Was it Scotland against the Faroe Islands or someone like that. I remember them playing someone and they didn't turn up.

[Jim J]

This sounds impossible, please put us out of our misery by the end of the day.

[philipl]

You score with the last kick of the first half. Your turn to kick off second half and score from that move. But I don't know how the third happens...

[Ricky]

I'm sure scotland got awarded a 3-0 in the game that the opposition didn't turn up in. Surely that would be the answer.

estonia. you're right tho.

[Eddie]

He's already ruled that out. I'm thinking it has to be a situation where teams are scoring own goals. There doesn't seem to be any other way. I know there have been stuations in which teams have intentionally scored own goals. It doesn't really seem to make sense though, please put us out of our misery.

If you mean the one in the France '98 qualifiers, we weren't awarded the victory (although there was talk of it). The game was replayed at a neutral venue.

[Tango]

Surely even if one team scored 3 own goals, the other would have to touch the ball from kick off?

[hynot]

How about this? Just before half time you score an own goal. Then kick-off and score without the other team touching the ball. Immediately the ref blows for half time. You then kick-off to start the 2nd half.

[hynot]

Since when do you kick off after scoring a goal?

397220[/snapback]

After an own goal.

[bodrum_blue]

Score an own goal so you kick off and score - ref blows for half time - you kick off 2nd half and score. You have scored 3 goals and other team hasnt touched the ball!! Simple.

[AggyBlue]

Nah, it's table football, playing against my missus, it's easily done

a) when did this actually happen?

why do you need the ref to blow for halftime? you could just score as many own goals as you wanted without them touching the ball.

You need a life Eddie

"In 1996, miniature Arsenal striker Paul Dickov decided he'd had enough of the

managerial turmoil at Highbury (three managers in the previous 18 months: George Graham, Bruce Rioch and Stewart Houston) and jumped ship to Manchester City. There he managed to play under a variety of bosses as the managerial reins went through a further four pairs of hands before the end of the calendar year (Alan Ball, Steve Coppell, Phil Neal and Frank Clark)."

Once Clark went in 1998, Dickov only saw one more outgoing manager at Maine Road - Joe Royle, in 2001 - before heading to Leicester the following year. Once there he saw the back of Dave Bassett, before switching his charms to Blackburn, where bothGraeme Souness and Tony Parkes have left during his stay. That leaves the Scot with 11 departed managers during his career,

Mark Hughes, you have been warned ...
