[gustavo]

theyve both never won it ?! :D

[Aldini98]

Oh the question, dunno :)

[mypost]

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

Got it. It's one of the most famous penalty misses over 90 mins, in recent European football history, considering the circumstances. Barcelona won the league for having a better head-to-head record against Coruna that season. Barcelona have only won the league twice since.

Cymbram was the answer to the Cork question. Cork were 3 down in the away leg after half an hour, and did well to go through with a late goal at home.

In the European Cup/Champions League what do Linfield and Arsenal have in common?


Correct answer is while both have reached the quarter finals neither side has ever gone further.

Also acceptable would have been that some fans of both clubs have the ridiculous idea that they are one of Europe's top sides. :D :D

[mypost]

If memory serves me correctly it was 1981/82. :)

:D PP

Your memory serves you correct.

Longfordian got the Galway answer. Monaghan turned up for the game 15 minutes before the kick-off time, as their coach was delayed in traffic. With no time for a pre match warm-up or a detailed team talk, the roof fell in. Galway won 8-0.

heres a question:
why do corinthians of brazil wear white?

They wear white because they were formed by English touring side Corinthian-Casuals back in the early 1900s, and they wore an all white kit. Their all white kit was also adopted by a famous Spanish side in 1902!

Question:
How did Gary Croft make history by playing for Ipswich Town against Swindon Town on January 15th, 2000?

He was the first person to play with an electronic band on him. It was coz he got an early release from jail (think it was drink driving or something) but he had to wear the tag as part of the terms of his early release. He got some stick off the Swindon fans from what I remember too.

[mypost]

Stapleton? (Arsenal and United)?
