Nope, Italy's first foray into the World Cup when they beat the US 7-1 on their way to winning the trophy on home soil in 1934. They also won in 1938 and due to the war they didn't lose a World Cup game until 1950.

I'm taking a right bloody shot in the dark here, but, I think it was Yugoslavia.

[Badweather Fan]

I know only a couple of countries made the 3 month(?) boat trip, Yugoslavia, Spain and probably Hungary went with the British teams but i'll guess at France.

Guessing but did Paul Byrne play for Cork City?

You're obviously starting to get into trouble already, and seeing as you're from Limerick and not Cork, I'll give you a clue. The aftermath became known as the "Hampden Park Riot", only one of the most famous riots in the history of British soccer.

[sadloserkid]

Was it in 1909??? :confused: If so I'm confused. Didn't Cork City form in 1985? :confused:

No to both. City were formed in 1984. Seeing as your hopelessly stumped, here's the last clue I'm going to dish out. The year, unless I'm very much mistaken, was 1980.

Celtic won 1-0. McCluskey? :confused:

No, but, Celtic DID beat Rangers 1-0. F**k it, I can't make it any easier than that, even if you're not a Corkman.:)

Well that's what it said on the fU*king Scottish FA Website!!! Are you sure you're right??? :D

Language, language.:) As I say I'm NOT entirely sure of the year, but, I AM sure of the goalscorer and the fact that he went on to play with City. Hell, he even played in City's record League win in the early 90's (7-1 v Limerick at Rathbane:D ).

Following the confusion regarding the answer to the above question, which I believe to be Mick Conroy, I've decided to pose a different, and less ambiguous, question:
Two of Turkish football's Big 3 come from the European side of Istanbul, name the team who comes from the Asian side?

[eoinh]

Fenerbahce!

[sadloserkid]

And your question eoin?

Well done, once again, eoinh.:rolleyes: Now go ahead and post your own question.

[eoinh]

Ireland have played two full internationals in Cork.

Name the locations and the opponents ?

Flower Lodge versus Spain for the Cork 800 was one (I have the official math programme), haven't a clue about the other. Going back at least 4 decades, I presume.

[eoinh]

yeah, Flower Lodge and Spain is Right.

who else did Ireland play in Cork and where anyone.

[pineapple stu]

Was there a match against Hungary? Wild guess. Venue - I don't know - the Mardyke?

I presume the Flower Lodge one was the 1984 game? Just so that doesn't turn out to be the answer!

Correct! I think the match against Hungary was irelands last before the second world war.

BTW shedend john theres a picture of the Hungary match in the Ireland v Spain match. i have that programme too ;)

[pineapple stu]

Did I get the venue right?

Bugger...this means I have to come up with a question now...I'll be back later!:D

[eoinh]

Originally posted by pineapple stu

Yeah, you got the venue right too.

[pineapple stu]

Right, here we go -

Same idea as the previous question. Ireland have played two senior internationals in Tolka. When, against which country (it was the same country) and what were the scores?

I will say that the only way I came across this was checking up on the answer to the previous question (after I'd gotten it right!:) ) and probably wouldn't have gotten both otherwise. However, we're not talking obscure 1920s friendlies.

No s**t!! Bet there can't be too many copies of that programme left around. Especially not in the nearly new condition mine is in.;)

This is getting really strange. I actually would like to know how many people still have that programme, though. Maybe we could set up the foot.ie programme collectors club.;)
