Since the sap is rising and to offer a token response to the soccer quizzes and all sorts going on over on the General Disruption board, I think it's time we had another GAA quiz thread. (Please post the question with your answer, otherwise it'll get all mixed up).
These are all fairly handy ones about All-Ireland Senior Football Finals:
1. Which county has lost the most AIFs?
2. Name all counties with a 100% record in AIFs.
3. Name all counties with a 0% record in AIFs (not counting those who've never appeared).
4. How many AIF's have been drawn?
5. Which county has waited the longest since its last All-Ireland win?
6. What's the highest winning score in an AIF?
7. What's the highest losing score in an AIF?
8. What's the highest number of goals scored in an AIF?
2) Down, Louth, Wexford??
5) Mayo (1956)??
Aidan:
2) One right (not telling you which :D)
5) No
2) Bill 'Squires' Gannon and Kildare in 1928
Not Kildare (I presume that's an answer to no. 5)
(2) Down
Moose - Down is one. There are others.
Limerick is one!
Highest winning score Kerry 4-15 2006 ?
2) Donegal, Limerick Down
Highest number of goals.
1977 Dublin 5-12; Armagh 3-6 8 ?
Quote from: Bensars on May 09, 2008, 12:40:43 PM
Highest number of goals.
1977 Dublin 5-12; Armagh 3-6 8 ?
Also highest score as well Bensars as well as the 4-15 Kerry scored in 2006.
Screenexile - correct on no. 2. Down, Limerick, Donegal
Bensars - highest winning score - no
- highest number of goals - yes, shared with another year
Screenexile - correct on no. 6 - highest winning score shared by Dublin 1997 and Kerry 2006
1948 Cavan 4-5; Mayo 4-4
5. Which county has waited the longest since its last All-Ireland win?
Limerick 1896
1. Which county has lost the most AIFs?
I would guess Kerry purely on the basis that they have contested the most finals ( and only had to play 2 games to get to the AIF for the first 115 odd years ;) ;)

Oops - corrected Hawkeye!
That's it. I'm done with quizzes. I did me best.
A good effort Hardy.
As for the draws only remember the ones in my own lifetime and that sinking feeling at the end. I'm going to have to lie, beg, scrape and lie again for another week to try and turn up a ticket!
Here's one. What is the biggest margin of defeat Kerry have suffered in an All IReland final?
Quote from: AZOffaly on May 09, 2008, 02:47:09 PM
Here's one. What is the biggest margin of defeat Kerry have suffered in an All IReland final?
9 points
1972.....Offaly 1-19; Kerry 0-13
i wonder where you pulled that one from AZ ?
Had to be done Bensars :D Everyone goes on about *that* goal in 1982, but we'd heaped humiliation on the kingdom before that :D It's 2-2 in All Irelands between us (I think).
I knew the answer for semi-finals. ;)
Someone have a guess at the draws. I can tell you that Kerry also hold the record for the most drawn finals.
I see that was a replay in '72. Kerry's record is amazing. Bar one or two others they didn't lose those 18 finals by much.

Ah and we know what happened next ;)
Seeing as 7 & 8 are wrong for the drawn finals, I am going to next one up - 9
Theres been 12 draws
Drawn Finals? Well that one in 1972 was a draw the first day out. Cork and Meath drew 1 as well. As did Meath and Mayo. Kerry and Galway was another.
I can't remember back anything before that.
In what year was the Sam Maguire first presented?
In what year was Sam Og Maguire first presented?
Sam Óg - 1988?
Quote from: magpie seanie on May 09, 2008, 03:06:06 PM
Sam Óg - 1988?
Thats the one that I would go with, the Kingdom weren't impressed that the Royals got the old
Correct - 12 draws:
1894 Dublin-Cork
1914 Kerry-Wexford
1926 Kerry-Kildare
1937 Kerry-Cavan
1938 Kerry-Galway
1943 Cavan-Roscommon
1946 Kerry-Roscommon
1952 Meath-Cavan
1972 Kerry-Offaly
1988 Meath-Cork
1996 Meath-Mayo
2000 Kerry-Galway
Kerry won five of their seven replays.
Meath won two of their three.
Cavan won one of their three.
Roscommon won one of their two.
Cork won one of their two, but that title was awarded to Dublin anyway in 1894 (pro-Dub bias clearly goes back that far at least)
Dublin, as I say, lost their one but got the cup anyway.
Offaly won their only replay.
Wexford, Kildare and Mayo lost their only replays.
The Sam Og Maguire Cup was first played for in 1987 Meath were the first winners
Are you sure? Meath won in '88 as well.
Quote from: Hardy on May 09, 2008, 03:10:21 PM
Correct - 12 draws:
<snip>
1914 Kerry-Wexford
<snip>
Wexford, Kildare and Mayo lost their only replays.
Shit! I had no idea Wexford came so close to being the only 5-in-a-row winners!
Hardy, please tell me we weren't 2 points up with minutes to go and a little fat substitute corner-forward (veteran of the 1904 campaign) cunningly nudged our corner-back
in the back before finding the only square-foot of the net that would beat our keeper from 25 yards ..........
Quote from: amallon on May 09, 2008, 03:25:43 PM
The Sam Og Maguire Cup was first played for in 1987 Meath were the first winners
Yep 99.9% sure Joe Cassells was the Meath captain.
Think Cassells was captain in '88 and Mick Lyons in '87. Meath folk - can you help us out?
Lyons was the last man to lift the old Sam. Maybe I'm not right with the years
Quote from: magpie seanie on May 09, 2008, 03:36:45 PM
Think Cassells was captain in '88 and Mick Lyons in '87. Meath folk - can you help us out?
Correct. Cassells lifted the new sam in 88
That's right. Mick lifted the last Old Sam in '87 and Joe the first New Sam in '88.
Model Hammer - I can't rightly remember the 1914 final but I do remember the Wexford lads all saying "if we're going to miss the five-in-a-row, it's better to lose the first one than the last".
Kildare - 1st county to win the Sam Maguire Cup in 1928
Meath were the last in 1987 (Mick Lyons)
Meath lifted the first Sam Og Maguire cup in 1988 (Jpe Cassells)
Who were the first team to win the All-Ireland Hurling title through the back door?
Who were the first team to win the All-Ireland Football title through the back door?
Offaly 1998
Tyrone 2003?
Back door:
Wexford '97
Galway '01
Wexford didn't win the All Ireland in 1997, that was Clare (They beat Tipp in the final). Offaly were defo the first hurling back door winners, they defeated Kilkenny in the Brian Whelehan final of 1998. (When he had the flu and went full forward, and won the game for Offaly).
First Hurling title through Back door was Offaly in 98
First Football title through back door was Galway in 01
This 1 is as old as Tea.
Who and what year did 2 brothers play in the middle of the field in Croke Park on All-Ireland final day?????
Was that the Connollys of Galway in 1980? Or is this some sort of trick question about bands? :D
Were Foster and Allan brothers?
No. Tony Allen and Mick Foster. If it was Big Tom and Tony Allen we'd have a winner :D

Was driving in this morning, bored with the radio I came up with novel way to amuse myself! From the memory I tried to name the Meath team that won the AI in 99. I have a good few, I know a couple of taps on the keyboard and I could fill in the gaps, but no cheating, do it from the head. Name the rest (and correct the errors)
C O'Sullivan
M Reilly D Fay C Murphy
H Traynor ? ?
J Mc Dermott ?
E Kelly T Giles ?
T Dowd GG O Murphy
Bonus point: Who scored the great goal for Cork that day and name his club?

Jimmy McGuinness Mid field and nigel nestor wing forward?
Wasn't it Reynolds in the HB line?
Nigel Crawford was midfield
Nigel Nestor was a half forward??
Tomy Dowd wasnt playing
Donal Curtis was playing CF?
Enda McManus was CHB
Paddy reynolds was a half back
Joe Kavanagh scored a screamer of a goal and he plays for Nemo??
99 was too early for crawford?
i thought boots mcguinness was midfield

I still haven't looked up the team, but I would imagine it was boots mc guinness myself. I have my doubts about T Dowd playing alright
Nestor definetly played, Reynold McManus and Traynor made up the half back line, crawford and Mcdermott in the middle
Yea i could be wrong on the Crawford 1, what age is he he now 28/29, which means he would have been 19/20 that time. I see maddog is agreeing with me though.
Thought it might have been Crawford because i remembered the 2 Nigels playing on the same team but this could have been later.
I presume it's OK to list the team now:
O'Sulllivan
Reilly, Fay, Murphy
Reynolds McManus, Traynor
McDermott Crawford
Nestor, Giles, Curtis
Kelly, Geraghty, Murphy.
Dowd and McGuinness were on the bench. Tommy came on near the end, to the biggest cheer of the day.
While we're closeby, how about the Meath team from the 1996 replay? Not many people get it right.
Well us Mayo lads are probably better placed than most so I'll go for the following
Cormac O'Sullivan
Mark O'Reilly Darren Fay Martin O'Connell
Colm Coyle Enda McManus Paddy Reynolds
Jimmy McGuinness John McDermott
Trevor Giles Tommy Dowd Graham Geraghty
???? Brendan Reilly Barry Callaghan.
Feck who was thirteen. Not sure of the keeper either
Before Kerry (2007) who were the last team to win the AIF championship with a 100% record (no losses or draws) ?
Meath '99?

Correct. Kerry last year were the first team in the backdoor era to win all their games.

When asking the question i thought of him but i thought he only refereed 1 All Ireland..I checked it out and it seems i was wrong. :-[
But there is another player who has won 4 Leinsters and reffed two all irelands that isn't Peter McDermott

I've a question Hardy - an open question really - How in the name of St Brendan can Kerry claim to be the Kings of Gaelic football with a record like that - 18 defeats?? A complete disgrace - a boxer with the same record would be classed as a bum - Rodel Orais for instance - who?
They have more defeats than the French and Italian Armies combined.
Who else has a record of 18 defeats? i'll tell you who - Wigan "Athletic"
Kerry - the Wigan of Gaelic football

Declan O'Sullivan in 06 and 07.
Dara O Cinneide 04
John O'Leary 1995
After that I'm in the wilderness. Would Mickey Ned O'Sullivan count in 1975 even though Spillane lifted the cup after Sean Doherty nearly beheaded Mickey Ned?
Oh, and Paidi of course. Don't remember the year - was it 78?

'57 hero pens autobiography
Wednesday October 29 2008
Dan O'Neill, who played midfield on the 1957 Louth team that won the third of the county's three All-Ireland senior football titles, has completed his autobiography.
The launch of Divided Loyalties will take place in the Boyne Valley Hotel, Drogheda, on Friday, November 7, at 8pm.
The event is certain to attract a large turn-out of prominent figures from the world of Louth GAA, including many veterans of the famous victory over Cork. It will be tinged with sadness as team captain Dermot O'Brien died last year shortly before the 50th anniversary of the triumph.
To this day, it remains a popular quiz question for GAA fans around the country – who were the last two Mayo men to win All-Ireland senior medals?
Dan played for his home club Castlebar Mitchels and Mayo before transferring to Louth following an expenses dispute, and was joined in the ' Wee County' by Ballaghaderreen man Seamie O'Donnell.
The two had played together in 1954 on the Mayo team that won the National Football League title, and bumped into each other again at a border crossing when both were Gardai stationed in Co. Louth.
In a twist of fate, they ended up playing at midfield together in the second-half of the 1957 All-Ireland final when Louth defeated Cork – and now, over 50 years later, Dan has chronicled his football career and his life and times in Mayo, Louth, Sligo, and Galway.
Divided Loyalties looks back at the run to the Sam Maguire in 1957, and also deals with the celebrations that followed the famous win.
Dan also writes about his time living and working in Co. Louth, and there is no mistaking his deep affection for his adopted county.
'I spent almost eight years in Louth, and enjoyed a popular support from the fans there.
'This created in a me a very strong magnetic attraction towards Louth, and I still attend as many Louth matches as I can,' he said.
'Louth was very good to me. I made great friends in the county and I enjoy my regular visits there.
'I always remained strongly attracted to my home county, and, indeed, I was delighted when circumstances allowed me to come back and wear the green and red of Mayo again in 1963.
'At half-time in the All-Ireland final in 1957, Seamie came out from the half-forward line to play alongside me at midfield. So you had two Mayo men playing together at midfield for Louth in an All-Ireland final.
'Neither Louth or Mayo have won an All-Ireland title since, which is a source of great disappointment to me.'
Divided Loyalties by Dan O'Neill is written in association with Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, freelance journalist Liam Horan, and will be launched by Dan's friend, legendary RTE broadcaster Jimmy Magee. Master of Ceremonies for the night will be 1957 colleague, Frank Lynch.
Very Good. As we all know, GAA autobiographies can often be terrible affairs, but the fact that Liam Horan ghost wrote would give me hope that this should be an enjoyable read. :)

Remaining unanswered:
4. How many AIF's have been drawn?
Has anyone else any questions? The place is infested with questions about soccer and songs and gayness and more soccer, which is just a form of gayness anyway.
For number 3 above, only two of those answers are true if you count hurling AIFs as well. (Which two?)
Another question: what is the only county with a 100% record in hurling AIFs?
For q3 part 2 Antrim is definitely one of them with the other being Laois?
Antrim have a 100% loosing record in all ireland finals if that counts?
For a wining record try Kerry?

Couldn't play for Tyrone Seniors once he was out of minor unless he was affiliated to a football club. Errigal was formed before PTG played senior for Tyrone.

Larry had retired in 2008 before deciding to give it another go under Carr this year, probably why you don't have him as an answer.
Anthony Forde was part of the 97 team and played last year but has retired this year (he'll be back yet) so he may be the one you're looking for.
yeah forde's the one i was told.
Alan Rodgers poses this in his blog:
First a question for all those who fancy themselves as knowing a little bit about the GAA. A few days ago a colleague, a certain Ronan McSherry, asked me what was the last year no players on either of the four teams in the All-Ireland Senior Finals actually held a coveted senior medal.
I'll let you think about it for a minute before answering. It's one of those questions which seems easy at first before realising just how complicated it actually is. That was certainly what I learned after thinking about possible answers for a while.
The best way to try and figure out and answer is to look through the list of All-Ireland Senior Hurling and Football Finalists. Taking the past three decades as an example, there has always been a time when either of the four teams had won the Sam Maguire or Liam McCarthy during the careers of one, more or many of the players involved.
Afterall, Kerry and Dublin dominated football from the mid-seventies, the 1986 hurling final featured a host of Cork and Galway players who had won medals in 1980 and 1984 and John O'Leary and a few of the Offaly players ruled out 1995 as a possibility.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, we settled for 1989. Tipperary hadn't won the hurling since 1971 when they played Antrim, while Cork and Mayo had to go back to the early seventies and the fifties respectively since their triumphs. All seemed well until last night when I checked out the four teams and suddenly realised that Cork's lineup included one Teddy McCarthy. He, of course, had won a hurling medal in 1986.
So, it was time to find an alternative and the next best chance was in 1957 when Cork, last winners in 1945 and Louth, last winners in 1910, played in the football and Kilkenny, last winners, in 1947 and Waterford, last winners in 1948, contested the hurling. Now this is far from being scientific and is obviously open to correction, but none of the thirty starting names rang a bell from previous final appearances.
Once again, though, a Cork dual start came into the picture in the form of Eamon Goulding. He had also played in the 1954 All-Ireland Hurling Final whoch Cork won.
Going on the records and the likelihood that players enjoyed reasonmably lengthy careers, I reckon that the most recent year in which no player taking part in an All-Ireland Final had won a medal was 1910. None of the Wexford or Limerick players in the hurling had won one and Louth got a walk-over Kerry in the football.
So, there you are. Now I'm challenging someone to come forward and try and prove me wrong. Look forward to hearing from you.
Can't have been 1910 either, MF Crowe had an All-Ireland for Solo Singing in the Scor.

Right Lads and Lassies, was at a table quiz about two weeks ago and this question came up:
From 1980 to 2000 which county won the most all ireland senior titles, hurling and football combined?
It was clarified that this could be all football, all hurling or a combination of both.
The answer they gave and stuck to was wrong >:( Even though they couldn't back it up, yet I could clearly prove that our answer was correct! (Good thing we were 3 back from the winners and not a point, or things could have got interesting!!) Take it as being inclusive of the years mentioned.
Anyway, without using the GAA.ie roll of honour, what are your answers??

It's good but it's not right
Its not even good, it doesn't even answer the question, which clearly had paramters from 1980 to 2000 :D
Surely the answer here is Kerry, with seven all ireland football wins including the years 1980 and 2000?

Can you state the exact perameters of the question so? I took it to be Senior hurling and football championships. Hence Kerry with seven.

Galway.
It doesn't include national leagues titles, an all senior title can be safely assumed to be championship titles.
It didn't say it in the question, but we will take it that Ladies football and camogie titles are not included. As then the answer would indeed by Cork.

All Star awards weren't awarded until 1971... but if they had been before, he would have won nine and robbed of one in another year :o

How many did Cork win? I was thinking Kerry meself.
Cork have only 6, 4 hurling and two football. Has to be Kerry, if you are including specifically the two years, 1980 and 2000. But its a different story if you exclude these two years, then you're looking at winners from 1981 to 1999 only
The correct answer is Kerry with seven 80,81, 84, 85,86, 97 & 00. Very simply worked out, I couldn't think of one that beats that and there is not, Cork do indeed have 6. The answer the genius quizmaster gave was Offaly!!!!! They only have five, even if you exclude 80 & 2000 they are still not the answer!!
Yes the correct answer is the Kingdom
But if you exclude 1980 and 2000, Kerry too would only have 5, so the quizmaster is half right ;D

You're so sharp you could cut yourself!!!
No, if you exclude 1980 & 2000 the answer is Cork with six. There is simply no way that the Biffs are the answer to that question.

You doubted yourself and asked for clarification :P
Yes you were right from the start.
So was I!
Offaly's football title in 1982 does not count in any roll of honour, how could it be honourable, they brought the GAA into disrepute by stealing our All Ireland and yes I am still bitter about it :P
Since sponsorship came in c1990, which county is the only one to win an All-Ireland with no sponsors name on their jersey?
Down 1991?

The Kit Van Had been stopped for having dodgy Diesel ?
Changed their Jerseys at half time ?
Weren't Down sponsored by Kersten Hunik originally, then by Ulster Bank, and wasn't their some furore amonst the unionist clientele of that same bank about the bank sponsoring the "IRA at Play", and the bank pulled the sponsorship mid season or something to that effect?

Yes. Down had been sponsored by Ulster Bank, but 1994 was the first year the GAA used sponsorship for the overall Championship and brought in Bank of Ireland as sponsors. Croke Park dictated (probably on conditions made by BOI) that Down could not promote a rival bank.
Er, I'm not making up any nonsense. There was a furore from the clientele of one pf Down's sponsors in the 1990s, and it was politically based and led to the sponsorship being wthdrawn >:(

Pathetic, the only place this happened was in your warped little mind.
Not to bring the thread off on a tangent or to defend Mr Fearon (he's big enough to do that himself). But, that very bank did arrange inspections in branches in Donegal the day after they won their only AIF final. This meant that lads who would have been off celebrating had to report for duty, mind you I would imagine that some of them were in rag order!! I have this direct from a retired Ulster bank branch manager from Donegal, so I have no reason to doubt it.
I am telling you in all seriousness, there was a problem with one of Down's early sponsors, either Kersten Hunik or the Ulster Bank (can't remember which one) and it was politically rooted, ie the customers of the sponsor objected to them sponsoring a GAA team. Mind you it didn't get as high a profile as the stingy Down county board's apoplexy at the players' deal with a football boot manufacturing company! ;D
