Derry or Londonderry

[Dunedin]

A BBC Radio Ulster News report last night gave a Derry GAA result as Londonderry. Just felt it was obvious antagonization of the nationalists of Derry. Everybody interested in a GAA result would refer to Derry as "Derry". No need to call it anything else. What are yer thoughts on this? Am I reading too much into it?

Well I suppose as per their jersey they are in fact Doire, not Derry or London Derry, so everybody, bar a few, are getting it wrong.

Cork City fans chant to Derry City supporters at Turners Cross:

“What’s it like to have a Queen?”


Heh heh heh

"Dairy"

There are organisations in the maiden city which have "Foyle" as their prefix now rather than "Derry" or "Londonderry".

Depends who I'm speaking to.

Derry. Even the Apprentice Boys refer to it as Derry FFS ;-)

I couldn't give a toss whether it's called Derry or Londonderry.
It's still a shithole. Just below West Belfast in the shithole league.

WEST Belfast? Hmmm.

Actually Derry is rather a nice spot. Been there as a tourist and there's plenty to see and do. Kind of a mixture of Cork (surrounded by hills) and Limerick (size) and even a bit of Embra (walls and small historical city centre)about it.

It's a bit of a pain in the @rse to get to but I quite like Derry tbh

It is a complete kip according to my Derry and Limavaddy friends living in Cork

I was only there once and i have to agree
