Since their promotion to the Premiership in 1993, How many seasons has the Premiership game between Liverpool-Newcastle being played at Anfield first, before the return game in Newcastle?

When was the first Monday Night Premiership game shown live at Anfield, by Sky?

Kerry Blue got it right. Since Newcastle's promotion to the Premiership in 1993, the Liverpool-Newcastle fixture has only been played at Anfield twice before the return game in Newcastle. The seasons were 2002/03, and 2004/05. There was another season when it was scheduled to be at Anfield in 1997/98, but as Princess Diana was killed on the day of the game, the game was postponed until after the two teams played each other in Newcastle.

The first Monday Night Football Premiership game shown by Sky at Anfield, was Liverpool-Arsenal on the first Monday of the 1996/97 season. Liverpool won 2-0. There were Monday Night Football Premiership games from Anfield shown before then, but the games were played on a different night in the week.

Who won the first FAI Senior International Player of the Year Award in 1989?

When was the last European Cup final not shown live on British tv?

Don't know those ones but here's a good one...

Prior to Hampden in 2002 what was the last Scottish ground to host a major European Final? When was it played? And who were the participants?

Prior to Hampden in 2002 what was the last Scottish ground to host a major European Final? When was it played? And who were the participants?1976 European Cup, Hampden Park, Bayern v St Ettienne?

[Aberdonian Stu]

Nope, more recent and not Hampden.

[Sheridan]

Here's a good one that just occurred to me. I shall be exceedingly impressed if anyone answers it correctly (I assure you, however, that a valid answer does exist.)

Who made three (senior) international débuts, and scored hat-tricks on two of them?

[lopez]

Here's a good one that just occurred to me. I shall be exceedingly impressed if anyone answers it correctly (I assure you, however, that a valid answer does exist.)

Who made three (senior) international débuts, and scored hat-tricks on two of them?Alfredo Di Stefano. 3 against Holland for Spain in January 1957.:cool: Also played for Argentina and Columbia (in unofficial internationals). I'd put money on he scored three in at least one of those games. :)

Alfredo Di Stefano. 3 against Holland for Spain in January 1957.:cool: Also played for Argentina and Columbia (in unofficial internationals). I'd put money on he scored three in at least one of those games. :)
Good effort, but incorrect. Di Stefano never played an officially recognised international for Colombia.

Couple of hints - of the three nations this player represented, one was later subsumed into another, which no longer exists. And it's not the USSR.

Is it Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia, Yugoslavia.

Answer - Dejan Savicevic

PS Di Stefano was capped three times for Colombia. He played for Argentina and Spain also.

[Aldini98]

Answer - Dejan Savicevic

Great shout if youre right. Always a fan of Dejan, smashin' player for Milan.

[Aldini98]

Gareth Southgate
Graham Stuart
Nigel Martyn

Kevin Campbell
Alan Shearer
Ryan Giggs

Darren Anderton
Gary Speed
Jason Dodd

Actually, there are 12 players who appeared on the opening day of the Premiership season in
1992 and are still playing for Premiership clubs are Kevin Campbell, Nigel
Martyn, Gareth Southgate, Alan Shearer, Graham Stuart, Jason Dodd, Darren
Anderton, Gary Speed, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, David James and Steve
McManaman.

Thank You.

[Sheridan]

Is it Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia, Yugoslavia.

Answer - Dejan Savicevic
Another good effort (although Serbia has never competed at full international level as a separate entity from Yugoslavia or SCG, at least not in Savicevic's lifetime), but unfortunately also incorrect.

One last clue before I reveal the answer; he died in 2001.


PS Di Stefano was capped three times for Colombia. He played for Argentina and Spain also.
He actually made four appearance for Colombia, during the country's exile from FIFA. None of these games are acknowledged as full internationals.

[Glapots]

Rather than do a weekly question, i reckon maybe if we all try and catch each other out. When u want to answer a Q, quote the question, along with the answer and then fill in a new question yourself.

Ill get the ball rolling with an easy one:

Name the 2 players to have won the Premiership, Champions League , and the European Championship.


Larent Blanc won all three I think

[stojkovic]

LADISLAO KUBALA played for Czechoslavakia, Hungary and Spain. Excellent player starred for Barcelona in the early sixties. Died in 2002.

[Sheridan]

LADISLAO KUBALA played for Czechoslavakia, Hungary and Spain. Excellent player starred for Barcelona in the early sixties. Died in 2002.
Excellent answer! But wrong (Kubala didn't manage a goal on any of his international débuts, let alone a hat-trick.) Incidentally, I was privileged to correspond with a former friend and team-mate of Kubala a few years back. A more interesting question with the answer "Ladislav Kubala" might have been; which player represented three different countries under three different names? His first name was rendered Ladislav in Czechoslovakia, Lászlo in Hungary, and Ladislao in Spain.

You got one of the countries right, though. The player in question did indeed line out for Czechoslovakia, and was a contemporary of Kubala's towards the end of his career.

Alright, I'll put you out of your misery. The correct answer is.....


Josef Bican (1913-2001.) Represented his native Austria, Bohemia/Moravia (hat-trick on début, and solitary appearance, against Germany) and Czechoslovakia (scoring thrice in a 6-2 début win over Sweden.) Quite a star in his day, European top-scorer five seasons in a row between 1939 and 1944, but somewhat forgotten today.

[stojkovic]

Excellent question.

Yeah I thought of places like Bohemia, Silesia, Slovenia etc etc but couldnt think of any players.

Betwen 1939-44, well I'd say he was, maybe its because he may have been the only one playing at that time, a certain World War was on I believe.

[Sheridan]

Lose the British blinkers there, pal, many league across Europe continued uninterrupted throughout the war. Bican's club Slavia Prague (Mitropa Cup winners and therefore de facto European champions in 1938) played in the Czech league, one of the continent's strongest at the time. In those five seasons, he scored 174 league goals, including 57 (!) in 1943/44.

[stojkovic]

And the winners of the German League in 1940/41 was RAPID VIENNA.

[lopez]

Whats your fcuking problem ?

[Aldini98]

Whats your fcuking problem ?

Don't get him started, avoid the subject of Real Madrid :)

[Ambaiste!]

Here's a tough one:

Name five Premiership players who have played for England in the last five years whose names start and end with the same letter.

eg Noel johnsoN (not one of the answers, just givin ye an idea of what i mean)

Robbie Fowler
Nigel Martyn
Shaun Wright Phillips

[Aldini98]

Ugo Ehiogu
Ray Parlour are the other two.

[Kingdom]

I thought of Ugo but I wasn't sure of his surname.

Parlour I just wouldn't have got.

[Ambaiste!]

Nice one gents!

That kept me going for months - I'm obviously well out of my depth!! :D

[lopez]

Whats your fcuking problem ?Have we had a sense of humour by-pass operation lately? I was agreeing with you about the question and that it seems a bit strange to compliment someone on this board with all the flame wars. A clue to this was the wink at the end. As for having a 'fcuking problem', I think you should ask yourself that one. BTW: Enjoy your friendship with your new found friend, Spelldini.

Don't get him started, avoid the subject of Real Madrid :)Bunking off school, Spells? Have you managed to find the spelling for the word fashist, (note to Stojkovic: I'm deliberately spelling it wrong here, OK) Or what country Barcelona is in? :rolleyes:

That's fair enough.
I was only asking.
You're response was a bit sarcie.

PS Did you and Aldini fall out ?

[lopez]

PS Did you and Aldini fall out ?Apologies for the heavy response and all offence taken back.

As for me and the six year old? Well he previously called me a fascist (which he couldn't spell) and a Real Madrid supporter - neither of which IMO are true - and insinuated that Davros (RIP) was a peedafile for suggesting the '98' in his name indicated the year he was born.:D This however will be my last word on him as when he kicks off, threads get shut down, which in this case would be a total shame.

You may find all of the above is untrue.
I'm not gonna get into any of this, I was only joking as the :) after my comment would suggest.

On 9th February 1991, most of the day's league games were postponed in the 4 divisions in England, because of snow. How many games were played?

In 1991, Ashtownvilla travelled to Dundalk, in the 4th round, and won in extra time. They went up to Derry in the next round, and won 2-1. They went out in the next round, the quarter-finals, to Kilkenny City.

5 games survived the weather that weekend in all 4 English divisions. 3 were played in the 1st Division, (including a Merseyside Derby), and 2 in the lower divisions. It set a record for the least number of games played in England that weekend in February 1991, a record that still stands today.

Against which team, and when, did San Marino collect their first point, in a qualifying campaign?

Where did the Faroe Islands play their home games during their qualifying campaign for Euro '92? Why?

[JC_GUFC]

Sweden, because they only had plastic pitches in the Faroes at the time - in their first ever competitive game they beat Austria 1-0!

San Marino's first point was a 0-0 draw against Turkey for the 94 WC qualifiers.

Who did they get their only other competitive point against to date and in their history how many full internationals have they won?

[Poor Student]

Has Bergkamp? I know he has 100 Arsenal goals anyway. Michael Owen has I think.
