    WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
    WE ARE BACK IN D1!!!! After a tremendous performance Girondins clinched
    the 2B title with some help by Istres. Girondins went ahead in
    the first half when Rainer Ernst converted a penalty. They continued to
    dominate happenings and put the guests under constant pressure. They
    missed numerous good occasions. In the beginning of the second half,
    Patrice Marquet missed a sitter alone with Gomes the keeper of StSeurin.
    The second goal came when our Islandic forward Arnor Gudjohnsen was
    fouled in the area and the referee blew the second penalty. Rainer Ernst
    took the kick and sent home the ball to increase the lead to two. Later,
    the referee was forced to blow a third penalty - he promptly pointed at
    the spot and Rainer Ernst finished his penalty hat-trick, his seventh
    goal of the season. The game in Istres ended five minutes from time in Bx
    and the crowd started to celebrate, sing and dance around Lescure and it
    did not stop when the ref blew his whistle. The players ran the lap of
    honours (is that correct terminology?) and threw their shirts into the
    ecstatic crowd of fans. The carnival continued for the entire night on the
    streets of Bordeaux. Can I get some congratulations?

Week 35 of "le Championnat" played the 10th and 11th of April 1992

AJ Auxerre                   3         AS Cannes                     1
    Cocard '?                               Fernandz '?
    Baticle '?
    Baticle '?
    Auxerre, who want to secure a UEFA Cup place against Cannes who want
    to avoid relegation. The home side took the lead by Cocard in the
    first half and Gerald Baticle increased the lead to two goals before the
    break. In the beginning of the second half they went three up when Gerald
    Baticle headed home his double. The guests managed to pull one back, but
    nothing more. This means that Auxerre stay in a good position to take the
    second UEFA Cup spot (if Monaco or Marseille take the Cup or the third
    spot otherwise). Cannes stay in deep troubles and have three tough games
    to play before they know what their future will be.

Havre AC                     1         AS Nancy-Lorraine             2
    Garande '43                             Sechet '2
                                            Vairelles '21
    Another game between a team in contention for a European place and a team
    who want to stay in the first division. It was the guests who got the
    lead they wanted, they went ahead already in the 2nd thanks to a
    Jean-Philippe Sechet goal. Later, Denis Vairelles put them two up in
    the middle of the half. the home side got new hope when Patrice Garande
    pulled one back just before the break. The second half saw l'HAC
    pushing forward with the Nancy defence being very solid. Sylvain
    Matrisciano saved both points for Nancy. Still, they are Lanterne
    Rouge, though and the end of the season will be very tough for them.
    Le Havre lost the contact with the teams fighting for the UEFA Cup spots
    and will not play in Europe next season.

RC Lensois                   4         Olympique Lyonnais            2
    Sikora '8-p.k.                          Bouafia '?
    R. Boli '?                              Bouderbala '?
    Laigle '?
    El Hadaoui '76
    Not a very interesting game since both teams are almost safe, in the case
    of Lens they are already sure of a new contract. Therefore this match
    was more positive than expected. The home side went two up in the
    first half and looked to be on the way towards a sure victory when the
    guests came out of the lockers and scored immediately. It was Ali
    Bouafia who pulled one back, the hope of a tight game didn't last for
    long, though. Jules Bocande shot and the rebound was picked up by
    Pierre Laigle who increased the home lead to two goals once again.
    The game was over when Mustapha El Hadaoui pushed home the fourth
    goal for the home side. Aziz Bouderbala finished off the show with
    grabbing the sixth goal of the encounter. Lyon might get some troubles
    if they lose all remaining games, but that is NOT likely.

Olympique de Marseille       0         Montpellier-Herault SC        0
    Marseille knew the score from Nantes and knew what they had to do.
    Montpellier knew that two points would be very good for the hopes of a
    new European adventure. Even one point might be good for the guests.
    The defence of Montpellier was very solid and kept the score down with
    good goalkeeping by Claude Barrabe. The home side failed to take
    advantage of the pressure and ball control and the score was still 0-0
    twelve minutes from time. At that time l'Oheme got a penalty after
    a foul on Papin (?). The penalty kick was as usual taken by Jean-Pierre
    Papin who has a habit to never miss a penalty. The incredibility
    that couldn't happen came true when Claude Barrabe stopped the penalty
    shot by Papin. After missing this golden chance Marseille failed to
    make the needed goal in the dying minutes. A pleasant result for the
    guests and a big disappointment for the home fans. Next weekend will see
    a sold-out Stade Louis-II when the top two clash in a battle for the
    title. A loss there for OM and we will probably see a new team lift
    the triumphs of Championnat. A win for Marseille will mean another
    championship to Velodrome.

FC Metz                      1         Stade Malherbe Caennais       2
    Calderaro '54-p.k.                      Germain '33
                                            Rio '82
    Caen had a tough clash with a third division side in the Cup in the
    midweek where they went through after penalties. Here they needed
    points to stay in contention for a surprising tour to Europe next season.
    They got a good start when Joel Germain shot home in the last quarter
    of the first half. The home side went level when Francois Calderaro
    promptly transformed a penalty given by M. Ramos, the referee of that
    match. The incident that resulted in the penalty was started by a shot by
    Ljubos Kubik that touched the hand of Hypolyte Dangbeto when he tried
    to defend his goal. The ball bounced off the defenders hand on the feet
    of William Dymant who drove home. But, the referee disallowed the goal
    and blew penalty instead. The result the same, though. The guests went
    ahead again after great work by Xavier Gravelaine on the left who finally
    sent the ball in front of the goal where Michel Rio shot it home to
    give the visitors both points with them home. This means that Caen still
    have a good chance of a place in Europe next season, the remaining three
    weeks will be interesting.

FC Nantes                    1         AS Monaco                     4
    ? '?                                    Djorkaeff '?
                                            Djorkaeff '?
                                            Djorkaeff '?
                                            Rui Barros '?
    (Played the 10th)
    Monaco had gone through in the Cup on Tuesday night without difficulty and
    had the CWC semifinal, second leg in Rotterdam on Wednesday to look forward
    to. The game started very badly for them, though, when Portuguese
    Rui Barros made a big mistake to let the Canaries go ahead. But, after
    the break with one goal down, Monaco was a different team, good work by
    Wenger. Youri Djorkaeff followed up last week's double with scoring three
    this night and the fourth was scored by Rui Barros. This looks good for
    Wednesday, if Monaco score four goals then, Feyenoord will be chanceless.
    We have to hope for a good encounter on Wednesday! This impressive score
    line means that Monaco are just one point behind the leaders Marseille
    and the top clash next weekend will be VERY decisive for the title.

Nimes Olympique              1         SC Toulon et du Var           0
    Bernardet '5
    After last week's top class performance, Luc Borelli hadn't it that fun
    from start this night. Because the home side got the lead very quickly
    when Gerard Bernandet netted the only goal of the game. The remainder
    saw Nimes in control and Toulon who had nothing to play for, didn't
    make a good impression, not much to do for Lionel Perez. This victory
    means good hope for a new contract for Nimes and put the three teams
    in the cellar into even deeper troubles.

AS Saint-Etienne             1         Lille OSC                     1
    Mendy '47                               Sauvaget '70
    After a scoreless first half the home side took the lead in the beginning
    of the second half. The goal for les Stephanois was scored by
    Etienne Mendy after work on the right by Fabrice Mege. The guests
    brought on Per Frandsen and that did help their attacks a lot. They got
    the equalizer when Patrice Sauvaget left Joseph-Antoine Bell without
    a chance to save his shot. Otherwise the match at Geoffroy-Guichard
    was of no importance.

FC Sochaux-Montbeliard       0         Stade Rennais FC              0
    Very important game for the bottom of the standings. Sochaux would almost
    secure a new contract with winning this one. Rennes couldn't afford to
    lose. That resulted in a game where Sochaux attacked and Rennes
    defended their goal and relied on counter attacks. The home side
    couldn't beat the guests keeper Pascal Rousseau. Alain Caveglia
    and Lionel Prat tried to score, but without success. Rennes still in
    big problems in the cellar. Sochaux three points ahead of the cellar.

Toulouse FC                  3         FC Paris-Saint-Germain        0
    Bancarel '?
    Ferrer '?
    Pavon '?
    (Played the 10th)
    The Canal Plus game of the week featured the first loss of 1992 for
    PSG when they crashed in Toulouse. The home side pulled three goals behind
    the guesting goalie and were clearly the better side. Paris will stay
    on the third place despite this crash landing and will play in the
    UEFA Cup next season.

         Rouen               0         Angers              0
           This scoreless draw didn't help any of the teams.
           Angers dropped a valuable point in the title race.
           And Rouen are virtually out of the playoff
           discussions.
         Dunkerque           0         Valenciennes        1
           Valenciennes got the very important goal in the
           first half and clinched the first spot in the
           standings and are now favourites to take the
           direct promotion place.
         Guingamp            1         Tours               2
           Guingamp managed with the impossible task to lose
           at home. The guests took the lead in the first
           and increased it to two in the middle of the
           second half, the home side pulled one back, but
           that didn't help them much. Guingamp lost the
           advantage they had in the playoff discussions
           and have now the uphill against them.
         Beauvais            1         Le Mans             1
           Mans failed to win this important game and are
           one point from playoff.
         Laval               5         Amiens              1
           Laval outclassed the guests and took advantage in
           the playoff battle.

AN Girondins de Bordeaux FC  3         AS Saint-Seurin-sur-l'Isle    0 :-) :-)
FC d'Annecy                  0         Stade Rodez Football          0
    Annecy got the point they needed to virtually save a new contract.
    They have to lose heavily if they should be relegated now.
SC Bastia                    2         Olympique Saint-Quentinois    0
    Bastia are more thinking about the Cup, but still pulled out
    a victory over the already relegated opponents.
Berrichonne de Chateauroux   2         Perpignan FC                  2
    No surprise that it ended in a draw, but that four goals were
    scored!
SA Spinalien FC              1         GFC Ajaccio                   0
    Ajaccio are completely thinking of the Cup tournament after the
    elimination of StEtienne in the midweek and Epinal got their
    third consecutive victory.
FC Grenoble Isere            2         FC Gueugnon                   3
    A very important game for the cellar, a victory for Grenoble
    would mean that they would be in an acceptable position for the
    last match and put Gueugnon into serious worries. But, the game
    ended in a hard-earned victory for the guests that means that
    they will stay and the home side will need a miracle to stay after
    this loss.
FC Istres Ville Nouvelle     4         RC Strasbourg                 2 :-) :-)
    This game featured the second versus the third. The home side went
    two up in the first half and scored the third in the middle of the
    second half. The guests pulled one back with nine minutes to go
    and another some minutes later and the dying minutes were hectic,
    but finally the home favourites scored the winner in
    over time and helped the Bordeaux fans to give them a night
    to celebrate the return to the first division of the Best
    football club in France, Girondins de Bordeaux. :-)
    Strasbourg and Istres will go to take the playoff chance of
    promotion.
FC Mulhouse Sud-Alsace       1         Olympique Ales-en-Cevennes    1
OGC Nice-Cote d'Azur         0         FC Martigues                  0
    Martigues got a new contract with this scoreless draw.
