    Champions' Cup; First round, second leg, the 30th of September 1992:

         Olympique de Marseille   3         Glentoran      0 :-) :-)
           Omam-Biyik '6
           Pele '13
           Boli '75
         Att.: 15000
              (OM won 8-0 on aggregate)
         The Marseille fans knew the match was over before the kickoff and
         that resulted in the least crowd of the season. Fernandez fielded
         many reserves to spare the players for the encounter with Monaco
         this weekend. Francois Omam-Biyik and Abedi Pele put OM two up early
         on and afterwards the pace slowed down. Basile Boli completed the
         scoring fifteen minutes from time. L'Oheme got a perfect draw
         and hopefully they paid that with giving the Northern Irish side
         a match to remember for the remainder of their lives.

    Cup Winners' Cup; First round, second leg, the 30th of September 1992:

         AS Monaco           0         Miedz Legnica       0 :-) :-)
         Att.: 5000
              (MONACO advance 1-0 on aggregate)
         Not many fans at Louis-II and the ones who turned up have probably
         wished they didn't. Nothing really happened, a very poor display
         by Monaco, failing to score against a Polish second division team.
         Michal, you were definitely wrong, here!


    UEFA Cup; First round, second leg, the 29th of September 1992:

         AJ Auxerre          7         Lokomotiv Plovdiv   1 :-) :-)
           Baticle '2                    Sadakov '21
           Cocard '11
           Prunier '13
           Vahirua '27
           Prunier '47
           Baticle '68
           LasLanders '84
         Att.: 16000
              (AUXERRE win 9-3 on aggregate :-))
         GREAT! I'm so happy that I have caught a French club live on the
         telly again :-) Thanks to Thierry who told me that Eurosport were 
         going to show this great encounter.
         First of all, I should say that I indeed know the names of the
         AJA players, but I'm not fully sure who is who...
         As you all know, the first match ended 2-2 in Plovdiv, so all odds
         were with Auxerre and they showed what they are built of from start
         with attacking the goal of the Bulgarians. Already in the second
         minute, Daniel Dutuel flicked on to Christophe Cocard who put
         Gerald Baticle through for the first. The home side continued to
         go forward and created more chances and that paid off. The second
         came on a Pascal Vahirua corner headed home by Christophe Cocrd.
         Two minutes later, it was time again with a new ball from Vahirua,
         this time slotted home by William Prunier. The guests were shocked
         by this start, but managed to pull one back with a a Sadakov
         shot. This didn't stop AJA from attacking, Vahirua wasted a golden
         oppurtunity with a shot just wide before he grabbed the fourth with an 
         excellent finish on a beatiful Daniel Dutuel cross. The best the
         guests had in the first half was a distance shot saved to corner by
         Bruno Martini. If the Bulgarian coach had given his players some
         inspiration is an academical question since captain William 
         Prunier headed home another corenr just two minutes into the half.
         Ten minutes into the half, Man of the Match, Pascal Vahirua
         was substituted to cheers from the crowd. The sixth went to 
         Baticle on a Cocard pass and the seventh was grabbed seven minutes
         from time by the second substitute, young former Saint-Seurin striker
         Laslanders who chipped the ball over the keeper who failed to 
         control the ball. (He is not in my squad, so I don't know how old
         he is :-(). The visitors forced Martini to show his class on some
         occasions, the national keeper saved this efforts brillianttly.
         Christophe Cocard and Daniel Dutuel were also excellent on the night.
         
    UEFA Cup; First round, second leg, the 1st of October 1992:

         PAOK Tessaloniki    0 (X)     Paris-Saint-Germain FC   2 (X) :-) :-)
                                         Weah '14
                                         Sassus '32
         Att.: ?????
              (PSG advance, PAOK get banned)
         Oh well, I should never have been worried for this, Jorge seems
         to have given the players the experience needed for European matches..
         Paris-Saint-Germain went two up in the first half, with a quick goal
         by Georges Weah and a second from Jean-Luc Sassus and dominated
         clearly the match. The fanatic home crowd couldn't tolerate this
         and invaded the pitch. The referee felt forced to blow off the match.
         In any case, PSG have a 4-0 lead, so the home side have to score
         five if they should advance and they won't, I actually don't think
         the match will be played to end. Instead UEFA will give the Greeks
         a heavy fine and ban them from UEFA competition for at least one
         year. PSG roll on in impressive manners, defeating PAOK on their
         home ground in such a way can't be said to be anything else than
         impressive!

         Real Zaragoza       2         SM Caen-C-B-N       0 :-( :-(
           Brehme '23
           Poyet '64
         Att.: 11000
              (Caen lost 3-4 on aggregate)
         The lack of experience cost Malherbistes a second round place.
         The home side won the match with one goal in the middle of each
         half, the first by German International defender Andreas Brehme
         and the second by Gustavo Poyet. Caen put off a good fight in a match
         marked by poor refereeing. If the tie had been reversed with Caen 
         playing at home in the second leg, they would likely have been 
         through...

    Well, overall the expected facit for French clubs, let's hope the balls
    are with the French clubs today when UEFA have their draw.
