Rage at Hapoel Tel Aviv following the heavy punishment imposed on the club following the events of the Tel Aviv derby, which took place about two weeks ago at the Bloomfield Stadium.
As I recall, the Reds received a penalty of three games without an audience, and another Radius game, which the team will host outside of Bloomfield.
The team was also fined NIS 70,000 and in addition was also reduced by one league point on condition until the end of the season due to the massive throwing of balls into the field during a game.
Hapoel Tel Aviv's management stated: "This is a severe and disproportionate punishment. We will remind you that this is an away game in which none of the team's members were present, which was transferred to the control of the police, who are responsible for maintaining order in the stands.

"Despite this, the court once again chose collective punishment, which does an injustice to the wonderful audience of Hapoel Tel Aviv, the vast majority of whom were harmed because of a handful who only caused damage to the club. Those lawbreakers are treated and are under inquiry and investigation by the enforcement agencies, while the club's management also takes any action against them the means at her disposal.
"We intend to appeal the decision and hope that the tribunal will accept our claims and change the collective punishment."
