So, what's the answer to this: the only footballer on the pitch who during play is allowed, but is the only one who usually cannot.

(you can tell I'm bored).

I think that's the answer Spotty is looking for. I'd go with the goalie but have no idea what! Get something from the trainer while play is going on?

I'll reveal the answer to that one tomorrow, but I can add that the very first footballer not usually capable of doing what he was allowed was an Argentinian who shared a name with Mozart.

Second question.
Which country's major soccer league has teams named after:
A) an insect
B) a subject of interest to certain celebrities and politicians who have been in the news recently
C) a team named after and located in the capital of a neighbouring country

(you're looking for just the one country common to all three answers)

You are sooooooooo close. I'm gonna reveal the answer... Which is : goalie; allowed to touch the ball with his bare hands when the ball is in play, but doesn't because he wears gloves.

What about throw ins?

And shouldn't the question have been 'Who is the only footballer on the pitch who, during play, is allowed to do something, but is the only one who usually cannot?'

Technically, I believe that the ball is not in play during a throw in until after the ball is launched and has left the players hands. :P
And isn't that pretty much the question which what I asked? :wink:

Follow the trail - a series of questions on football. The answer to each question is the subject for the following question:

1 which is the oldest club in the world still playing association football?
2 who are their neighbours founded in 1889?
3 who was their present football manager's deceased dad?
4 what was his fifth and final club as manager?
5 what was their record number of consecutive unbeaten league games?
6 who is the man who has that squad number and was man of the match in a Premiership Derby in 2013?
7 who is his present club manager?
8 what was the club he was managing in 2003?
9 who was their leading goalscorer for the 1947 season?
10 what was the first international side he played for?
11 who was their strip manufacturer in the year 2000?
12 what is the new name of that stadium?
