Maccabi Haifa was on trial this evening for the grunts voiced by a handful of the group's fans towards the Jerusalem Betar Freddy Plumain in a match between the teams. Remember, the French conquered plus time and ran to taunt the audience. Then there was also the growling of him, which the club had been condemning that evening. At the same time, this evening's discussion reached a climax that the person responsible for the incident was Plumine.

"There is cause and effect here," clarified the group's CEO, Asaf Ben Dov, who came to the discussion together with Attorney Ofer Ben Asa and Oved Gabriel's Operations Manager, who also believes in dealing with rioting fans and violent events. "Plumine received a yellow card for running to celebrate in front of our fans. He ran a whole lot to reach them," Haifa people said during the hearing.

Still, Giora Landau noted that Plumain had already claimed in mid-game that he heard a growl and brought it to the attention of Judge Roy Reinschreiber and observer Moshe Ajayab. The last two did not hear a growl during the match, but noted in a report that they indeed did after the second gate occupied by Plumine. "We are not a racist club," said Ben Dov.

Haifa fears that, despite everything, the fact that this is a second offense of racism this season will result in a penalty of actual radius. In that case, the game against Hapoel Bash will be held at Bloomfield Stadium and not Sammy Ofer. Anyway, the decision on the Greens' penalty will be made tomorrow (Thursday).
