Maccabi Tel Aviv is the latest "victim" of the Football Association's legal revolution. Maccabi Haifa itself suffered a reduction of a point from its balance following a fan riot under aggravating circumstances in the "Champion of Champions" game against Beitar Jerusalem.

The alternative table of the Premier League without reducing points - voila! sport. The question is how far it can go with the new trendy punishment of the referees this season. If they had started the season without a minus, the Jerusalemites would be ranked in sixth place leading to the top playoffs.
