There is a Hoganstand Civil War over in Mayo the past few years between the Flaker and the Master. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 29/07/2016 11:12:57 1891893 Link

There is no clique, There are lads who know each other well on here as we have been here years, but, if we were a clique we would all be agreeing with each other and back slapping the whole time, calling new members noobs and being pricks! I am a compatriot of Jimbo, Wayne, Damo etc and I know them years on here. I have great time for them and often interact on there with them, however, as they will agree, I argue with them more than anyone id say!!! Hence, its no clique. Thats a good thing!! Long may we chat, long may we argue. The day we all start agreeing with each other based on geography is the day we are in trouble on HS Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 29/07/2016 11:44:19 1891913 Link

Replying To OLLIE: "Med who is playing the hardest to get? By the way Happy Belated Birthday. Don't go too mad over the weekend." HAha well as far as I know, The Flaker moved away from Mayo, so he's setting the pace alright! I should probably stop now though. Thanks for the birthday wishes Ollie, one more year before another milestone! MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 29/07/2016 12:36:09 1891950 Link

Replying To OLLIE: "There is a Hoganstand Civil War over in Mayo the past few years between the Flaker and the Master." I wouldn't rule out another Hoganstand civil war occurring between my good self and Alano12 waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/07/2016 13:34:18 1891982 Link
Replying To waynoI: "I wouldn't rule out another Hoganstand civil war occurring between my good self and Alano12" Wayno I had a Battle of the Boyne royal rumble with BettystownRoyal a few times. He just disappeared of Hoganstand a few years ago now. I heard he met some Wee County Lass and he moved up to Carlingford with her. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 29/07/2016 14:07:58 1891988 Link

Replying To jimbodub: "I've seen this mentioned a few times now I remember when I started posting here I used to say the same thing! You have plenty to say but you mightn't get the same recognition So is it just a thing when you start posting and feel a bit left out, or is something altogether more tin foil hat brigade stuff thinking there's an agenda against you! For me it's only natural to back up posters that you share a similar opinion with, and that's most common amongst your fellow county men/women, but even at that there's been some right civil war posts between fellow county men/women and we've all been guilty of that! So if there is a clique on HS... perhaps it's more down to simple recognition between posters who have been here for a while... The way I've always approached it, it only makes sense to threat everyone with respect from the start and then wait to see if they deserve it... You'll always have some that are looking for conflict, or have an agenda but overall I think there's plenty on here with very well informed opinions and if you're not willing to recognise that then what's the point of contributing at all, we're all here because we enjoy GAA... IMO there is no clique..." There's no clique Jimbo. It's just a Mickey mouse forum. Relax and get out a bit more. liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 29/07/2016 22:01:12 1892132 Link

It's mainly for "oul cradais" waiting for their maker. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 30/07/2016 11:57:11 1892246 Link
Hoganstand forums are a bit like Ireland and the GAA family in general. Posters might band together for county loyalties or if they think one of their players has been slighted by a poster. It's usually just good-natured craic and banter but the odd time heated words are exchanged. But like the GAA family we give each other a hand. Counties advising each other of good places to stay, pubs, restaurants etc if they're visiting for a match, just helping other posters. Arock's thread today about traffic in Dublin is a good example. We're here for a goodtime and a bit of craic and many's the post I've seen here put a smile on my face. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7360 - 30/07/2016 16:54:17 1892320 Link
