Following the recent derby events between the two teams that included a massive dumping of objects and pyrotechnics immediately after the start of the game between the teams, which caused it to stop for 17 minutes, the Football Association's court decided today to fine the Hapoel Tel Aviv team NIS 30,000 and the Maccabi team Tel Aviv for NIS 25,000.

The report of Chief Justice Israel Shimoni reads: "Hapoel Tel Aviv does not deny even because its fans' calls were called" Let there be a Holocaust for Maccabi ", and Maccabi Tel Aviv does not deny the claim that its fans shouted" Taste a terrorist "and" Hapoel Ta Hezbollah " .
"In view of this, I convict Maccabi Tel Aviv of aggravated fan riots and racist chants and I convict Hapoel Tel Aviv of aggravated fan riots and misconduct."
It was further stated that: "In the margins we will emphasize, these amounts of fines should not be seen as an indication of punishment in the future, and precedent for all intents and purposes and should only reflect the exceptional circumstances of the current prosecution, conduct of parties and prosecution."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
