  • Alona Barkat will send a strong letter to the league and association over refereeing mistakes.
  • Hapoel Be'er Sheva is frustrated by multiple officiating errors in recent matches.
  • The club cited specific calls from games against Maccabi Petah Tikva, Maccabi Haifa, and Hapoel Jerusalem.
  • Barkat stated that the team cannot continue with the current officiating standards.
  • The team recently defeated Maccabi Petah Tikva 5-2.

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. Club officials expressed significant frustration, stating that the repeated mistakes are unacceptable and have become "disgusting."

The team is particularly aggrieved by several calls in the match against Maccabi Petah Tikva, including a disallowed goal for Yeoshua, a handball that led to a goal for the opposing team, and a penalty decision where they questioned why the player did not receive a second yellow card. They also cited questionable calls in previous matches, such as a penalty awarded against them in a game versus Maccabi Haifa and a disallowed goal in their win against Hapoel Jerusalem.

Barkat's letter aims to provoke a reaction from the football authorities, emphasizing that the team cannot continue under such officiating standards, even with wins. The club believes these errors are part of a pattern that negatively impacts the league's integrity.
