Switzerland 3   Scotland 1

Knep     2,71   McCoist 15
Bergy    85

Scotland got gubbed in their first World Cup qualifying game in Berne last
night but it's not all bad news, England got gubbed as well in Spain but pity
it wasn't in the World Cup. But to the disaster itself, we kept it tight for
the first seventy seconds and then Knep scored with a header from a corner.
SAlly equalised after fifteen minutes after a powerful run by the Juke Box.
Makes the Swiss eat their words a bit. Not much else happened up to half-time
apart from SAlly missing a great chance when he miskicked a Buddy Holly.
So, the second half started with Scotland on top, hard to believe isn't it,
and Switzerland not getting a look in when with twenty minutes to go, Tommy
Boyd sells the jerseys in going for a ball that wasn't his. The boy crosses
for Knep to header again past Goram while pushing Malpas to the ground.
However, Hen Broon was marking no-one when the ball came across. The third
was a brilliant free kick after Hen Broon was penalised but I don't think
that it merited a direct free kick as it was obstruction. However, Bergy
despatched it into the top corner. Then came the ordering off of Richard
Gough. He was last man just back from the halfway line when a ball came to
him and it bounced on a water sprinkler in the ground. Now, forgetting that
he doesn't get a preferred lie, he catches the ball as it goes over his head
and continues walking for an early bath. Thereafter, we held on and Stuart
McCall almost scored with the last kick of the ball. So, we got gubbed for
twenty minutes of madness. The players that had done no bad were Durie,
Gough, McAllister and McCall. McCoist was OK but should have scored more than
one. McStay was posted missing. The games against Portugal and Italy at Ibrox
are now very important in the coming months.

<>        CAMPEONATO LOCAL: Conclusion de la fecha suspendida por lluvia:
(round 4)
BOCA 3- VELEZ 2 (poco  nivel  tecnico  y  muchos  golpes);  ARGENTINOS  1- 
PLATENSE 1 (el local fue superior); SAN LORENZO 2-MANDIYU  3  (los  santos 
fueron superiores en todo momento); ESPA#OL 2- RIVER 0 (buen partido  para 
el 3er triunfo de River); LANUS 1- TALLERES 1 (muy lindo partido).

La fecha del domingo: (round 5)

RIVER 1- SAN MARTIN DE TUCUMAN 1: Sorpresivo empate de River con el recien 
ascendido, que no podia creer el resultado.  De  esta  manera  los  millos 
resignaron la punta ante su cronico rival.

LANUS 0- BOCA 2: Boca alcanzo la punta en un partido muy luchado y  en  el 
que, a pesar de la cantidad de buenos jugadores que compro, aun no  se  le 
ve un buen futbol.

HURACAN 0- VELEZ 2: El Globito perdio el  invicto  y  dejo  la  punta.  EL 
partido comenzo bien pero de a poco  fue decayendo,  y  lo  unico  que  lo 
desiquilibro fue la buena definicion de Velez.
RACING 1- ESTUDIANTES 0: Racing volvio a  ganar  de  la  mano  de  dos  ex 
jugadores de Boca, Graciani y Abramovich. Este ultimo convirtio el  gol  y 
cumplio una buena actuacion en defensa.

GIMNASIA 2- INDEPENDIENTE 0: Con un tiempo para cada uno, el  partido  fue 
mas parejo de lo que indica el resultado,  pero  a  los  rojos  les  falta 
definicion.

TALLERES 1- SAN LORENZO 3: Empezando en  desventaja  los  santos  pudieron 
ganar gracias a su potencia ofensiva y al bajon que Talleres sufrio en  el 
2o tiempo.

NEWELLS 1- ESPA#OL 1: Partido deslucido donde Espa#ol se dedico a  esperar 
los ataques de los rosarinos, que casi no llegaron.

MANDIYU 1- ARGENTINOS 1: Muy pobre encuentro con justo  resultado,  aunque 
dicen que mas justo hubiera sido 0 a 0!

PLATENSE 1- ROSARIO 2: Injusto triunfo de Rosario, que supo aprovechar las 
imprecisiones de Platense para definir.

FERRO 3- BELGRANO 0: Partido con buen 2o tiempo. Justo y facil triunfo  de 
ferro ante un equipo que "no estaba" en la cancha.

POSICIONES: BOCA 8; RIVER, HURACAN 7; RACING,  SAN  LORENZO,  ROSARIO*  6;

Has anyone been listening to the Fantasy Football League on Radio 5 on
Sundays ?

I have been enjoying this and would very much like to play in a similar 
league. Does anyone know how I can do so - please mail me.

Thanks.

No offence taken.  I raised the point about Israel to emphasise the
situation in Australia with regard to the mix of people from different
nationalities.  Israel has the most multicultural society because they
have had large numbers of Jewish imigrants from a lot of different
cultures over the last 40-50 years.  Australia also has a large
non white AngloSaxon population, however there are considerable religious
differences between these ethnic groups as well as cultural differences.
It is when these differences spill over into soccer that unsavoury incidents
occur, usually off the field, not on.

Graeme Souness thinks that he can buy success as he did in Scotland. Instead
of wasting the Club's money on all these players whose names you cant
even pronounce, why doesn't he just approach the Football Association and
buy the trophies that are being offered. Graeme may have been a good
player in his days (although one helluva dirty player at times), but that
does not mean that he is a good manager. When is the Liverpool board
going to wake up and fire the ugly Scot ? With this guy around, the club
looks like a laughing stock. Sure, he brought the F.A cup to Anfield,
but then beating Sunderland aint exactly a mean achievement.

I belive Coventry did beat Spurs on Monday night, but they have about as much 
chance of winning the title as Methyr Tydfil have of winning the European Cup.

Patrik Hi I am sorry about the delay in replying to your post I couldnt
post direct as there seems to be a mistake in your adress. The
Switzerland Scotland game is to be played in Berne next Wednesday (9th
September) The kick off is 7.30 although I do not know if that is BST or
local time although I would guess it is BST. I hope this helps. Send me
a note and well discuss the game. It should be a great game as Scotland
are playing well and Switzerland with their new manager will be looking
for revenge after euro qualification going to the Scots.

Cheerio and all the Best

Hi r.s.s fans. My site missed all news over the weekend, so I'm not sure if these have been posted before.

Oceania Group 1

Australia       2 2 0 0  5  1  4
Solomon Islands 2 0 1 1  2  3  1
Tahiti          2 0 1 1  1  4  1

Australia now only needs one win from its two remaining matches to qualify for Round 2.


Oceania Group 2
===============

Fiji      3   Vanuatu     0

		P W D L  F  A Pts
New Zealand 	3 3 0 0 15  1  6
Fiji		2 1 0 1  3  3  2

                              Playoffs
                             Semifinals

 9/11   Tampa Bay                 :              San Francisco Bay
 9/13   Colorado                  :              Fort Lauderdale

 9/26                        Championship
                    At home of semifinal winner
                 with higher regular-season finish.

As for competition with the CSL, the APSL did very well, elminating Van-
couver and Montreal in the Professional Cup competition between teams
from both leagues. I agree, that a merger between the two leagues (plus
teams in all of the WC '94 sites would be a big improvement over the
skeletal league now.

Best, Chris

I too have found English footy on my local cable.  Prime is shown
on the same channel as MSG (Madison Square Garden) and a host of other
networks (I _hate_ channel sharing, but then, we have the absolute
worst cable system in the state!)  Oh yeah, Entertainment Tv is one
of the others that share.  I digress.

I first noticed it a couple of weeks ago when Prime/MSG/ET showed Leeds
United versus Samdoria in the Makita Cup.  I was channel-flipping at
the time:  Midnight on Friday.  Dang!  I missed 30 minutes.  The show
goes from 11.30 pm to 1.00 am (so I reckon they don't show a "full"
90 minutes when you allow for adverts).  Good game.  Yeah -- saw that
one where Batty tried to chuck one of the Italians out of the stadium!
Idiot.  Playing hard is one thing, but that was too much.

I saw a game the following week (I forgot what game already...) and then
missed it a week.  [Warning, author may be brain damaged].

Watched the Spurs versus Everton match last Friday though.  Good game.
I was impressed with the constant action.  Beardsley looked good enough
to win back his England place.  Can't argue with a goal every away game.
Some _teams_ can't manage that!  Considering England's recent form (I'd
rather not) he'd look better than half the other morons.

I've checked the TV Guide already.  No English footy listed this week!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks very much for the match report, Graham.  Fantastic job!

Even _I_ am impressed at Gresley's great start.  Winning 5-2 away in
a brand-new league... unheard of!  And we're still in the FA Cup too!

Thanks to others who e-mailed me with the good news as well.
