    Didn't know where else to put this:
    
    Chatting over lunch, a colleague mentioned that he had been to the
    stadium where Juventus play in Turin.
    
    It suddenly struck me that I have absolutely no idea what 'Juventus'
    means. Is it an area of Turin? Or is it a translatable Italian word?
    
    Ta,
    
    Ian.

    Dundee?

    Ian.

    
    Can someone please tell me which team Gazza was playing with when
    Vinny Jones grabbed his nuts.The incident made a name for Vinny
    Jones and I believe a clothing company use the picture on their
    adverts.
    
    I`ve got 20 quid on this.
    
    Davie

Newcastle, wasn't it?

He was on Danny Baker's show on Saturday, and they showed the picture.  He was 
definitely wearing Black and white, so it must've been the toon (unless it was a 
short spell with Notts County!)

    
    Thanks lads I`m so happy D.Rankin can now pay up!

    I've seen the picture,and it is definately Tottenham,as the sponsors

    I think you'll find that Alan Smith has scored over 100 goals for the
    Arse as well (Yes I find it hard to believe as well 8-))

    
    RE:29
         Was Gazza not playing for Durham miners welfare reserves and
         Vinny was with Hackney Northern area u-12's in the North/South
         Horlicks challange trophy preliminary round at Lesser Sellafields

    Paul Parker of Manchester United ?

Dear noters,

In football history in what seasons have major teams from the same city
won major trophies??

For example, in what seasons have both Liverpool and Everton won trophies?
Or Manchester City and Manchester United?

I ask this question following Evertons win yesterday to reach the FA Cup
Final.

/kev

1993

Arsenal - London Coca Cola Cup
Arsenal - London FA Cup

looks like they will be the only team in North London to win a trophy this 
year as well.  8-)

    Team "A" get a penalty,No9 steps up to take it,but he gently kicks the 
    ball to his left,for his teammate No8 who has timed his run so he did
    not enter the box untill No9 had touched  he ball,he "No8" then runs on
    to the ball intending to score ,the GK has then started to follow the
    ball,when No8 then squares the ball back to No9,who tucks the ball int
    an empty net,as the GK has started to move towards No8...You do know
    what the hell I'am going on about,don't you???????????
    
                          Greg.
                                            

    
    Yes... it was allowed....!!!!

     

A penalty is just a special form of a direct free-kick.  The only thing
to avoid in no.9 keeping onside.

    Greg,
    
    No goal on two points:
    
    1) the kick must be 'forwards' not sidewards
    
    2) if no 8 entered the penalty area just as the kick was taken it was
    too soon. He must wait until the ball is in play and that means it's
    travelled its own circumferance.
    
    You can then book 8 & 9 for arguing ;-}
    
    Peter

    
    
    If thats the penalty that was shown on telly the other night, I suspect
    it is, then the goal stands. Don't ask me the rules and regulations but
    it was and is perfectly legal.
    
    Danny.

the goal stands no problem, Johan Cruijff dit it once when playing for
Ajax, he played the ball to the left were Jesper Olsen was comming in,
Olsen played the ball back en Cruijff made the goal. I believe the
goalkeeper of Hemond Sport, Otto Varseveld, is still standing there
not knowing what had happened. The ref. allowed the goal without
hessitation.


T_ 

The goal is correct, if No.9 has passed the ball forwards !!

In Austria I remember such as goal and the following discussion.

Heribert

    
      RE-53,The ball DID go forward,as well as sideways as shown in my
     "Great terminal drawing"
     
      RE-54,It was shown on tv on a programme called..oddballs...
    
      RE-55,It could have been Cruyff & Co,as it was on Dutch tv,
    
    
          The look on the goalkeepers face was not to be missed!!!!!
                              Greg.

    
    
    How about this one. It's a cup semi final and the game finishes
    a draw after extra time, so it goes to a penalty shoot out.
    
    The kicker hits the penalty, the ball hits the bar and is on the
    way back out, it hits the back of the keeper and goes in.
    
    The ref didn't give the goal........was he right or wrong..???
    
    Colm.
    
    

    
    That depends. Was it Ian Right or Lee chang Wrong that was the ref ?
    
    

    In my opinion.... it's a goal!!!  I saw this happen in world cup play
    and the goal stands.  The play is dead only after the ball is out of
    bounds, in the net, or stopped by the keeper.  The kicker can not kick
    it again, but since the goal is part of the field, it's like the ball
    hitting a stone and then going into the net as it bounces off the leg
    of the keeper.

    				Jeff

    Can someone confirm exactly the date England won the World Cup 
    in 1966?

    Question : The Cup Winners in Wales get to play in European
    competition, why is there no 'cup winner' from the state of Monte
    Carlo?
    
    Ian

    
    Because the Principality of Monaco has decided not to have a
    federation. Therefore the football activities of the Principality are
    ruled by the French Federation of Football (FFF).
    AS Monaco is then participating in the French Championship.
    There is no Monaco's national team.
    
    Pierre-Yves
    
    P.S. Monte-carlo is a town of the Principality of Monaco
    
    

    
    First of all, thanks.
    
    Second, I'm sorry about *MY* confusion around the town and the
    principality, I tried TOO hard to get it right.  :-)
    
    Third, the lack of Federation makes the difference, the Welsh teams
    have their own Federation, and National team, however, they still play
    in the English Leagues.
