(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Can we have some feedback from Admin on this please.
Give posters a sense of what if any action might be taken for continuous infringement. ???

Yes that would be good, for example I can't see how bringing up Dublin's massive financial advantages or home games etc etc in a discussion on the GAA and where it is going is "insulting" to anyone - it's a fact.

Bias as I am, but for me the Dublin posters are the worst offenders in all this, constantly goading Kerry, insulting the county's past AI's as well as their players and of course posters.
For example lately there is all this stuff being posted about Donaghy somehow being a professional during his playing days?

I'd like to add that a very vocal Dublin poster has been on here before laughing at injuries his team inflicted on a young opponent, surely that is red card territory?

As regards the above, I'd also have my suspicion that some Dublin posters are also working as moderates on here judging by what some of them are allowed post so again this needs to be called out if it is the case.

By the time you mean laughing at a player getting injured, it was me, after Sean O Shea was taken to hospital as part of a precautionary protocol, it was well known he was more then fine, had played again and the news had been cofirmed.

The joke was, i said when the Dublin Dr asked him how many fingers he was holding up Sean said "five in a row". It was meant in jest and hardly rejoicing at any injury.

If people took offense to that i apoligise, but the majority didnt and it was taken as a bit of banter, but saying laughing at someone getting injured is taking things to the extreme of victimhood.

I just wanted to clear that up, because its more about a personal vendetta about a poster/s i choose to ignore then it is about the issue in question.

Anyhow takes all types.

If admin are actually serious about this what are they going to do about people who are obviously using multiple accounts?

Or posters who trown out insults if people don't agree with them?

100% the hermit, also admin need to pull posters who have more than 1 account which I believe there are quite a few on here.

There are a lot of dubs on hoganstand------.

Ha ha irony alert, you should be last one to talk about anyone insulting a counties past All Ireland wins. Like a lot of posters here you're no shrieking violet yourself who can't take it after dishing it like your hissy fit a couple of years ago one night after, I'm assuming, a few jars.

Why would moderators start a thread and then allow the same WUMs to do exactly what they say they are trying to eradicate.
Doesn't really seem like this is at all designed to stop the culprits and is just a case of stirring it up.
Probably not good for business to be getting rid of numbers and unlikely to hear anymore from them as usual.

If you'd care to refresh my memory about what you're referring to I'm all ears. The only thing I can think of posting here after "a few jars" as you put it, is the night of the 2017 semi final replay when I said it was bad enough putting up with the unsporting behaviour of a couple of Mayo fans I encountered but the fact 2 random Dubs took the time to come over to me in a pub and start sledging Kerry left a bad taste in the mouth.

What a horrible person I am to express my annoyance of that....

It's not insulting, its boring. You boys bring it up on most decent threads in one form or other and ruin the thread.

He said, she said. I think you'll find however, a sizable amount of goading is done in retaliation for some of the ludicrous claims you all make.

I posted about this as it was reported in several newspapers and picked up by various media at the time. It's not like it was made up. I understand from the decent Gerry not the troll Gerry that Kieran himself took to twitter to dispel the articles in question. Not being on Twitter anymore I missed this.

No idea what poster you're on about or what you're talking about re injuries.

Ridiculous claim. We all have seen posts we dont agree with or think have gone too far. Get over it.
