Think it's the Gaelic spelling, although his mother probably did it just to annoy Countdown recappers many years in the future.

Well if its the Gaelic spelling he's pronouncing his name wrong, I think its just a mis-spelled Michael

Another excellent feature of the site Charlie, bravo

Just a general wonderment to be honest. In this game I got the max in the first numbers game but was two away from the actual target and got eight points for it. Is stepdown supposed to be how far you are from the max or the target? Seems a bit harsh considering I got the maximum but got punished th...

There was a similar incident on the British version a while back. The question was "what is the minimum number of shots a player has to hit to win a set of tennis?" They gave the answer as 24, when the correct answer was 12. They'd just counted the minimum number of points and forgot that...

Wow, I didn't hear about this one before. I only knew the lunula as the crescent bit on the fingernail so despite being right on the show I would have sort of been wrong.

Argentina have no midfield and are moving the ball too slowly into tight spaces, they need to sort themselves out quick or this could be a hammering

More or less the same thing happen in the last minute of the Island Games women's final in 2001.

Kaita is a disgrace. He should be banned. Kaka never intentionally hurt him and CERTAINLY never hit his face. What a shocker, the referee wasn't even looking at the incident. Now one of the top players of the tournament is suspended. It's a joke. And to be honest, this hasn't been a great World Cup...

James Doohan

Thanks for that Andy. So the England team basically flew out 3 weeks late. I like the theory but you'd hope the FA would have brought on board a sports scientist who is at the very least as qualified as Souness. If not, very poor preparation indeed. He was saying that he couldn't believe that Engla...

Even though I've only been able to watch some of the games, the best performance of the world cup so far goes to the linesmen. I haven't seen them make a mistake yet.

So, how many of you guys who are so vigorously bashing it have actually played with this ball? Most of the criticism pre-tournament seemed to be about the erratic movement, but I haven't seen much of that at all.
