Close season Quiz
By: Acme Thunderer Date: July 13, 2021, 3:48 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Now that we've exhausted ourselves in front of the TV and
computer screen, it's probably time to unwind and relax until we
start up again in less than a month. So have a go at these 50
light-hearted questions.
All FL / PL referees from 1946. Some have more than one answer.
Spellings may be different and some flexibility needed with
pronunciation. Drip feed your answers please, with reasons,
rather than answering them all in one go to give others a
chance, and I will then 'like' or 'dislike' what you've
suggested. I'll keep this open for a while. Good luck!

AT once told me that neither he nor Mrs AT was any good at
cryptic clues. Well, he has excelled himself here! There are a
few that I thought of quickly enough - mostly those already
solved - but the majority will need a fair amount of
head-scratching, as I am completely bamboozled. Thanks for the
brain exercise!

shot lol

I had no idea for number 5 until I saw your explanation. I
suspect that AT was thinking of George Hartley.

The only time I heard the expression in number 7 was during a
cricket match between Earby and Settle - and it was not a belch
that occasioned it. The explanation given for the remark was
also the first time I heard the late US President's surname used
in that context.

For 47 Oasis gave the opposite advice. A referee from Ipswich
had the same forename as the playwright

If number 2 is Derek, then that is a remarkably good clue.

The same goes for 49 if the answer is Jim.
