OL sticks to its positions and rejects the conclusions of the LFP, which exonerates OM in the incidents of October 29.
“ The disciplinary committee, after having read the elements of the file and hearing the two clubs, notes that the incidents which occurred on the public highway are not likely to engage the responsibility of the organizing club. Consequently, the commission will not take disciplinary action on these incidents. » Last Wednesday, although seized by its own president Vincent Labrune, the Professional Football League cleared OM for the incidents noted on the sidelines of the Olympico, on October 29, and in particular the serious injury of Lyon coach Fabio Grosso in the stone crushing of the Gones bus.
OL immediately expressed their indignation, announcing possible future appeals. “ We’re not going to stop theresays Vincent Ponsot, OL football director. We owe it to our players and staff. What we suffered two years ago, the point withdrawn, the debate on the lost match, we do not want OM to suffer. But we want to be able to play football without being afraid or risking anything. We don’t want a sporting sanction, because the Marseille players have nothing to do with it. We want to play on neutral ground. » To do this, Lyon contacted the appeal committee of the French Football Federation.
Response on November 21 or 22
L’Equipe announced this Monday that OL have indeed requested the FFF for an appeal meeting which will be held on November 21, in the morning. The verdict could thus fall in the evening, or even the next day, communication made to the clubs concerned. In the meantime, this closing match of the 10th day of L1 is scheduled for December 6, at the Vélodrome and in public. “ The least bad option », According to the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra.
