“LFP: you are the doggies of Qatar, while waiting for the backlash, let’s play ball!”this is what we could read on the banner deployed on Saturday behind Gautier Larsonneur's cage a quarter of an hour into the game, at the same time as tennis balls were thrown onto the field from the opposite stand, forcing Florent Batta to delay Téji Savanier who was preparing to take a corner. By the time the stewards, visibly ready to intervene, were able to clear everything.
We have to joke as best we can in these difficult times. So rather than dwelling on the comments of the commentators who evoked a tribute to the career of Rafael Nadal, who had retired for a few days, adding to that of Rachid Mekhloufi before the kick-off, we let you search for the memory of an MHSC meeting interrupted by spectators expressing their discontent or protest by throwing yellow balls. And not just bullets. Hint, we were aiming for a completely different objective than maintenance.
Adding that it is always better than a firecracker thrown at the Clermont goalkeeper.
