Bstarding bstard

Could visualise the goal but just couldn't think of Jimmy Quinn's name
Was debating between Jones and Giggs and thought it might be a double-bluff

The rest of my performance was down to my own ineptitude.

Xavi6

Couple of super scores in that one.

Carroller16

2/12 in the first round

Des have you got another ticket for that failboat

did quite well there, and two of the 3 Barca captains right, should have stuck with my first guess on iniesta though

I'm certainly no expert on stadia and I'm not even replying to that. It only suits a specific type of football fan and not all football fans. If you had pics of players and other stuff relating to soccer as well as one or two pictures of stadia it would be fair.

LuckyLloyd

Jaysus.

Easiest round ever lads.



The clue is in the question!!!

kryogen

Well if it reads that way fair enough, it was not the intention though. Was just pointing out that it was all pictures of football stadia and its a very specific subject, so it suits certain people but I don't think its fair to all, unlike general soccer questons or soccer pics.

As for doing it next week, not a problem or at the moment its not a problem.

As far as being the best quiz ever, I never claimed that it would be and I didn't say your quiz was pathetic or anything, just the last round I had a problem with. But if Caroller wants to do it next week no objections from me.

If your not happy with my comments then take it to pm please and stop having a go on thread as its getting tiresome.

I don't know what you're talking about, it wasn't my quiz.

If you're not happy with the quiz questions, maybe you should take it to PM and stop having a go on thread? Just a thought.

Or if you're not happy with the questions just don't participate? This is the 2nd week you've had some comment to make about the questions, nobody else seems too bothered.

therecklessone

Seeing as I'm off night's next Friday morning so should be around in the afternoon, I'm available to do up next week's questions if the rest of you would prefer to concentrate on answering them. Just let me know.

eagle eye, the very next time I see you direct ANYONE on what to do or how to behave on this forum you will be banned.

You have already been warned very clearly about backseat modding. If you have a problem with a post or a user, take it to PM yourself or report the post, This has been explained to you before.

DO NOT REPLY HERE. If you ave a problem with the direction, you may PM.

That is the end of the matter, on topic.
