Nobody got it. 1989 was the answer. The semis in the following year, saw Bray beat Derry 2-1 in Bray, and St. Francis beating Bohs 1-0 at Tolka.

Superhoops was right regarding the Euro question. Ireland went out in the first group stage, while Turkey won the tournament at the RDS. Ireland won the tournament 4 years later.

Rovers won the FAI Cup 3 years in a row in the 80's. Who were the next team to beat Rovers in the Cup?

Anderlecht led 3-0 at Werder Bremen with an hour gone, in the Champions League groups in December 1993. What was the result?

Werder won the match 5-3!
They got the 5th in the last minute. I think they also won the return match 2-1.

Question:
Name 4 current Premiership managers who's managerial position immediately prior to their current one, was being in charge of a national team.

**pineapple stu** · 07/02/2005, 12:45 PM

Nope.

Bohs beat Longford in 2001, Longford won in 2003 and 2004. Someone in between...
