50 years ago, the term "mourning in the Histadrut" marked the rejoicing of Betar Jerusalem fans when a disaster struck at Hapoel. Betar took nine points from them this season.
Without Hapoel, it is not certain that Betar will survive. Betar's interest is that Hapoel will survive, because this is a huge bank of points.
What will Betar do without it next season?

2 In today's Israel, your moments of glory are getting shorter.
Take for example Bnei Lem, the guy who came from the frost of the youth departments and led Maccabi Netanya to the top playoffs with football out of the box.
But four games without a win - and there are already some who rushed to put out the candles on his cake.
Wait a minute, because Lem and his Netanya have not yet finished what they have to say and do this season.
Tonight they brought the reigning champion Maccabi Haifa to their knees.
Barak Bachar said correctly at the end, that his team went down with only a trio, and not with many more balls in the net that would have reflected the situation.
Haifa, and we always say that, is the best in the league, but also one of the most nervous of them all.
A Maccabi Netanya player is lying on the grass and receiving treatment, but Muhammad Abu Fani comes to him and tries to set him up wildly, as if the Netanya player is wasting time.
Why, Abu Fani, why?
Barak Bachar.

The drop in tension after the Cup semi-final and Netanya's desire to regain full control of the center of the field, and Haifa, which also had to lose in the previous game between them in Netanya (achieved a draw), gave up early because it realized that a big draw was on it this time.

3 I will not surprise the Maccabi Petah Tikva fans if I tell them that any fan survey that asks which of the teams they prefer will go down to the national team - will give a clear answer.
Two coaches are Peter, his nephew and Nir Klinger, not before humiliating him publicly, as if the former (football) prime minister had learned nothing about Derech Eretz in his 30 years as a landlord.
Now we are in the count of Omer, but Golan will probably finish, the only question is where.
Shai Barda did not consider Maccabi Petah Tikva's plans, and we saw where it goes in the farce of the penalties that faded with Ido Shachar's two sins, a complete collapse and a quartet on the face. Three rounds to the end - no one goes down safely.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
