The SportsJOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 15

Lee Costello

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Chances are, you’re enjoying a well deserved day off to soak up the bank holiday, but fear not, we don’t take breaks and your Friday Pub Quiz is here.

You may have heard about a certain Match of the Day presenter getting into hot water last weekend before finally reaching a solution that kept everybody happy.

However, the media storm that it caused was pretty impressive, so we have dedicated a whole round to test your MOTD knowledge.

If you get full marks in this quiz, then you’re actually next in line to replace Gary Lineker, and by the looks of things, the BBC could be keen to move him on, so don’t take this lightly!

We still have our usual weekly round-up round too, as well as a very tricky true or false segment, followed by a GAA-focused section for all of the gaels out there.

Good luck folks!
