I ask a question

Whoever answers it correctly asks the next question...


At which Premier League football ground does the Home team use the Visitors Dressing Room, and the Visitors use the Home Team Dressing room, and why?

Fulham?

Didn't they leave the changing rooms out of the original plans hence why the 'cottage' was built?  Not sure they would swap dressing rooms though

Archie Leitch connection?

Correct answer


the reason is that both changing rooms, in the Cottage, are below the minimum size the EPL requires. As the home room is slightly bigger, Fulham offer that to the visitors to do everything they can not to be forced to build new dressing rooms which would be a logistical nightmare

These days with 11 players +7 subs +up to 10 coaches/support staff the dressing rooms are notoriously small as they were designed, by Leitch, for 11 players, no subs, one manager and a trainer!

Name the top 10 goalscorers from the World Cup 2010 UEFA zone qualifying campaign (all European countries basically.

9 different countries altogether, 2 from one country.

There is actually 13 as there are loads tied on 6 goals

Theofanis Gekas - 9
Edin Džeko - 8
Wayne Rooney - 8
Miroslav Klose - 7
David Villa - 7
Marc Janko - 6
Robbie Keane - 6
Stanislav Šesták - 6
Wesley Sonck - 6
Elyaniv Barda - 6
Andriy Shevchenko - 6
Lukas Podolski - 6
Euzebiusz Smolarek - 6

google c&p kinda ruins it

Sigh, any numpty can copy and paste...

thats was off the top of my head

so how did i do?

behave. why spoil it?

Anyway, its your question next.

Google banned please

100% David, fire away.

lol, jeez, i never though id get shot down so much for being clever at quizes!

Remember i was a member of the winning team at BB1 quiz!

anyway, here's a question i enjoyed that i heard last year, the only problem is, you have to answer it as if it were still last season. it does really work for this year, but i like the question that much:

Note: 2008/2009 season question!
Q: Name 6 Premiership players that have played and Scored in an Old Firm game in the past? - Clue there are 3 for Rangers and 3 for celtic!

Remeber this question was asked during 2008/09 season.



Note: snowball, teacake, div, pat need not apply as im sure we already discussed this in the pub one night.

Over an hour and No guesses so far? 1 or 2 is reasonably easy-ish

I'm struggling to think of anyone who's moved scotland-england

bellamy? that's all I've got

Thats 1, 5 to go

If last season was when Larsson was at Man U for a bit then he'd be one.

Petrov?

Lovenkrands, Newcastle last year

Daniel Cousin for Hull

Arteta


not sure if there are any others. Viduka maybe?

Barry Ferguson now but he was at Rangers last year?

Quiz ruined by being impossible without google.

Luckily Dave cheated on question 2 otherwise we'd still be there.

Let's be honest could any individual actually name them all?

Carlos Cuellar?

Thats the other 5, to gatso's 1

Larsson wasn't last year.

Since you've had a go tighty, you may aswell let Gatso ask next.

You are good tho Tighty

My go again

Name 7 players who have 4 FA Cup winner's medals each

This is gettable without googling as in all cases you are looking 1985 onwards

wtf are you doing on a football thread? you know less about it than girls do

giggs ldo

Cashley deffo.

yes

yes

Kanu?
Anelka?

No

hughes

yes

Ian wright?

Steve Bruce?

No and no

Gary Neville

Paul scholes

Must be two of them if Giggs is one!

Vieira?

No

Yes


Three names remain

Solomon Campbell?

No

trying to think of old school utd players and forgot keane. he must have 4

Andy Cole only won two, though I'm sure he collected a few more in the dressing room while the other players weren't looking...

correct


2 more needed both Arsenal

Lauren, knew i was on the right track thinking of Pompey players

Tads?

Ray Parlour?

blimey, good shout. you could've given me all week and I wouldn't have got him

Yes

Not Lauren or "Tads" whover "Tads" is

Tony Adams

sorry Rooks, No not Adams

Winterburn

No, or Dixon or Bould....but a ridiculous ponytail...

Seaman

Seaman

Pelham gets to ask the next question

2002,03,05,08

Which bowler has the best figures for England in One Day Internationals?

Overall or in one match.

Sorry, in a match.

Grrrr - I'm sure it's some bowler who didn't play much for England.

Someone like Chris Tremlett, only not him.

I am sure I have heard this before and it is someone weird.

I will guess at Paul Collingwood.

Correct. 6-31 v Bangladesh in 2005.

apologies, add Lauren. Good one

What was unique about the 2nd days play in West Indies vs England test match at Lords in 2000, that had never happened before or since in test cricket.

dixon

2 complete innings?

Not a single England player gave away their wicket with a weak flappy shot at a ball they should have left alone?

Wooooooooooow Stop right there, this is supposed to be a Sports quiz, why are Cricket questions now included!!!!!

Stop with the cricket, its shite and i have never watch a single game, or inning in my life!

Hahaha, I have to agree with Dave!

This is really close but not quite right.

Cricket>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Football.

It was the match we bowled them out for 54 in and then got 190 to win, just

Was it three innings in a day?

Lol could you get any closer without actually being right.

4?

3 innings in one session?

Were the WI still on their 1st innings at the start, meaning there was play in all 4 innings of the match on the same day?

Is the correct answer.

Wiiiiii.

That was a bit Gary Lineker of me - let everyone else do all the hard work then I goalhang and get the credit once they've practically worked it all out.

Need to think of a question now.

Tbh it was probs a 3 way tie and Gatso did say 4 before Andrew but I missed it. Sort it out amongst yourselves.

did lineker let someone else actually score and then claim it was him?

I claimed the goal and it was my name Jeff Stelling read out on Soccer Saturday - there no dubious goals committee here.

Let's see how this goes.

If you get a train from Plymouth to Aberdeen you will be able to see 20 English and Scottish league grounds by looking out of the window.

Which ones?

One of them is Plymouth, and one of them is not Aberdeen (as it's on the north of the city).

Nineteen more.

you can't go direct so can we choose our route?

Exeter

Yeovil

Bristol C

Birmingham C

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Crewe Alexandra

Stockport County

Manchester City

Bolton Wanderers

Carlisle United

Ayr United

Queens Park

Glasgow Rangers

Hamilton Academicals

East Stirling

Dundee

Dundee United

Cowdenbeath

Forfar



ok that's my guess, no help sought

you can go direct - there's a 9.25 from Plymouth which gets to Aberdeen at 20.55.

I'll add

arsenal, york, newcastle, sunderland, boro, hibs, hearts

wow, that's ridic. you could cross 1/2 of europe in that time

Tighty gets Bristol C, Birmingham, Dundee and Dundee United.

Gatso gets Hearts, Hibs and Newcastle.

Seven gone - the route goes north-east from birmingham, not north-west.

Leeds, Doncaster?

North East from Birmingham you say?

Will take a crack at Leeds United (definitely visible from train), Sheffield United, Darlington? Hartlepool? Chesterfield? Berwick Rangers?

Must have missed a few South of Birmingam too. Torquay?

Stoke and Port Vale?

Floppy gets Leeds.

Tighty gets Sheff U, Darlington, Chesterfield and Berwick.

Eight left.

My guess

Exeter

Bristol City

Bristol Rovers

Cheltenham

Birmingham City

West Brom

Aston Villa

Derby

Sheffield United

Sheffileld Wednesday

Rotherham (Don Valley or Millmoor)

Doncaster

Darlington

Newcastle

Hearts

Hibs

Dundee

Dundee United

Arbroath

Stoke sure is NE of Birmingham.

forest and county, derby, donny, mansfield, sheff utd and weds, york, scunthorpe?

Villa, Derby, Leicester.

Longy gets Bristol Rovers, Derby, Rotherham and Arbroath.

Three left. (miscounted last time)

Gatso and Floppy draw blanks - still three left.

its NW, but the flipping journey takes 12 hours, Lord knows what route it takes

villa,berwick rangers,newcastle

It's quite a straight-ish route - that's why Gatso's guess of Arsenal was a bit optimistic, I don't care how good your eyesight is.

montrose

Scottish right?

Stirling?

Dumbarton?

St Johnstone?

how? I said derby after longy did so surely I can claim that mr lineker?

arsenal was because I still don't believe there's a direct train

ad010 (who has 100 posts but who I've never seen before) gets Montrose.

Two left.

Tighty closing his eyes and throwing three darts at the scottish league tables draws a blank.

Educated guess...up from Berwick into Edinburgh, head north and up through Dundee.....


Where is Scottish Dave when you need him?

BTW - you're still missing an English one.

Notts County?

raith rovers sruggling for last english 1

(http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/f/family_fortunes/bygraves_duhduhh.jpg)

brechin

Raith is right - one left.

Sunderland?

lol, i,m on a final table and i,m concentrating more on this quiz

(http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/f/family_fortunes/bygraves_duhduhh.jpg)

I accept, and thanks

Everyone given up?

can u recap the 19 we,ve got? save me going through al the post again ;)

I sure will.

personally I gave up ages ago

Last one is Burton Albion.

Tighty got the most so I guess he wins.

good thread - keep it up!

I thought burton were still conference so never getting that one even if I'd thought of them

Can you give a question thats not gonna take all night?

def baseball as it's just been dropped
maybe croquet which used to be in. same with roquet but I doubt that's still recognised

Yes, but that one is designed to take most of tomorrow too, by which time you'll all have other things on your mind


Here's a set of questions for you Girgy my useless friend


Bradford Park Avenue played at Horsfall Park until extinction, but what was unique about their ground at the time, and cannot be found now in any of the 93 league grounds?

Baseball is correct

No to Croquet

Cricket?

Off to google Basque Pelota.

Cricket is correct

polo

bradford park avenue's players are going to be pretty surprised when they read your post and find out about the club's extinction

lacrosse?

someone please start a facebook campaign to get underwater sports in the olympics

Polo is correct

BPA went extinct, them came back later.

Darts
Snooker

its good but its not right

Darts is wrong

So is Snooker, but very close to a correct answer

pool?
bar-billiards?

hmmm pool?

Billiards is correct, the two whites one red full table jobbie

1. How are there 93 league grounds?

2. Tug of war.

1 pedant


2 Correct



5 to find

rugby posts (girgy's question). only thing I know about bpa is they used to be a rugby team then switched code

Judo?
Handball?

No.

Synthetic pitch?

No

Of the remaining 5

1 is a cardgame

2 is a cerebral sport

the other three involve water, all threee with equipment (motorised or otherwise)

No.

Clue: The stadium, not the pitch

No floodlights?

No. Better clue: The stands

bridge, chess, fishing

I can remember being told that chess was actually a sport

Bridge and Chess correct

leaves three water based sports

They have got seats from lords cricket ground?

BPA

no seats?

Powerboating
Fishing
Jet Skiing

No, though the fact that Horsfall Park had a cricket pitch and a football pitch is the clue

does the centre circle have metal stakes round it with bits of blue rope between them to stop players running on the wicket?

waterskiing

Powerboating and Waterskiing are correct

one more answer needed



BPA had a double sided main stand, from which patrons could watch the football, and then cross to the other side and watch the cricket on identical seats facing the other way...much like the South Stand at Headingley allows the same for Cricket and Rugby League

Designed as such by Leitch, because BPA rented the football ground area from the Cricket club, and thus that design was a pre-condition of the football club putting stands up rather than Northampton used to do, three sides and an open fourth side onto the criocket, and was the case at Brammall Lane too until the mid 1970s

Good one!

wish i hadn't missed this question.

Is it Sailing

Zapcat racing ?

No.

No

freediving ?

No

Anyone reading this thread is actually doing this at the moment, and this in another context is an IOC recognised sport

Underwater breathing?

Water aerobics?

Surfing

Must be it, it fits with tighty's clue

Now I've realised what a stupid answer that is I would delete it, but can't in case someone has already read it and then grasses me up for deleting a retarded post.

correct


Girgy's question. This might be a good time to go offline

Ok here goes...

The FA Cup has had 4 trophys to date...

What year was the 3rd Trophy made, Where was it made and Who were the first team to win it?

i have a friend who is  bradford city fan and he has told me that they were the first team to win the 3rd FA Cup.

no idea who made it though...

correct

Sure wasn't expecting Bradford City to be part of the question and answer...

Good way to kill a thread Girgy, ask two impossible question unknowable unless you google, even once you know its Bradford....sigh. Lack of commonsenseaments


Lets get this thread back on track.....

11 teams have been runners up/losing finalists in the UEFA Champions League, or European Cup before that, more than once

One is virtually impossible to get, so please name the other ten, no googling

and a supplementary

What links a cricket bat, a tennis racket and a golf club?


The answer is not a sporting one

they have all got grips on the handles!

No. Yes, but not the answer required

Liverpool Milan Bayern Barca Juventus

Bayern Barca are educated guesses really - the other 3 should be on there.

correct

5 to get

I'm going to punt on:

Monaco
Dortmund
Real Madrid
Inter

Benfica are one because they lost loads of finals way back.

Ohhhh good shout Andrew.

I'm struggling now.

Ah Valencia!

Lost to Bayern and Real back to back this century.

Real Madrid, Inter, Valencia and Benfica correct



1 more to get. Think back a bit to a huge European team of the past, not the current decade

Muchengladbach?

No

Roma?

No

The team is not English, Italian, Spanish or German

That will get you thinking

Has to be ex Soviet then?

No

FML. Only French sides worth a shout are PSG and Marsielle.

Ajax?

correct


your turn

Shooting Tex!

lineker strikes again

Fred is dead!

You are not allowed to take them on an aircraft as hand luggage

Who was the one team that is impossible to get?

i have been smacked about by all three, but only two maliciously.

you could add a pool cue to that list as well :)

Stade Reims, from the late 50's.

Who has scored hatrick in all prem, div1,2,3?

Who has played in prem, div 1,2,3, champs league, uefa? (2 players)

Which player has had their name on FRONT and BACK of shirt?

gogoo

sorry if i ignored previous rules...but fuck it the Qs r good

you've kinda missed 1/2 the question. he's scored one in all 4 divisions, fa cup, league cup and internationally

lee sharpe had sharp on the front which is quite close. don't think they had names on their backs then though

Robert earnshaw, probably the most popular football quiz question of the last 5 years

sigh

and Who has played in prem, div 1,2,3, champs league, uefa? (2 players)

did you used to play for Liverpool?

Question for anybody interested.....(shouldnt need google)

In darts it is possible to finish a leg using only 9 darts, Who was the first televised 9 dart finish by, and can you name the year?

one of the two

Steve Finnan?

Good shout!

yes, and the other...

John Lowe

harper innit. they both also played in the conference, I remember watching finnan at welling, he was pretty good at that level

Correct do you know the year grandad?

Yup

Just to confirm - no way you can see Dundee and Dundee United's grounds whilst getting the train through Dundee.

84% sure
