I don't mind Derry, But I would rather eat my own feet than shout for Tyrone.

Whilst I was glad to see Donegal win only their second AI, I really would hate to see the game progress down that style of a game. I know Tyrone have had a big role to play in that with their swarm defence back in 2003 but we've also put up massive scores back in those years and also this year in the league we've often scored 1.15 or more.

In last year's Ulster championship Donegal scored 5-59 in four games, more than the 1-15 per game you quote. They the went on to score 3-39 in the remaining three fixtures, an average of 1-13, so when you say that you would hate to see teams "going down that road", all I can say is let's see more of it!!!

It speaks volumes for the state of our game that we have so many 'neutrals' wanting the Dubs to do well for the year ahead. People who often in the past would have liked to see anyone but Dublin do well (well maybe not Kerry).

I must admit I too would be glad to see football take a step in the right direction and move away from the more defensive focus. I suppose Gavin believes that maybe for the first time in years Dublin have the raw talent to build an attack minded team that can go out and play to outscore their opponents.

Last year's 1/4 final of the ladies football c'ship:
Cork 8-27 Donegal 0-2

Half the Donegal team went to a wedding instead.

That's what's known as having your priorities right. What were the authoriries thinking of, scheduling a game on the day of a wedding? Madness!!

Fantastic stuff. Congratulations to all involved

Any game involving the Kilkenny footballers

Hiya Lads

A few of us are going to Bilbao this coming weekend and we're keen to watch the league final on Sunday. The pub we were thinking of watching it in doesn't have TG4 but does have Premier sports however it looks like they are not showing it until 8.15 UK time according the the sky TV scheduler for the UK. Could it be different in Spain?

Have we any other options online we could look into?
I presume my sky Go won't work in Spain.

Sky Go should work in Spain. Just make sure you have WiFi or else

It wasn't 20 points, but the 2-18 0-9 hammering that Cork gave us in Croke Park in 2009 still has me waking up at night roaring.

What odds this will be the first classic between the two biggest heavyweights in the modern game and they will meet in September. Behold the top2 teams in modern Gaelic games
Lets make it a feast of football a lesson to the bridesmaids.

Hmmmmm..........

little hypocrite

I don't get it.

Squire obviously doesn't like sheep for some reason.

I think I've been pretty consistent since the issue first arose that I want to see a ban for the player involved if the incident occured.

I want to let the investigation take it's course.

I won't take lectures from posters who's counties/players are sent out to behave like cornerboys to get a reaction from players and to get them sent off though.

Wheras Dubs are all as pure as the driven snow & would never engage in any of the so called "dark arts".

Far from conclusive to my eyes.

Players reaction showed no contact was made with the eyes, Mayo authorities made no complaint & as for knowing what was in Thompson's mind, unless we have mindreaders on this site then thanks but no thanks.

Far too much interference from the authorities.

I can read as well as the next man & if a player has 18 on his back it is not a big deal to read the subs list to see who he is.

The fact of the matter is that printers need team lists in early & nowadays many managers don't make their minds up about their starting 15 until after the deadline.

McGee is not too bad & both he and Lacey are expected to be fit for the Tyrone game

[but in Tyrone its more a weekly thing.]

What is it with Tyrone teams/fans and controversy? Throwing a referee into the boot of a car after a match 2 years ago? A supporter getting his ear bitten off during a scuffle at a Club game in Tyrone last year,

A Errigal Ciaran fan throwing a barrel onto the Mullahoran players at half time in the Ulster club game last year in Brefni

Karl Lacey being allegedly spat on when he was sitting in the stand in Omagh last week. Thats only a few, , things happen in all counties, but in Tyrone its more a weekly thing.

interesting point of view. we'll take it on board and the committee will get back to you in due course.

I wouldn't expect you to get back to me, it was mentioned in Hoganstand. I'm sure they wouldn't make a song and dance of it.

ok, here's my take on what you're doing. you're stereotyping people from tyrone. you've made a statement, "but in tyrone it's more a weekly thing", where you've taken some isolated incidents involving a few individuals and made conclusions about gaa people from tyrone based on these isolated incidents. if there's a few people over on hoganstand, making the same judgements and insulting stereotypes about the character of tyrone gaa folk too, it only proves one thing. that there's are a few people over on hoganstand who are prone to stereotyping people.

do me a favour, lay off the stereotypes. seriously, you'll be doing me a favour. i should be doing something much more productive than chatting on here!   

Sorry Mister Sensitivity, the thread was set up about an incident involving a Tyrone club, i included other recent events. When there was recent events which happened why was it such a problem to mention them

As I said already incidents  happen in every county ,if you had read that,.. but seem to highlited more in Tyrone, maybe they happen more so in Tyrone I don't know..

you eejit, what part of stereotyping do you not get?

Did I call every Tyrone fan a headcase no, of course there is lots of sane fans...

you implied it, which is the same thing. and when you're challenged, you become concilatory and have nothing to offer other than platitudes about your perceived knowledge on the state of the mental health of gaa supporters.

Implying it and actually saying it are different things. I know Tyrone fans and yes they are normal people (a small minority have a thuggish element -not all)

.. Great to see somebody from donegal acting as a spokesperson for Tyrone though... I'm sure they can speak for themselves , eh? Without yourself getting all hot and bothered..

check your own posts you said it happens in tyrone more and we can infer from that that you're saying tyrone folk are more predispossed to poor behaviour. i was being kind to you when i said you were inferring/implying it. it's actually shit talk.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck & looks like a duck then the chances are that it is a duck
