Actually it was Paul Bodin. I think they actually needed a win and they lost the match if memory serves me correctly so that probably wouldn't have been enough.

Yeah it was 1-1 when they missed the peno and subsequently lost 2-1.
Lived in London and the BBC switched from the San Marino-England game to the game in Cardiff for the peno and then stayed with the coverage for the rest of the game. The Ingerlanders weren't happy. Twas the night we played in Windsor Pk.

Italy and Spain last failed to qualify for the Euro Championships in 1992, as A. Stu said.

Sheridan got the other one right. Albania-Spain was the qualifying game that UEFA cancelled in December 1991, after several postponements, due to the political situation in Albania at the time. They both ended their campaign with 7 games played, while France won the group, having won all of their 8 games. Albania and Spain were in our qualification group for USA '94. Spain won 5-1 in Tirana in September 1993.

Which team played in the FA Cup 3 years in a row at Wembley in the last 10 years, and never won the Cup?

When was the last time that the FA Cup semi-finals were both played at Wembley?

Tut tut, you neglected Kilcohan Park, a dog track still, and more importantly the former home of the Blues

Newcastle played at Wembley in 1998, 1999, and 2000. They lost 2 FA Cup finals, and lost a semi-final there also.

The last time the semi-finals were played at Wembley was in 2000.

Since their promotion to the Premiership in 1993, How many seasons has the Premiership game between Liverpool-Newcastle being played at Anfield first, before the return game in Newcastle?

I think it's only 2. This season and in the 2002-03 season.

I asked this question before but didn't get an answer:
When was the last time that neither Celtic nor Rangers finished in the top two of the Scottish League?

Kerry Blue got it right. Since Newcastle's promotion to the Premiership in 1993, the Liverpool-Newcastle fixture has only been played at Anfield twice before the return game in Newcastle. The seasons were 2002/03, and 2004/05. There was another season when it was scheduled to be at Anfield in 1997/98, but as Princess Diana was killed on the day of the game, the game was postponed until after the two teams played each other in Newcastle.

The first Monday Night Football Premiership game shown by Sky at Anfield, was Liverpool-Arsenal on the first Monday of the 1996/97 season. Liverpool won 2-0. There were Monday Night Football Premiership games from Anfield shown before then, but the games were played on a different night in the week.

Who won the first FAI Senior International Player of the Year Award in 1989?

When was the last European Cup final not shown live on British tv?

Prior to Hampden in 2002 what was the last Scottish ground to host a major European Final? When was it played? And who were the participants?

1976 European Cup, Hampden Park, Bayern v St Ettienne?

**Aberdonian Stu** · 18/04/2005, 12:46 PM

Nope, more recent and not Hampden.
