What rubbish....and where did u hear that from/

from uefa's web site

[48-1119859832]

fresh news: the uefa may decide that if the match wont be in tel-aviv also the first match wont be in anfield and the two games will be played in two neutral stadiums (that seems fair to me)

I agree with that.

Obviously that's rubbish.

[HantsRed]

It won't happen.
Why should our team lose revenue and home advantage from a home game just because we have been drawn against a team in a war zone?

and why we should because we drawn with a team that we uefa is doing what ever liverpool decide and tell her even that before the drawn with the "great" liverpool uefa told us that the games in israel if tel-aviv dont get any missile but suddenly they change their mind when we drawn with livepool even that nothing happend to tell aviv!!!!!
that's obviously a discrimination.

I agree with that.

Why ?

[maccabi haifa zona]

Haifa plays Maccabi Netanya tomorrow and the game is broadcast live on Sport 5.

From what I understand, WebTV which is available at http://www.seeisrael.tv/seeisraelnewsite/english/index.asp allows you to watch this channel for free for three days (as a trial), so you can watch the game tomorrow.

However, this service is not provided to Israel due to legal issues, so I can not check it out myself.

The game starts in 15 minutes, you may want to try that program.

Haifa conceded a late goal and the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Pennant                  Alonso                          Gerrard                   Kewell

                             Fowler                          Bellamy

[aCe']

mmm....
                                 Reina

Finnan         Carragher            Hyypia           Riise

                    Alonso              Sissoko                 
                         
         Gerrard                                    M.Gonzales
                                 L.Garcia

                                  Bellamy


Subs: Carson.. Paletta.. Aurelio.. zenden.. pennant.. Fowler.. Crouch

Would'nt mind seeing Garcia playing a more RightWing role with Gerrard on a free role in central midfield ! pennant could come into the starting 11 if Gonzales isnt fit for the game !

[kitster]

if theres a cease fire then theres a good chance this game will have to go ahead no excuses.

Unfortunately, there is no way at all the game will take place in Israel, even if we sign a peace treaty with Hezbollah, Iran and Syria.

"JERUSALEM (AP) - A court of arbitration has upheld a decision by European soccer's governing body to order two Israeli teams to play UEFA Cup games outside of the country, the Israel Football Association said Saturday."

The football association had appealed to the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport, world sport's highest tribunal. The appeal was rejected due to safety concerns raised by Israel's ongoing fighting with Hezbollah and Palestinian militants - the reason for UEFA's original decision.

Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC will now play its home match against Domzale of Slovenia in Tilburg, the Netherlands, and Bnei Yehuda Tel-Aviv will switch its home game against Lokomotiv Sofia of Bulgaria to Bratislava, Slovakia.

Both UEFA Cup matches will be played on August 10.

"In view of the circumstances there is no room to grant the requested injunction which would cancel UEFA's decision," the court said, according to the Israel Football Association release.

Bnei Yehuda spokeswoman Ronit Ashkenazi said her team was disappointed by the decision, but it wasn't a surprise.

"We are well into our preparations to host our match in Slovakia," she said.




Well.....thats the case for the UEFA CUP.... dont see why it should be any different for the Champions League !

HERES SOME NEWS :

                       MACCABI HAIFA, the Israeli club, have approached Dynamo Kiev about the prospect of staging their Champions League third round qualifying tie against Liverpool in Ukraine.
The final decision will rest with Uefa, European football’s governing body, but after Dynamo agreed in principal to Haifa’s request, it appears certain that Liverpool will be spared a trip to war-affected Israel. Uefa is expected to confirm the decision on Monday.



The Lobanovsky Stadium has a capacity of only 16,900, but although Liverpool may push for the game — due to be played on August 22 or 23 — to be held at a bigger venue, the Merseyside club are likely to accept any ruling that ensures the safety of their players, staff and supporters is not compromised.

Haifa had been keen to play the game in Tel Aviv and Itzhak Menachem, the president of the Israeli FA, has accused Uefa of bowing to pressure from Europe’s top clubs to switch venues.

“I was approached by people from the Israeli club and also Israel’s ambassador in Ukraine, Naomi Ben-Ami, who asked if it would be possible to play the game in Kiev,” Igor Surkis, the Dynamo president, said.

“I gave my provisional consent and said that security during the match would be guaranteed. The Ukrainian football federation have already been informed about our initial agreement, as any final decisions over the staging of the game must be taken by them and Uefa.”

i post that earlier and have read in a couple of other websites since !
