Anyone know 93 ac? A ringmaster in short? You bet

Think i am right with B_o__e

Eire-Dearg

Can't figure it out and there's a few questions referring to it.

Can't get 'He hails from 90 down' either, someone from Kerry?

Cute Hoor

God be with the days when you had to work out these crosswords, last year I reckon all the answers were posted here (some of them several times), some lads/lassies were looking for answers to half the clues. This is a relatively easy straight forward one but to be fair ye are only looking for one answer each which is fair enough, if you pm me I will send it on.

31 across, I have Mary Davis, the Irish Special Olympics chief. I originally had ARCHERS for 11 down but changed to ARCHERY which fits with the Y in Mary.

Does anyone have 19 across: We saw through this Argentinian nightmare? L--s, it looks like loss but the reasoning is a bit vague if it's because we lost to Argentina in the rugby world cup.

Thanks for MARY. I also had ARCHERS so we concur. I've LENS for the other one. Ireland beaten by the Argies in World Cup game there. Makes sense as we look through LENS

Thanks Bazza1
I had Pullman thinking John Pullman (snooker player of old) and back row seat.
But now I agree with you and others regarding MCCOY for racer and Ken Earl. I will hold back on OSLO as I don't see the connection. Prhaps you could explain!!! Thks for help and good luck to all posters with your entries.

Toe to hand = solo [as in gaa terms], solo is an anagram of OSLO - the capital of norway

Hi Leitrim......the latter is Muldoon & 10D is Armenia in relation to Keith Faheys goal there last year.
The only difficulty I have at the min is 75D presuming that 85A is Noble and 91A is asal...........Its probably someone relatively famous but I'm just drawing a blank for the last hour.....! Thks

Drefus? assuming 72 down is 'oakley' this doesnt fit?? Also with 101d, does this mean that 97d is 'rovers'?

Thanks.

And 75D is not 'Brady' as its the one I'm struggling with at the minute. Any ideas?
...Yes 97D is Rovers. The 88A answer is just mispelt. Thks.

Eire-Dearg

*Dreyfus, sorry - the bird that owns Marseille.

I have Brady because Liam Brady's nickname is Chippy. 'Chippy's last' = Brady.

Thanks Steaf, i think 75 D is Brundle as in the F1 racer.

What do you have for 74 a it should be solo, but if Muldoon is 54d, then only Oslo will fit. What do you think. ?
