    It's scripted so I can't agree to it being a sport but it is entertaining

    I would dispute both descriptions :pac:

    I'm just looking for mediocrity as is customary for a Newcastle United fan.

    Jebus, I thought I had it bad as a Leeds fan. You poor b*st*rd. :D

    Only ever met one other Newcastle fan, and that was 20+ yesterday ago. Bit of a rarity in these parts.

    They're a bit of a rarity now, even in Newcastle!

    Is this the new way of saying 3 weeks ago?

    26 players as things stand

    Only 3 unidentified sports stars left - 1 famous and 2 obscure!

    16 incorrect answers so far including one person identified by 3 people as the wrong person!

    2 of the incorrect entries I had to google to make sure they were real people (they were!)

    I'm going to close entries Monday morning and set up a reveal thread.

    I might be travelling next week so the reveal will either be Monday afternoon starting at 2pm or later in the week

    Have a sinking feeling that I'm one of those 3 people, and 2-4 of those incorrect answers could also be me...

    That's fair. I'll be sticking with my original answers anyway... #NoRegrets

    I know nothing about Darts so pretty sure I just made up a name that sounds like someone who would play Darts and might be quite good at it.

    Know very little about GAA too, and am only 30% sure I gave the name of a real person, and about 2% certain that that person is actually one of the ones included.

    The other sports, I'm familiar with or at least familiar with people who play those sports, but am I confident that the names I've gone with in all of those categories are actually the people I think they are in the photos? The answer to that is a resounding no, I'm in no way confident...

    But all of that uncertainty is part of the fun, especially in this PEEHS as opposed to the album covers and tv shows ones which were much more in my wheelhouse.

    This is exactly how I felt in the TV shows one - I had to go with my toddler's shows as I don't watch much TV at all

    Music wise, I only got into the last one and despite listening to a huge amount of music I wouldn't be too familiar with album covers.

    If someone else ran the sport one I'd be all over it analysing what other people might pick (and still get it wrong!)

    haha this is me in a nutshell the gaa and darts ,spent the evening while stuck in the think of a gaa players name so hopefully that person is pictured ,i was surprised that i knew 3-4 dart players though:confused:
    I am still thinking of changing one answer as i think it might be right, but the answer i've given is also a good one i think unless they are both wrong:D
    the mind games arent helping here !!!

    That needs a friendly FG mod to do it.
    One will probably see this and do it for you :)
