1. The court of the Football Association decided this morning to punish Hapoel Tel Aviv in a home radius game without a crowd when at the moment, the penalty should fall on the last home game of the season - no less and no more - in a derby game. With this penalty after the 5-0 draw in the last derby about two weeks ago, and in light of the fact that for eight years they failed to beat the opponent across the road, but it seems that today has finally come to the conclusion that Israeli football fans are air. Caring for them and their needs and the product that is so trying to sanctify and make better, is still stuck two decades behind.
Hapoel Tel Aviv fans paid an average of NIS 750 for a subscription to the team's home games. Although many of them are already considered captive customers, the consideration box also includes the ability to ensure the ability to reach the most important games with the largest crowd - despite All the more so - the derby, which is still considered today when the balance of power is unequal to say the least, the biggest game in Israeli football.
And now the question arises?
Why do fans have to spend a few hundred shekels every summer on a subscription, while still receiving collective penalties that cause other thousands who have never been close to the torch, let alone turn on one, to miss the most important game for them?
Why not buy tickets per game when you can be sure the game is taking place with an audience or at home?
Why in a renovated stadium that has the option to use security cameras to locate rioters, are still thousands punished?
There is one answer to these questions - because it's the easiest.
It was easiest for the association to use the penalties that should have been discontinued in 2000 at the latest.
It is easiest to give a punishment that will save police forces around the stadium, that will prevent them from working, justify the money they receive, try and find a way to work with the teams to find the few who destroy every good part of Israeli football.
If a person subscribes to the stage and how many people curse the actors on stage, will they keep him away from a few plays afterwards?
If a person subscribes to a water park and a group of dozens of people throw chairs at the security staff all the subscribers who came to hang out will not be able to enter the park on the following Saturday?
Not a chance.
The football fans have become individuals of virtue.
Those that can be harmed and expected to be silenced.
This is the time for the fans to take action.
Will file class action lawsuits for refunds, cooperate in boycotts on the purchase of subscriptions and tickets and make the Football Association understand that whoever is responsible for whether the product will improve or not - it's just them.

Except for one short interview he conducted a few weeks ago after a game, Noble Omar decided and probably rightly so not to talk to the media since the minors affair exploded two years ago.
After all, what can you say when you are involved in such an affair?
What way do you have to get out of this morally good?
Almost none.
See the value of Eyal Golan almost a decade after the explosion of an affair that tarnished his career.
Noble may not speak, but yesterday he showed once again that it is difficult for him to control his nerves and instead of staying under the radar, or at least engaging solely in football, he still draws fire in an unwise way.
Yes spit, no spit, it does not matter.
Just for the movement itself, he should be punished by the Football Association and if not by the Association, then by his boss - Yaakov Shachar. Such a thing.
And as for Noble?
Maybe he does not really care, but whenever people try to soften their heart and forgive him, he spits in their face.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
