[CollegeTillIDie]

Who was the first player to be shown a red card in an FA Cup Final?

Kevin Moran ( ex-UCD,Pegasus and Bohs) playing for ManUre V Everton in 1985

incorrect

[crazyaxel]

kevin moran is the correct answer!

[De Town]

well i meant the european championships, and the answer was anelka
well you shouldnt have told us the answer :mad:

[Réiteoir]

kevin moran is the correct answer!

Moran is incorrect.

The answer is Reyes at the 2005 Cup Final.

Coloured cards were not used by the FA during the period spanning 1979 until 1987.

So Reyes - although he was the second player to be sent off in a Cup Final - was the first to be actually shown a red card

Brooks Mileson's Allstars, led by the dashing Doctor Kenny Deuchar, entertain - and thrash - all-comers at the "homely" Raydale Park. Why, you can even elope at half-time for a wedding down the road...

:ball: PP

If by that you mean Gretna - then you're correct :D

[Plastic Paddy]

Indeed I do, and their rapid ascent through the Scottish set-up (with Mileson's millions, watch them go straight through to the SPL) just emphasises the lack of depth in the Caeldonian game. But that might start a whole different debate, and I'm tired of all that just now...

:ball: PP

[stojkovic]

This question is total balls and has been doing the rounds for about three years. Anelka was NOT in the French squad that won the World Cup in 1998.

Research.

Well done, Superhoops. ;)

Aston Villa and the red-and-blacks represented England in Europe. Aston Villa lost to Inter Milan in the second round of the UEFA Cup. Having won 2-0 in Birmingham, they lost 3-0 on a paddyfield pitch, in Milan. Liverpool, the reigning English champions, were banned from Europe until the following season.

Austria scored last-minute equalizers against Cameroon, and Chile in their World Cup group in 1998, and another against Italy, but lost that one 2-1, and went out.

What do Italy's exits from the 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups have in common?

How many times have Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, or Belarus met England in a competitive UEFA/FIFA game?

[pineapple stu]

What do Italy's exits from the 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups have in common?
All on penalties? 1990 v. Argentina in the semis; 1994 v. Brazil in the final; 1998 v. Holland or Norway (?) on penalties


How many times have Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, or Belarus met England in a competitive UEFA/FIFA game?
None that I can remember? England didn't play competitive games against non-Home Nations until 1956, by which time, all those were assimilated into the USSR.

[jorge]

1998 v. Holland or Norway (?) on penalties

It was against France in the quarter finals.

Eusebio? Would have been late 60s? Failing that, George Weah?

Palermo.

[M@ttitude]

Heres a question, Who started the sucessful thread Football Q's only to be started again for some reason by this person??

[Superhoops]

In which cities did England play their games in World Cup '90?
First phase: Cagliari
2nd round v Belgium: Bologna
Q/F v Cameroon: Naples
S/F v Germany: Turin

[pineapple stu]

First phase: Cagliari
"Then in Palermo
We played the English
With all the cops there
'Twas worse than Finglas" (World Cup Me Arse)

Think Palermo's right. Didn't see the additional side to the question though - what about the 3rd/4th place play-off?

Thought our game against England was in Cagliari, where England played all their games, may be wrong! Forgot about 3/4 play-off, in Bari aganist Italy.

think Romario in 83/84 won title when playing for barcelona

england palermo or carliagai in the little island off italy cause in case the fans went daft (which is quite common lol)

don't know of the secong question :D

[Superhoops]

Who was the first Non-European player to win the European Footballer of the Year award, and when?
Alfredo Di Stefano won two European Footballer of the Year awards. but I am not sure whether at the time he was deemed to be Argentinian, Colombian or Spanish at the time although I suspect he was spanish. Another Argentinian Omar Sivora who played for Juventus also won the award after Di Stefano, so I would say Sivora is the answer.

[jimbob117]

Eusebio? .


Is he not portugese??

[gustavo]

Who were the last team to qualify from their group for the Second Round of the 2002 World Cup Finals?

?
USA???

[pineapple stu]

Is he not portugese??
He's from Mozambique. Portuguese colony though, so he played for them.

Nope, just checked my video - I'm wrong. Cagliari it is.

[anto eile]

Nope, just checked my video - I'm wrong. Cagliari it is.

FYI .. the Sant' Elia stadium. capacity is now given as 23486.strange seeing as originally it was nearly 60,000, and then for the world cup in 1990 it was 40117

[mypost]

Who was the first Non-European player to win the European Footballer of the Year award, and when?

Pineapple stu, got the answer. Not Eusebio from Portugal, but it was George Weah of AC Milan, PSG, Liberia, and er....Manchester City fame, who won the award in 1995.


Who were the last team to qualify from their group for the Second Round of the 2002 World Cup Finals?

Gustavo won the honours with the USA. They were the last team in order of qualifying to make the WC 2002 secound round, despite losing their last group game to Poland. They only qualified because the other group game, South Korea-Portugal, was not a draw. Germany knocked the Americans out in the quarter finals.


In which cities did England play their games in World Cup '90?

Superhoops got it right. England played their 7 games in WC '90 in Cagliari, with knockout games in Bologna, Naples, Turin, and Bari, in that order.

Check out Omar Sivora again in late fifties/early sixties, I'm sure he was Argentinian

Austria Vienna knocked them out in the next round. The Austrians were knocked out by Juventus on a fogbound Turin night in December. Juventus went on to win the competition, beating Borussia Dortmund in the final.

Which minnow team dumped Liverpool out of the 1991/92 League Cup?

Following St. Francis' merger with Pats in 2001, they withdrew from the league, leaving the 1st Division one club short. It led to their opponents each week that season, having an idle week when they were originally due to play St. Francis. Because of that, one team in the division finished their campaign one week before the other teams in the league. Who were they?

[Superhoops]

Which minnow team dumped Liverpool out of the 1991/92 League Cup?
Peterborough

[mypost]

Which minnow team dumped Liverpool out of the 1991/92 League Cup?

Superhoops again, unchallenged. :rolleyes: :D That was a BAD result. Peterborough won 1-0 against Liverpool in December '91, and have won nothing since. :D

Waterford United were the first club to complete 32 games, and finish their season a week before everybody else in both divisions.



Which team ended AC Milan's long unbeaten run in Serie A strecthing back over 18 months, in 1993?

Who scored Bulgaria's last-minute winner in France in November 1993?

[Sheridan]

Which team ended AC Milan's long unbeaten run in Serie A strecthing back over 18 months, in 1993?
I think it was Parma (vague memory of Asprilla scoring. 2-1?)

Who scored Bulgaria's last-minute winner in France in November 1993? Emil Kostadinov I think. Can still picture that goal.

[green army]

England played all their games in the first phase in italia 90 in caligari. they kept them on that island only and didnt want them moving around causing trouble.

That should read proposed merger... it never actually happened. Francis withdrew from the league witha view to merging with Pats but it never happened....

[CollegeTillIDie]

Is he not portugese??

Born in Mozambique, except Mozambique did not gain it's independence from Portugal until 1975. Eusebio's career was effectively over by then He was in Toronto playing in the NASL by then.

[Superhoops]

And name them
Perhaps it would have more appropriate to ask 'how many grounds have Ireland played home international games on?'

Apart from Lansdowne Road, calling any of the others a 'stadium' is a bit of an exaggeration!;)

[HarpoJoyce]

How many stadia have Ireland played home international games in?

And name them

Fair play for asking a question which links the Republics football history through 3 different centuries.

Were you asking about the Northern grounds as well?
Ireland in the Home International Championship and all.
