By the way today in our 3 big newspaper's was talking about your fans, and maybe that some will cancel the trip. One newspaper said 2000 fans already booked a ticket, another one said 2500 . This forum was also mentioned as Koby said he tries to convice Irish that it is safe here in Irish forum's----> This forum was mentioned in our bigest newspaper

Kobby, a question: I'm not going but I was there before in 1984 for football. Is Maccabi beer still sold? I remember it being quite nice.

I was eighteen when I went there and it did hit the spot. My previous example of drinking lager were crap English lager (3%), Maltese beer (cr*p, although it managed to get me to pass out in a bog cubicle one night), San Miguel. I had yet to visit the meccas for beer lovers - Belgium, Munich Czech Republic and (very underated) Poland.

Could never see it round Golders Green when I used to work there, although someone did leave a can around one day at work.

It can't be as bad as that p*ss in Cyprus. My tastebuds were doing somersaults when I had a 1/2L of EFES in North Nicosia. Mind you, too many Irish fans can't get way from Guinness for them to ever make a considere judgement on it.

At the rate you lot are talking, they won't be any maccabi beer left in Tel aviv by the time i get back there on the friday evening. JGKyne/Peader I'm with you and any others who not into hatred/scared talk. I'm going there to have a good time and to support the team

. Don't forget to get your voice boxes ready we have a lot of singing/shouting to do to turn the statduim into a home match. Don't worry about your sercurity the local's will take care of that.
So lads see you there and save a gallon of Maccabi for me.

**Dawn_Run** · 01/03/2005, 8:00 AM

Well according to the indo today 'it will take a considerable worsening of the situation in the Middle Easet before they (FAI) consider calling the game off'

25 days and counting...

This is a serious problem - has happened in Niigata when we literally drank the town dry.

The Black Pig sold more in a weekend than they normally do in a year.
