Hapoel Tel Aviv believe that the referees' union will decide to cancel the red card issued yesterday to Eddie Gottlieb, after a fan tried to attack him and in response he defended himself and dropped him.
"This fan should be kept away from the pitches for life," said those around the club.
Regardless of what the court decides regarding the fan, who was arrested yesterday and questioned, the Reds are considering taking drastic action against him and may file a personal lawsuit against him and ban him from entering team games.

Eddie Gottlieb was flooded with warm and supportive messages from the red crowd.
Raz Twisser, who was one of the attackers, wrote on Instagram: "It could have ended much worse. A fan breaks into the pitch and attacks two players and in the end a red card is drawn? See and not believe."
On the professional side, Hapoel know that they had a fall in the second half and Petah Tikva could also win the game so they were satisfied from the point they took out.
And also had a game before.
