Notes
- Abandoned at the 70th minute with the score of 2–1 to Maccabi Hadera as Ahva Notzrit Haifa players protested awarding Hadera's second goal, which they claimed was stopped by the goalkeeper before the goal line.
gollark: Eventually™ it could contain a cryptopotatographic signature, as I said, thus allowing updates to be verified remotely.
gollark: I suppose I can add a configuration setting where it says "EndOS 3" instead of "PotatOS 6.2".
gollark: The *bottom* line just contains the hash of the *top* line now, for verification purposes.
gollark: The hashes are there so that a potatonode™ can check its own files against a manifest's and see which need updating.
