    Nice result, Aldridge was given man of the match. He had two excellent headed
    goals plus a penalty with his infamous shuffle. Two of the goals were late
    enough with the last one being an absolute peach - great cross from Irwin 
    and Johnny rose above the defence and targetted it into the top corner.

    Okay Okay so us Scots won't make it 6 in a row :)
    
    
    Terrible performance last night against Switzerland....
    
    Beat 3-1
1122.2Swiss were shocked!BERN02::BYRNEFri Sep 11 1992 03:266
    You should hace seen the Scots supporters in Bern. All there in kilts
    piseed out of there minds, peeing at each other and stripping naked.
    
    It was great - you should have seen the looks on the Swissies faces !!!
    
    Time to show them that its nice to have a bit of life in one

1122.4Spain, Denmark falterCHEFS::HOUSEBMon Sep 28 1992 04:0811
    Two results of importance from last week.
    
    Latvia 0 Spain 0
    Lithuania 0 Denmark 0
    
    Two great results for both the Irish teams with two of the favourites
    from this group dropping points against the "minnows".  Ireland still
    top with 4 points from 2 games.  Denmark are Ireland's next opponents
    away on October 14th (?).

1122.5Good result in DenmarkCHEFS::HOUSEBThu Oct 15 1992 05:3326
    Denmark 0 Ireland 0
    N.Ireland 0 Spain 0
    
    Not many goals being scored in this group.  Two good results for the
    Irish teams and leaves both in good positions in the group.  Ireland's
    draw in Denmark is especially good as on paper this was one of their
    hardest matches.  NExt match for Ireland is away to Spain in Seville on
    November 11th.
    
    Group:
                  Pld     Pts
    Ireland       3       5
    N.Ireland     3       4
    Spain         3       4
    Lithuania     4       4
    Denmark       3       3
    Latvia        3or4    2
    Albania       ???     0   does not matter as they will not figure.
    
    The top 5 still look as though they are in with a shout for any of the
    2 qualifying places but in reality I think Lithuania will fade as the
    competition progresses.  Denmark after three draws are far from out of
    it.

    Despite having dropped a point yesterday, Ireland are still in an
    excellent position. Of the top three, Spain look the most vulnerable.

1122.14 IT ALL HAPPENING IN ALBANIAESSB::KILBANEWed May 26 1993 12:158
    The bad news is......
    
    Albania took the lead after 7 minutes
    
    but the good news is that Steve Staunton equalised from a free kick
    after 14 minutes

    Super sub Tony Cascarino, only a minute on the pitch, got the goal that
    puts us level with Spain at top of the table but with 1 game in hand.

    Tony Cascarino's lineage is certainly colourful. Born in London of
    Irish mother and Italian father. Jack Charlton had some trouble
    pronouncing his name so he called him the Ice Cream man. 
    
    The remaining Irish games are as follows :
    
    June  9th. vs Latvia (away)
    
    June 16th. vs Lithunia (away)
    
    Sept  8th. vs Lithunia (home)

1122.23We are almost there......ESSB::KILBANEThu Jun 17 1993 04:4221
    
    
    An excellent team performance was capped by a 1-0 victory over
    Lithuania in Vilnius yesterday. The goal was created by a Steve
    Staunton free kick which was deflected into the net bt a Lithuanian
    defender in the 1st half. Though we were in total control in the 2nd
    half we got a fright when a Lithuanian free kick clipped the foot of
    Bonnar's post and was headed away to safety by Kernaghan.

    UNNITED STATES EMBASSY STATEMENT
    
    WORLD CUP 94 - VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
    
    
    "Following your countries recent run of football results, and your now
    almost certain qualification for next year's 'World Soccer Thingy'  the
    US Embassy would like to facilitate (barely restrained laughter) those
    intending to invade our beautiful country by advising them of the
    following visa application requirements
    
    * Preference will be given to applicants who are in 'secure
      employment'. Those falling into this category include: 
    
    		- Barristers and other [beef] tribunal staff; 
    		- The executive Chairman of Air lingus;
    		- Those involved in the mugging of foreign tourists
    
    NOT INCLUDED ARE:
    
    		- PAYE workers
    		- Current Labour TD's on the Northside of Dublin
    		- Working stiffs generally
    
    * Applicants with relatives currently residing in the US should submit
      their relatives names and addresses, along with details of their income
      tax submissions for the past five years. This is purely for
      administrative purposes and will definately not be used to rid our
      glorious United States of some freeloading good-for-nothing, to-bit
      damn foreigners, no siree
    
    * Applicants who wish to submit letters of reference from their local
      TD or clergyman may do so. These references will be given due
      consideration and will greatly reduce the Embassy's toilet paper budget
      for 1994.
    
    * Fans arriving in the US with a tatty sleeping bag under their arms
      and a copy of 'America on 50 cents a day' are likely to be refused
      entry. Other banned items include intact photos of Sinead O'Connor, and
      firearms below a certain minimum calibre.
    
    * Finally, a limited number of special visas will be available to those
      not meeting our normal criteria. These include:
    
      		- Saxaphone enthusiasts;
    		- Presidential half-brothers
    		- Non-inhalers generally
    		- And anyone else Hilary can think of.
     
    
1122.25The Irish are not all penniless emigrants.MACNAS::JDOOLEYWeek 1 Dec 1993Fri Jul 02 1993 15:059
    It is interesting to note that Ireland and Portugal are the only
    members of the E.C whose nationals require a visa to enter the U.S.
    So much for European Unity.
    It is also interesting to note that U.S citizens entering  Ireland for
    social or pleasure reasons do not require a visa.
    So much for reciprocal fair play.
    It looks as if the rich have one rule and the poor, or potentially poor
    have another.

    >It is also interesting to note that U.S citizens entering  Ireland for
    >social or pleasure reasons do not require a visa.
    
    Americans are less likely to overstay their welcome. You know quite
    well the reason why Irish people require visas, it's because quite a
    few of them go to the USA and stay there illegally. They spoil it for
    the rest of the people. The Americans are going to have a problem when
    Ireland qualifies for the finals. They can't deny people visas just
    because they believe that some may not return. Perhaps they should have
    considered this before they bought the world cup finals.
    
1122.27US does deny access based on work status.CTHQ::COADYWed Jul 07 1993 14:329
    
    Unfortunately the last note is not quiet correct; the  US can and does
    deny access based on the "employment" of the applicant.  I personally
    know of 2 cases recently - both where a family member wished to come
    over for a wedding in US were refused.  One person worked in a hotel as
    a general help, the other person was a temp secretary.
    
    So I expect that unless the Irish government do some heavy lobbying, a
    lot of Irish people will be refused entry at World Cup time. 
1122.28CSLALL::KSULLIVANWed Jul 07 1993 16:297
    Iraq are currently top of their group and may qualify. This could prove   
    to be an even more interesting dilemma for the immegration department.

     2 first half goals by Aldridge after 3 minutes and Kernaghan(his 1st
     for Ireland) after 22 minutes were enough to get us the 2 points and 
     edge us that little bit closer to the Holy Grail. The 2nd half was
     pure crap but the points are in the bag.
