The Disciplinary Commission announced that it “would not take disciplinary action” on the incidents that occurred on October 29. Daniel Riolo and Pierre Ménès can’t believe it.
On Wednesday evening, the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League did not hold Olympique de Marseille responsible for the stone-throwing of the Lyon coach on October 29, before the Olympico at the Stade Vélodrome. An unacceptable decision for the leaders of the Rhone club, who decided to appeal.
Daniel Riolo also protested this choice. “Play again yes but not in Marseille… What is the message? Zero sanctions, nothing”wrote the polemicist in a first tweet, before questioning himself in a second: “So OM-OL is being replayed quietly at the Vélodrome! So nothing happened? Are we not marking the occasion? Shameful and scandalous decision by the LFP… The ministry is not going to intervene? “. The LFP considers that OM is not responsible given that the serious incidents, which notably led to the injury of Lyon coach Fabio Grosso, did not take place within the Vélodrome stadium.
So OM OL is being replayed quietly at the Vel’! So nothing happened? Are we not marking the occasion? Shameful and scandalous decision of the LFP… the ministry will not intervene?

For his part, Pierre Ménès also expresses his incomprehension. “I completely understand that the LFP applied the law for its decision on the OM-OL incidents. But what signal are we sending? What consequences in the future. Under what conditions will the Lyonnais and Fabio Grosso meet on December 6? To govern is to plan. I maintain that the match should have taken place behind closed doors and on neutral ground”wrote the sports journalist on X.
