[Football] Quiz Tie Breaker

[studio150]

This was the tie breaker from the quiz I attended yesterday. No cheating. Nearest the pin. When was the first penalty scored in an FA Cup Final?

Was there a big disagreement after the answer was given as to whether an FA Cup Final Replay counts as a Final?

No because no one realised it was a replay.

Several people 1 out, answer is 1910 and was the replay between Barnsley and Newcastle. Newcastle won the replay 2-0 with the second goal being a penalty.

Like others on the thread I got mixed up with first penalty miss and first sending off and was thinking too recent.

I went for 1960 in the end which was miles out but closer than the other person!!!

Don't know. Next question please.

 

[The Mole]

Well it wouldn’t have been scored by the Corinthians because they thought penalties were unfair

 

[MJsGhost]

I reckon early too. My train time. 1909

I know penalties came into being in 1891 (another tie breaker on a work football quiz) and therefore I’m going to say in an actual final it took maybe 20 years to get one so 1911?!

Somewhere around these sounds about right

Ha this is great - we had a works quiz recently and this same question came up.

I think it’s 1910 but I’m sure you are going to tell me I’m (badly) wrong!

PS My answer was a guess - 1923

OK here’s another question. No cheating, answer is not hard to find on Google…

What’s the lowest score that has never been made by a batsman in a single innings in test cricket? Obviously there will be higher and lower than this, but never this particular score.

I reckon that’s going to be high - 200+ I’ll go for 213.

It’s a good guess, not wildly out but out by more than plenty of our batsmen just scored!

1407

I don’t know the game or the year but I assume it was awarded by Mike Dean

Actually the penalty was awarded in 1905 but VAR is still checking

Just googled out of curiousity... wrong! First scored by a Frenchman in a final.
