Klukowski starts for La Louviere Friday night with them up 2-1 over Standard Liege, who are 2nd in the league, at the half. Oneywu the Yank scored for Les Loups. Apparently Mpenza is giving the home side defence probs.

Interesting Belgian news has Anderlecht making a move for Baggio.

Richard Hastings did not start for Maastricht, losing 1st half to Sparta Rotterdam 1-0.

From Gillinghams official site:

New Keeper signs:

Gills have signed Spurs keeper Lars Hirschfeld on loan in time for tomorrow's league clash at Cyrstal Palace.

Manager Andy Hessenthaler was already looking for back-up for the injured Jason Brown and the inexperienced Bertrand Bossu, and Arsenal's Rami Shaaban seemed the likely candidate.

But the situation became desperate today with the news that Bossu had broken a finger and the club acted quickly to secure Hirschfeld's services.

He has signed for a month, up to and including the date of the game at West Ham on 27th March, and goes straight into the team for tomorrow's game at Selhurst Park.

The Canadian has played ten times for his country, including two friendlies against the Czech Republic and Ireland in November.

Gills Chairman Paul Scally said: "Bertrand has done well for us in the last two games but we knew we needed extra cover. It's just typical of our recent luck that Bertrand should get injured like this.

"However we have managed to secure the services of another Premiership keeper, following the month spent here by Nico Vaessen, and Hess tells me the lads are really up for tomorrow's game at Palace."

Klukowski played 90 and took a m. 81 yellow as they beat 2nd place Standard 3-2, big win. They are tenth in the league.

Hastings did not get on as MVV lost 1-0 to Sparta Rotterdam.

Lars gets the start for Gillingham in the English first division, they lose 1-0 to Crystal Palace. From the match-tracker it looks like he made quite a few stops, and wasn't helped by his new team missing a penalty.

Stalteri plays 90 for Bremen as they win 2-0 to remain in first.

Sheffield Utd. lose 2-1 to Reading. Pesch came off the bench at some point in the match, not sure when.

Wigan beat Walsall 1-0, De Vos playing 90.

Norwich's match was postponed.

Still no sign of Bent for Plymouth, who win 1-0 to stay atop the English 2nd Division.

Hume vs. Bircham was also postponed.

Seems Rhian Dodds did not dress for Kilmarnock today, they won over Dundee 4-2. Wonder if he is injured, though they have signed striker Invincible who hit twice today, which will cut into his potential playing time.

Dwayne de Rosario played the first hour for the Quakes as they came back with a man down to beat Norway top flight Staebak 2-1 in La Manga Cup, held in Spain. Onstad did not play, 2nd keeper Conway got 90 m. The team is into the semi final of the tournament, to be held on Tuesday.

Olivier Occean scored the 2nd goal for Metrostars over Norway's Bodo/Glimt in a 3-1 win. This comment on Olivier by a Norway fan is on the MLS team's board at BigSoccer: "According to the article i read, Glimt had particular trouble with quick striker Oliver Ocean...guess he had a good game then...". Very good news for the kid. They are likely to be the best 2nd place team and draw Dynamo Kiev in the semis.

From the BBC report:

Hirschfield, on loan from Tottenham, continually thwarted the Eagles but could do little about the goal.

The first clear-cut chance came after 13 minutes to Palace striker Andrew Johnson but his shot was parried to safety by Hirschfeld.

Neil Shipperley had a shot blocked by Barry Ashby after 27 minutes, and Hirschfeld had to be lively again to prevent Julian Gray from opening the scoring with a header.

Hirschfeld denied Johnson straight after the break before the turning point in the match.
