Stopped from the 4th minute after a water bottle jet on Dimitri Payet, “The Olympico” has never taken over, despite two hours of discussion. Perhaps the incident of too much in a championship marked by overheads in the stands this season.

Never a league 1 match was as short and long at a time. Three minutes of football for more than two hours of palabre, non-communication, contradictory messages before the groupama stadium speaker announces the only possible decision and desirable in the background: this Lyon-Marseille, poster of 14 e day of the championship will not resume, “the safety of players not assured.” Curtain on a sad evening, this Sunday 21 November.
When he takes out this first corner of the shock of the two “Olympics” in front of the North turn, Dimitri Payet wipes the usual insults for an old Saint-Etienne and receives paper pellets. The risks of the profession, unfortunately. But when the Marseillais collapses, touched by a bottle of mineral water launched from the stands, it’s all French football that feels a hangover. The incident of too much in a season already enamelled by arrested games (six now), floods of land and scarves between supporters.
Resume or not resume, this is the question for Ruddy Buquet, whistle Sunday. She had already arisen at the Nice-Marseille of 23 August, interrupted at the 75 e after a bottle launched towards … payet and the intrusion of some fans on the lawn of the Allianz Riviera. The meeting had never taken again, and Nice will be sanctioned later from a firm penalty point and three matches without a public. At the time, a certain Jean-Michel Aulais pleads, on the subject, the firmness with penalty points against the clubs of the faulty spectators. “This is the only sanction that is really scared”, thus ensures the president of Olympique Lyonnais.
Chick then? Not really. Except that in the present case, the boss of OL has evoked at the Amazon microphone premium “an individual alone, who is not in relation to the supporters’ groups.” A discharge argument for his club if we try to follow him. “We are well organized in terms of security here, he continued. And as the author of the gesture was incarcerated, we think that the match could resume without problem. (…) There was no risk of new projectile jets. “
When the referee contradicts the version of Jean-Michel Aulas
Arrested on the ground, this “Olympico” continued in the classes between Marseillais, shocked and determined not to resume, and Lyonnais ready to return to their lawn. The decision returns to a single man: the referee. According to Mr. Aulas, Ruddy Bug was favorable for a recovery. “We had imagined with the prefect that the match could resume, the arbitrator had decided, so before the Prosecutor, the DDSP (Departmental Director of Public Safety). And when he returned to announce to the players, there was a reaction. violent from Marseille who demanded that Mr. Buquet to ask for news from Dimitri. “
