(I'm Lebanese, Hizballah has the rockets to reach tel aviv)

as a Lebanese, what do you think about the Hizbulla? how can it be that Lebanon army can not control a terror organization in it's own land and needs Israel to fight it?

And also, as you must know, Israel pulled out of Lebanon 6 years ago. What do you think Israel has to do when A terror organization attacks us from Lebanon?

Also Tel aviv, has had an awful lot of suicide bombs. Destroying major buildings. Maybe the LFC team hotel next? We should just refuse to play in the country full stop

I think LFC should just bury the tie at Anfield and send the youth team to Aviv

Better still, ask Everton if they'd like to play a game for us.!

sorry lad, I remember more than just "one terror attack in London" or you forgot about the IRA ? forgot about all those bombs? I don't remember team refusing to play in London ...

"Destroying major buildings"   I am trying to recall such a thing but can't remember ... can you please help me with that? what Major building was destroyd ?
LFC hotel? come on ....

If you want to act like a chicken - be a chicken, but don't invent terror attacks that never happend...

Whats with all this "chicken thing"?...no one here deserves to be labled a chicken just because some (myself included) think it would be unwise for L.F.C. to send a team out to one of the most volitile regions of the middle east and expect us to send our fans over as well. while we are on the subject of tel-aviv being so called "safe" from attacks could you explain to us all if this is the case then why is the Israeli army fighting in Gaza?..I'll tell you why its to stop the rockets that have been targeted on southern Israel so even tel-aviv is not as safe as you would like to have us beleive.

Now, about how safe is tel aviv. I live in tel aviv. you don't.
I KNOW how tel aviv is. you just guess...
I feel safe here. very safe. You try to tell me it's not - but it is really UEFA call now.
I am sure that the game will be here. I am also sure that LFC will come and play here.
Anyone wants to bet

I am an FX trader. I have lots of friends in London. Last week about 60 of them came to Tel Aviv to an Investmanet Seminar we had here.
At first some were afraid. At the the last day (it was a 4 days seminar) they wanted to stay for another week ....
I know that israel looks bad when all your info is from Sky news.
But hey, I see the beaches. I see the pubs and restaurants. I see the clubs and bars ...

You know what - those of you that will come (and I am sure that lots of LFC fans WILL come) - I will buy you beer at the old Tel Aviv port ....
deal ?

no deal....sorry but this is one game i will a miss to. Normally i would have tried to make this match...but my head says no way!..and i think most L.F.C. fans will feel the same way.

LFC can declare themself as winners of each and every game, and just arrive at the finale

Mmm...I'll go along with that idea...or we could just tell u.e.f.a....to FUKK OFF!..the 2nd option sounds more likely to me.

For your safety and for the safety of others, Tel aviv is not safe, i'm hearing alot of cr*p about hizballah not having the rockets that can reach tel aviv, and i'll tell you this,as a lebanese, origins from the south of lebanon, Hizballah has the rockets that CAN reach tel aviv! they call it the "zilzal" rocket or earthquake rocket that can reach up to 200-400 km.

Thats why i don't want this game to be played in israel, for the safety of the people

Tough game as it happens. Haifa have been on the fringes or thereabouts for ages and as such will represent a 'test' (without being disrespectful, i mean a test in qualifying terms) - more so than in previous years.

As such, the first leg is crucial. We need to obtain a decent lead in this game, not only for our Champions League ambitions, but also our league ambitions as well. I don't fancy having majority of the first squad shipped across Europe to play a qualifier. If the first leg renders the second beyond doubt, we could (theoretically) send our second string to get some form of result and retain our freshness in the league and build up to the Champions League Group stage.

This certainly ain't a forgone conclusion - we will need to approach the 1st leg professionally and make sure we get the result we want to ensure our progress is as smooth as possible. A 2 or 3-0 win won't really do in my eyes to completely put the tie to bed - we need to be looking at the 4's n 5's to ensure we can keep the majority of the squad fresh so early in the season.

Yep no deal for me either Noel 

I agree with REDTILLDEAD, I would usually go but my head says don't. If that makes me chicken, then I guess I'm chicken. I'm sure your country is safe but I don't know why but I just get a bad feeling. If it weren't for the war I'd go. I'm sure parts of Israel are safe but it's a country against a country not parts of a country. Whatever you do nowadays there is a risk but I'm sorry this is a risk I and many others will not take.

Maybe it is the fact that the tragedy we faced on that day in April 1989 has a bearing on the club's decision. We have already mourned two horrific days in football (Heysel and Hillsborough) and we want to make sure we don't mourn another one. In ten years time when I'm nearly 25, I don't want to remember something that could have been avoided. Can you imagine if the game does get played in Israel and a few missiles hit the stadium and players, fans, officials etc all lost their lives? It would be horrific. The chances of this happening may be unlikely but there is a chance it could happen. How do you know that missiles don't go as far south? No-one can take that chance. As we know, nothing is as it appears to be. If the match is moved to a neutral venue in another country it gets rid of the risks.

I hope you understand my point.
