Alona Barkat, owner of Hapoel Be'er Sheva, plans to send a strongly worded letter to the league management and the Football Association regarding perceived officiating errors, despite her team's recent 5-2 victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva. Barkat and the club are reportedly frustrated with a series of perceived mistakes, stating, "It looks bad and frankly, we're just tired of it. It's simply disgusting."

The club's primary complaint centers on the second goal scored by Maccabi Petah Tikva, questioning how it was allowed and why a player, Abdallah, did not receive a second yellow card for a penalty incident. They also question the disallowance of a goal by Yehoshua.

These recent incidents are linked to other matches, including a game against Maccabi Haifa where a penalty was awarded despite no apparent contact, and a second yellow card was not issued to Azulai. The team also cited a disallowed goal by Ohgrees in their win against Hapoel Jerusalem, along with another questionable foul call.

The letter aims to provoke a reaction from the football authorities, with the club emphasizing that the ongoing issues cannot continue, even with wins. The team believes these errors are detrimental to the sport.
