THERE ARE SOME questions that need to be asked – and some that also need the platform of a live national sports broadcast to flourish.
Spotted by eagle-eyed Reddit Ireland user Agent4777 during the World Darts Championship on Sunday night on Sky was this very Irish question:
The as yet unidentified group are clearly Irish – as you can tell from both the question being asked and the green hats being sported – and one of them is also wearing a Mayo-coloured tie. So for now at least they can be claimed as part of the green and red brigade.
It’s hard to know what people watching across the water would make of such an inquiry. Perhaps they think it’s a delicate reference to a person’s head after a night out – but we all know the reality.

Well you won’t be winning any titles with the Rangers anyway butty
I’ve a feeling they’re going to slip up again
@Ardmore02: crack a Rodgers character joke. Go on ya know you want you
If for no other reason but your management of the most sectarian club in the world I do hope city win the title
@Martin Brennan: I’d say you’ve quite a few reasons.
@Martin Brennan: come out ye black and tans
What about the time you wanted to go to Chelsea. Wouldn’t believe a word you say
Overrated anyway
Complete legend, how does Scholes, Chadwick, Djemba, etc get mentioned same breath. And great to see him resurrect Rangers again. Deplorable league being won at a canter by 1 club 4 2 long now. Well done Mr. Liverpool
@Virgil Van Rock:
Ah lad come on ffs. What’s with the Djemba and Chadwick obsession? Every United fan knows they were wasters. The man living in Jupiter knows Scholes was a class act. Try again horse. I was a big fan of Gerrard in his playing days, he’s still hurting bad from the slip, and in fairness, he doesn’t try mask it either.
@Virgil Van Rock: Liverpool fans have the worst opinions on football haha Scholes is miles better than Gerrard and I’m a Barca fan Scholes controlled the game better than Gerrard could have dreamed of doing
@Gary: as footballers they were completely different. In my opinion it’s pointless comparing them as they both brought their own separate qualities to Liverpool and United. As a Liverpool fan, I rate Scholes, Keane and Henry as the three best players the league has seen but there’s no denying Gerrard was an exceptional footballer who carried an average Liverpool on his shoulders for many years.
@Gary: Scholes gets better with each passing year. Never once won the united player of the year.
@The Bloody Nine: completely right gerrard and scholes two completely differnt players. Scholes as he got older controlled the tempo of the game. Stevie G was roy of the rovers stuff magic moments when needed. In the premiership era our own mr roy keane was the greatest. What a f..king player he was.
@Virgil Van Rock: ressurect to what? Well done for MORE SLIPS. Must be contagious, baton to Karius and now to another fall guy NO DOUBT. dropped baton more appropriate!
@Virgil Van Rock: Funny how all the best playera in La Liga rated Scholes above Mr. Slippy. Much more natural talent there anyways rather than an overated work horse.
@The Bloody Nine: Nah Gerrard is not on Scholes level simple as that people don’t appreciate Scholes but if Scholes was Spanish he’d be up with Xavi and Iniesta
@Conor Pocock: Judging players off player of the year? Haha
@Gary: can’t remember too many matches when scholesy grabbed the game by the scruff , yeah great player alright but too quiet , Gerard leagues above him , yeah granted the red lad has more medals etc
@Gary: it would be unfair to judge people off Balon Dor or PFA player of the year alright. But club player of the year when held in the regard Scholes I think is fair enough. An excellent player nobody disputes but overrated.
Oh no
Ya spoke too soon Stevie………….sap
Ya spoke too soon Stevie
Someone should be taking bets on who the NEXT slip guy or fall guy will be that WILL stop that lot taking a title.
Ya spoke too soon Stevie, silly sausage
Apparently Stevie spoke too soon
Ya spoke too soon Stevie, silly muppet
