Liverpool play war torn side maccabi Haifa Israel

[El Jefecito]

1st reason:
How could you be 100% focused on a game when a bomb could explode anytime in the area?
When Chelsea had to play there a few years ago, most of their players didnt want to go...

2nd reason:
for political reasons, I would boycott Israel who are violating international rules for decades now

I commend you for your 2nd reason.

Good stuff. In future please could you keep any fantasy you have about being an insider to Koptalk or suchlike, there's a good chap.

seriously, get a life. it's people like you who ruin websited with your constant sniping.

he never once claimed to be an insider you merely jumped down his throat. i think it's safe to say that the players wouldn't want to go there. you only have to read rafa' thoughts to see that.

as i said get a life!:whatever:

We should play home & away at anfield. Offer them a good whack of the gate receipts and they'll be happy. They're going out wherever they play

I don't care what advice the Foreign Office give, Israel is being attacked by over 100 missiles a day and there is a high risk of suicide bombings.

Tel Aviv may be safer than area's near the West Bank and Gaza strip but no way is it safe, the country is at war. Here is one small part of the travel advise the foreign office give:

We advise against all travel within 2km south of Israel’s border with Lebanon following the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers there on 12 July,

The rockets travel further than 2km that's for sure, so how can you be safe there?

Our goverment allow Israel to get away with some deplorable actions, we call their opponents terrorists for similiar crimes. If it did not say in the bible that the jews belong in the "holy land" it would be a safe bet Bush and Blair would have a different attitude.

The Reds will ask UEFA to switch the tie away from Israel with Holland or Slovenia emerging as possible alternatives.

[univofchicago]

Holland or Slovenia?

Holland would be nice.

It would be like a home game I reckon...

Not a bad draw after all

[SouthAfricaRed]

They should switch the Game to Athens. Give us a bit of practice for The final

[mchaggis]

Slovenia would be more like a home game

[mchaggis]

I've heard that Rotterdam is the most likely destination with Celje 2nd option

[Le Chacal]

Slovenia would be more like a home game

I assume you're from Slovenia...Im going to Zurich on tuesday

[RedJersey]

I assume you're from Slovenia...Im going to Zurich on tuesday

?? Bit of a non sequitur there mate.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a "non sequitur"? ...

HeHe. Literally means 'does not follow'.

I was sort of expecting you to say "I assume you're from Slovenia... I'm going to Ljubljana tomorrow."

Just ignore me.
