Off Topic... But I just gone to my 1st Israeli Football Match

hey guys hope your all well, i've just been to my 1st Israeli Football Match and it wasn't bad, probably league one standard really if I compare it to English Football, was Maccabi Haifa v Hapoel Haifa so local derby

 

Good for you, what was the score?

 

3-1 to Hapoel. 1-0 to Maccabi at half time and then Hapoel just ran away with it scoring quite early on to level and then get a 2nd. Tickets were free as well lol.

Still I miss seeing City play

 

I had a customer in West Africa who was originally from Israel who was very successful business wise, and he became involved, I think as chairman, with one of the top Israel teams, I think it was Haifa. He put lot of money into the club and got himself in to terrible financial problems because of it, which resulted him in taking his own life. Really sad case and an extremely nice guy.

 

very sad, there should never be anything that makes you take your own life or get to that stage

 

I agree, but I guess sometimes you get in so deep you cannot see a way out.

 

It always amazes me as to when you start a thread you just never know what direction they are going to take. Hope you enjoyed the game mate. Sad story though.

 

yeah was a good game, different atmosphere to the KC

 

Were they free just to stop all the haggling?? Imagine 20,000 gate and every one saying 15 sheckels for a ticket? You must be mad!! It would take ages. Sorry Adam couldnt resist. Are you affiliating yourself to a club? Whats the difference between Maccabi and Hapoel? Rich against poor or East v West?

 

Free to the Ulpan, everyone else paid and no haggling lol. And never I'm a Hull City supporter through and through. Not sure what the difference is... 1 is better than the other lol
