| 1272.1 | Nothing but football all week!! | MACNAS::JDOOLEY | On the way | Wed Oct 13 1993 13:03 | 6 |
| It is now 3.00 pm local time here in the Galway plant.
It is VERY quiet here as most of the plant population have taken the
rest of the day off to watch the BIG MATCH.
Since I am not the sporting type and have no inclination to watch
soccer when I don't understand it , I am still here.

George,
Don't fear. The way I understand it, a win today would have guaranteed
Ireland into the Cup at the top of their group. However, a loss today
does not mean they're out of it!

Yes that's true. However, I don't think we're good enough to win in
Belfast. By my calculations, a draw in Belfast combined with a win
for either Spain or Denmark would see us through, I think ;').

| 1272.10 | We need to win. | BERN02::OREILLY | There's a fish on top of Shandon swears he's Elvis. | Thu Oct 14 1993 08:39 | 11 |
| Current standings (from memory):
Denmark 19
Spain 18
Ireland 17
If we draw that puts us on 18 but Spain have a superior goal difference.

| As of todays Irish Press the possition is as follows;
P W D L F A Pts
Denmark 11 7 4 0 15 1 18
Spain 11 7 3 1 26 4 17
Ireland 11 7 3 1 18 5 17
N.Ireland 11 5 2 4 13 12 12

Albania 12 1 2 9 6 26 4

| 1272.12 | A draw might do after all. | BERN02::OREILLY | There's a fish on top of Shandon swears he's Elvis. | Thu Oct 14 1993 11:13 | 13 |
| I was counting 3 points for a win.
So based on the table ...
We win we go through.
We draw and Denmark win or Spain win by 2 (or more) we're through.
Right?

| 1272.13 | | CLADA::DODONNELL | Nothing personal.It's just business. | Thu Oct 14 1993 12:52 | 7 |

Spain don't have to win by two or more. A one goal victory for Spain
and a draw for us leaves ourselves and Denmark on the same goal
difference. However, we have scored more goals than Denmark, so we
go through on that basis.

I can attest to that, having come all the way up on the bus from Cork
that day only to find the place deserted.
There were a few stalwarts at least, so it was not all in vain.
Sorry I missed everyone.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT
From: The Irish Voice Newspaper.
A. Ireland beat Northern Ireland
Effect: Ireland qualify, reardless of result in Seville.
B. Northern Ireland beat Ireland
Effect: Spain and Denmark qualify, regardless of result in Seville.
C. Draws in Belfast and Seville
Effect: Spain and Denmark qualify
D. A draw in Belfast and Denmark beat Spain
Effect: Ireland and Denmark qualify
** E: A draw in Belfast and Spain beat Denmark in a high scoring game
Effect: Spain and Denmark qualify
** F: A draw in Belfast and Spain beat Denmark in a low scoring game
Effect: Spain and Ireland qualify
** The possibilities "E" and "F" depend on goal differences. Denmark
are +14 goals. Ireland are +13. If the November 17 games leave
Ireland and Denmark on the same goal difference, the team that has
scored the most goals will go through. At present Denmark have 15
goals and Ireland have 18 which is why it would matter how many
times Denmark scored in Seville, even if they were beaten.

North........1
Quinn
South........1
McLoughlan
Spain........1
Herrera I think
Denmark......0
The Spannish goalkeeper was sent off early in the game. But a second
half header from Herrera put us through.
Jimmy Quinn gave the North the lead after about sixty five minutes
with a brilliant volley. Tuam man ;') Alan Mcloughlan equalised
a few minutes later. It was an agonising wait for the final whistle
in both games but we made it.

| Congratulations to the Republic. I reckon most Scots, like me, will be
rooting for them in the USA.
I hope that Jack picks Paul Byrne of Glasgow Celtic for the squad. He has
only played about half-a-dozen games or so but he looks like a mighty fine
player.
All the best in the USA,
Mark

yeh,
well done guys!
I bet there's a few "sarry heids" in Ireland today.
We didn't get the game live here, we had to watch the bore in Bologna.
But it was a great laugh when San Marino took the lead in nine seconds.
The fastest goal ever scored in World Cup football.

| R.O.I WORLD CUP GROUP AND FIXTURES
===================================
Ireland were drawn in Group E along with Italy, Mexico and Norway. It's
not going to be easy, but all the best.
The fixtures (with venues) are :
18th June Ireland v Italy (New York)
24th June Ireland v Mexico (Orlando)
28th June Ireland v Norway (New York)

It's a tough group and I reckon Irelands toughest match will be against
Mexico in Orlando. The incredible heat will suit the Mexicans. Of
course Norway and Italy will also be hard. I'm not overconfident of us
making it to the next round but if we can beat Norway and draw with
Italy and Mexico, then who knows?

| Hey Mr. Laptop! Long time no see!
Eddie Andelmann said last night that the Nigerians had rented the
Boston Garden the night before their match for a rally! He also
said that the visiting Koreans will go out to eat in Roxbury for
Seoul food.
