Dundalk????

Bari, Italy. Awful game from what I remember, Red Star with that Milosevic bástard just played for pens.

You got both right. Dundalk were the only team to beat us in the league that season, 0:2 up there. We didn't mind too much, as we had already won the league, and we would have far more important things to worry about a few weeks later. :mad:

Bari was the city to host that European Cup final in 1991. It was one of the worst ever, as practically nothing happened until Red Star Belgrade (Prosinecki & co.) won on penalties against Chris Waddle's Marseille. Red Star played their home European Cup games in Austria the following season due to the Balkan war.

What English clubs did John Coady, and Mick Byrne join after playing for Rovers?
Which team did Liverpool beat in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in 1989? (The match before Hillsborough)

Hull? Or maybe Brentford? Whichever one is nicknamed the Bees.

Actually, Hull are the Tigers I think, so Brentford.

Who (and when) was the last team to win the Champions League / European Cup with a squad made up of players only from their own association (ie no foreign players) ?

Dont think there has been any since Celtic

[Plastic Paddy]

Dont think there has been any since Celtic

Spot on. In fact, all the Celtic players in the 1967 European Cup final were all born within 30 miles of Paradise. :)

:D PP

[lopez]

Dont think there has been any since CelticSteaua Bucharest, 1986. Also, possibly Red Star Belgrade in 1991.

[Closed Account 2]

Yeah i had it as Red Star in 91, as technically all of their players were Yugoslavs until around 1992. Then Yugoslavia was kicked out of UEFA, Denmark replaced them at short notice for Sweden/Euro 92 (they went on to win it).

Doubt it will happen again.

[pineapple stu]

Name three countries who have changed their name since playing in the World Cup?

This does not include the likes of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, as they are technically different countries with different borders.

[$Leon$]

1 - Dutch East Indies
2 - USSR
3 - Zaire

[pineapple stu]

1 - Yes (impressive! Then the Netherlands Antilles when they played in 1934)
2 - No (USSR and Russia aren't the same country)
3 - Yes (now DR Congo)

One more to get...

[Kingdom]

I'm not too sure about this question esp when you've ruled out the likes of West Germany/Germany

[Bluebeard]

1 - Yes (impressive! Then the Netherlands Antilles when they played in 1934)
2 - No (USSR and Russia aren't the same country)
3 - Yes (now DR Congo)

Yugoslavia, now Serbia and Montenegro? Dunno if this fits, as the place has changed radically in size, etc.

[pineapple stu]

Correct. When Yugoslavia split, there was still a country called Yugoslavia, which qualified for France '98. That's now called Serbia and Montenegro.

[Kingdom]

Stupid question - the area of Yugoslavia concerned has changed.

[pineapple stu]

Stupid question - the area of Yugoslavia concerned has changed.
No it hasn't. There were two entities called Yugoslavia. When the old Yugoslavia broke up, new states were formed - Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Yugoslavia. This new Yugoslavia were in the '98 World Cup, and have now changed their name.

Not that hard! ;)

ooooooooooooooooooooh sorrrrrrrrrrrry then ;)

I asked that to a Liverpool fan a while ago, and after 5 clues, he still couldn't get it!! It was Brentford. Liverpool won at home 4-0.

[Aldini98]

Who is the only player to play in the World Cup finals for two different countries?

[Pat O' Banton]

Who is the only player to play in the World Cup finals for two different countries?

Oooo I think its Di Stefano (Argentina/Spain) or failing that Puskas (Hungery/Spain) ?

[lopez]

Oooo I think its Di Stefano (Argentina/Spain) or failing that Puskas (Hungery/Spain) ?I think neither played in a WC. Might be one of those Italian-Argentinians from 1934 that played in the final against Uruguay in 1930?

[Aldini98]

No, No and eh, no :)

[Pat O' Banton]

Robert Prosinetski (or a similar spelling) - Yugoslavia and Croatia?

[lopez]

No, No and eh, no :)Er, yes yes and yes. Luis Monti World Cup loser 1930 for Argentina. Luis Monti World Cup winner 1934 for Italy. :p See also http://www.soccersaints.com/leg35.htm. ;)

Fair enough, the one I was looking for was Robert Proseniki, Yugoslavia and Croatia.

[davey]

The 'Pool beat Dinemo Bucherest and my work mate here reckons Roma beat Dundee United......?

Spot on mate. Would have been an all British final if there hadn't been some disgraceful reffing and very intimidating atmosphere at the secong leg in Rome. Dundee Utd won first leg 2-0 but went down 3-0 in the Olympic stadium

[lopez]

Fair enough, the one I was looking for was Robert Proseniki, Yugoslavia and Croatia.Us old timers remember Luis very well. :D Mind you, surely there are others like Prosi and not just Yugoslavia? Soviet Union and Russia etc.

[Aldini98]

Great, in relation to my earlier question, it should have been who is the only player to have scored in two World Cup finals for two different countries. Sorry about that people.

Name the 2 Premiership players that have scored in the League this season that have the same letters and same number of letters in their surname but not the same name?

Wasnt it the Serbian guy Miro Djukic ? I seem to remember Bebeto realising the importance of it, declined to take it.

[monutdfc]

sorry, just spotted Dick's reply

[town73]

Just heard a good one on Today FM:- which Irish player has scored the most goals in the Englaish Premiership?
I don't know the answer, I'd hazard a guess at one of the Keane's.


Robbie Keane and Niall Quinn have both scored 58.
