QuoteCeltic finished 2nd in 1982/83, not Aberdeen.Originally Posted by Poor Student
I actually missed Niall Quinn.As for Roy Keane, I did know that he was assigned the no. 6 shirt for 2002, but he wasn't actually at the World Cup.
Uli Stielike is correct.

What happens, in terms of qualification for next years CL if Everton finish fourth but Liverpool win the Champions League ?
Its not only this year but every year.
UEFA ask the FA for their four representatives to play in the CL.
It is usually 1,2,3 and 4 in the league.
The CL holders do not qualify automatically but the FA have said (i believe) that if Liverpool win the CL and come 5th that they will put them forward for the Champions league and Everton will go to the UEFA Cup.
That is what I have heard, I am open to contradiction if anyone knows any different.
Yeah, thats correct 4 is the max number of teams from any association that can play in the CL. And if there is a clash (eg Everton 4th, Liverpool 5th but CL winners) then the FA would have to pick which team would go into the CL and which into the UEFA. It hasnt happened so far in the CL, but could happen this year with Liverpool, Inter and Bayern (but they would have to drop a lot of points).
The FA needn't be too worried. Liverpool won't win the CL this year.

Well I doubt Bayern will need to rely on it they look reasonably sure of getting a spot. Didn't realsie that five couldn't qualify. I think that's actually unfair as while it obviously favours stronger associations there is still the matter of a meritocracy.
Traditionally a team that wins a European competition (other than Super Cup) has the automatic right to defend that title unless they qualify for a superior competition. Also English/Italian (remember Inter can do it as well) teams have performed consistently well enough to earn the places they currently have allocated in Europe, otherwise they wouldn't have as many places.
Therefore the financial loss bound to be incurred by one due to the success of one side in a different sphere, and that is the key word success, of another while they reached the sufficient point of success themselves would penalise a club unfairly. In the case of almost any club qualification can make a world of difference financially. Therefore if they have done enough on merit within their specific sphere the governing body UEFA should have measures that accommodate all parties.
I reckon it's all hypothetical anyway as I think Chelsea are going to win the Champions League.

Michael Owen scored his first goal for Liverpool at Anfield against Spurs on November 8, 1997. Liverpool won 4-0.
Toto Schillaci scored 6 league goals for Juventus the season after he was leading scorer in the World Cup, 1990/91.
One European Championship qualifying game was cancelled by UEFA in 1991, after several postponements beforehand. Which one was it?
When was the last championship that Italy, and Spain both failed to qualify for?
The last championship they both failed to qualify for was Euro 92. Don't know the other one.

Was it something to do with the Balkans ?
well i'd imagine one of the teams was yugoslavia since they werern't allowed in euro 92,hence the reason denmark qualified as ye all know.don't know who the other team was
Life isn't all beer and football...some of us haven't touched a football in months
Yugoslavia originally qualified for the finals after playing all their games, and winning their group, which included Denmark, and Northern Ireland. They qualified in November '91, and were excluded in May '92. So it wasn't them.
It seems that nobody is going to get the answer without help, so here's a clue. The 2 teams involved, both played against Ireland in the next qualifying series. It should help.
Albania vs. Spain was the game in question. I'm not sure why it wasn't played, but it had presumably had something to do with the fact that neither team was still in contention by the final round of matches.
Technically, a second answer exists to this question. The originally scheduled fixtures between East and West Germany were cancelled as a result of reunification.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Who were the RCS?
If I'm not mistaken, it stood for "Representation of Czechs and Slovaks", although that smacks of a convenient English rendering of the acronym. The constituent republics of Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on Jan 1st 1993 (I think), half-way through the qualifying campaign for World Cup 1994. A representative XI known as the RCS completed their fixtures (and almost qualified too; if memory serves, they missed out due to a 0-0 draw with Belgium on that fateful day of November 17th 1993.)

Yep, good enough!
Romania and Belgium qualified from the group; Wales had a chance, but I think Paul Snodin hit the bar from a penalty at home to Romania which would have seen them through instead.
Which Russian Football Club is owned by General Gromov the man who was the last Commander of Soviet Forces in Afghanistan ?
Er, that's actually wrong...
The F.A. was formed on 26th October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern on Great Queen Street, London. The idea belonged to one Charles Alcock. The Associations primary aim was to formalise and unify the rules of football. So there.
Football is life. The rest is mere detail...
The F.A. and The Football League are two different associations!
The F.A. as you say were formed in 1863.
The Football League was formed in 1888, which was the correct answer to the question you asked!

Fair comment, point taken, I hold my hands up, I apologise etc...The F.A. and The Football League are two different associations!

You're quite right, I actually meant F.A. but for some inexplicable reason I put F.L. Sorry.
