Payet did not help the situation throwing that bottle back.
Ligue 1 | French Football 2021/22
- Thread starter bucky
- Start date
No, there is a special rivalry between Nice and Marseille. It can be ugly
Hey someone has to plow the fields and throw projectiles at the wolves to protect the herd.
Sampaoli is a nutter just like his mentor Marcelo Bielsa hahaha Terrible situation there though
I never thought about the proximity of the two teams, of course.
He did not, but i can understand it though, he received a 1st bottle (full) in the back, then another one when he was on the ground, I can't guarantee I wouldn't do the same...
Rongier also got injured in another game by a projectile thrown at him too
Nice performing well and their own fans will feck it up for them.
A minority of their fans are nutters
When I lived in Paris, I could easily tell you that every fan of every team hates Marseille. Ever since their early 90s team and that Champions League campaign especially. Been to Marseille a few times, my friend Soprano the rapper lives there and we've been to Marseille games, absolute mayhem, those guys are nuts. Ready to fight over anything. This derby is always hostile too.
I'm pretty sure that COVID pass checkpoints played a role in the whole thing. You usually don't have that many bottles in a stadium, it's usually lighters, coins or paper. Because of COVID they're probably not checking the bags that thoroughly.
Wasn't it Marseille where there was a rumpus with England fans. I know they a volatile from watching games on BT. Remember them playing the Benny Hill music if I remember when they were really bad.
What a flex, my friend Soprano, the rapper
It was but the important thing is that not a single Marseille fan is concerned tonight
True. So Nice fans are not nice.
Presumably the cafe will show condemnation and outrage for these events. And demand a change in french football supporter culture.

The caf will probably start by saying french supporter aren't competitive and only PL fans are.
I think it would be more appropriate to get the top RedCafe posters to sing together on social media for the cause. Should fix everything.Presumably the cafe will show condemnation and outrage for these events. And demand a change in french football supporter culture.
Ultras have been kept away from stadiums for one year and half.
Expect some spicy action during PSG/OM, OM/OL and Saint-Etienne/OL

What a bunch of morons.
You gotta love the commitment of Marseille's staff
Think this game is safe. Away fans long been banned from travelling for this fixture.
Guess it depends who you are as a person,
I agree smart thing to do would be hold your emotions and not react but then again if someone launched a beer can at my head I’d launch myself at them in rage, It’s disgraceful players aren’t protected more in these situations, you see it all the time and they’re just supposed to get on with it
It happens to a certain extent over here as well. Somebody at The Emirates threw a bottle at Reece James after he scored. Just missed him.
So what is happening with the match ?
The administrative authority said the match could resume, Marseille doesn't want to go back on the pitch, its a classic case of Mexican stand off atm.
The fans can dish it but can't take it huh?
No need for the away fans. The home fans will do exactly what Nice fans did to Payet today.
Good point!
I think losing the game, 2 games behind close doors and 100k in various fines would be fair for these type of incidents.
They're talking about resuming the game with or without the Marseille players
They're talking about resuming the game with or without the Marseille players
So, per the rules, Nice had to restart the game so the ref could acknowledge the fact that Marseille didn't want to continue. They had to play a corner with only one team on the pitch. Obviously, it wasn't possible so the ref stopped the game for good. This is absurd ^^

I can only speak of my experience of ligue 1 games this season so far in Brest, but the Coivd pass for the 2 games has caused delays yes, but I haven't seen any impact on the security. I have still been searched to the same level I was in the previous 2/3 years. Obviously it could be different at other stadiums.
I stand corrected, it seemed to be open plastic bottles, so it's probably something sold inside the arena (they sell plastic bottles but remove the cap so it cannot be used as a weapon).
This is good
Yeah I remember that. When we would go to Chaban-Delmas we’d sneak bottle caps in so we could stick it on whatever capless Pepsi bottle or whatever they gave us. We got really creative, one I liked was during the winter bring gloves and take them off before you go in, with the cap wrapped in them then. Or hide it in your scarf
Disgraceful, obviously....
What a flex, my friend Soprano, the rapper
Never had the chance to name drop Said(Soprano) till this haha. Damn I miss France, going to try and watch a PSG game this year, stayed in Epinay just outside Paris, used to go to Parc regularly back then when Kombouare was manager, back when they had a soul. I was hoping Lille would maintain their challenge but Letang had to mess it up. Lyon are a mess with Bosz, I expected this, Monaco were amazing in the second half of the season last year but now can't buy a win and Marseille are well Marseille. PSG by February it is.
