Noble and Micah on the Island of Demons
In the summer of 2019, the country shook another affair. A British tourist claimed that several young people from Israel committed a gang rape in the Cypriot resort town of Ayia Napa. At the end of a quick investigation, the local police determined that the complainant had consensual sex with some of them, and that she decided to file a false complaint against them for rape, because she was angry that she was photographed without her knowledge. Some of the videos were circulated on social media, the British appealed, but the Israelis came out innocent. At Ben Gurion Airport they were greeted by their acquaintances with songs like “We Believe My Believers”, and “The British M …” (they did not sing “Winner”).
On the moral side and the reception they received in the country, as if they had returned from a daring action in enemy territory, it is better not to expand. Of course, our football also had a representative on hand, and one of the Tzaddiks even started his second division team on Tuesday.
Noble Omar and Dor Micha, by contrast, faced another serious charge – her husband is prohibited from consenting, following complaints from two 15-year-old girls. The two proved in their interrogation that the girls introduced themselves as 18-year-olds, and the prosecution closed the case due to innocence. Mitch Goldhaar, the Canadian owner of Maccabi Tel Aviv, showed them the way out already at the investigation stage, and did not change his mind even after closing the case and apologizing to both of them (to everyone except the girls). Championship is a lofty goal, but education, culture and setting a standard Morals for famous footballers who took advantage of their status in front of high school girls are no less important.

And now that the January window is about to open and groups are rethinking their path, the two are in demand in the neighborhood, despite the poor productivity among neighbors. Micha’s anorthosis is at the top, but he has only one goal and zero assists in 12 games. Noble Agar in Apoel Nicosia who falter ten appearances in the league, with two touchdowns and no goal. Still, this is Apoel.
“I would take them with love for my team, even if they were morally wrong,” said Maccabi Petah Tikva’s heartfelt coach Guy Luzon, adding an apocalyptic question: “What is this, the end of the world?” … but according to reports, the two are dying to return, but by chance This one prefers not to mess with small things.
What about the big ones? Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are pushing for Micha to be returned and forgetting, perhaps because of the color, the owner’s red lines. Betar Jerusalem is interested in Noble. Moshe celebrates examining the issue as early as the end of last season, and updated that he consulted as usual with a rabbi and talked to the father of one of the minors. Since the case was closed, the father is less relevant than the sheikh, but Noble – according to recycled publications – prefers Maccabi Haifa.

This is an exciting turnaround, because the minors affair was not the only one in which the pair of heroes proved the chemistry between them. About six months ago, both were prosecuted by the association and fined, after celebrating on the balcony in Bloomfield and singing with their fans: “Maccabi Haifa Hezbollah.” Today there is a new Middle East, and even a connection between Noble and Nasrallah is not a fantasy.
“I could have behaved differently,” said Yaakov Shachar about Maccabi Tel Aviv’s treatment of the story, even before the case in the State Attorney’s Office was closed, and about the possibility that one of the two would be added to Maccabi Haifa this season, he replied: “Let the wounds heal.” Take what Goldhaar waved, what’s more, coach Barak Bachar received a much more significant boost from the Canadian – Yorgos Donis.
But in the end, most likely, there will be someone here who will talk to the two, and at Ben Gurion Airport there will probably be fans waiting for them, who will praise the boys and curse the girls.

Shai Barda reduces his players
After the heavenly 0-0 draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Shai Barda came to be interviewed by Betar Jerusalem, this time apparently it was his turn according to the rotation agreement. The replacement coach seemed quite pleased, and when he talked about the “youngsters” in the lineup, his face lit up, as if he had come to a home and garden for future generations.
“There is Aviel Zargari, a 17 and a half year old boy if I am not mistaken, who gave an excellent game and we were missing a certain number of games, and Fredo and Jordan are under the age of 21,” said Barda and concluded: “In football there are no ID cards” … Too bad, because Had they been, he would have discovered that he had just thrown away numbers. Zargari celebrated his 18th birthday two weeks ago, Shua and Uziel Pardo are already 21 and a half years old. Both, by the way, were born on the same date (16.6.99), but it is important to note that as in the case of Drapich and Barda, these are not twins.
Speaking of yellow-blacks, in the last round of the Bundesliga, 16-year-old Josefa Mokoko scored a goal in the Dortmund uniform, not to mention the numbers of Arling Holland, who is a bit young and separated by a little over a year. Besides, it’s good that Betar Jerusalem does not look at the identity card when choosing players, and how unfortunate that this practice is also irrelevant with regard to the nationality clause.

The fan bought a wanderer in the stadium
Last August, the association’s management elected a new treasurer, Barak Kana, who was a financial advisor and board member of Maccabi Haifa. To remove the fear of a conflict of interest, it was reported that Kana had resigned from his position at the club.
“Everything related to Maccabi Haifa, I will not deal with it,” the treasurer promised at the time, announcing that he would remain a fan. Nice of him, only fans – even much more dedicated than him – are not allowed to enter the stadium at all because of the corona restrictions. The directives issued by the leagues administration state that in the stands (“the third circle”), only owners, CEOs, officials, board members, etc. can sit, and even emphasized: “It will be clarified that these areas are completely isolated from the first circle – ie the locker room complex and the arena “.
So write. On Saturday, Kana sat in the bleachers in the colony next to Yaakov Shachar, and increased his workload when he went down to the grass with him, although in this matter, too, the instructions for officials are clear: “Enter the first circle only when necessary.” What necessary need did a cane fan have to get on the grass? And why is he allowed to stand next to Shahar who exchanged a few words with Bachar? Questions that probably bother Liran in a gray shirt as well.

“The only time I saw him was at the end of the game, on the lawn, after there were no players left on him,” Shlomi Barzel, an observer from the association, said in response. “As far as I understand, from the moment there are no players and officials in the first circle, there is no violation of regulations.” Yes, when it comes to whitewashing for our well-being, corners can also be rounded in circles.
How will you handle administrative abandonment? Well, even from there came a strange reaction: “Mr. Kana left the field after dispersing the players on his way to his car in the parking lot, hence there was no violation of the Corona regulations.” They no longer had an explanation for the intermediate parking on the grass, but the main thing is that from now on, every fan who enters the stadium will know: it is best to shorten the parking lot through the field.
This is how it is when the association and the administration want to cover for their friends, who violate their own guidelines – use the safest means of protection: pull the masks a little further up, and also hide the eyes.
Ronit Tirosh, Law and Laughter
The fact that the chairman of the judges’ union, Ronit Tirosh, is incomprehensible in a really new industry. “Choose,” she told her interviewers a year ago. “Do you want to be like England and not run for VAR, or like the Bundestag where you run for VAR?”

“Want a title?” Tirosh continued to run like in Chelm, and bombed again: “I’m going to give an instruction (to the referees) – if a game is about to end in a draw, and those final minutes could tip the scales, go to the screen. From the 85th minute onwards, don’t ask questions.” Of course not. What are we, the Bundestag?
Last week, after the filibuster of the judging team led by Gal Leibowitz in Kiryat Shmona (lasting about nine minutes), the inventor Tirosh once again came down on the Europeans: “In England the situation is worse,” and introduced another start-up: “Maximum something like 45 seconds, and you will decide what you decide. You were wrong – you were wrong.” In short, funny a waste of time.
