The Football Association Disciplinary Tribunal on Wednesday released the harsh punishments it imposed on Hapoel and Maccabi Tel Aviv following the harsh derby events in which smoke grenades and flares were thrown into the lawn (a photographer was hit in the head by a grenade thrown at him from gate 10-11). Chairs that caused a fire and the game was stopped.
Hapoel Tel Aviv suffered the toughest punishment - three league games in the league, after which the 4 and 5 at Bloomfield will be shut down in two more games. The Reds also suffered a fine of NIS 50,000. Hapoel management has not yet issued a formal response, but the club has already decided that they will appeal the punishment.
One of the group's owners, Sharon Nissanov, vehemently attacked the tribunal's decision and told Israel today: "It's an unprecedented punishment, it's a shame and disgrace. We are being scammed and trying to get a precedent for our backs. I do not want to discredit Maccabi and not Give them another punishment but no proportion to the punishment we received, period. "
Maccabi Tel Aviv was penalized in one radius game after which goals 10 and 11 were closed for another game. In addition, the group was fined NIS 20,000 in practice. The club has yet to decide whether to appeal the punishment they received or not.
Dayan Yisrael Shimoni explained in his decision that: "Different from the change in how Hapoel Tel Aviv coped with the events, the representatives of Maccabi Tel Aviv presented measures and mainly the results of an investigation and search that helped locate some of the fans who took part in the delinquent events. In relation to the events in the stands of the Hapoel fans, and even the amount of objects thrown by Maccabi fans was less than that of the Hapoel. "
