While the Portuguese club Méhun was leading 2-1 over FC Val de Loire, match referee Teddy Genty made the decision to stop the match after “threats” from the crowd targeted one of his referees on Sunday afternoon.
Will we have to play all matches behind closed doors from now on? After a week of monkey crying in Bruhut, and the premature end of the Gambardella match between Vierzon FC and Borgfoot U18, a new meeting this weekend in Scheer has been stopped, due to crowd behaviour.
This time, due to threats heard by the side referee, the match was stopped by the central referee, when there were only five minutes of play left on the clock, this Sunday in the match of the Regional Championship 3 between the Portuguese Méhun and FC Val de Loire. “Mr. referee, we will give you the same blow that our player received,” is what the linesman said he heard against him. According to one of the fans in attendance, one of them said: “You would have received the same blow as our player, you would have fallen to the ground.”
Certainly the follow-ups in the committee in the league
The play that certainly lit the powder was the second penalty awarded to the Mehunois after coming off and a high shot from the goalkeeper deflecting off Mathieu da Cunha. This decision was strongly objected to by the players of the Val de Loire club, who put great pressure on the 34-year-old referee and his assistant. The penalty kick was scored by Guillaume Gallerat. A goal synonymous with three valuable points. Until the match stopped.
Referee Guillaume Gallerat, player and coach of the Portuguese De Mehon, said: “Stopping this match is really harmful, both on the sporting level and on the club’s image.” It’s sad and stupid, but the insults are repeated along the railing. I think the decision to stop the match was taken a little too hastily. »
No complaint was filed
The same story about his counterpart Rachid Al-Idrissi: “It is unfortunate that the match was stopped, because we were at a high stage. Obviously there could have been threats against the assistant referee. It also put us in difficulty because we wanted to finish the game. I don’t know what will happen in terms of the outcome. »
Before the match against Chauvigny, the Vierzon club sent a strong message against racism
Before that, Portuguese Mihon opened the scoring in the first half with a penalty kick, which he caused and scored by Benjamin Viaud (30). Rachid Al-Idrissi’s players returned to the right track with a goal by Gharib (75).
Everything will now be decided in committee, at the headquarters of the Ligue du Center – Val de Loire. To our knowledge, no complaints were planned for Sunday evening.
