Should have got Robinson.

Should have got Madrid, didn't know Partizan played in a EC final.

Dean Whitehead? Who the fvck is he?

eagle eye

I think I got `12 points on the first round. There is one question and when I went back over it, I thought I hadn't given the answer. I put down Joe Fagan and when I was going back over it I though I had forgotten to put in the answer and put in Ronnie Moran after that again. Anyways you prob gave me 1 point there, but I thought I still had another five correct.

Gazza, Sheedy and the last three questions.

Just looking back at it, I even forgot to put in Howard Wilkinson.:rolleyes:

Xavi6

Did crap in that one. Happy I got Paul Stewart and John Sheridan right though.

Jaysus I got totally confused on that four derbies question. I started thinking of Niall Quinn and then Howard Kendall popped into my head and I put down Quinn as the answer, you know at Man City he improved Quinns balance with the wobble board and all that. Mad.

redout only undertook two of the three rounds before I am called dummy

But fair play Dub13 that was a tough quiz. As I said earlier it definitely favoured the older crowd. How about a premiership quiz only down the road ?

I think we could have a league thing on this where you get points for your finishing position. Everybody had to do a round of questions and take that week off obviously. Base it over a two month period. Your 5 best results counting towards your final league score given that people will miss a week or two through being off work, holidays etc.

Thanks to D13 for putting the work in there and congrats to Xavi on winning it.

I was thinking it may be better to have a different quiz master every week,that way it would have a different angel each week.But if nobody is up for it I can always do another one.

How about the defending chap gets first refusal on been the next quiz master..?

LOL....see the Sky Sports Generation thread.

What did you lot think if the questions..?I was not sure how hard easy to make them,I think I got a good mix of questions in overall.

Sounds quality

Yeah a decent mix. A few too many Merseyside related questions for my liking though!

I'll do the next one then so. If I'm not gonna be online at the time of the quiz I'll just PM the questions to you in advance.

eagle eye

Ok, if you are not giving me points for Gazza then I have 9 points. But sure everybody knows that Gazza is Paul Gascoigne and that was the answer I think. You explained the Joe Fagan one and thats fair.

The other ones are Kevin Sheedy, and the last three East Stirling, West Ham and St. Colmans Park

I dont think anybody got the Frank Stapleton one,thats a good one.

eagle eye

Cheers Dub13, that was excellent. Good tough questions imo.

So what about a League thing then?

Who is interested? Will this week count or will we start a League thing from scratch?

I think three rounds might just a wee bit time consuming for a Friday towards the end of the working day. Thoughts?

I am willing to do the next round if you want.

Dub13 wrote: »

That killed me, I should have got it. Would have given more time. For some reason I though Everton were beaten in a Cup final around the time they won it and went for Ablett.

Yeah, I found I was swamped with the questions, even for a Friday afternoon.

I had to pull out after the first round.

Dub13

You may get away with two rounds but there is a lot more possibilities of a draw.We could run it earlier in the day.

Somebody mentioned how rushed it is,well thats to stop lads using google.

The league thing is something to conceder.

Yeah I understand the google element alright. If you can't trust guys not to use it then so be it. There is an answer to that though. You will see it when I do a round of questions.;)

Apparently Stapleton played in three finals for the Arse, 1978-1980.

Would explain why no-one got it.
