APOLOGIES. For the somewhat erratic nature of the availability of France's top football internet site, but Lycos have been upgrading their servers and as we are dependant upon them for our site hosting, at times the site was unavailable. Hopefully the work has now finished successfully, so you can fully enjoy www.allezredstar.com, by far and away the best footie internet site in the country !

COUPE DE FRANCE. The long road to the Stade de France begins for Red Star with a trip across the city to play PH outfit VILLEJUIF. They may play five divisions below Red Star, but in the cup anything can happen and Red Star will have to be on their guard if an upset is to be avoided. A good cup run this season would help the Saint-Ouen club, especially if they can progress and pull a "big" club out of the hat. Note that normally Villejuif play on an artificial surface; this may not be acceptable for the Coupe de France, and the venue may yet change. AllezRedStarcom will keep you informed of any developments. Rendez-vous, Sunday 8th October, 3pm CET in Villejuif.

DISMAL. Red Star return from another long trip to Brittany with nothing to show for it, apart from a potential long suspension for striker Greg Lefort, send off as he was making his way back to the touchline after being substituted. He is alleged to have said something about the referee as he left the pitch.

Grégory Lefort
Grégory Lefort makes his way off the pitch following his red car. Khaled Kemas would have to wait to enter the fray.

It took a mere five minutes for the home side to take the lead, some awful defending gifting a bad clearance to a Plabennec striker who whacked the ball home from a good twenty yards. Red Star were completely invisible in the first period and a fine move ten minutes before the break saw Boulain double the lead. Although Red Star were much brighter in the second period, the sending off of Lefort compounded with a two goal handicap was too much to surmount and the third goal in injury time merely added insult to injury.
Red Star have now gone four games without a win, and more alarmingly have found the net only once in six hours of football. Not yet reasons to sound alarm bells ringing, but with matches coming up against Auxerres' reserves, Bois-Guillaume, Rennes and runaway leaders Villemomble (away) it is hard to see how the lurching ship can be righted. The injury list and missing attackers is ominous; although on the positive side Khaled Kemas was back against Plabennec, Benmesmoudi is injured, Da Costas' season is already over and Lefort risks four or five matches of enforced absence. Coach Naidon will have to act before Red Star are drawn into a relegation battle.

OTHER SCORES. Reserve team coach David Giguet was pleased with the performance of his team as they ran out 3-1 winners on Sunday afternoon against Noisy-le-Sec reserves. Elysée MBanza and Christophe Haguy scored the first two goals following good work from Yannick Berthier. Although Noisy pulled one back with one minute remaining, Red Star sealed the fine win with an injury-time penalty converted by Davidson. As a curtain-raiser to the game, Red Stars' under 18s drew their first league game of the season against recently-relegated Racing 0-0. Meanwhile in their first ever game, Red Stars' third string registered a superb 10-0 win over Neuilly-Plaisance. Finally, Red Stars' under 15s (DSR) drew 3-3 at Le Blanc-Mesnil.

EMPTY-HANDED. Red Star came back from their long trip west to Britanny with nothing after going down to their first defeat of the season in the championship. Beaten 2-0 at Vitré, Bruno Naidons' men must now pick themselves up ready for another even longer trip west to play Plabennec.
The game was forgettable; after a period of Red Star domination burly central defender Eugène Kangulungu was adjudged to have brought down a Vitré striker in the penalty area, despite the fact that the man never even fell over. The hotly-disputed penalty was dispatched by home captain Yannick Courteille. In the seconfd half Red Star never even got into the game and the home side were rewarded when on a breakaway Fresnel doubled their advantage. Despite the goalscorer later receiving a double yellow card, it was too late for Red Star to react and so they experienced the sensation of a league defeat for the first time this season.
The match left the injury list extending with striker Geoffroy Da Costa carried off on a stretcher. Red Stars' attacking options now become even more limited with Kemas still doubtful, Benmesmoudi out for an indeterminate period, Lefort struggling to find form and now Da Costa on the treatment table. Perhaps a new signing could be on the cards.

LONG JOURNEY AHEAD. Tomorrow morning, Red Star make a very long away trip to far-off Britanny to face Vitré, a club that finished effectively third last season (if reserve teams are not counted). In the Coupe de France last season Vitré reached the last sixteen before going out to L1 club Lille 0-2. Coach Bruno Naidon will have the returning Cédric Rogin available and following this evenings' training session the picture will be clearer for the availability of the injured players Khaled Kemas, Grégory Lefort and Eugène Kangulungu. Because of the Inter-Companies Tournament organised by Red Star this evening at Bauer and Joliot-Curie, Red Star will be training using the facilites in nearby Pierrefitte. Tomorrow morning the players' bus sets off early in the morning to make the 325km trip to Vitré. Next week there will be a TGV train provided to make the enormously long trip to Plabennec.

INTER-COMPANY TOURNAMENT This evening Red Star FC 93 and the employers' organisation Medef 93 Ouest are holding the first inter-company tournament at Bauer and Joliot-Curie. The event starts at 5pm CET and the eventual winners will receive a new trophy, the Coupe Jules Rimet. The companies are all big-name ones and include amongst others television channels, a taxi company, car dealerships and so on. The draw for the groups was carried out last Saturday before the PSG game.

OTHER RED STAR TEAMS Red Star reserves do not have a championship game this weekend, but a friendly has been arranged. Details to follow. One of Red Stars' under 15s sides takes part in a Cup game at Neuilly-sur-Marne, Sunday at 1-30pm CET at the Stade Georges Foulon. Red Stars' under 18s get their championship underway on Sunday at Bobigny against Brétigny.

NO GOALS BUT PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT. Watched by over a thousand spectators, Red Star were held to a goalless draw by Paris Saint-Germains' reserve team. Grégory Lefort was denied by the visitors' goalkeeper and Renaud Miherre flashed a shot narrowly wide after a slick build up move. In the second half the Parisiens were the stronger and almost won the game with a head-on from a free kick, and Red Stars' Yoann Djidonou made a remarkable one-handed save to keep out the visitors. Red Star keep their unbeaten run going and also notch up their third clean sheet of the season, but the missing Kemas and Rogin up front meant that attacking possibilities were always going to be limited even though the introduction of Geoffroy Da Costa midway through the second half did provide alternatives.

Featured in the PSG line-up was the stocky Uruguayan Christian Rodriguez, who has already featured in several first-team games since his arrival in the capital. Rodriguez posed problems to the Red Star defence, especially in the latter period of the game.

LAST GASP EQUALISER DENIES RED STAR. It took a last-minute equaliser for the home side to deny Bruno Naidons' heroic Red Star a fine away victory at Rouen on Saturday. Watched by a crowd of over 2000, Red Star took the lead with their first real attack of the game, Greg Lefort spinning on the penalty spot to lash home a volley. Rouen pressed and pressed and although Red Star held out for nearly an hour, in the dying seconds of the game substitute Duhamel bundled the ball into the net to earn a draw. There was a hint of hand ball in the initial control of the ball, but perhaps on the balance of play a draw was a fair result. For Red Star the result is nevertheless a positive one, Rouen being one of the pre-season favourites for the title.

Prior to the game, there were one or two minor incidents between the two sets of supporters, but in general the match went off without a major incident.
