554.2ITALIA '90GAOV08::DKEATINGYou Can Observe A Lot By Watching !Thu Apr 27 1989 13:0226
    Well while we are talking about soccer...you fellow celts out
    there might be interested in last nights world Cup qualifying
    results...
    
    			Rep of Ireland  1 - 0  Spain
    
    		      Northern Ireland  2 - 0  Malta
    
    			      Scotland  2 - 1  Cyprus
    
    				 Wales  0 - 2  Sweden
                                    ( friendly )     
    
    This is a great result for the Republic as Spain were unbeaten in
    this group. Northern Ireland also had an impressive win and we can
    expect a close battle from them and Hungary for the final qualifying
    place in this group.
    
    Scotland have by now virtually *secured* their ticket to the World
    Cup Finals in Italy next year and well done. Wales lost a friendly
    game at home to Sweden(a team that are in England's group). England
    won 5 - 0 last night against Albania and now top their group, but
    they can expect diffucult games away from home against Sweden and
    Poland before they can be sure of getting to Italy.

554.4<Info on matches folks!!>KBOMFG::KEYESMon May 08 1989 05:5015
    Greetings folks!!!!
    
    Have any of ye folks got the dates for the next round of Matches
    in Dublin???????..Any problem with tickets...One of the Austrian
    TV channels was previewing the World Cup situation for next Summer
    in Italy.They were saying how Ireland were almost certainly there and how
    some cities were pushing very hard to have the Irish camp based
    in their respective places..Seemingly they reckon that the when
    the "Irish Circus" rolls into a place its like a festival..The were
    talking to this bar owner from Stutgart who was saying how he more or
    less payed off his debts etc on the basis of the amount of beer
    he sold to the Irish fans last June....
    Roll on Italy!!! 
    
    
554.5�?EGAV01::DKEATINGYou Can Observe A Lot By Watching !Mon May 08 1989 13:4623
    The next series of matches to be played in Lansdowne Road are
    
    against Malta...Sunday 28th May.
    
    against Hungary...Sunday 4th June. 
    
    A win in both these matches will put us in good shape for Italy.
    
    As for tickets well thats another story...since our 1-0 victory
    over Spain demand has rocketed...and something like 75%(or more)
    of stand tickets have been allocated or block-booked. You should
    get terraced tickets though...which go on sale this friday for the
    Hungarian game...so get in contact with your official FAI agent. 
    There could be in excess of 50,000 people at these games.
    
    re The Stuttgart publican's comments...I'm sure money was the main
    reason but also *no-trouble* is a major factor...Irish fans are
    less likely to demolish his pub after *demolishing* his beer!!!
    
    - Dave K.
    
    ps Bob Dylan plays a concert in the RDS(up the road) the night of
    the Hungary game...some double bill eh?

    .Thanks Dave..We managed to arrange some ticketsfrom some one over
    in Dublin...Reckon it would be a brave man who would plan to get
    to that Bob Dylan concert that night....Theres a rumour Dermott
    o' Sullivan will be giving us a few tunes down in Toners on that
    Sunday night !!!!!!!!!

    Hey Pat and Kevin about the 'thanks for the advance WARNING etc'
    I hope yous are referring to Dermot and not Mr Zimmerman :-)

554.10Ireland was Ireland, when England was a pup ...STEREO::BURNSCeltic ThunderTue May 09 1989 16:1820
    
    Dave: The WARNING was in reference to our old� pal Dermot, but as
          they say in Hollywood, "You ain't heard nothin' yet" ....
           
    
    	  Dublin won't be the same after America's "Hottest" Group
    	  "YE-3" appear this summer as part of their Euro_Tour 89' ...
    	
                                                            
    	Culbert on the Badhran  --- 
        Burns on the Button-Box ---
    	And maybe even a "Surprize Guest" or two on vocals    :-)
                  
    	If James Galway is "booked-out", Dermot is welcome to join us.

    > Eurotour....
    
    Sounds like someone better warn the pubs in Dublin..Maybe try and
    setup some cages to keep the bottles and glasses away!!.I can see
    a few guest vocalists ok.....like maybe the barman screaming OUT!
    OUT! GIVE ME PEACE!!!!
    
    Theres a few wee places in North Tipp which would suffer ye as well.
    Its ok.. the poteen is available early so everyone is tone deaf...
    they like Clare folk at the moment also ..great for the practice
    match in the Munster championships!!!
    
    Looking forward to the sessions

554.12The Real McCoyDUB02::OSULLIVAN_DThu May 11 1989 13:3012
    
    I can categorically deny any rumours that YE-3 and mygoodself are
    to come together, even for some limited engagements.  I just don't
    see it working out and to cramp my style and artistic freedom would
    be a grevious disservice to my loyal fan(woof).  BTW, what's the
    plural of fan - Van?
    
    Although he will deny it, the momentous occasion of my first Kerry
    concert in the company of the Clare/Scottish postman has led to
    a whole bandwagon of look alikes imitating my inimitable style.
    To put it bluntly: YE-3 ARE A SHAM and a shabby imitation of THE
    REAL THING...

    Hey keVin.....
    
      I think that our (once) good friend Deromt is about to break up
    this most successful group.....
    
      This is a sad day indeed 8*(
    
    Any one out there interested in filling a whole in the world renown
    group YE-3?

    P.S.  Hell I always thought that Dermot sounded like a allycat calling
    his mate at midnight anyway....8*)

    In your case Dermot I'd say it's 'fangs' :-)

    Somebody told me they heard Boston was a possible venue for Ireland on
    or about July 4th.  Anybody hear this?

    I doubt that they could fit Ireland into Boston.  Massachusetts maybe.
    
    How're they moving it?

554.19Ireland in Boston - MaybeRUTILE::BAGGOTTTue May 10 1994 04:2714
    There are 4 possiable veneus for Ireland's second round matches.
    these are  
    	LA  July 3th
	Orlando July 4th
    	Boston July 5th
    	New York July 5th
    
    If Ireland play and win the match in Boston then their 1/4 final match
    will also be in Boston on July 9th.
    
    We would have to finish third in our group for this to happen and evan
    then it's  50/50 that we'll be in Boston.
    
    Eddie.
