Who is the US ambassador to Ireland?
How many winners did Willie Mullins have at Cheltenham recently?

Teeje?

I didn’t see him. Didn’t see any of the big county board fellas either; they were at the one in Claughaun last year alright. Must have been poorly advertised though, much smaller turnout.

Or else people couldn’t Castlemahon or couldn’t be bothered finding it.

US ambassador to Ireland is O’Malley - he was only appointed before Xmas iirc. Rooney was his predecessor
 Great Questions
 I thought the scor quizzes were still one by one in front of the mike - or have things changed?

I’m actually not sure. I’ve only been doing them for a few years; I did the Scór na nÓg about 8 or 9 years ago at this stage and that was one-by-one in front of the mic alright, but maybe the senior quiz was different?

Most of the questions were grand, yeah, there were a few dodgy ones which I didn’t like though.

What date is the International Rules on in 2015? I think ones asking specific dates are shit unless it’s a very significant date.
In hurling, how many players can you bring on as a sub for black card offences? This was a shocker, everyone assumed it was a trick question but he had the answer as 3. Obviously after everyone complained, he ended up giving a mark to everyone.

The rest were mostly grand although he always loves asking who’s the head of different unions/organisations which is fair enough, but I rarely have a clue. But I suppose with a 100 questions, you’re always likely to have 1 or 2 dodgy ones. He does a good job tbf to him.

Between @Bean[/USER] , [USER=1786]@TreatyStones[/USER] and [USER=332]@Julio Geordio ye got most of these right.

What year did Kerry last do the treble in football; winning senior, U-21 and minor All-Irelands? 1975. Got this wrong, didn’t have time to think really, ended up saying 2014, couldn’t remember who had won U-21.
By what name was the hurler who was born Martin Charles Reddington better known? Tony Reddin. A good question, got it right.
Which county won the most hurling All-Stars in 2014? Tipperary. They got one more than Kilkenny
CĂ© a bhuaigh Corn Mhic GiobĂșin le dĂ©anaĂ­? Ollscoil LuimnĂ­. We got 10/10 in the Irish round, they were very very easy questions once you understood them.
Two Tipp men are believed to have fired the first shots of the War of Independence; Dan Breen and which other man? SeĂĄn Treacy. We did well in Irish history too, a good question though.
Who was Charles Haughey’s father-in-law? Seán Lemass. A handy one by any standard
Syria gained independence from which country in 1944? France. Got this one wrong, the only one we got wrong in the round, bit annoying.
What is Ireland’s Eurovision entry for 2015? Name either singer or song title. None of ye have got this yet
 anyone know? We got it wrong.
Who is the US ambassador to Ireland? Kevin O’Malley. We couldn’t think of his name either.
How many winners did Willie Mullins have at Cheltenham recently? 8. Got that one right
What is the largest country in Central America? Nicaragua. Got this one wrong, said Guatemala, poor one to get wrong.

Eurovision entry is a young girl from Nenagh
 Molly something or other
 her surname is slightly unusual something in my head says Powell but I am probably wrong on that one
 some great questions there
 The Kerry treble and Nicaragua would also have gotten me
 I would have said Mexico tbh

Is this the fucking mastermind thread?

She is from Puckane

TJ ‘whacker’ Ryan :smiley:

You stupid cunt. How the fuck is Mexico central America?

Shares her surname with a current Liverpool footballer.

Skertel.

Moreno ? Lallana ?

THink I won a county underage in that decades ago.

Leave Teage alone
