I hope it s closer to Kyiv win! But "beer" depends not on the "match-score"! |

No! I said before I don t like to use planes & other ways to reach you are SO difficult.
I like trains! Or buses (but trains are far more convinient!).
And you know, to reach England from Ukraine BY TRAIN or BY BUS - it s too long & too hard!!!

stokiejoeofalsager Cheers, mate! I understand your team is amazing, hands up Your new signings rule. And looks like you play traditional british football so to say, as opposed to top english clubs we faced before. Too bad for us. Our coach showed there's little he can do against a well-built defence system with classy palyers in it. This is how we got eliminated in previous Europa league's quarter-finals by Braga and same story happened in this Champions league qualify round against Rubin Kazan. We had better players on both occasions but were weaker tactical wise. |

denfcdk You did a really good job providing all that information on Kyiv Somebody asked for Dynamo's forum in previous posts. There are many. You can find one on official website and others by glorious google. The most famous guestbook is this one old.dynamo.kiev.ua/gb/ |

stokiejoeofalsager We are used to tough tackles, all ukrainian teams apart from top 4 play that way. You have to be careful Artem Milevskiy, #10. He makes the most of it, earning like 5-10 really dangerous free-kicks per game. Sometimes he exxagerates the harshness of the faults |

stokemaccabi You said it man! No disrespect, but the first thing I think about hearing of Israel team is a an easy pre-season training match. Probably that what makes it seem dull |

Probably that what makes it seem dull Also Sport1 Chanel tournament, which roman abramovich was doing every year in israel with ukranian and russian teams. Maccabi Tel-Aviv never played those, were just better  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_One_Cup_(football)im scared from Dynamo though :\ |

stokemaccabi don't be scared I reckon you don't play group stages too often? So just enjoy the opportunity The worst thing is we play with you in Kyiv in December, it will be below freezing nearly-empty stadium and a nearly-friendly game since we will most likely qualify by then. So that's another thing that discourages me about Maccabi Haifa |

Nah, its our first time in Europa League group stage, but weve been in the Champions league group stage already, won ajax and almost won Juve (they tied in the 90th minute)... and lol, i know bout the degrees, but the flights are so cheap, so probably alot will come, if we still got chance by then. |

Just curious, is there any sort of rivalry between Israel and Turkey in football?
Thumbs up for knocking out Panathinaikos, they're decent team.

Guys! Maybe, I should make another thread, but now let it be here.
Some of you seem to have some problems with transfer from airport (i realize that taxi rates may be VERY high for foreigners!).
On the other hand, most of you booked hotels that are close to each other.
If you could gather in a group (8-10 or even 20-25) - maybe you d ask me to order you a minibus or bus FROM Kyiv?
Is it interesting for you?
I asked today about the prices & it could be cheaper than taxi, but only if you gather in a group.
If it is interesting - I need to know arrival-time and amount of people. Cause the prices may vary!
On my opinion it seems great - like a little city-tour! Think & write (maybe, PM to me)!

Hi, stock-maccabi! You know, in December it can be about -15. There is a possibility it can be around 0 - -5, but be ready for -15! Thanx, got it! |

Fair point.... So are you thinking of hiring a minibus or ordering us one to be pickedup from borispol airport?

Post by denfcdk on Sept 5, 2011 20:23:44 GMT
i m thinking about hiring a minibus or a bus (privatly, i think)! that can be cheaper! more people - less from each! if so - i d like to meet you in airport & take a ride with you to the city-centre (help you to get to your hotel etc.). |
