Replying To Viking66: "I'm not getting into this debate all over again. But ask yourself this- why were the goalposts shifted so many times? It started out with vaccines that were developed in an unbelievably short period of time, with little or no human testing. We were told get this vaccine to save yourself. Then it was discovered that covid didnt kill most people who caught it. So it became get this vaccine to save Nanny. Then shortly after that it was discovered that none of the vaccines actually prevented you from getting covid so even if you did get the vaccine you could still give Nanny covid. So the new goalposts were get the vaccine and you won't get as sick when you catch covid. Then after many more people who weren't vaccinated at all got covid and weren't any sicker than when they had other viruses, or didnt get sick at all, the goalposts were shifted again to "vulnerable people".
All the while annual overall mortality in 2020, when the majority of people were unvaccinated, was very little different to the previous and subsequent years." In fairness Nanny was goosed if she crossed the county boundary. We love our county borders but we had to wait until 2020 to learn about their magical powers.

The biggest crime was committed by the media who pushed and slammed down anyone who questioned it. I'm another one who regrets taking the first 3 vaccinations. Feeling wrecked with little energy on more days than I ever did and I blame in vaccine.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Faucci was the subject of Congressional hearings and even Intelligence reports regarding his connection to the Wuhan lab where the virus may very well have emerged, either by accident or as an artificial experiment which leaked.
Whole episode was highly dubious, Recall the videos and stills from China showing people dead in the streets?
I didn't get vaccine for simple reason that I would not trust the people who were forcing it on people to mind my dog." Same as. Was all too rushed. I minded myself and my family. Didn't spend time with people outside that circle in enclosed spaces for a long time.
There's still too many things I know that have never been adequately explained. People I know personally are still not right after taking vaccines. Vaccine status wasnt recorded for most deaths, and still arent. Overall mortality in 2020 wasnt really far out of line with 2019 or any subsequent years. Lads are still dropping like flies at English soccer matches, that just didnt happen to anywhere near the same extent pre covid.

lets not all go nuts here....conor mcmanus and nudie hughes are out and out monaghan legends...ill give it to beggan too but he'll have to wait til retirement for me so hopefully in another decade or two...
monaghan greats are the next tier down - top top players - freeman, finlay, D hughes, (all the all stars too) etc
then you've got your cult heros - moen & R woods - have all the ability but probably its the fond memories that stands out - id put K hughes here too - maybe o'hanlon in years to come - the lads that make you enjoy watching football
and your unsung heros - mcanespie, finty kelly, duffy, corey, bannigan etc
anyway - just talking off the top of my head here - no real facts or figures involved

A compliment to Patrick is as a Kerryman I was delighted that he did nt start any of the two finals he played in against us.He caused trouble on both occasions on his introduction.He was highly rated in Kerry.A truly brilliant footballer and hope he enjoys his well deserved retrtement.

Of all the memories of Paddy one that sticks in my mind was when he kicked the winner after a late comeback in the league against Kerry in Mac Cumhaill Park in Jan 2023,
his celebration and also that of Paddy Carr that day, we were in a bad place and Paddy was there doing his utmost as always for Donegal.
If he had lifted Sam last Summer as captain it would have been a fitting send off for him but it wasn't to be.
The Ulster final this year and that picture of himself and Michael with the Anglo Celt in the dressing room afterwards, 2 Donegal legends, fantastic stuff.
Thanks for everything Paddy, you'll never be forgotten by Donegal fans.

Replying To Square_B: "Why are we all indulging 'SouthGalway'? Any supporter of Trump has to be pitied (and called other things which I'm not allowed to say here )." You're right of course. We should all think like you. How dare anyone stray off of the reservation. Trump has a million faults but imagine how bad the other side has to be for him to be the better choice. Trump pees me off many times every day but the other crowd was just one big incompetent mess. From the border to letting out repeat violent offenders from prison in every blue inner city, etc they just sickened me to no end. How can someone have 72 arrests then still be out to kill an innocent person. What would it take to keep him in prison?

Replying To farneygael3: "Both literally haven't posted since last Friday or maybe before 6pm Saturday. I was thinking the same myself" Yourself and the vetern both posted on the Hoganstand Forum a half hour after the final whistle blew for your club to win the Ulster Club. How on earth have you let 'Mick2007' get in your head that much to the point that the first thing on your mind after winning an Ulster Club is to post on Hoganstand.. Got some laugh at that.

Replying To maroondiesel: "I am neutral on USA politics, but I pity the lads here who have Trump stuck in their heads 24/7. Every comment, every social media posting he does is headline news to lads in Ireland. Yet, FIFA is led by the same type of leadership, and you are all looking forward to the soccer World Cup. Ireland is just as corrupt and greedy as the rest of the world, by the way.
I'm also sick and disgusted by the anti-semitism in Ireland today. This is my rant to finish off the year.
Peace and goodwill to all." What anti semitism?

Replying To jm25: "Just on your last line stoppages in games is it not the case games just carried on in past when people were ill in crowd?? There were no defibs at ground or quality of medical personal to nowadays?
You could also say this never happened pre Covid just as much as pre vaccines depending how you want to suit your agenda
Also bar Erikson who inter say wasn't vaccinated no issue with players to any great extent despite what online will say.
Like it was far greater in mid 00s mcanallan, foe, John McCall the Irish u20 and feher a benfica player all passed away in a short window.
I believe energy drinks were queried as issues back then" I'm not getting into this debate all over again. But ask yourself this- why were the goalposts shifted so many times? It started out with vaccines that were developed in an unbelievably short period of time, with little or no human testing. We were told get this vaccine to save yourself.

All the while annual overall mortality in 2020, when the majority of people were unvaccinated, was very little different to the previous and subsequent years.
And also ask yourself why there havent been any figures published for incidences of deaths due to the severe side effects that we were told were possible on account of taking the covid vaccine? Within a set period of receiving a vaccine? In most cases they didnt even collect this information. They either didnt perform an autopsy at all, or they didnt record the last time the deceased had a covid vaccine administered. Or both.

I find it funnier with the weather warnings no distinction between clifden to portumna meanwhile a small town like cloonfad or ballaghdereen could have 2 or 3 different warnings within a few miles

My post "half an hour after the final whistle" was to remind people Scotstown would be in Croke Park this year, as called during the Monaghan championship and never a reference made to anyone until today. But so we are clear, when is an appropriate time to post after the final whistle? 40 minutes? 60 minutes? 3 hours?

Replying To jm25: "As I said I agreed with your previous points for most part
I can check mortality rates but I cannot be bothered so are you saying they have gone up since Covid and vaccines ?? Is there insight into the cause of increase
I've been called a vaxxer and anti vax last 2 days that's what I get for providing balance
Fwiw I got 1 jab June/ July 21 and booster late 21 wouldn't take again got purely for holidays
I had zero side affects and fitter now then ever possibly also as I drink very little nowadays and the one good thing frim Covid WFH gives me more time for running workouts etc" I'm not an anti vaxxer in geral. Far from it. I made sure all of my children got all of their vaccines. Just not the covid ones.

Replying To HB245: "None of the above, in my opinion. For me personally, I assure you, in the 30/60minutes following my club winning an Ulster Club, I would still be on the pitch celebrating with the lads or else on route straight to the clubhouse. Quite possibly the last thing on my mind would be what 'Mick2007' on the Hoganstand Forum was saying. Each to their own though." "On route straight to the club house" One might suggest this would be the perfect time to post to kill the traffic boredom. Or the hour drive from grounds to club house. Did you really need this spelt out? Like explained where some people would be 30 minutes post game and 1 hour (traffic) from home?

Heard Kobe McDonald played but Meath won out in a game of two halves!" Kobe is an exceptional player, seen the scores, boths Halves one sided, must of been bad wind, think mayo shouldn't bother playing Kobe especially with him going to OZ. They should be playing lads that will be on the panel next year

No pressure on the town as this is a fairly routine exercise!!!" No doubt you'd have been trumpeting similar sentiments in 2022 when Toms came up against Dunloy.
And lost.

Replying To RoryGall35: "Folks absolutely gutted about Paddy..what service to Donegal..he's an absolute legend..With it probably being Michael last year in 2026 Im just thinking what will our full forward line be in 2027..CoDonnell, Oisin and is there another out and out forward coming up?" Probably looking at Seanan Carr or McCahill from Four Masters. Shea Malone from Glenties had a big impact for a man that hadn't played much GAA for few years. Cian McMenamin possibly if looking to put a big man in there.
