Joshua (Hagai Michaeli)
Hapoel Beer Sheva is furious at the court’s decision to keep Joshua away from four games. As you may recall, the player was prosecuted for the spitting move he made towards Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Avi Rikan during the 1-0 loss to the Yellows last Monday, an event that occurred in the last minute of extra time and was not addressed by the refereeing team on the field.
In Be’er Sheva, they reacted strongly after the publication of the player’s sentence and said: “Joshua was prosecuted not for an incident with evidence, but for the reputation they created around him. The player was prosecuted once and punished with the utmost severity, without conclusive proof. “At least there is a precedent here – an actor is punished for spitting, when did it happen?”
The games that Joshua will miss as a result are against Hapoel Kfar Saba, MS. Ashdod and Hapoel Haifa in the Premier League, and the other game will be against the same Maccabi Tel Aviv in the State Cup. It should be noted that Be’er Sheva cannot appeal the sentence.
