I'm really down on it after that news, had been missing off the board for some time and thought he was still recouperating after his illness. Patrique was the spirit of hoganstand, there was more than a touch of mischief about the man and I used to especially enjoy his sparring with Slayer on the elevenaside board, he had the knack of turning anybodies opinion totally on its head, infuriatingly so at times! I think I'll give HS a break for a few days, all the best Pat, you were unique. brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 14/10/2011 21:03:43 1052281 Link 0 |
Very sad news. Always enjoyed his posts, whether he was being serious or on a windup they were always worth a read. Derry_ledd (Derry) - Posts: 2093 - 14/10/2011 21:06:07 1052284 Link 0 |

Just sitting watching my 12 year old daughter playing her Bodhran tonight I thought of Pat and his rendition at the Kildare v Antrim game I knew the Great man wasn't well but still shocked at his sad passing the HS will not be the same without him. Even a fool knows we can't reach the stars, but that doesn't stop the wise man from trying Pat has now succeeded R.I.P.

RIP Pat. Its amazing how a man could touch so many people through a simple web forum. One of the wittiest posters ever and as said before one of the most knowledgeable. From reading the title of threads you could pick out the ones he started :) Con (Louth) - Posts: 511 - 14/10/2011 21:37:48 1052309 Link 0 |

Hard to believe. Usually disagreed with him, but was a man who clearly had a great love for all things GAA and particularly Antrim. I havent been a regular poster on this recently but his posts on hurling when the season kicks off will be missed. A fine GAA man Pat by all accounts. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 14/10/2011 22:01:06 1052330 Link 0 |

Genuinely, probably the best poster the forum has ever seen. It is quite a strange thing to feel such sadness about someone I have never met. I hope he knew what he meant to us all on here. Knowing patrique, he probably did. Sad times. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 15/10/2011 10:22:14 1052339 Link 0 |
