Hard to guess without knowing how many letters!

The potter is presumably a Stoke player (Whelan, Walters?)

ballalley · 28-12-2016 4:51pm

93a second
42d Jon Walters

ballalley · 28-12-2016 4:53pm

Glenn Whelan...25 and 97

ballalley · 28-12-2016 4:57pm

Orlando...87a A Lord on the pitch....anagram of a lord.

I've put in STONES as if you put City in clue instead of Chelsea it's the only answer that makes sense. May be an error with the clue

juniorBman · 29-12-2016 10:21am

I'm stuck with a few:

11A These are even for the headstrong - H?L?E?S
28A Claudia or Nicolas? Footballers, with no iris perhaps - O????I I presume t's an anagram of "noiris" but stuck to get anything to fit.
34A The kind of catch that's not good - ?R?P?E? Is this "DROPPED"?
38A Denis was a rebellious Red - I?O??
21D One short of a poker - T???L??
47A A score in Australia is not one here - U??E
55A Go for a round here in the second city - ??H?N MAHON??
55D He lives in Meath and sounds like it too - ??A?E

TRIPLET fits

darkey · 30-12-2016 7:01pm

is it triplet or triples?

brian_t · 30-12-2016 7:37pm

darkey wrote: »

I don't play poker so I don't know but...

Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks - for example 7-7-7-10-6. This is sometimes known as a triplet or trips.

54A Cannot figure this out. Are the dutch the new black????. Is it Orange.

dxhound2005 · 31-12-2016 5:54pm

Yes, Orange.

The Netflix series is called "Orange is the New Black" because it is based off of a memoir by Piper Kerman called Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison. As the other answers have said, "the new black" is an idiom of sorts in fashion, because wearing black is fashionable (black goes with everything).

leitrimexile · 01-01-2017 2:15pm

dxhound2005 · 01-01-2017 3:01pm

It could be Michael Ryan, the Tipperary hurling manager, with Tipp being known as the Premier County.

leitrimexile · 01-01-2017 3:24pm

Evening,

Just need one more answer to finish this off.

71 A (Keep this warm until you're needed)

Thought it was "tenth" then seen there's a cycling term called "senth"

If anyone needs solutions I'll throw them out don't hesitate to ask

Thanks in advance!
