gliy and lilmaigheo 100% correct, very narrow minded. just shows the level of intelligence of some people. if anyone from the six counties is not irish then that means most of our grandparents are british as the likelyhood is that they where born prior to the treaty of 1921 when all the country was under British rule. I think hoganstand.com should not print such rubbish comments as their are proper GAA fans who want to have a proper debate, and not have it spoiled by morons whose furthest trip was probably to the local big town for christmas shopping. seein since hoganstand rightly edit comments which are seen as inappropriate is it not about time they starting riddin this site of rubbish comments like the muck we are reading?? Back to the point....the Cunninghams from Donegals 1992 panel where born in London. read about darren o sullivan being London born, apparently he is a very good rugby player. Kevin Cassidy grew up in Gorbals in Glasgow!!! Micheal o Muireachairty (probly spelt wrong) had a classic commentary in 03 semi final against Armagh, something like 'Kevin Cassidy, born in Glasgow, thainig se go dti an Gaoith Dobhair...learned Irish!!!!!!!

Joe Sheridan was born in Birmingham and played under age football and hurling in Birmingham for John Mitchel's. That shouldnt pain anyone to say
Sorry about you "your.right" but it does pain me to say it and make no mistake about it.Im not afraid to say it either.Theese threads always evolve around stupid posts and by and large waffle from a select few.In future theese threads should be ignored...
