    Thanks this week go to $hifty for the questions.




    The point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.



    Try to think of the most popular answer.




    If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!



    Write your answers like this...

    Do not repeat the questions, no full-stops at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.



    JUST LIKE THIS:

    1. Dr Maria O' Brien
    2. Kathy Wells
    3. XXXX

    Those who don't reply like this will be ignored.


    The game will end when we have 40 entrants or after 5 days, whichever comes first.


    Please, no full-stops after the answers and put a space in between the 1. and the answer ok?



    1. Name a famous football stadium outside of Ireland and UK.

    2. Name a Sport in which the participants do not wear any footwear.

    3. Name a famous racehorse (living or deceased).

    4. Name a European provincial Rugby team (excluding the Irish ones).

    5. Name a sport in which there are only 2 players per team.

    6. Name the most famous Irish sportsperson of all time (living or deceased). (this will be a matter of opinion but try to guess who you think everyone else will pick, should be interesting)

    7. Name a sport which has more than one referee on the field at all times (linesmen in Soccer don't count).

    8. Name a sportsperson famous for being banned for taking drugs.

    9. Other than Lance Armstrong OR any Irish cyclists, name somebody who has won the Tour de France.

    10. Name a League of Ireland 1st division soccer side (not the premier division).

    7.

    Actually 2nd...I got there first :D


    Question 6 is going to get a lot of interesting answers I think. I put down who I think is the most famous Irish sportsstar in the world. I'm sure that some will give replies that they think are famous but aren't known outside of their village :p

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Most of those questions were ok, but I couldn't think of anything for Q.7! Ended up with a fairly obscure answer.

    Yeah probably. I usually wait until I don't get a PM for 24 hours before closing it.

    PM sent. Thanx


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,911 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    Answers done!

    Just waiting on a PM from Zane Obnoxious Guava (who set the questions) to decide if it's a tie or if we have one clear winner, depending on how a certain answer is classed.




  • Just to let you know, i've pm'd Ponster with my "decision" :P and will post my reasoning up here if people wish.
