12) Another lad from my class in school but plays for another club
13) Marty the free taker from our under 14 team who played under 16's as well, dedly wee lad
14) My Auntie's nephew on her side who sometimes plays with us behind the Community Centre
15) Any one else I know who plays in a club within a five mile radius of our club

thought this was a great post on the tyrone board under the heading "2008 underage team of the year"
it was simply to make a mockery of all the young lads who come on and make threads about "u16 team of the year" and so on. it was from a novice poster and i must say i had a good laugh at it!

I agree with mossbags with the "if you were a girl" post from Dr Nick. Stunning in it's impact. It'll be one of those where were you moments in years to come.

There is a great post in a field about 2 miles from my house. It has been standing there for about 12 years now. Great piece of wiring with it. No cow or sheep has every broken out of that field. Amazing stuff.

THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND RE: The Mayo - Dublin Treaty.

IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom......

I do hereby i declare the Mayo - Dublin Treaty signed.


We declare the right of the people of Hoganstand to the ownership of Hoganstand, and to the unfettered control of her destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible.

The people of Ireland hereby claims the allegiance of Mayo and Dublin. The Mayo-Dublin treaty guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all of its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.


We place the cause of the the Mayo - Dublin treaty under the protection of the Most High God. Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, in humanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

Signed on Behalf of the Provisional Government.

Lads could we organise a knighthood for Jim for that post, i dont think he should be ashamed (i reckon he's under a differnet name) but rather the fun we'd have if he posted on another topic. Could we organise a hoganstand post of the year or the like? Given what Wexford win these days, i would gladly applaud Jim on his achievement. Poetry in motion! By all accounts he's from Gusserane so should be easy enough to figure out!
