The popular weekly football quiz is back, with a new host.

Format


Each round will consist of 10 questions. Every round will have a different format or theme, which will be explained at the time, but all rounds will be football-related.


The questions will be posted on a Friday afternoon/evening, and answers must be in by midnight on the following Wednesday. Please send me the answers via a PM. The correct answers will be posted on Thursday/Friday, along with individual round scores and the overall leaderboard. Late entries will not be accepted - 5 whole days is plenty of time. There may, of course, be alterations to the schedule if I am unavailable, and you will be notified of these as early as possible


All questions will be posted on this thread.

There will be 20 rounds, similar to the first quiz.


I will endeavour to make at least some of the questions ungoogleable, but of course there will be questions which can be looked up. This is supposed to be a fun quiz of your footballing knowledge, so I would encourage you not to use any search engines or books to find the answers


Spelling is not generally important, and as long as the answer is understandable I will give you credit for it. If I require clarification I will PM you - the onus is on you to respond to this. There may be exceptions to this (eg a spelling round).<


Each answer will be worth one point unless stated otherwise.


Where the answer is a person's name, I am looking for a FULL NAME. Answers which only give a surname will only receive half a point


I will take the utmost care to ensure that my questions and answers are accurate, but inevitably something could slip through the net. If you dispute one of my answers and can provide a credible source, then I would look into it further. However, my decision is final.

">No sign-up is necessary. You do not have to answer every round, but you will have the best possible chance of winning the overall game if you do.


I will be deleting all PM's after the answer's are announced so send each week's in a seperate PM.


If you have any questions about the format or rules then you can PM me or post them on this thread.

[GingerSaint]

Only know one for definite and the rest are educated guesses. Not going to get more from mulling it over so sent them in now.

I would be very happy with 3/10.

[Cammy35]

PM sent. Only really confident of 1 or 2 but have made educated guesses for most and random guesses for the rest. Good quiz. Similar standard to CraigKillies in terms of difficulty.

Will now Google to see how I done.

Wrong order, fixed.

[Mr. Brightside]

I think I have 8, hopefully anyway.

[Virtual Insanity]

I like to think I know a fair bit about football but I feel like a total cretin here. Will have a go though.

[David W]

As defending champion I'd like to think I know a bit about football but this is tough!

[McKee]

Had to guess most of them.

[Virtual Insanity]

Googling reveals a grand total of 2, possibly a third that I can't Google.

[Bully Wee Villa]

Yikes.

[smpar]

Surprised I got 5 right, the name just came to me but I googled it after and it was right. My other guesses were pish though.

[Gretna Til They Die]

Five tops. Won't even google them cos it'll just be embarrassing.

[South Lanarkshire Jag]

I may have pitched this round at a little too difficult. But you all like a challenge

[craigkillie]

Good first round.

Checked the answers now and I think I got 6 right.

[The Minertaur]

Christ. I know maybe 2 or 3? Gonna need to take a lotta guesses!

Might have been more if you can read the questions correctly

[craigkillie]

To be honest, that answer was an educated guess anyway, and I'd probably have said the same even if I'd read it properly.

[forehead7]

Not confident of any I thought I had the Henry one sussed but then read it and realised you weren't asking for his first league goal since he returned

[Swampy]

I reckon I have four, would be very happy with five.

[yoda]

Confident of 5. Guessed the other five.

[morrison]

That was awful. Good round, I'm just a bit retarded. If I have any right I'll be chuffed, but it's entirely guesswork.

[C. Muir]

Knew five, guessed the rest

a little bump. Just over 24 hours to get your answers in

[Cammy35]

After checking my answers I think I am on for 1/10 here.
