Players quiz from the match programme.

[DTS]

I know footballers as a whole are not the most intelligent bunch but this weeks questions amazed me.

I asked my mates nephew who is 12 the same questions and he got the same score as Charlie McDonald which i thought was pretty good considering my mates nephew quite rightly didnt know Zoltan Liptaks squad number.

This weeks questions.

Q. Who is the labour party leader (Baring in mind this is the current prime minister)

A. Charlie - I dont follow politics.

Now I am not being funny. Its fair to not know who is shadow vice chancellor or something but surely everyone should know who the PM is?

:thump:

 

[HUTTON]

When we played Crewe, one of the questions was
What is McCormacks squad number?

Daryl: 23 :thump:

 

[MK Shrimper]

Ooooohhh, that's scary.

I said quite rightly as he lives in Brighton and had hardly heard of Southend let alone Zoltan Liptak.

Not good enough Dave, call yourself an Uncle? :p

Despite his Dad saying his son isn't allowed anything to do with football, when he's old enough I am going to educate my nephew to the delights of Southend!

 

[Cliff Pavilion]

It was also impressive to see Adam Barrett choose to pass on a multiple choice question - with only a) or b) as a possible answer!

He is my mates nephew so asking if I can take him to football may end up with me looking like a nonce.

 

[Benji91]

Perhaps this could be a poll?

OK, fair enough, thought you meant blood relative!
Get what you mean!

Good idea though for a poll (Benji)!!! :p

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Shocker. Footballers living up to the 'unintelligent' stereotype... :p

 

[Uncle Leo]

A. Charlie - I dont follow politics.

"I don't follow politics" being up there with "Don't know, it was before my time" in the list of crap excuses for getting a quiz question wrong.

1066 was before everyone's time*, does that mean we shouldn't know it was the year of the Battle of Hastings? :thump:





*apart from Cricko and canveyshrimper

 

[thechampionship_isupsidedown]

[thechampionship_isupsidedown]

They should ask them questions like "who put the ball in the Bury net?"...

Very lame i have to say!:thump: :thump:

 

[shrimper dan]

it would of been worse if they asked him who the prime minister was. he'll probably still think its tony blair (if he knows who he is lol.)

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

They should ask the players all 800 questions from Peter Miles Southend United Quiz Book.
