A group of graves / creek on Thursday

Who is the Aryan fan?

A few hours after their ascent to the top of the table, 14 Maccabi Tel Aviv players clarified thanks to whom this actually happened, and arrived at the Holy Ari’s tomb in Safed. Captain Sharan Yeni did not join, nor did the tug at the Daniel Tennenbaum goal, but the team’s spiritual shepherd, Itai Schechter, uploaded a photo on Instagram and wrote: “There is no one else besides him, the whole country is full of honor.”

If Mitch Goldhaar mistakenly thought he was referring to him, the ultra-Orthodox website Kikar Hashabat was quick to point out: “Schechter and his friends came to pray and thank God for the 1: 4 victory against the Betar Jerusalem team.” Moshe Hogg probably checks this report with his tassels.

Yes, although Van Leven and his players often talk about the load that causes injuries and hurts the quality of their game, on Tuesday the 14 believers packed their belongings after the morning training and traveled hundreds of kilometers, back and forth. In two days they will return to the far north On the way, they will probably sing one of the piyyutim for Shabbat composed by the holy Aryans.

This was not the first time that Rabbi Yitzchak ben Shlomo Lurie, a great Kabbalist in Safed in the 16th century, was recruited for the struggles of the Premier League. In 2013, coach Shimon Hadari and Hapoel Acre visited the site, before a game against Betar Jerusalem, and prayed for breaking the team’s losing streak. Betar won 2: 3. Last year, a delegation from Hapoel Hadera arrived with striker Roi Zikri, who did not win in 12 games in a row, to remove the curse before a meeting with Hapoel Tel Aviv. Zikri did not win and Hadera lost.

But the relevant case on the issue of the current championship took place in December 2018, before the game in which Maccabi Haifa hosted Maccabi Tel Aviv, as reported by one of the sites: The Holy One, in order to change luck “- but in the game itself, the Yellows actually won 1: 3. Who said it’s hard to believe?

This week, by contrast, Maccabi Tel Aviv players traveled to the Holy Aryan tomb only after qualifying for first place in the Premier League table – perhaps another sign that everything is from above. Alongside Schechter were seen in the photo (some in flip-flops, because the mikveh is like a spa): Eyal Golsa, Dor Peretz, Avi Rikan, Matan Hozaz and Ofir Dodzadeh – remembered from the joint flight about a year and a half ago to Rabbi Nachman Bauman’s grave – which proves that this is a group of graves . (That journey, it is important to mention, was joined by two other Tzaddiks – Omar Atzili and Dor Micha, who in those days seemed to be destined for greatness).

Tirosh’s promiscuity association

During Hapoel Tel Aviv’s loss to Maccabi Haifa last week, Nir Klinger jumped and screamed as usual on the line while waving his hands at referee Shlomi Ben-Avraham, who handed him a red card. “I did not say a word to him, a word,” the coach said, threatening: The end I will go with him. To the Supreme Court of the Supreme Court. “The association’s prosecutor Nir Reshef was convinced that this was probably a force majeure and decided not to prosecute him. The chairman of the Judges’ Association, Ronit Tirosh, was silent, Ben-Avraham came out small.

In the next game in Be’er Sheva, Klinger stood like a great man on the line, and his team won thanks to video referee Eli Hachmon. The referee on the court, Daniel Bar-Natan, went with the coach who disqualified a legal goal for the host in overtime, and the sage in the VAR position supported them. I really wonder how Klinger would have reacted if it had been the other way around. But in the heat of events and mistakes, few noticed that Bar-Natan also recorded a historic comeback in this game.

It all started in the summer, on the eve of the season opener, in the Toto Cup game against Betar Jerusalem, in which he was placed as the fourth referee. At the end, after Hapoel Tel Aviv’s bench men brainwashed him, Bar-Natan told them: “You are ashamed, you are all disgusting “Ass.” The then manager, Moshe Sinai, sent an angry letter to the union’s chairman demanding that he be disqualified, Bar-Natan apologized, and Tirosh replied: “Even if the judge gritted his teeth for 85 minutes, he said, in the face of loud protests from the bench. Your demand to disqualify him is not acceptable to me. At the same time, we will be alert to sensitivity in the professional placement considerations. “

And what actually happened? Only seven months later did they gather courage in the union, Bar-Natan was finally allowed to run a Hapoel Tel Aviv game, leaving the residue behind.

Yesterday marked exactly two years since Tirosh was appointed chairman of the union, and to sum up the situation: the referees err in wholesale and overthrow each other, the coaches do not count them, there is no trace of uniformity, and the overall score of the chairman (regardless of Bar-Natan’s butt): Under any criticism.

Berkowitz fires and invents proverbs

“Nir has already proven that he is a worthy coach at least for a national league, and certainly probably in the Premier League,” so, at least with arrogance and probably probably in laziness, said brother Eyal Berkovich at his presentation as a professional manager at Hapoel Petah Tikva. At the end of the year, there is a coach here, Haim Shabu. “Less than two months passed, not even the tax year came to an end, and Shabu was fired.

What is worth a word of the multi-channel chatter that preaches to everyone about integrity is already known. Also the one in the zero draw against Hapoel Kfar Shalem, that Abu brought in his son Lior Berkovich as a substitute for three minutes (which is more than his average of minutes in recent years). But the dismissals also brought back the question of the appointment of the brother as coach in Petah Tikva, while Eyal stated in response that there is a clause in the contract that prevents this. Strange, because at the above press conference he said: “If Hapoel Petah Tikva wants Nir he will be here, and if No, he will not be here. “A sentence that brought the section to some fans.

On Saturday, the big brother again strongly denied the claims of the chairman of Umm al-Fahm, as if there was a connection between his brother’s resignation and the job of coach at Hapoel Petah Tikva, and declared: “Professional honesty for me is the best thing, first of all. As they say, a better name is better than that “… not exactly as they say, maybe he meant to say:” For me my brother, my brother, my brother, my brother first of all “, but it is quite clear that the national thinker must memorize (and oil) the proverbs he has learned.

What’s more, a few days earlier, Berkowitz referred to his brother’s escape from Umm al-Fahm, claiming: “Nir is very afraid of the corona, because his wife is pregnant.” Probably had not heard of the proverb: the signature does not indicate his sister-in-law.

A jeweler forgets his share of failure

The loss of the Davis team to Ukraine was nothing compared to the punches made by the feverish commentator Shlomo Zoref to the captains of the industry.

Here is the summary: “We need to get Amos Mansdorf out of the office, the person becomes a computer person, and send him to competitions abroad with these children … I traveled eight months a year with Amos and Gilad … this time I do not see a future … I need to post Short-term goals … I’ve already done that. So why do you not learn from someone who did? … Nothing happens here … Enough with the talk, enough with the nonsense. Time passes and you are missing. “

Mansdorf, the professional director of the Tennis Association, did not respond, and only one thing the bloated commentator forgot. In 1997, Zoref headed a project called “Quality Tennis”, which was designed to locate and cultivate tennis flowers throughout the country. He also served for years as a board member of the union, and in 2010 was elected chairman of the professional committee, which is responsible, among other things, for budgets and youth development.

That is, with all due respect to his skills as a coach, and especially to the talents of Mansdorf and Bloom, our commentator also has a part in the current vacuum. So enough with the talk, enough with the nonsense, time passes and you gossip.
