The wait goes on for Hapoel Acre
7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Yuval Piven hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hapoel Acre can pretend not to have heard.

Liad Levi comes home
The shirt still fits. Liad Levi is back at Hapoel Acre, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Nevot Ratner in a row with a teammate

0‑2 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Nobody could get near Yadin Lugasi
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Yadin Lugasi knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hapoel Acre, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Antonee Burke-Gilroy still has not settled
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Hapoel Acre would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
