Alona Barkat defends Eyal Segal.
The owners of Hapoel Beer Sheva responded tonight (Wednesday) to the announcement of the referees' union, which attacked the owners of Maccabi Netanya earlier today.
"I read the referees' strong statement against Eyal Segal, an important and esteemed owner of our football. I was ashamed and shocked by the blatant language and style," Barkat began.
"We need to look at the truth as it is. We are all witnessing a growing trend of significant refereeing errors that distort the result that should be achieved on the grass. This is not a problem of one club or another but of all Israeli football. This is not a problem that will resolve itself and fundamental changes are needed here. "Seriously. I expect the union to concentrate on finding solutions and not look for the problem in the wrong place."
As you may recall, a difficult dialogue developed this morning between the Judges' Union and Eyal Segal.
The union said: "Eyal Segal is a senior member of a heated, repulsive discourse, ostensibly under the guise of factual criticism.
Segal responded: "Shlomi Barzel's belligerent message and not for the first time, under the name 'Union of Referees' is a certificate of poverty for the ability to internalize and accept criticism, especially when the vast majority of Israeli football referees are well aware of the arrogance and arrogance of some. "And it's time for an Israeli football fan. It's time for you to learn to respect factual criticism, especially one that puts you in front of your face, so that you can try to change and change for the benefit of us all."
