Good players who simply weren’t adored. We’ve decided to pick an Irish XI from the last couple of decades, with players we just don’t feel got the recognition they probably deserved. Dean Kiely 11 caps, 1999-2008 Dean Kiely was with the Irish set-up for nine years but only made 11 appearances, which is a testament […]

The American championships are fairly stacked this year. Some of the divisional championships have already started and by July 1 every squad will be confirmed for the year. With Galway, Clare and Waterford among the counties to have their summers ended prematurely, that opened the door for their players to head to the states for […]

You love the local game, right? The SSE Airtricity League is back in full swing tonight with it being Friday so we thought we’d cobble together a quiz on it. Your simple mission is to name all 20 clubs that span across the two divisions before your time runs out. Oh and while you’re here, […]

Beat the clock and name the Mayo team from the 2017 final. It was more heartbreak for the men from Mayo as they lost to Dublin in the All-Ireland Football final back in September. Can you name the starting fifteen who went so close to ending the long wait for Sam?

The day the west truly awoke. An All-Ireland final where Galway hadn’t won it in 29 years against a Waterford side that hadn’t won it in 58 years clashed at Croke Park. Galway ended years of hurt and landed the Liam McCarthy Cup for only the 5th time in their history. Can you beat the […]

It was the Heineken, but now the Champions Cup. There have been 22 winners of the European Cup in rugby since its first year way back in 1996, but can you name all the winners? We’ve given you a clue by giving you the country of the winning club. Rugby experts will be expected to […]

We’ll even throw in a clue for each one. From January 2017 right up to November just passed, we have had eight winners of the Barclays Premier League Player of the Month award. We want you to name each one in a specified time frame, but we are not complete monsters and we have even […]

Beat the clock and name Dublin’s starting lineup v Mayo back in September. It seems a long time ago now, but Dublin clinched three-in-a-row beating Mayo in a pulsating final back in September. Against the pressure of a ticking clock, can you name the team that started for Dublin that day?

Get your Uncle Sam on right here. We are about to enter week 14 of the NFL and things are starting to take shape ahead of Super Bowl LII in Minnesota on Feb 4 2018. The sport is increasing in popularity year on year and we wanted to know how well you know the NFL. Enough to […]

When you don’t fancy Russia, always look back. Yeah, so we didn’t qualify for Russia in 2018, but so what?! You think the whole world revolves around the World Cup? Well, yeah, actually it does. That’s not the point. We’re not sure what is to be honest, but hey, how good is your World Cup […]

It’s almost time for the FA Cup to come along and ruin everyone’s weekend. We’ll get a couple of decent clashes, we’ll get terrestrial TV broadcasts and we’ll rediscover the magic of the cup. By and large though, it will be a pain in the hole and we’ll be left pining for the league again. […]

All about beating that clock. This is a very easy quiz. You have no excuses. Even with the tick-tock of the rapidly decreasing time on the clock, you should get full marks.

Resisted the temptation to call it the T-break quiz. 20 clubs in the Premier League, but 16 of them contain the letter ‘T’. Can you name all 16 in less than three minutes?

This should be a walk in the park. Apart from the League of Ireland, there is no football to be had anywhere. Don’t mention the snore-fest that is the Confederations Cup. We thought we’d challenge your knowledge on all the domestic league winners around Europe. There are 18 countries but can you name the respective […]

This will sort the men from the boys. Since 2003, there have been ten different All-Ireland winning captains. Some of these have been lucky enough to have lifted Sam more than once. However, under the stress of a ticking clock, can you name the last 10 DIFFERENT captains?

Not as easy as it sounds. We have had 31 goals from 12 different scorers in 21 competitive matches for Ireland under Martin O’Neill. Some of these will be easy, of course, but there might be one or two which will trip you up (especially when that clock is ticking).

His 28 goals this season have come against 14 different clubs. Zlatan Ibrahmovic has been a resounding success at Manchester United. Past it they said, over the hill they said, he won’t cope with the pace they said. Nonsense. To date, Zlatan has banged in 28 goals in all competitions for Manchester United this season […]

Twelve Irish men went Down Under in 2013. Warren Gatland named 11 Irish players in his British and Irish Lions squad to take on the mighty All Blacks this summer. Back in 2013, 12 Irish players were selected for the successful series against Australia, but can you name them in under three minutes?

Yes, it’s as tricky as it seems. We are not asking for the winners from the last 12 years because some golfers have won it more than once. We are, however, looking for the last 12 different winners of the Augusta showpiece event.

Not as easy as it sounds. Dublin made history on Saturday night with their win in Croke Park on Saturday night. It was a record-breaking 35th match without loss and broke a record which has stood nearly 90 years. Dublin have faced up to 16 different counties on that run. Can you name them all […]

Who donned the green in France in the summer of 2016? It seems like a lifetime ago now, but we’ll all remember the summer of 2016 with fond memories as our lads took on Europe’s best at Euro2016 in France. So, this shouldn’t be a problem then should it?
