Saturday, the OGC
Nice beat Olympique Lyonnais (3-2) on the occasion of the eighth day of Ligue 1. In the 86th minute of this meeting, anti-Daesh chants rang out at the Allianz Riviera.
Which prompted the referee, JĂ©rĂ´me Brisard, to interrupt him momentarily. For Christian Estrosi, it is a
“totally incomprehensible decision to interrupt the game in the 86th minute, after the traditional song of our supporters of the Popular South against Daesh and in the form of tribute to the victims of the attack of July 14.”
The mayor of the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the Côte d'Azur specified on“a little preparation and discernment wouldn’t hurt in these situations.” For his part, Éric Ciotti deplored “the total lack of discernment” of the referee and the delegate of the meeting”. Fabrice Bocquet, the president of the Aiglons, for his part denounced
“a lack of respect for the victims of July 14, their families and the entire city of Nice.”
Anti-Daesh chants, the referee “stupidly” applies the rules
“Daesh, Daesh, fuck you”chanted some supporters from the southern popular tribune. The referee then asked the announcer to stop the shouting. After a two-minute interruption, they resumed.
These anti-Daesh chants echoed the attack that occurred in Nice on July 14, 2016. 86 dead and 458 injured had been counted after this Islamist terrorist attack with a ram truck, on the Promenade des Anglais.
