Too bad for all of us: Waste of time is the blow of Israeli football

This is no longer just an embarrassing and annoying phenomenon, but a real danger.

Harm to the game, the spectators, its essence, values.

Waste of time in football is a symbol of the corruption of referees, coaches, players, spectators and ball-bringers.

It's time to declare war

This is supposed to be a small and marginal phenomenon, which should not be discussed at all.

This is supposed to be a rare tactic, which is clear to everyone that it is desperate and desperate, and is only used in emergencies, when the level gaps are large at an abnormal level.

In the first rounds of cup games, say.

When amateur teams meet rivals from the major leagues and try to find a loophole in the football constitution and take advantage of factory rules to pull time and drag the game to penalties.

Yes, in a corrected world waste of time is something out of the ordinary, which of course is wrong.

Beyond the image damage, the viewer simply has time to move a channel.

is not that a loss?

In Israel, however, this is already considered a legitimate method of play.

For normative tactics.

For part of the game.

For a basic ingredient in the preparation: we will be crammed into the back, we will thicken the link, we will waste time.

There are quite a few football games that a fan comes to knowing that this is what he is about to see.

That he is about to suffer.

Which is what he is about to experience - a waste of time, physically and spiritually.

The game has not started yet, and he is already nervous.

Already in the opening he recognizes a player procrastinating in tying the laces, in a foreign outing, lying for a few extra seconds on the grass after a blow he received.

It is difficult to explain the great frustration, the helplessness, the accumulating resentment.

Waste of time evokes negative energies.

Anger, rage, disgust.

Instead of love and encouragement songs, the arena is filled with boos and curses.

Of course there are circumstances that allow for the waste of time.

Each team starts a game with a point, and fights to keep it and not lose it.

In addition, calculating time in football is something that ranges from arbitrary to puzzling.

No one knows what the extra time will be, or what led the judge to determine it.

Of course the waste continues in the addition itself.

The referees' conduct is usually miserable, with the peak of pathos being to see a referee run all over the pitch to wake the goalkeeper and speed him up in a ridiculous ceremony.

This is a phenomenon that not only tires the game, because the damage is not only image-based, but real: the pauses simply create time intervals and opportunities to move a channel, to a better place.

Then the team manager comes to him and asks him to play slowly.

There are older people among us who remember the first times we saw the beautiful sporting phenomenon, in which a player is injured, and the opposing player takes the ball out to allow it to be treated. Oh, what naive days. Originally it was done to maintain decency, not to enjoy an advantage on the grass in unfortunate circumstances, to mention that it is just a game and we are all athletes and most importantly health. Come friend, we'll wait for you, recover and come back. How miserable an athlete must be to take advantage of such a positive norm to cheat.

How pathetic a footballer needs to be to lie on the grass and writhe in pain in order to pass a few seconds, wasting time when everyone around him knows he is bluffing: teammates, rival players, spectators, the referee, even the physiotherapist who treats him and knows he is an essential part of the method. Jordi Cruyff quickly recognized the local codes, and ordered the Maccabi Tel Aviv players to ignore the "injured" opponent and continue playing until the referee instructs otherwise. He knew that the sporting and moral standards of Israelis could not be trusted. Nowadays every fan sees an injured opposing player and immediately shouts to his player "Do not take out!", Do not be a sucker. It is a culture of lying, of cheating, of pretending. This is the norm.

The problem is not with a bunker. Let them play bunker, the main thing is that they play. On the contrary, in the bunker there is something heroic, in desperate defense, in distances, in guarding the gate at all costs. There is something positive in wanting to win, to fight for a point for the fans (even when there are none), to embitter the life of the opponent with the big budget. But waste of time is also defeatism. Surrender in advance. Total waiver. Lack of faith. Understanding that this is what we have. And it's a shame, because after a small group absorbs and is forced to move forward, they discover that they have abilities, they have talent, they just lack the courage. And the fan watching her from the side wonders: Where have you been so far? Why did we all have to experience this humiliation?

It is allowed to pass a few seconds here and there, no need to exaggerate.

The problem is with the low standards.

The problem is that a coach then comes to the interview stand, is asked a short question on the matter, and answers "Let's not be naive."

Let's not play it beautiful.

This is how it has always been.

It was nice to imagine that the coach only publicly defends his players, but in fact afterwards in the locker room talks to the goalkeeper and asks him not to act like that anymore, explains to him why it is embarrassing and offends the dignity of the game;

But the truth is that coaches justify it, and encourage it.

The players know what is expected of them.

Think of the way, what a sucker.

Because beyond the lack of professionalism, it is a cultural matter. Waste of time as such an essential part of the game can only exist in a place devoid of values. There is no environment that makes time wasters ashamed. They do not feel ashamed, because they too know that everything is measured in the end result. So it was in the pediatric ward. In fact, this is what the children are taught, as the bullet-bearers, when the principal of the adult group comes to them and demands that they enlist in the false efforts. Eliminate bullets, do not run. That's where it all begins.

Even the coaches know that only the immediate result is decisive. Will not help instill values, talk about a way. What way? Which way? Bring points or you're fired. Waste of time happens where Mitch Goldhaar is mocked for the release of Noble Omar because here, look how good Noble is, how many exiles he conquers. There is no meaning to imparting values. Behavior does not matter. Who cares about long-term thinking, from "doing the right thing", only the result matters. In terms of Israeli football, Goldhaar has become a sucker. bleeding heart.

Waste of time, Israeli football.

The connection between them is too natural, too symbolic, too shabby.

It is corrupting and depressing.

It's everyone's interest to fight it.
