the course of the discussion
Beitar is on trial for the events of the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva. Beitar is represented by attorney Roni Mozson, while at the hearing Nir Rashef the prosecutor and the judges Noam Lubin, Israel Shimoni and Giora Landau.
Lawyer Nir Rashef: “This is an extreme event in its severity. The game was stopped for four minutes, a referee was injured by throwing objects, there is an accumulation of very serious offenses here and it looked like a battlefield.”
Mozson: We condemn the events. The security guards should be commended and in this sense the club should be commended for bringing the security guards who prevented the fans from breaking into the grass. Let’s not play I guess. It was a relaxed game until the 70th minute, a player who everyone sees how he behaves in recent games, turned to the crowd and did what he did. I do not justify. But it didn’t help.”
The judge: “It’s not by chance that he didn’t get a yellow card for this. The celebrations were reasonable, he didn’t cross a red line.”
Dayan: “La Familia will not set the standard of behavior for players in the league.”
Dayan: “The referee should have stopped the game. If an opponent aimed and caught his head after an object was thrown at him, he had to stop the game.’
Mozson: “It has to be done. Everyone threatens and no one does it. Don’t tell me the game needs to be stopped. Stop the game. We are for it.
This is Beitar’s first offense. I have seen more violent incidents where there was no assault. They were not accused of racist chants.’
Rashef: “Because I was wrong and the court has the permission to do so. The fact that I did not file an indictment is not because it can be avoided.”
Shimoni: “Every year they say it starts from 0. None from 0 this year. Everyone was satisfied with what happened.”
Mozson: “I know the threshold of violence. I expect equality for everyone and that’s what I’m asking for.”
Landau: “The very fact that the unrest arose because the sector player was the one who allegedly created the incident is not interesting.” Identity is not interesting. If you say he was the instigator, we will call the child by his name and not respect their sensitivity on the subject of racism. We have no respect for racism.’
Mozson: “It could have happened if Eran Zahavi ran for the Hapoel fans. He’s a type of player (spory) who looks for provocations.”
