It wasn't Given. I can't remember the guy's name, but I think he played for Huddersfield at the time.

That's close enough for me!

Next question please Zaph.

Sorry for the delay - as I said before, I'm not here too often, so here's the one I posted (and withdrew) before and I'll leave you with the website where you can find the answer, so you won't have to wait for me to tell you you're right.

5 clubs have won the old English first division the season after being promoted from the second. Who are they?

ANSWER HERE:

Pigman II · 27-09-2003 2:26am

Hmmm, in the interest of keeping this thread alive I'll 'guess' Liverpool/Everton/Spurs/Ipswich/Notts Forest.

Here's my question : in 1906/07 Shelbourne came 2nd in the League and Bohemians came 5th. But who came 1st?

celticfc · 27-09-2003 11:42am

Shamrock Rovers ??

Big Ears · 28-09-2003 4:26pm

ST. Paths ?

Pigman II · 30-09-2003 4:33pm

It wasn't Pats or Shamrock Rovers.

Clue : It wasn't a Dublin club.

LizardKing · 30-09-2003 4:41pm

Is the Team still going or has it changed name ...

There was a team before Cork City called Cork Corinthians or somethin , is that it ???

Zaph · 30-09-2003 10:48pm

Is this one of those trick questions where the teams aren't Irish but are in Paraguay or Bolivia or somewhere like that?

Pigman II · 01-10-2003 10:28am

Nope, this is the Shelbourne FC that play at Tolka Park and the Bohemians FC that play at Dalymount Park.

The club in question still exists (with the same name now as it was then) and I'm pretty sure if your any sort of fan of footy you'd have heard of them.

gerire · 02-10-2003 3:01am

Sligo Rovers

Pigman II · 02-10-2003 8:38am

Not Sligo either.

This seems to be proving tougher than I thought but keep the answers coming. If nobody gets it by tommorow then I'll post the answer.

glasgowspremier · 02-10-2003 9:35am

An educated guess is Linfield FC?
I think there was an all Ireland league (and team) in those days.

LizardKing · 02-10-2003 2:18pm

What about Londonderry F.C ....

glasgowspremier · 02-10-2003 3:23pm

Who are they?
Maybe a predecessor of Derry City FC (Founded 1928)

Hairy Homer · 02-10-2003 5:55pm

Dundalk

We have a winner!

Yep, prior to 1921 (and the formation of the FAI) Bohs and Shels played in the Irish League against familiar names such as Linfield, Glentoran and Distillery etc.

Check here if you don't believe me!

Next question from glasgowpremier.....

Big Ears · 05-10-2003 6:21pm

its been 3 days so im going to posta question. who was the top scorer in european qualifiying for world cup 2002 ? and with how many goals ?

Oswald Osbourne · 05-10-2003 6:39pm

I think it was shevchenko. Don't know how many goals tho. I'll guess 12.

glasgowspremier · 07-10-2003 1:39pm

Sorry for the delay in replying people - I was away watching football.
This one should be easy enough.
Who scored for Limerick in both the home and away legs of their European Cup match with Real Madrid in 1980?

Big Ears · 07-10-2003 11:36pm

the answer to my question was shevchenko and with 10 goals.

Tony Ward

glasgowspremier · 08-10-2003 12:31pm

Nope.
Good guess though Mr Memory. I have a feeling he only played in the first leg, though I am open to correction.
Now that I think of it - whoever can give the correct answer re: Tony Ward would most likely be able to answer the goal scorer question as well.

bucks73 · 08-10-2003 1:50pm

Youre right. He only played the first leg. Mate told me who scored but I will let others have a go.

glasgowspremier · 13-10-2003 12:02pm

5 days and no reply. If there isn't a correct reply posted by tomorrow I will ask Bucks73 to post his reply and (if correct) a question of his own.
So come on now - there must be somebody out there who remembers the glory days at the Markets field in the 80s

glasgowspremier · 14-10-2003 12:48pm

Give us your answer bucks73 and we will see if your mate is right.

bucks73 · 14-10-2003 1:08pm

Des Kennedy.

glasgowspremier · 14-10-2003 3:38pm

Correct - please take centre stage.

bucks73 · 14-10-2003 3:45pm

Nice one.

Which golfer has played in more majors in one season than anyone else?

celticfc · 14-10-2003 4:40pm

Originally posted by bucks73

Is this a trick question ? There are only 4 majors in a season & most players attend all of them.

bucks73 · 14-10-2003 4:51pm

I wouldnt call it a trick question as such. Jack Nicklaus and a few others previously held the record and it was beaten this year.

bucks73 · 17-10-2003 12:07pm

Ok thats three days so heres the answer.

Tom Watson played in nine majors this season. The Master, US Open, USPGA, British Open and also the five senior majors of which he won two.

The record was eight but this year the British Seniors open was awarded Major status and he was the only player to compete in all nine events.

PH01 · 17-10-2003 12:18pm

Surpised to see this thread still going, but whatdaheck! Give us another question, Buckie!

Aahhhh I see.

Next question please.

bucks73 · 17-10-2003 12:30pm

On we go.........

When were red and yellow cards first used in football?

Yavvy · 17-10-2003 12:38pm

bucks73 · 17-10-2003 12:50pm

Bang on.

Next question please....

Yavvy · 17-10-2003 1:17pm

IN SNOOKER WHAT WAS
RECORD NUMBER OF POINTS SCORED BY ONE PLAYER IN ONE FRAME ??

LizardKing · 17-10-2003 1:26pm

154

Yavvy · 17-10-2003 1:29pm

nope. and I think you should have to name the player too !!

life is already too easy on you all

celticfc · 17-10-2003 3:45pm

I'm sure it was Dominic Dale about 3 or 4 years ago in the World championship. I'm not too sure about how many. I think it was either 157, 167 or 187 (something with a 7 at the end anyway).

Yavvy · 17-10-2003 4:15pm

Celtic, you take the prize...

167 Dominic Dale v Nigel Bond in 1999 Embassy World Championship (R1) (Break 122 plus one red and 11 successive misses worth 44)

your go my friend

celticfc · 17-10-2003 4:21pm
