Last updated : 08 June 2005 By Covsupport
Claus Jorgensen was on the end of another defeat as his Faroe Islands were beaten 2-0 at home by the Republic Of Ireland.
On a pitch not up to the correct FIFA width and in fog and mist, Ireland who were without the injured Robbie Keane took the lead through Ian Harte with a 51st minute penalty and a strike by Kevin Kilbane seven minutes later. With ten minutes to go, City midfielder Claus Jorgensen was replaced by Tor-Ingar Akselsen.
Scotland, who fielded former Sky Blues Gary Caldwell,Stephen Pressley and gave a debut to Coventry born Graham Alexander, drew 0-0 in Minsk against Belarus. Walter Smith's team remain second bottom of the group and unlikely to qualify for Germany next year.
