UEFA Champions League Preliminary Round 2, 1st Leg
Maccabi Haifa vs Glentoran
UEFA Champions League Preliminary Round 2
Maccabi Haifa 6 - 0 Glentoran (15th July)
The Glens European dream was effectively over tonight as Maccabi Haifa overpowered the IFA Champions in a blistering second half.
Having gone a goal down in the first half it looked as though Alan McDonald's men may be able to push on to equalise or keep the score-line respectable, however as the second half wore on the professional Maccabi took control and proved themselves as worthy winners.
Rafaelov put Haifa ahead after 36 minutes, leading into half time. The second half saw goals from Yaniv Katan (52), Vladimir Dvalishvili (57), to extend the Israeli lead.
As the game wore on the Glens tired and Dvalishvili (81), Shlomi Arbeitman (83) and Momahed Shahbary (89) sealed the comprehensive win for the Israeli side
Det var vel dette laget som tapte 8-0 hjemme mot Brann i Europacup kvalifisering for et par år siden og... Et pub lag fra deg grønne øya, som skal slås greit....
Game won't be a walk in the Park - Snodin
However friendly tomorrow's meeting between Leeds United and Glentoran is supposed to be, damaged pride may influence the Belfast club's commitment to a fixture of no consequence.
United's visit to the capital of Northern Ireland was little more than a distraction for Glentoran from a Champions League qualifying tie against Maccabi Haifa, but the group stages of Europe's biggest competition have slipped away from them after a torrid experience on Wednesday evening.
Glentoran were routed 6-0 during the first leg in Haifa, rendering meaningless next week's return clash at home, and United coach Glynn Snodin says the heavy loss will not be taken lightly by the Irish side.
United's coach was returning to familiar surroundings in Belfast, where he is better known as Northern Ireland's assistant manager, the role he continues to fill while part of the backroom team at Leeds.
Snodin said: "With Northern Ireland, we spend most of our time on the training field because you don't have much to prepare for international fixtures. You've got to get things right and to get them right quickly.
"But it should be a good run-out for us and every time we play at Windsor Park (Northern Ireland's national stadium) it's like playing at Elland Road. The fans over here are fanatics and they love their football. I know they got beaten 6-0 and they'll be looking to do something about that by putting on a performance against us."
Glentoran are unlikely to field a full-strength team so soon after Wednesday's game, while Leeds are aiming to record their first pre-season win after draws with York City and Shelbourne.
Both fixtures have seen United surrender two-goal leads, and Snodin said: "The only disappointment is that too many goals have been conceded.
"There's been good bits in both our games but if we're going to nit-pick then we want to get back to keeping clean sheets. Hopefully that will come as the games go along."
Goalkeeper Alan Martin could start tomorrow's match after overcoming back spasms but it is not certain whether United will risk Enoch Showunmi.
The striker has been suffering from tight hamstrings and trained alone with club physio Harvey Sharman in Dublin yesterday.
Meanwhile, Leeds' reserves will contest their first match of the summer at Garforth Town tonight.
YEP
Alan Martin will be given the rest of this month to prove himself as Leeds United weigh up the possibility of sending the goalkeeper out on loan.
Simon Grayson has revealed that a number of clubs have contacted Leeds to discuss the availability of their Scotland Under-21 international, but United's manager is unwilling to seriously consider any loan requests until shortly before the League One season kicks off.
Accrington Stanley have expressed a firm interest in securing a temporary deal for Martin, who completed much of last season on loan at non-league club Barrow, but Leeds are in no rush to release a keeper who could experience his first taste of senior football at Elland Road next term.
Grayson said: "Sending him out on loan might be an option again and I've had one or two clubs on the phone about him. That doesn't surprise me because he's a very promising keeper.
"But I'm not going to let anyone go from here until a month into pre-season because I want to make sure that everyone's had a good chance and been properly assessed before decisions like that are made.
"He was at Barrow for a while last season so I haven't actually had much of a chance to see Alan play. That's what pre-season's about. We'll have a good look at how he gets on and we'll decide then whether the best thing for him is to go and get football with another club or to stay with us."

Ingen Crowe på benken heller ... skadet?
Får ikke håpe det er noe langvarig.. hvis det er en skade
Subs: Sheehan, Prutton, Johnson, Showunmi, White, Elliott, Lees, Darville, Martin, Grella.
Den oppstillinga der er vel beste tilgjengelige første11 vil jeg tro. Idag blir det litt spennende å se resultatet.
Beklager, men pga ferieavvikling så har jeg gått glipp av endel. Er Rui solgt eller skadet?
Sterk ellever Larry stiller idag.
Noen plass de streamer? Eller er live oppdatering? Har ikke kjøpt leeds united tv lisens enda...
Soddy, 0-1.
Flott at snoddy fikk en goal. Forrige sesongs beste IMO.
Yes, Snoddy! :)
God redning etter skudd frå Becks, Robbo bommer på returen.

Du mener nok det walisiske laget Carmarthen Town, som Brann slo 8-0 borte i 2007. Ã...ret før spilte Brann mot Glentoran i kval. til UEFA-cupen. Brann vant begge kampene 1-0.
Godt forabeid avslutta med god heading frå Becks, men utanfor.
Becchio i stolpen.
0-2, Becks.
0-2 Beckford! ;)
0-2 Beckford
Glentoran har (selvfølgelig) redusert. Blir vel uavgjort igjen...
C'mon Grella. Jeg skal uansett til Belfast i september. Aldri vært der før, men har trua på at det blir bra...Jeg prøver nok en gang: Hvor er Rui?

Kanskje bare småskadet, eller så vil Grayson prøve en annen sammensetning i midtforsvaret.

Takk, jeg hørte akkurat at Eddie sa om Rui: "As soon he's fit". Godt å høre, men jeg håper selvsagt at Huntington skal bli det vi håpet på...
Selvføgelig helt latterlig og dra noen konklusjoner etter denne kampen, men mitt standpunkt er som følger: Får Bad Santa £2 mill for Delph så selg fort som f.....Keep Becks and Snoddy at all cost............

LEEDS UNITED: United cruise past Glentoran
Published Date: 18 July 2009
By Phil Hay
Glentoran 1 Leeds United 3
Leeds United recorded their first win of pre-season against the most vibrant team of the club's summer so far to bring to a conclusion their tour of Ireland.
United's attacking flair picked apart a limited Glentoran side whose commitment and aggression failed to bridge the divide in quality between the two teams.
Robert Snodgrass and Jermaine Beckford scored in a one-sided first half to give United a 2-0 lead at the interval, but their chances were so numerous that the scoreline could have run out of control during that period.
In contrast to previous draws against York City and Shelbourne, the full advantage was not sacrificed by Leeds and Enoch Showunmi's late finish halted the tentative fightback attempted by Glentoran.
Manager Simon Grayson had been adamant all week that his players' time in Ireland would be focused primarily on fitness work, with little emphasis on their results, but a convincing display at The Oval will see his party travel home this evening with a victory behind them.
The game had more a competitive edge than Leeds might have expected â€" Glentoran were involved in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League in midweek â€" and United's hosts were happy to engage in match which was unexpectedly physical and occasionally fractious.
United's line-up yesterday was a potential indication of Grayson's thinking for next season, representing what would seem to be his strongest line-up without the players whose injuries prevented them from travelling to Ireland.
Fresh from the news that he has been removed from the transfer list and will stay at Leeds next season, Beckford's successful partnership with Luciano Becchio was renewed and the majority of those who started the game were left on the field by Grayson for over an hour.
Glentoran's attitude was just as serious with 10 of the 11 players involved in their 6-0 defeat to Maccabi Haifa in Israel on Wednesday night fielded again yesterday, and there was no lack of spirit in the home ranks.
But the sharpness of United's attack was a positive feature of Tuesday night's 2-2 draw at Shelbourne, the first game of this week's two-match tour, and their quality going forward was evident from the kick-off at The Oval.
Swift passing between Beckford, Becchio and Snodgrass had Glentoran scrambling to clear the ball behind at the end of Leeds' first attack, and the goal occupied by Elliott Morris was under pressure throughout the opening 10 minutes.
Andy Robinson threatened twice with a goalbound shot which Glentoran captain Paul Leeman headed clear and another effort pulled wide of a post, and Morris' parry beat away a shot on the turn from Beckford.
There was bite in Glentoran's tackles but they fell behind on 14 minutes before they had a chance to play their way into the game.
A kind ricochet on the edge of Glentoran's box presented the ball to Snodgrass in so much space that he could hardly fail to place a low finish around Morris, and the chances flowed quickly at the keeper's end of the field.
His superb parry denied Beckford after the striker wrestled his way past Johnny Taylor, and Robinson's follow-up dipped a foot over the crossbar with Morris exposed. Minutes later, Ben Parker's cross drew a lovely glancing header from Beckford which carried narrowly wide of the far post.
The opening 20 minutes clearly demonstrated the squads' respective levels of ability, though Glentoran's midweek journey to Haifa cannot have helped their condition yesterday, and their early chances were limited to a shot from Daryl Fordyce which struck Parker in the face 18 yards from goal and Dean Fitzgerald's wayward strike.
Richard Clarke caused Shane Higgs more trouble when his left-footed shot came within a yard of finding the corner of United's net, but another flowing attack started in midfield by Jonathan Howson and carried on by Beckford required Taylor's sliding tackle to prevent Robinson from claiming a tap-in.
In the final minute of the half, Becchio rose to head a deep cross from Andy Hughes against Elliott's right-hand post, and before the interval could arrive, Robinson slipped a pass through a sleeping defence to allow Beckford to dance around Morris and clip the ball high into the net.
Grayson limited himself to two changes at the break, involving Aidan White and Tom Lees while Glentoran made a flurry of substitutions, and it gave United the chance to continue their dominant performance.
Robinson's shot on the turn after 54 minutes was flicked wide by Glentoran's replacement goalkeeper James Taylor, but Glentoran pulled a goal back four minutes later when Andrew Hall's pull-back was finished in style by Grant Gardiner, his shot whistling into the top corner of Higgs' net.
United's riposte was to strike a post through Beckford's long-range header â€" the striker's last chance before he left the field on 66 minutes â€" and Bradley Johnson missed a ridiculously easy chance after Mike Grella's low cross reached him four yards from goal.
A better finish would have all but guaranteed United's victory but Johnny Black's failure to deal with a through ball left Enoch Showunmi to do the honours by slipping a shot under Taylor and sending Leeds back to the mainland with a subtle spring in their step.
Ends
Hvorfor spilte ikke Kilkenny i dag?
Høydepunktene er lagt ut.
Snodgrass' mål var lurt, de fleste forventer vel skudd i lengste der. Beckfords var pen, fin stikker fra Robbo hvor han finter ut, og runder keeper.
Scoringen til vertene var også meget bra.
Ellers har jo Bradley Johnson en bom i White-klassen :o
HVA kan vi forvente oss av enoch dere som følger lage tett.......... en backup eller en som står baaaaaak i køa????

Han er vel en kar som kan brøyte seg igjennom å skåre endel mål, men neppe en som kan utfordre blant de beste angriperne i divisjonene. Til det har han en for treg start og en klønete første-touch! Men alene med keeper i god fart er han dødelig...hehe....
