OM-OL, case law in sight?

What about the Olympico postponed to December 6?

This Wednesday, the Disciplinary Commission of the Professional Football League (LFP), contacted by the very boss of the LFP, Vincent Labrune, hears Marseillais and Lyonnais regarding the deplorable evening of October 29 and the incidents that occurred on the sidelines of the clash of the 10e day of Ligue 1 between OM and OL.

If it quickly judged itself incompetent to assess the case – the stone crushing of the Rhone coach which led to the serious injury of Fabio Grosso was not the direct responsibility of OM since it took place on public roads – the LFP could case of sanction adopted against the Marseille club set a precedent.

Sanctions adopted?

Any relocation of the meeting or closed session would be assimilated to a penalty in effect for the Marseillais, who also incur other potential closed sessions, or even accounting sanctions – a first for an event observed outside a stadium, and yet a sentence called for by Lyon officials and some members of the political sphere. Note that the Disciplinary Commission can always kick in on the subject, and confirm its inability to rule on this matter.
