SPORTS GUARDIAN Wednesday January 11 1984 22 David Lacey on the draw for the European Championship Unseeded Belgium a threat to France Sandra Stevenson in Budapest Dean defends 'illegal' Bolero West Germany have never been quite the same since losing to Algeria in Spain in the last World Cup. Their prosaic, overtly physical advance to the final lost them many admirers and their struggle to top their qualifying group in the European Championship has offered few hints of an improvement. However, as England know to their cost, West German teams are at their most dangerous when they are underestimated. If Karl-Heinz Rummenigge can regain full fitness and his younger brother Michael has not been spoiled by premature acclaim sides who may have reached some sort of peak-by June. The tournament should be improved by the decisipn ta return to knock-out semifinals in which the winners of Group One will meet the runners-up in Group Two and vice-versa.

Mercifully the anticlimactic third-place match has been abandoned. Of course if the contest goes according to the seed-ings France will play West Germany in the final in Paris on June 27. The thought of Schumacher, the West German goalkeeper whose stiff-arm tackle on Battiston in the 1982 World Cup semifinals was the ugliest memory of a often unattractive tournament, facing a Parisian crowd has a certain appeal. British interests in yesterday's proceedings were confined to the draw for the quarter-finals of the European Under-21 Championship. England, the holders, play France while Scotland meet Yugoslavia.

qualifying. The match in Paris will provide an opportunity to put Simonsen, Laudrup, the Olsens and their colleagues into sharper perspective but by that time Robson and his players will be in South America for Brazil's 75th anniversary tournament. Belgium, unaccountably unseeded, could prove a bigger threat to France than the Danes. They have retained many of the players who lost to West Germany in the 1980 final and although Van Moer, their main inspiration, is no longer there they still have the organisation to thwart the likes of France and Denmark, who like to open a game up. On the evidence of their recent draw against Wales and their narrow win over Bulgaria, Yugoslavia will do well to win a match but form in the qualifying competition can be a poor guide to what happens in the finals.

Even so the decision to seed the Yugoslavs rather than the Belgians is a mystery. SOCCER THE CHANCES of the 1984 European Championship producing football to compare with the memorable 1976 play-offs rose slightly yesterday when the draw for the finals was made in Paris. The present format of the tournament makes it unlikely that the standards of skill and excitement set in Yugoslavia eight years ago. will be repeated on such a scale, but there are reasons for hoping that the matches this summer will be more compelling than the largely drab affair witnessed in Italy in 1980. One half of the draw is full of intriguing possibilities.

France, the host nation, have been grouped with Denmark, Belgium and Yugoslavia and will begin the tournament with a game against the Danes in the Pare des Princes on 12. West Germany, twice European champions and second CHAMPIONSHIP DRAW AND FIXTURES vill and Dean's original set pal-tern presentation in the British Championships with two marks of 5.9. The Soviet coaches do acknowledge that the routines are superb artistic works. Dean said yesterday that the routine was also extremely difficult. "This is by far the most difficult programme we have ever done, not only technically but also because the one single tempo dictates that everything has to match every single moment of the programme.

And besides' that, it is much more emotionally demanding," he said. Meanwhile the undisputed king of school figures, Jean-Christophe Simond from Paris, maintained his supremacy yesterday morning by winning all three school figures by a. comfortable margin. The defending champion, Norbert Schramm, from Oberstdorf, did a poor first figure in which his rocker turns were off centre. Although he made up some ground on the second figures, he lost that in the left back change loops and lies sixth.

The favourite is now Alex-under Fadeav, from Moscow, a spectacular free skater who is lying fourth behind Jozef Sabovcik from Bratislava and the West German Rudi Cerne. The defending women's singles' champion, Katarina Witt, won last night's short programme section. The 18-year-old gained the top marks from all nine judges and displaced the Russian Elena Vodo-rezova, who then withdrew. The British champion. Susan Jackson, was in 16th place.

FA CUP 3RD ROUND REPLAYS: FIRST DIVISION TRiO PREVAIL NEW CHANCE FOR COVENTRY, SCUNTHORPE 4, Luton 3 (aet) is might for Watford SKATING Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean faced the hot arc lights, one of which was so hot it. exploded, for a battery of television cameras from the US, Canada and Britain at the European Championships in Budapest yesterday, and countered statements by the coaches of two of the Soviet couples who are their principal rivals, that they are doing illegal moves in their Bolero routine. Tamara Tarasova, the coach to Natalia Bestemianova and Andrei Bukin, who won the 1983 European title in Torvill and Dean's absence due to Tor-vill's shoulder injury, said after viewing their Bolero that the music was slow and monotonous and that there were illegal elements. Elena Tchaikovskaya supported her colleague's views. However Dean said the routine had been accepted by a panel of judges at the British Championships which included Lawrence Demmy.

Demmy. who won the first four World Championships between 1952-55 with Jean Westwood, is chairman of the ice dance committee of the International Skating Union the committee which devises the rules of the sport. Demmy is the referee for the ice dance championship which begins here tomorrow morning and ends on Saturday afternoon. He awarded both the "Bolero" routine and Tor John Samuel Stenmark SKIING Ingemar Stenmark, the 27-year-old Swedish triple World Cup winner of the Seventies, won his first race of the season and the 75th of his career at Adelboden yesterday. He took the fourth of the season's 11 giant slaloms with a total time of 2 min 27.36 sees followed by Austria's Hubert Strolz, 68 hundredths slower for the two runs, and Switzerland's Pirmin Zur-briggen third, 12 hundredths further behind.

Stenmark was joint fastest with Marc Girardelli, an Austrian skiing for Luxembourg, in the first run and tiuickest in the second. Asked if he seeds, are in what appears to be the easier group. The draw has given them Portugal, Romania and Spain, none of whom could be described as a dominant force in international football. The success of the championship will rest, as ever, on the prowess of the home country. Unlike the "World Cup, host nations have not made a habit, of winning the European title.

Italy were the last to do so and they needed a replay to win the 1968 final against Yugoslavia. French hopes will depend on a number of unpredictable factors with the mood and form of their players uppermost among them. They still take their cue from Pla-lini and when he is at his best the influences of Gir-esse, Rocheteau and others are that more profound. Denmark beat France 3-1 in a friendly in Copenhagen a fortnight before their 1-0 victory at Wembley which proved to be the mortal blow to England's chances of David Lacey Watford Light HOMEWARD BOUND George WHOEVER wins the FA Cup this season, the remainder of the competition will do well to equal the numbing excitement of last night's match at Vicarage Road, in which Watford defeated Luton 4-3 to earn themselves a visit to Charlton Athletic. The match was quite right-lv described bv Graham Taylor, the Watford manager, as pure, raw entertainment." Having already recovered from being two goals down to force a draw at Kenilworth Road, Watford twice appeared set for an emphatic victory when they led Luton 2-0 and then 3-1.

However, Luton, inspired by lihe artistry of Walsh, Stein's pace and skill, and Horton's tireless industry, took the game to extra time only to be beaten by Johnston's tenth goal in 11 games, since joining Watford from Partick Thistle. After Saturday the match was always likely to be an open, engaging affair, but few in the crowd of more Reilly (right) scores Watford's second goal. CROUP 1 France, Denmark, Belgium, Yugoslavia.

June 17 West Ger though not the pattern of the play, looked disappointingly one-sided, but then Walsh began running at opponents in a manner which could hardly have failed to impress the watching England manager, Bobby Robson. With vitrually the last kick of the first half, Don-aghy brought Luton back into the match, beating a statuesque Sherwood after Stein had fooled the defence by dummying over Aylool's return ball. Five minutes into the second half Watford restored their two goal lead with a marvellous goal, so typical of their style. Jacket! won the ball deep in their half, Callaghan sent Barnes clear with a long diagonal pass and Sea-ley was beaten by a low drive hit on the run from 20 yards.

Watford looked relieved but Luton, in spite oi the absence of the injured Hill, refused to release the grip they had established on the mid-field. Sherwood's remained arboreal and two goals from Walsh in the 65th to score from beyond the far post through a morass of ankles and knees. Crainie, formerly of Celtic, had hit the post with a neat free-kick just before the Coventry equaliser and then, in extra-time, set up Eves for a header that looked easier to IS Wriggled clear Clive Everton Bell brothers for GB the Germans may well make the most of their good fortune in the draw.

In taking the remaining eight reds, he potted six more blacks and two pinks before clearing the colours to complete his total clearance.

Terry Griffiths dropped the opening two frames before beating fellow Welshman Colin Roscoe 5-2 to reach the last eight The longer the match proceeded the more the former world champion's experience told. ROUND-UP Phil Shaw Harford breaks the ice THE WEMBLEY dreams and schemes of Sheffield United ana Bristol City, presently slumming in the League's lower reaches, came to nought in replays last night although both bowed out to First Division opponents with dignity intact.

Birmingham's first home win in nearly three months was a long time coming against Third Division United. Nine minutes remained when Mick Harford's header broke the deadlock, and a Billy Wright penalty with three minutes left ensured a flattering win and a fourth-round visit to Sunderland. Iain IVIcCtilloch's first goal of the season secured Notts County's trip to Huddersfield in front of Bristol City's best gate for two years more than IG.OOO. County went ahead three minutes into the second-half, Brian Kilcline joining the attack to head in a corner. Glyn Riley had.

an "equaliser" disallowed two minutes Ipter, and McCulloch's deft ir.Vividual effort after 72 minutes killed off the Fourth Division side's hopes. Another team from the Fourth, Swindon, clinched a home tie against Blackburn on January 28 when they ended Carlisle's 15-game unbeaten run with a 3-1 win in Wiltshire. Jimmy Quinn, who had earlier planted a header against the bar, put Swindon in front after 40 minutes. Carlisle's David McKellar let a Paul Batty shot slip through his hands in the 72nd minute, and although Alan Shoulder's penalty briefly gave hope to the Second Division outfit, Andy Rowland put the outcome beyond doubt eight minutes from the end. Plymouth, who saved their all-Third Division tie against Newport in injury time on Saturday, won the right to entertain Darlington in round four when Andy Rogers scored (he only goal with six minutes left, RAY" TRAIN has returned to Oxford United after a loan spell with Bournemouth, for whom he played in Saturday's FA Cup win over Manchester United.

Train was unable to agree terms with Bournemouth for a permanent move. BERTIE AULD, one of Celtic's European Cup-winning side of 1967, was yesterday sacked as manager of Scottish First Division club Hamilton Academicals because of inconsistent results." Auld, 45, had been with the club for just under a year, first as honorary managerial consultant, then as manager from June 1 when John Blackley left to join Hibernian, CRYSTAL PALACE chairman Bon Noades confirmed yesterday that the club would be happy to accommodate Chelsea if they are forced to move temporarily while Stamford Bridge is being redeveloped. Patrick Barclay Scunthorpe 1, Leeds 1 (aet) Dey the brightest light A CROWD of 13,129, the largest at Scunthorpe for 10 years, were well served last night and the least the home side merited af'er 120 minutes' of unstinting effort was a third chance to knock Leeds United out of the FA Cup. The after-match toss of a coin went their way, so he second replay will be at the Old Show Ground on Monday. Allan Clark's team, second from the bottom of the Third Division, made the greater contribution to an absorbing match and it would have been cruel had a goal in extra time by ''he Leeds striker, Tommy Wright, celebrating his 18th birthday, settled matters.

All fair-minded neutrals will have joined the home celebration two minues later when another adolescent, Geoff Dey, equalised from 25 yards to ensure justice and at least one more sleepless night for Ian Botham. Dey, a busy little midfield player, was outstanding and along with the experienced Les'er had much to do with Scunthorpe's periods of ascendancy. If their finishing had matched the other aspects of their play, there would have been no need for extra time, but the splendid Cammack never could quite force home the goal his performance deserved and his industrious partner, Graham, missed the most inviting chance shortly before Leeds scored. David Harvey made several difficult saves, plus a lucky one from Cammack's overhead kick, and the all-our-yesterdays flavour was enhanced by Peter Lorimer, who has just returned from Vancouver 22 years after making his first appearance for Leeds as a 15-year-old. During the second half he took a free kick from 30 yards almost a tap-in for in the old days and it whistled wide.

That was about as anxious a moment as Neenan had to endure before extra time when Leeds at last began to look like winners. He then made an astounding save from Ritchie, catching a ball he would have been congratulated for merely touching, but a minute later the Scunthorpe goalkeeper had to admit defeat when Wright took a pass from McCluskey and shot in off his outstretched hand. There was sympathy for a Scunthorpe defence in which Pointon and Green had played particularly well, but the need was removed with Dey's superb drive. Scuithorne United Neenarr Longden, Pointon.

Cheam Or than 20,000 could have expected such a rich mixture of skill and slapstick. Football, we are often told, thrives on mistakes and certainly last night's affair kept everybody in a fever of anticipation as defenders vied with attackers to produce the unexpected. Watford, like cricketers with the sun on their backs, prosper in floodlit games at home. They have only lost three times under the Vicarage Road lights in Taylor's 6 years as manager, and last night much of their football showed a strong sense of theatre, even if at times it was the theatre of the absurd. Watford had scored twice by the half hour.

After four minutes Callaghan ran on to a cleverly stunned return pass from Johnston to catch Sealey off his line with a looping shot. In the 28th. Reilly headed in frfom a corner by Callaghan which the goalkeeper came for far too latp. At that point the score. until after the transfer-listed Wolves forward, Eves, put his side into a 69th-minute lead.

Five minutes from the end of normal time Peake scored the equaliser, and in extra-time neither side had the energy to produce the winner. Eves took his goal well. Humphrey had belted the ball up field, Crainie slipped it through in the process of being tackled, and Eves wriggled between two defenders before, from the edge of the box, driving the ball wide of the advancing Avramovic. The goal was the 6ignal for Coventry to get going and their play improved with the arrival of the substitute, Daly, to mid-field. Burridge was forced to make a fine save from the nippy Gynn Daly flashed a shot just wide, and a few minutes later Peake scored.
