I'll create a quiz for the next round and post it tomorrow. Sadly, I've got a phone interview at 10am. I've kinda got used to not working. Hard lines in the cup, Cardi. I noticed The Scotsman/inews has an extensive quiz section: https://inews.co.uk/distractions/quizzes/ I tried their most recent weekly quiz and it has a very similar format to the aussie one - with the added 'bonus' of ranking each answer based on popularity. Could maybe be useful for a cup round or so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already started doing a quiz for tomorrow, but I'll bear it mind for future cup ties - especially ones that I'm still involved. Don't forget to give me your specialised subject for the next round of the quiz. Dying to know what it might be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I can't remember if I'm in. If I am, what am in an expert in? I'll choose the Sex Pistols, only because I've just read Johnny Rotten's autobiography so hopefully some of it will have stuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Should not have played the first team squad in that meaningless Monday quiz that didn't count friendly as look what happened - 2/10. Absolute or maybe it was Absolut shambles of a performance. Knew them both though, award winner and Roman god. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=6003§ionId=1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Possible Cup questions for His Eminence. Keeping in m ind that you might be a working Bohemian soon, what is the connection between Bohemians Prague football club and Australia? Or Aussie sport but maybe easier than Blackislekillie's excellent suggestion, which former Albion Rovers stalwart took the Matildas to the World Cup Quarter Finals not once but twice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBo10 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 5/10 but could have been 8 but for better guessing. Yet again the 50/50's went against me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A cup triumph followed by league mediocrity. 4/10. Some tough questions...though I expect 'the big hitters' to return some decent scores. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
