The Clarin Pearl Senior Member Posts: 82 From:Galway/Limerick Registered: Jul 2002	posted 20 May 2003 04:13 PM a charmless man indeed. They always say that you should wait for people to get off before getting on. Obviously John3:7 had had an earful from the people on the train already. if he is not able to handle the bantr he should get off the stage. Aparrantly John3:16 is harder to explain in one quick sentence than 3:7.Gob****es were always going up winding him up about it and he obviously can't handle it. IP: Logged
Banner Boy back home! Senior Member Posts: 960 From: Registered: Oct 2000	posted 20 May 2003 06:24 PM If he does have another sign and takes it to the terraces for one of the major finals the GAA will be getting a protest letter from me stating that the Health and Safety regulations prohibits such signs from games. I've made it my mission in life to get this fcuker's sign banned from GAA grounds!! IP: Logged
waterford 2-23 Senior Member Posts: 78 From: Registered: Mar 2003	posted 20 May 2003 06:31 PM From the Irish Times Preacher stopped in his tracks Nuala Haughey The nation's veteran sporting evangelist, who uses GAA matches to spread the gospel message that "ye must be born again", has had his preaching prop snatched from him. Mr Frank Hogan's "John 3:7" banner was pitched out of a moving train on Sunday night as he returned from the quarter finals of the Munster Hurling Championship in Cork. The Limerick man believes victorious Clare fans were responsible for tossing the six-foot long sign into the Co Cork countryside. Ironically, the monicker given to Clare GAA players and fans is Bannermen. Mr Hogan, who is not given to uncharitable outbursts, said the behaviour confirmed his view of Clare fans, who he "wouldn't expect much more from". "You'd never get that from people from Kilkenny or Kerry or Cork or Derry," he added. The former Catholic has become a fixture at GAA matches around the State, holding aloft his large sign which refers to the biblical message: "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." The banner was six feet long and 18 inches wide, with John 3:7 printed horizontally on one side and vertically on the other. Mr Hogan said he placed the sign in between carriages on the train from Cork. When he arrived in Limerick it was gone. "A man said two or three Clare fellas threw the sign out the window of the train before Mallow," he said. Luckily, Mr Hogan has a spare John 3:7 board, although he says this back-up sign is too flimsy and tends to buckle in the wind. Despite the setback, he vowed to continue his 12-year long mission to convert sinners at sporting events, concerts, festivals and fleadhanna. He is accustomed to people coveting his sign and once had one stolen after he left it outside a railway station in Ballinasloe while he sheltered from the rain. "Most people want to buy the sign or steal it, they want it as a trophy. "Lots of people want to be photographed with it," he added. IP: Logged

"A man said...." That won't hold much water in a court of law! I'm most surprised that Frank left it unattended for some yahoo to come along and claim his 15 minutes, sorry seconds, of fame with said sign.

Tbilisi Senior Member Posts: 1367 From: Registered: Jan 2003	posted 20 May 2003 10:21 PM The less religious nutters at sporting occasions, the better. It's hard enough to escape these people in real life. The other day, some annoying jesus-freak ba5tard called to the door looking for money under the pretences of something called the "church collection". This is about the fourth time in a row I've sent him away with a flea in his ear, and he still isn't getting the message. I'm seriously thinking of telling him my family is Jewish or something.

DublinKnacker Member Posts: 11 From: Registered: Apr 2003	posted 21 May 2003 09:47 AM Could someone settle an argument for me? I've always thought that this fruit cake worked on his own, a lone ranger if you like. One of my mates reckons he must have at least one accomplice, because first, he couldn't possibly go to all those games/events, so himself and nutbag number two must be sharing the workload. Secondly my mate reckons he's seen games where there's a John 3:7 big yellow sign in the stand behind each goal. Two signs - Two space cadets. Anyone else seen this? I haven't.

A bit of tolerance is the backbone of most democracies but seems to be in very short supply for this individual. Incidentally hes advertising a faith most of us here subscribe to; the phrase hypocrites springs to mind. floorfacedown, Agreed! He needs to be a bit more flexible and personable in his approach, however. Quite a number of people here have spoken of their personal experiences of him during matches, none of which has been particularly good when tallied up. He leaves his sign out of his hand and then blames "clare fans" for tossing it out the window, without seeing any of the offenders. Very christian attitude that! Again, I say that he seems a humourless chap and needs to lighten up a little. He also has a touch of the zealot about him and this encourages a certain element to take a rise out of him. An all-too-easy target if you ask me! Personally, I give him a very wide berth if I come within 50 yards of him at a match. P.S. I don't think he goes to matches to watch them, just to advertise John 3:7. IP: Logged

Incidentally hes advertising a faith most of us here subscribe to; the phrase hypocrites springs to mind. I don't see anything at all admirable about him. As far as all reports are concerned he seems to come from the Ian Paisley school of hell and damnation rather any true Christian convictions such as a gracious manner. The man is a pain in the fcuking hole and shouldn't be let inside any ground in the country with his sign. Remember, every time you see Mr Hogan holding up his sign as the ball goes over the bar at an important game, he is doing either one or both of the following: a)blocking the view of those behind him b)taking up the place of a genuine fan who wants to be there for sporting reasons, instead of trying to convert 'unfortunate' non-believers. It's a pity they didn't toss the man himself out the window of the train rather than just his sign. IP: Logged

Banner Boy back home! Senior Member Posts: 960 From: Registered: Oct 2000	posted 21 May 2003 01:19 PM Well said lads! I've met a lot of these religious freaks in my time and a lot of them are fairly nice polite people.But this guy doesn't even have the smallest little bit of manners.My experience with him at the station was shocking if not a little bit scary seeing a grown man be so aggressive and belligerent to a woman with a baby.I wouldn't mind if he had had some sort of case,he didn't she was at least four feet away from the door.My mother was horrified by the experience and said she hadn't met anyone as rude in years. And now he's making these accusations against Clare fans without any proof? Yea we're nearly all positive it was Clare fans but there would have been some Tipp fans on that train also if it was going to Limerick.I reckon somebody has told him about this topic on Clarehurlers.com so he's taken a strong disliking to us all now.Good! I'll print this off and the give it to him the next time I see him to let him know was a cu*t some of us think he is... IP: Logged
