I won the county in that underage years ago.
Itâs not too bad, itâs the same format every year and the same type of questions do come up.
But the standard of those Monaleen fellas is ridiculous, rarely get more than a few wrong.
Is there a heavy GAA slant? Would you need a few old timers with good GAA knowledge?
I think itâs usually a round for football, a round for hurling and a round in Irish which often has GAA questions. Iâve never found them that difficult really, weâd generally do pretty well in those round, but he loves his questions about the names of different trophies and for what competition theyâre given out.
The only Irish question I could answer were those ones in the leaving cert, where you identify an unusual looking word in the question, then find it in the passage of text and rewrite the whole paragraph as your answer

Thatâs the format.
The Irish questions are generally quite easy, very basic. If you have even one member of your team who has a reasonable standard, you should get most of them.
The Irish culture ones are the ones I find hardest, last time he played a CD and you had to identify the singer/musician.
Ya it is
Iâm seriously considering giving up this âdoingâ table quiz lark. Last night I did one for a very ill young girl and got my balls chewed off by almost every table over 1 question.
I threw in a few curve-ball ones, the usual oulâ shite ones like âhow many of each animal did Moses take in the arkâ and these swam through handy enough until I popped the "what was the Irish soccer managers name in 1990"
Fair enough as 3 out of 24 tables got it right but fuck me the other 21 cunts went ape-shit on me. I rode it out though and responded at the end of the last round by promising a bottle of whiskey for the table that could name the nearest capital city to AustraliaâŚI had a dose of the sweats fearing 1 of these know-all cunts would get it but noâŚI escaped handily enough.
A nice bottle of Crested Ten was presented to me all the sameâŚslurp slurpâŚ

Is it a trick question?
Ah, I get it now, bit of a cunt of a question though. Even if it was phrased, âwhat was the name of the Irish soccer manager in 1990?â the same trick applies.
No, the answer is Martin OâNeill but the apes went with Big Jack. Itâs what was his name not who was the manager.

Here, I thought you lads were the Kings of the West Limerick quiz scene. Weâd suck yeâ in and spit you out if yeâre panicking over this one.
Youâd be pulled out over the table and fucked into the River Deel if you tried a question like that.

Noted.
Fuckacting of the highest order. Almost worse than a true or false round of off the fucking wall questions like âTrue or False: a lobsters tear ducts are located on its anusâ. Fuck the fuck off.
