Three goals scored on their travels, but on the other hand two goals conceded at the end and his men hanging on for the win. « We conceded two goals due to a lack of concentration. Nothing new, Red Star have already thrown points away - but we've never had a three goal lead ! At half-time I warned the players, if they lost this one it would be entirely due to themselves. On the balance of play we made more opportunites than they did. This win allows us to move forward, which is important with the restart (of the championship)" Phil Cuervo - hard but fair.

Big Franck had virtually sealed the win with his first goal for the club, playing now as a striker rather than a left-back, in the shoes of Chris Sutton or Paul Warhurst. The win over PSG is also Red Stars' first double of the season, following a 2-1 home win at Bauer back in October. Jean-Luc Girard was happy with the win, coming on familiar territory for Gigi, having spent many years at the Camp des Loges as a trainee with PSG. OTHER DH SCORES.

VIPS. Yesterday afternoon Stade Bauer and Red Star welcomed a couple of visitors from the UK. Kim and Pete had originally come across for a long weekend, with the intention of taking in the Red Star v Meaux game on Sunday. As compensation, they had a four-hour guided tour of the facilities at Saint-Ouen (Offices, the stands, changing rooms...) plus the chance to meet the staff & players. Thanks to Gérard, Red Stars' management, coach Jean-Luc Girard and the groundsman for making it all happen. Pete had once seen defender Philippe Cuervo playing for Swindon and they had a long chat together. Although our intrepid voyagers didn't get to see a match this time, they promised to try and pop across for a match in the future. On Sunday Pete & Kim were taken for a guided tour around Paris... to see some of the capitals' football grounds, albeit from the outside, as they were all locked up for the day.    Kim & Pete between the sticks, and right dreams of being the coach    Left, in the supporters' shop, and right, deep in discussion with Philippe Cuervo    Red Star's new signing !

RED STAR v POISSY. On a blustery plastic pitch at Poissy, Red Star and their hosts ground out a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon. Alhaji Baldé provided the equalising goal for Red Star. Jean-Luc Girard used the match to push defender Franck Guei up into the attaque. A positive result, altough Poissy were without one or two first-team regulars including former Red Star man Arthur Gomis. Photos : Rémi Saillant.      Middle photo - Poissy's goal RESERVES. Red Stars' reserves lost at Tremblay-en-France 1-2. GAMBARDELLA. The next round of the Gambardella cup still hasne't been fixed. In practice the game should take place at Stade Bauer on Saturday 14th February or Sunday 15th. Details to follow. COUPE DE PARIS. The draw takes place this week. The match will take place over the weekend of the 14th / 15th February. EVENTFUL TRIP TO DOVER. Worksop Town FC were due to play a rare match in the south of the UK on Saturday in the FA Trophy, against Margate who are currently gound-sharing with Dover Athletic at the latters' Hoverspeed Stadium. A good chance to see the Tigers, closer for us than for the travelling Tigers' fans. So the editorial team of www.allezredstar.com set off by car from the French capital. A windy day out in Dover.... driving conditions were appalling all the way up the A16 from Paris - by the time we got to Calais we knew we were in for a rough crossing. Rang a friend in the UK up from just outside Calais - he was on the M11 heading south, said that there would be a pitch inspection at 12 o'clock UK time. The previous evening Dover FC had told us that the pitch had cleared up nicely, and providing that it didn't rain too much the game was still on. The crossing wasn't that bad, but someone had obviously suffered - they had completely missed the bowl in the bogs on the ferry and had completely redecorated the cubicle. Just as we entered UK waters the fatal phone call from just outside the Dartford Crossing - "It's off". Told my fellow travellers, but no mutiny on the "Pride of Kent", just disappointment. Anyway, after a hearty pub meal in a hostellery just down the road from the stadium, we visited the ground. Luckily the groundsman was still there, and we had the chance to inspect the ground and the pitch. It was green, very green. A beautifully maintained pitch - credit to Dover Athletic. However, it did look a bit dodgy in places, and might have cut up quite badly as the game wore on. The wind was the worst, though, with huge gusts which would have made the game a lottery. Virtually a gale. So, after a few photos, on to a spot of shopping at Tescos to get stocked up on mushy peas & baked beans (can't get that at Auchan or Carrefour !). Then a quick run up the A2 to Canterbury. At the ferry on the way back, no crossings at all - luckily we managed to get our return swapped for a single on the Tunnel. Back home in Paris at around 3am CET. Oddly enough, we've got some people across from the UK to watch Red Star v Meaux on Sunday - that was cancelled too.    Outside the stadium with a Dover official, and right, the stadium    Windy, very windy; right - Red Star invade Dover Athletic FC
