    Evening Herald Quiz

    A question from the Herald alleged newspaper's recent big quiz. With thanks to Deco...

    Q18 - The film "Green Street" follows football hooligan fans of which team?

    A) Cardiff City
    B) Millwall
    C) West Ham United
    D) UCD

    Have a guess - one in three chance of being right!

    (It's West Ham, incidentally, featuring Frodo Baggins as apparently one of the least convincing people in a hooligan film ever!)

    An alternative title "The Boleyn Ground" probably doesn't have the same urban threat to it.

    Is our "hardcore" element chuffed at being mentioned or did both of them miss it?

    Yeah noticed that Dublin City even got a mention in this quiz, can't remember the number, was towards the end, you were asked for the club's nickname, also asked about which team was relegated through the playoff, there were a few eircom league questions in the 50. Not bad for a nothing league.

    A few years ago, there was a core of supporters who may have wished to get UCD on the front page of the newspapers. But obviously through both persuasion and mentoring they desisted.

    I suppose, at the old orchard it has always been more applecore than hardcore. < Cheeky Grin>

    Don't avoid the subject, how many questions did you get right?
