"Determining the results of a game
Determine the outcome of a game in the manner prescribed by the Association's bylaws, or decide on the holding of a replay and the conditions for its existence, whether or not the team has been prosecuted for the events of the game, whether it is convicted or acquitted." (my emphasis - G.H.).
In other words, the regulations grant explicit authority to the court to order a replay, even when there is a conviction.
In my opinion, this provision in the Disciplinary Regulations allows and authorizes the Tribunal to determine a replay, even in cases where the Championship Regulations stipulate a different sanction, such as a technical loss, or a 0:0 result without the distribution of points, as in the case before us.
In this regard, see the decision of the Supreme Court of the Israel Football Association in the matter of 3-14-15 Hapoel Ramat Gan v. The Football Association [published in Nevo]:
"The significance of this provision, as discussed and defined more than once in the Supreme Court's rulings, is that notwithstanding the provisions of the Championship Regulations, the Disciplinary Court, as well as of course the Supreme Court, has discretion, in accordance with the circumstances of the case, to determine the results of the game, and sometimes even the existence of a replay, and it is not necessarily obligated to implement the provisions of the Championship Regulations with regard to determining a technical loss.
.
In other words, the court has the authority, and with it the discretion, not necessarily to rule on a technical loss, even in cases where the game did not end due to team fault, and also in cases where a team was convicted of any of the offenses listed in section 12(4) of the Championship Regulations." (My emphasis - G.H.).
The judicial institutions of the Football Association have repeated this rule in many rulings, most recently in the Supreme Court's judgment in 61-24-24 Union of Bnei Sakhnin v. Israel Football Association et al. [published in Nevo] (March 11, 2025) (hereinafter: "the Bnei Sakhnin case"), in which a replay was determined , despite the conviction of Bnei Sakhnin for an offense that resulted in a technical loss to Bnei Sakhnin. See also 21-24-25 Hapoel Nof HaGalil v. Israel Football Association [published in Nevo] (November 3, 2024) and others.
