Hapoel Jerusalem coach Ziv Arieh offered to resign following the derby events, in which his team shared six foreigners in violation of the rules and is expected to suffer a 3-0 technical loss.
The club's board convened an emergency meeting, at which it was decided to reject the resignation proposal: "The committee believes in Ziv's job and ability to keep the team in the league."
So maybe Arieh has kept his job in the meantime, and only the club's honor has been harmed due to the affair of the six foreigners, but the Reds from the capital can take comfort in the fact that they are not alone in the world of failures, ask Betar and not just her.
Double Six
After the technical victory in the derby is officially awarded to Betar Jerusalem, it will precede the city rival in the Premier League table, but we were very reminded that it also overtook Hapoel Jerusalem with six illegal foreigners. The yellow-blacks did so already in the 2017/2018 season. As part of a Toto Cup game against Kiryat Shmona.
With the opening of the second half of the game, Betar coach that season, Benny Ben Zaken, brought Antoine Conte off the bench at the expense of David Keltins, and it took several minutes until he realized the magnitude of the mistake, as Marcel Heister, Claudemir Pereira, Eric were already on the field Only in the 63rd minute was Claudemir replaced and Ben Zaken claimed that the future technical loss (3: 0) was not terrible, because even then his team lost in the game itself 1: 0.

Unlike the coach, then-owner Eli Tabib did not think to reduce the default that a team source claimed cost Betar NIS 400,000, but the embarrassing story is that only ten months earlier, in the 2016/2017 season, Betar was close to making a similar mistake in the league Against Maccabi Haifa, and was saved at the last minute only thanks to Shadrit Kavim, who drew the attention of coach Ran Ben Shimon and prevented him from bringing up Arik Sabo, who was not even listed on the game form.
Disappearing flags for the
next failure Hapoel Jerusalem was only a partner from the sidelines, along with Hapoel Tel Aviv, which it faced - the flagship affair that took place at the beginning of the month in Bloomfield. But this was delayed by 12 minutes, because the line judges, Adi Rotem and Chen Orpaz, claimed that their check flags had disappeared from the locker room.
But where were the additional check flags?
After all, every referee has to hold three sets in every game.
Apparently they too have been forgotten, disappeared or the demon knows what happened to them.

In the end, Bloomfield Stadium officials were able to improvise marking flags with the help of shortened broomsticks, handcuffs and flags in various colors - one of them blue and white, just like the Israeli flag - to the glory of the Premier League.
Although until the opening of the second half a standard replacement set was brought in, the referees' union did not like to say the least the big foul, and suspended the entire refereeing team for five games.
Let him play
and sometimes the Jerusalemites have nothing to do with Pashla.
If sharing distant players as opposed to allowed is a familiar thing, what about a team that forgot to share a player who could play ?!
If it hadn’t happened in reality, we would have thought it was an episode in a bad comedy series, but that joke happened in our Premier League in the 2014/2015 season.

Hapoel Tel Aviv reached the bottom game against Hapoel Haifa and left its captain at the time, Shai Abutbul, out of the squad, because he carried five yellows. But they somehow missed an explicit announcement from the association, which allowed Abutbul to play.
The result of the mistake: the captain missed two games, and team manager Mordi Dadon was about to be fired for it, but eventually quit his job a month and a half later due to a change of ownership.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
