    Kicking off at 7pm this eve, the reveal!

    What is Heeps?

    Heeps is a version of Sheep, but instead of trying to figure out the most popular answer, you need to wrack your brain and think... what could be the second most popular answer?

    The most popular answer(s) to each question scores ZERO!!!

    So make sure to tune in from 7 when we will see agony

    But I WASN'T CRYING GUYS

    source.gif



    And of course we will see jubilation and pandemonium in the stands


    7xVH.gif



    And at the end of it all we will see someone lifting the Heeps Trophy

    Instead of sliced oranges at half time, I am getting sliced lemons prepped for full time to go with all the bitter sore losers when I win.

    I picked Liverpool once for each time they've won the European Cup

    I did the same for Arsenal ;)

    I was gonna Google to try and give myself some chance, but I would have had to for all 20 questions and that felt too much like hard work. So I entered and ended up Googlilng nothing. So my answers should ... interesting, considering how much I know about soccer. Last time I watched a game was USA 1994.

    You missed Ireland’s six World Cup triumphs in a row after that.

    Considering how the country lost its head when we got to the quarters in 90, I think I might have heard if we won it since :P

    Not confident at all


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,759 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Question 1: Name a winner of the English Premier League since its inception

    7 winners means 7 possible correct answers.

    BUT

    No incorrect answers in Heeps so you could have put Azerbaijan FC if you liked... not sure it would do too well though.

    Some of the answers selected...

    Question 1: Name a winner of the English Premier League since its inception

    Chelsea is a (somewhat) surprising Sheep here - a sign of things to come perhaps? :D

    United and Liverpool earn decent points for their respective selectors too.

    Question 2: Name a Premier League top goalscorer

    Terry Henry that Irish scamp :P tops the pile this time with 9 people picking Arsenal's record goalscorer.

    Alan Shearer bags some decent points for his 6 selectors, but the rest is a very very mixed bag.
