As this was asked without the benefit of the previous answer I'm exercising my discretionary power to give you the option of withdrawing this question if you so wish. Or not. It may be that this is the key to the whole thing. But I'll let you reflect and decide

Since we know it's not Chelsea, this would actually narrow it down quite a lot, but, I'll leave it up to Damo if he wants this question to stand.Octavious wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 1:50 pmAs this was asked without the benefit of the previous answer I'm exercising my discretionary power to give you the option of withdrawing this question if you so wish.

Re: Twenty Questions - Mrs Oct's Cousin (possibly!) Edition - Game No.3
Is it Aston Villa full-back Matthew Cash?
He is of mixed ancestry but looks white, he has scored four goals in the Premier League this season for a team that isn't Liverpool, Chelsea, Leicester or Man City, and he has made at least two appearances for the Poland national team in the past 12 months.

Although, without getting too much into racial politics, isn't Cash's ancestral mix simply different flavours of white? I could well be wrong as I don't know too much about Cash.

Re: Twenty Questions - Mrs Oct's Cousin (possibly!) Edition - Game No.3
So he does not play for:
Liverpool
Leicester
Man City
Arsenal
Brentford
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Tottenham
Watford (if that counts as "London")
West Ham
Nor does he play for the Championship teams Fulham, Queen’s Park Rangers, or Millwall.
I'm going to hope he's a Premier League player. So that leaves the following teams:
Manchester United
Brighton & Hove Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Newcastle United
Aston Villa
Southampton
Everton
Leeds United
Burnley
Norwich City

Are guesses still free? Is it Southampton’s and Scotland’s Che Adams? Eligible for England and Antigua and Barbuda. Scored his first goal this year.

Re: Twenty Questions - Mrs Oct's Cousin (possibly!) Edition - Game No.3
You're giving yourself a lot of work there, but I can confirm that he is in a team that either is in, has just been promoted to, or just relegated from, the Premiership. There are other directions that are perhaps better to focus on. There are some hints strewn throughout the thread that might be useful.
As a final clue, it's probably fair to say that his biggest game of the year probably hasn't happened yet.
And that's all you're getting

Guesses are still free, but the guess system will not be abused. You are not permitted to guess every player for example. I think one guess per person is fair

I will say, however, that it's bloody depressing writing boyo boy only to have someone guess a Scot shortly after...

Re: Twenty Questions - Mrs Oct's Cousin (possibly!) Edition - Game No.3
I'm genuinely stuck.
I've looked for players who meet all of the following criteria:
1. Scored a league goal this season for Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Southampton, Everton, Leeds United, Burnley or Norwich City.
2. Looks white but is actually of mixed race background.
3. Capped by a national team other than England.
And I can't find any.
I can only conclude that I've got something wrong, or it's a Championship player. And if it's a Championship player, I don't have the time or energy to filter through all of those too.
I give up.
