RBK tricked by Maccabi Haifa

Reported on the radio today:

RBK planned to send an observer down to Israel at Saturday to see Maccabi Haifa play.

However, M.Haifa reported that they would use a second team and juniors only - so RBK chose not to send the observer after all.

Now it turns out that the Israelic club after all did use their full first team in that match...

Boooo!

Let's hope that the M.Haifa observer thinks we play at home like we played in Tiraspol...

Why on earth would M. Haifa use their B-team in a practice game when they need to warm up the A-team for the Ch. League qualifiers?

I have to confess Rosenborg seem fairly naive, they should have sent someone down anyway -- no matter whether Haifa actively tricked them, or there was just a misunderstanding. Of course Haifa would be warming up their best available players. Anything else would have been a waste of time.

"Of course Haifa would be warming up their best available players. Anything else would have been a waste of time."

True, and a solid point.
RBK bent over backwards and got one up the ...

Anyway, I guess they got a video tape from the match...?

well - the 32 min. was the most important.
anyway - rosenburg officials should be less naive.
i must say it is not normal for maccabi haifa, if this report is true. maccabi is well known for acting like gentelmen and in a professional manner.
i must also say that the cup we played is not concidered an important one in israel - and that might be what maccabi haifa said.
also we played without giovanni rosso and arik benado - top players in our team.

Because of this, the victory will taste even better!
PS! Think of this: Would you liked to go to Israel (the conditions down there arent exactly safe), when it wasnt even sure that the team you would be watching would be playing with its best team?

Thomas!
Isn't there any way to block this DAvidovitch guy..
All he does is curse and mock.

What he doesn't realize is that along with mocking RBK he's mocking the fair spirit and gentlemanship of his team.
