Have to give credit to Utd. Wee touch of luck not to concede an o.g. at 1-0 but they controlled the game well. Liverpool just haven't started firing yet and I have VVD and Robertson in my fantasy team.

The Ban was repealed over 50 years ago at this stage, try not reading this thread if it bothers you so much.

He's more protected in England's defensive structure, hence why he looks like a colossus for them and a donkey for his club.

It's the one and only non-GAA topic amongst countless others on GAA matters.
There is less GAA matters to discuss generally now that the county football and hurling seasons are over.
The more use (posts) this Hoganstand Forum gets, the more it's likely to last.
There are a lot of GAA topics on here I'm not interested in and I don't read. I suggest you do the same with regards to this topic.

I guess even in the U.S. it doesn't take them two months to figure out what the topics are in a forum titled 'Non-GAA Forum'.

If All Irelands were in September this thread wouldn't have started yet. I'm not a lover of soccer but it's easier watched than the American sport, rugby with shoulder pads.

Replying To crafty:  "Usyk is a very good boxer but he doesn't have the power to knock out Fury. Wilder put Fury down but he has the best punch in boxing at present. Usyk hit Joshua with all he has but didn't put him down and Joshua doesn't have a great chin. Remember how Ruiz stopped him in the first fight."
I think before the weekend Joshua was the perfect role model for the likes of sky sports. Fury was seen as a bit eccentric. In pure boxing terms though, I totally agree on Fury. When the bloke is fit and his head in the right place I can't see anyone to take him. He's just so powerful and ain't just a big hitter, well able to move too.

I think I shall read it if I wish. Are you saying you have the authority to tell people what to read? Thank you very much.

I'm building a new house at the moment, does anyone know the story with septic tanks or what are the regulations on them, and if they have run into difficulty getting the house built because of it?

I know in Tyrone it's an eco tank plus reed bed.

Should be a lot of knowledge on here regarding septic tanks as a lot of people seem full of the contents. Lol. Thank you.

I totally agree with you. The GAA has left the stage now and scored a terrible own goal by changing the All Irelands from September. Nobody really cares about club games except people in the club areas. The GAA has handed the limelight to other sports and that can be seen even on this forum. August and September were always the highlight of the GAA season.
Other mistakes they have made are changing U21 to U20 and minor from U18 to U17.
The minor finals should have stayed as curtain raisers to the All Ireland finals.
Who makes these crazy decisions?

You're building a house and you don't know the regulations, and never bothered finding out before you started?

Well the regulations are obviously different for you in the UK so there isn't any point in you contributing. I know many regulations, why are you being so smart about the thing?

Our club games are still going on , 2 league games left yet championship not starting for weeks yet. Club players training from January and some will still be play late October and they wonder why some take a break and go to America.

" Nobody cares about club football only those in club areas " …. What sort of a nonsense statement is that.. what sort of fool are you…? If there was no club football how do you expect there would be county football…. And by the way soccer is now more entertaining than a lot of the rubbish served up at County level….

In rhyming slang, Septic tanks = Yanks :)
