There 1 hta- shot that Coton managed to parry. Robson strode in to meet the rebound in the familiar manner bkjt shot wide. By then United could have been comfortably ahead. Following Saturday's 5-1 rout of Southampton, and in spite of the absence of the injured Strachan and Whiteside, they attacked Watford with a revivalist fervour and might have scored three times in the opening 10 minutes. Olsen was tackled by Bardsley in the act of shooting, Terry cleared a cross-shot from Davenport off the line and a header from McGrath hit a post.

Watford took a long time to achieve anything quite so clear-cut. They had won well at Norwich without the injured Barnes but now missed his capacity to surprise a tightly organised defence. True, Turner had to move sharply to push a 20-yard shot from Richardson round a post just past the half-hour but United began the second half confident of dealing with anything more than Watford's attack had to ofler. Although, crucially as it turned out, Roberts had replaced Sterling at half-time. McGrath looked the last player to let them down Uncharacteristically he dwelt on the ball in the 74th minute, allowing himself to be dispossessed by Roberts who exchanged passes with Cal-laghan, running wide to his right as he did so, then turned back to score confidently from a narrow angle.

Afterwards Askinson refused to talk either about the game or reports linking with Aston Villa. But there was support for United's manager from Bryan Robson who said all the players were backing Atkinson. Watford: Coton; Talbot, Hoslron, Richardson.

Within the space of 48 hours Paris, Barcelona and Seoul, where the 1988 Olympics will be held, have all suffered the: malaise which touches every aspect of society. The Olympic Games has long been an attractive platform for those with a cause apart from sporting excellence. Hitler used it in 1936, so too did those on the wrong side of the distorted values in Mexican society when the Games were held there in 1968. The cries of students and academics for the world to take note of the deprivations most Mexicans suffered were brutally and bloodily put down they were chillingly ecnoed this week in beoul. where five people were killed and many injured by an ex plosion at the city's airport, atter which the government closed classes in two universities.

The bombing was timed to coincide with the start of the Asian Games and the meet ings of the executive board of the International Olympic committee. Members of the Secretariat were in the airport at the time of the explosion, but no one was hurt. During the Olympic meet ings in the city last April security was stifling at times and after yesterday's bombs a further 100,000 police will be deployed at the Asian Games. South Koreans have the double worry of keeping watch on North Korea 38 miles away, and at the same time trying to suppress internal dissent, mostly from col leges and universities, to their harsh regime. The SOCCER An 18-year-old Welsh substi tute last night reminded Man-more to a revival than the return of Bryan Robson.

Iwan Chester United that there is Roberts, with only one full first team appearance behind him, scored the goal that won the game for Watford at Vicarage Road and left United still forlornly placed near the bottom of the First Division with four defeats and just one win from six matches. Ron Atkinson, the United manager, watched glumly as his team wasted a 'host of chances and then lost an eminently win-nable game following a mistake by their most consistent player, McGrath. Speculation continues about Atkinson's future with the latest rumours wishing him to Villa Park. He has already spoken of stabs in the back and this seems a particularly cruel cut. Neither he nor the watching England manager, Bobby Rob-son, could take much comfort from the performance of Bryan Robson whose long lay-off has left him sluggish and looking a trifle portly with the opening European Championship game against Northern Ireland only a month away.

At the start of the match the England captain flexed his anatomy anxiously like a man whose muscles are tied with granny knots. Happily he was able to last the distance but neither he nor Moses, back in League football for the first time in nearly a year, showed anything like their old snap and tenacity. Yet Robson seemed to be on the point of ending Watford's dogged if uninspired resistance just before the hour.

1 Those who are asking to stage the Games have different influences and pow- ers to the organising V. tee set up by the winninc 1 city. For them security will be one of the first priorities in planning every aspect of the Gaines. There may have'T." been insensitive haste restarting the Munich Games ') after the murders, but it was the first time that the fibres and sinews of the movement were shown to. grow stronger by such an au- "r-dacious challenge to its 'r existence.

The president of Seoul's Olympic Organising Commit- tee, Park Sen-Jik, yesterday assured Olympic officials that' Seoul would make greater efforts to ensure tight security- -r at the 1988 Olympics. Howe hopes for call and the management that they are third in the table with the only unbeaten First Division record. Whatever the nature of the trophy or the make-up of the sides, this was still a derby and the Kop were in fine voice. They had every reason to be, for after six minutes Rush had put Liverpool ahead. Nicol, back in the first team for the first time this season, saw his shot touched on to the post by Mimms, and You Know Who was the first to the rebound.

Everton fought back with considerable determination, indeed you might have supposed they were playing for their places, They were rewarded for their resilience and spirit when, after illespie had fouled Wilkinson, Sheedy struck a magnificent free kick with the outside of his left foot past the wall and Hooper. Liverpool had been pushing the ball about with their custo CRICKET SCOREBOARD Two goals by Ian Rush, the second after a superb build-up involving Dalglish and Nicol, saw Liverpool take a 3-1 lead after a highly entertaining first leg of the short-lived and un-lamented Screen Sport Super Cup at Anfield last night. This competition, you might remember, was an alternative to playing in Europe. Rather like looking forward to a week in Venice and then being told by your travel agent it's Birmingham or nothing well, there's a canal, isn't there After one year the SSSC is to be boxed up and buried but not before either Liverpool or Everton, emerging from the tangle of last year's fixture list, get their hands on the 25,000 first prize Everton need the money the most with a doctor's bill as long as an anaconda. Rather than play yet another match, Everton must have wanted to plead for a nice long holiday on medical grounds and then start again.

It is a tribute to the reserve players ROUND-UP Robert Graeme Pollock of South Africa, one of the world's batsmen of recent times, is to retire at the end of the 1986-S7" 11 season. Pollock. 42, who plays for Transvaal, made his Test debut during South Africa's 1963-64 tour of Australia and his last; representative matches in the coming months will also be against Australians but this time a rebel team led by Kim Hughes. Pollock's outstanding achievements include a first-class century Don Howe, the former Arsenal manager, is not among the 16 applicants for the vacancy at Aston Villa but is still seen as one of the favourites for the job. "Sometimes clubs advertise, but in general they know who they want," Howe said yesterday." Bobby Robson's right-hand man added I want to start getting involved with players again and the sooner the better," writes Cyril Chapman.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Second Innings ((torninhl 1M fnr dl Japan onen their eight-match tour of Scotland and England toe-ay oy meeting the south ot Scotland at Melrose, a game in which they will inevitably be at a great disadvantage in neight and weight. This is the constant problem for the Japanese.

They aim to counter their difficulties with the quickness and slickness of their passing and running, and they have invented some ingenious methods of winning the ball from the lineout against much taller opponents. This tour is of particular significance to England be cause japan will be in Jung-land's group in the World Cup in Australia next May. The tour also gives both Scotland and England an early opportu nity to continue their World Cup preparations with international matches. Scotland meet the Japanese at Murrayfield on September 27. and England play them at Twickenham on October 11.

The Japanese will be hoping to use the tour to imnrove their chances of a good show ing in tne world cup. Their tour of France a year ago can not have done their morale much good. They lost all their six games and were defeated by France 50-0 and 52-0 in the two internationals of the tour. Yet Japan have, proved they are capable of spectacular performances. When England, for example, went to Japan in 1979, they only scraped home at Osaka in the first of the two tests.

Japan led 19-15 until the very end when Peter Squires went over for a try and the trusty boot of Dusty Hare sent over the winning conversion. In 1983 the Japanese nut on a marvellous display of running and passing against Wales at Cardiff Arms ParK. The final score was 29-24 to Wales, but the Japanese won the hearts of the crowd of 32,000 with their daring and dashing approach to the game and with their fearless tackling. The World Cup group in which Japan and England play in May is complemented by Australia, and the United States, with the leading two going through to the quarterfinals. A Iain Paxton's late with drawal from the South of Scotland second row gives another chance to Alistair Campbell of Hawick, writes Donald Stewart.

Also playing will be five French internationals and eight past or present British Lions, including Pierre Berbizier, Jeff Squire, Bobby Windsor, Gerard Cholley and Dominic Erbani.

Northampton rallied vigorously in the second half of their Midland Merit table match against Nottingham last night. But a try by Jones, and a conversion, drop goal and penalty goal from Hodgkinson gave Nottingham a 12-3 half-time lead which could not be overhauled. BOXING Mittee takes to the mike Sylvester Mittee, the former British and Commonwealth welterweight champion, won a controversial decision over American Willie McGee in Leeds, last night. Mittee was hnnpd aftpr referee Brian HOCK intervened after lmin 25sec of the fifth round. McGee had Mittee back pedalling for most of the time, nosed him some considerable problems, and although caught by a solid left seemed capable of going on.

McGee's manager Dave Byers protested vigorously at the decision but Mittee, upset by the crowd's booing, took the microphone from the MC and said I appreciate your concern if you thought tne fight was stopped prematurely, Dut tne game has to oe made safe."

But shortly after half-time McMahon headed in directly from Dalglish corner, no one picking him up on the edge of the box, and then a magnificent pass by the Liverpool manager sent Nicol scurrying away, his perfect centre finding Rush for Liverpool's third.

Celtic have been warned by a most authoritive source that there will be no canter against Shamrock Rovers in Dublin tonight when the Scottish champions start their European Cup campaign. The Republic's goalkeeper Pat Bonner says Rovers are one League of Ireland Club who take themselves very seriously and will provide strong oposition in front of art all-ticket 18,000 crowd.

Bonner said yesterday "Rovers are the most professionally organised club in the Republic and probably the one team which can compete in Europe with a real chance. It all stems from when Johnny Giles was manager a few years age he got them thinking as a big-time outfit."

The Mcrseyside derby persuaded all but 20,000 Liverpudlians to stay home and catch up on Brookside, while only 2,515 turned up to see Portsmouth extend their promising run in the FMC with a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace. Vlnce Hilaire opened the scoring against his old club in the 36th minute after Palace had provided most of the early running and within 13 minutes the game was settled when the recalled Kevin O'Callaghan added to Kevin Dillon's effort to make it 3-0.
