat Taaffe? A poor man's Anthony Knott.

Great stuff lads.
Top Trumps county style.

Who has the best pubs?

[Donnellys Hollow]

Pat Taaffe (Kildare) 25 Cheltenham Festival winners     
Ruby Walsh (Kildare) 25 Cheltenham Festival winners
(Joint winningmost jockeys ever)

Tommy Carberry (Meath) 16 Cheltenham Festival winners

The stats don't lie Hardy. Being a stats man yourself you should know that!

Moving away from the horses I heard that Cathal Sheridan used Persil. He really found it got the sh1te out of his shirt.

Sure Kildare men are only Laois men with shoes.

The Meath minor football manager:



Someone has to teach them young ruffians how to play the game. Their seniors clearly don't know what game they're playing as their last minute Touchdown in the Leinster Final proves.

Who has the best pubs?

Whatever about pubs, we have the best chippers like "The Valley Cafe".

Apres Match in Newbridge involves salmonella & chips.
