Happy Christmas - 5 Like(s)
Just want to take the opportunity to wish all the Hoganstand posters and Admin a happy peaceful Christmas. We all have the banter and the arguments on the forums but at the end of the day its only sport, no hard feelings with anyone. Its a tough time of year for a lot of people so look out for one another and take care. Best wishes :-)

Replying To TanCanRan: "Lad, you're from Donegal. The most hyped-up football team in the country when Jimmy McGuiness is in charge." Jim1991 isn't from Donegal. They never post on our forum. They've been asked a number of times not to claim to be from our proud county. It is most likely the poster from Mayo who posts on numerous threads under a number of different names.

Replying To Claretandblue: "If it was a serious mistake by him then why should they appeal it? Camera didn't seem to pick it up but commentator certainly spotted it and his tone before card was shown indicated that player was in bother. Huge loss for Loughrea, hurled well today but Ballygunner look hungry to be regarded as a great club side and need a second All Ireland to be considered that" Being honest about it Loughrea could easily have had a someone sent off in the first half, a few yellow cards for head hits were lenient to say the least.

All we want for Christmas is a Leitrim promotion and a Roscommon relegation. Super.

Looking Forward To 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "Cavan were fantastic in Castlebar. Fully deserving winners.
Donegal and Galway got off to a flying start in 2025 national league. Donegal, Dublin, Galway and Armagh of course were all favourites going into quarter finals. They'll all be chomping at the bit to tear into 2026. Tyrone then and Mayo will be in All Ireland contention as well.
7 main All Ireland contenders again. Up to the challengers to mount a challenge.
ALL IRELAND CONTENDERS - 7
Donegal, Armagh, Tyrone, Dublin, Kerry, Mayo and Galway.
PROVINCIAL CHALLENGERS - 7
Monaghan, Derry, Cavan, Meath, Louth, Cork and Roscommon
TOP 16 BATTLEGROUND - 7
Down, Fermanagh, Kildare, Offaly, Westmeath, Clare and Sligo." Your own Kerry will be the clear favourite to retain the title. Contenders will be Donegal again and Galway should they find the form if 2024,2022 instead of greatly underachieving as they did this summer.
We have seen the best of Armagh in 2024 most of their best players have retired or past their best now they are contender to reach the last 4.
Tyrone another that might reach the last 4 and that will be their class ceiling for the year. Some good young players coming through that will need time to show their true worth at senior level
Dublin back to back Quarter final exits and lost their Leinster crown for a reason. Big rebuilding job for Ger Brennan and don't have the past underage success to pick from. Probably another Quarter final exit for them.
Mayo a long way from a contender the last few years, round 12 exit in 2024, group stage exit this summer. Andy Moran will use the media to hype up the team but end result is a team far from contenders for the All-Ireland in 2026.

Replying To Galway2k17: "I was at the match myself and unfortunately for Loughre he did strike him with the hurl. Two players were grabbing each other and killen pulled across the guys stomach happened right in front of us and the linesman too. Moment of headloss for the youngster who has been outstanding." I was right behind the lrea dug out. There was no intentional strike. Cullen killeen is as honest a player you'd ever see no way was there and intentional strike. Wait and see what happens .....

Replying To SouthGalway: "Why were they not playing? Injuries? Are they both starters?" Darren shaughnessy is Loughrea's best forward, ankle niggle kept him out. Shane o Brien was our best hurler last year. Back in contention to start again. He plays midfield.

Is this now policy that if you have an embarrassing poster from your county they are automatically from Mayo? Easy target I guess.

What this character knows about Donegal football, would fit on the back of a postage stamp. Only posts about one topic in particular and pops up in different incarnations.

Replying To Claretandblue: "The commentator certainly changed his tone significantly when it happened and that was a few seconds before ref issued card. Not sure how you can say Macdara didn't see it unless you were told by him." Because he saw Rogers on the ground. But he didn't intimate at all that he had seen an actual strike. He was literally looking at the replay trying to make it out, but said Johnny Murphy must have seen something.
