Many thanks EuroRab.

The 11th match of Round 1 was another long played out affair.Eventually the tie was won by "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by TEARS FOR FEARS (very popular amongst the fitba casual scene of the 80's ).It will now enter the 2nd Round as a seed and joining it in the 2nd Round (albeit unseeded) will be "Atomic" the no.1 hit for New Yorkers BLONDIE,which finished in 2nd place.Eliminated at the first hurdle were "Straight To Hell" by The Clash and "Everyday Is Like Sunday" by Morrissey.

All 4 songs are amazing in my opinion, I dont mind who goes through, but will be a bit sad to see two  get eliminated at this early stage.

Cant really separate Fade to Grey and Once in a Lifetime though, hope they both go through...

Flip of a coin, my vote goes for Talking Heads.

I'm gonna have a wee think on this yin.

Really cannae decide between 2.

May end up voting tactically.

Once in a Lifetime.
