Trying to solve this riddle that someone has set and havn't come up with the naswer yet in 2 days and its doing my nut in.. anyone have a clue?


What enters the field of play in a football match at half time, but doesn't leave until the match is over? If it's a Saturday match it leaves after the game, but if it's a midweek game it remains until the next day, and it only occurs in the Premiership, not in Scotland or the lower divisions ????

The only one I can think of is that it's a corner flag or flags but they would be in place before the start of the game and, I would assume, left for the duration of the game until being dealt with afterwards.

This sounds really daft but do the flags get removed at half-time in the Premiership? It's a possible theory, as some idiot could potentially get on to the pitch, remove the flag and maybe use it as a weapon. I could be completely and totally wrong though as I've not been to watch a Premiership match to date.

The answer is The Referee. He enters the field of play at half-time (not for the first time but he does do so). As the Premiership is the only division in the country with a professional panel of refs they are the only ones who get accommodation arranged for them.

Yep, sounds plausible too.

It's a real cunning riddle as it's all about how strictly you interpret the question. I took the "remaining till next day if in midweek" bit as an object that would be there 24/7 till removal.

also the "Half-Time" thing is there in wording to throw you off.

Turns out it was one of those hoax's... there is no answer!

hmm... pretty pointless then

aye, true that mate. :-/

That is a shame. Seemed a really good brainteaser as well.

There's one in this very thread. Who has the right to say it's wrong if it fits the facts?

Ooh, and the thread starts getting psychological all of a sudden...

Brain...hurt...bad.
