Hi Gerry, Thanks for the attachment - vics moderator's frown notwithstanding! I've found that it works as advertised, so far. It'd be interesting to discover a similar style spreadsheet for the Premiership when that's going on, more complicated though it would be. Are you still following Chelsea? Reckon you have to be! Pity the sspecial One' couldn't be a little more gracious in defeat! Me, I follow Everton, as I always have. I'm not anti-Liverpool, though, as the diehards are.

Please find attached a spreadsheet for keeping tabs on the World cup over the next few weeks. a nice feature is that when you record all the results for the first round, the teams that go forward to the next round are automatically put into the correct boxes. this works right through to the final on July 9th. The starting times shown are those in Germany, so take away one hour to get Irish starting times. For all games, place the scores in the two boxes between the names of the two teams. For the first rounds of matches, just put the result into the appropriate boxes. If the game is a draw just record the score and no further action is required. In subsequent rounds, the competition becomes knock-out, so there may be extra time and even penalties. In this case, record the score after 90 minutes in the usual boxes, then record the result after extra time or the result of the penalty shoot-out in the next two boxes after the name of the second team (i.e. columns g and H). for those who don't have excel, there's always paper and either a pen or a stylus! For those who don't like football, there's always suicide! By the way, I didn't write this thing, it was on a web site (a reputable one). More information is available there. www.excely.com Enjoy. take care, Gerry Ellis t/a Feel The BenefIT Tel (+353-1) 282-7791 Mob (085) 716-8665 email gerry.ellis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you don't know where you're going, How will you know when you get there?
