Ha. You think that's shocking. I've got some Ligue 1 news for you that is far more shocking than that. Prepare yourselves ...
"...Nice pulled off the shock of the evening, matching Manchester City with their own comeback from 2-0 down. Andy Delort was meant to be a marquee addition for Les Aiglons following a brilliant season with Montpellier last year, but he has struggled at times under Christophe Galtier, even losing his place on occasion to Kasper Dolberg. But since scoring the winner off the bench against PSG in early March, he has gone on a tear, scoring 10 goals in that span to help his team stay in the European places despite some uneven defensive displays. He scored the first hat-trick of his career on Saturday as Nice beat Reims 3-2, capping what has been a frustrating season with a place in next year’s Conference League. It may not be the finish the club’s hierarchy had hoped for given their summer outlay, but Nice’s strong finish this season ought to be enough evidence for continuity at the Allianz Riviera...."
This exactly why I asked someone on the Champions League thread if he were French when he said that our country is getting a reputation for hooliganism again (or words to that effect).
The gendarmes have a default setting of attack when there's a crowd but this shit is making it worse.
You'll notice on that video that one stand is already closed which is a punishment by the league for other misdemeanours this season.
Bordeaux will not be promoted from Ligue 2 after French football's governing body handed them a loss for an abandoned match with Rodez.
The game on 2 June was called off when Rodez goalscorer Lucas Buades was pushed over by a pitch invader.
The LFP's decision means Bordeaux finished third, while Rodez avoided relegation at the expense of Annecy. Bordeaux have said they plan to appeal the decision to the French Olympic Committee.
They have also been docked a point for next season and ordered to close their south stand for four games, with two of those suspended.
Bordeaux had to better Metz's result in the final round of matches to win promotion and Rodez needed a victory as they sought to avoid relegation.
Buades was attacked as he celebrated giving his side the lead and was removed on a stretcher. The referee abandoned the game, saying the midfielder had suffered a concussion injury.
Whilst i certainly don't condone the pitch invader and he should be punished and banned for life, i think punishing the club in this way is crazy. Anyone who watches the clip below will know there is absolutely no way the player was concussed or required a stretcher. It was a push, nothing more. Seems that Rodez have done whatever they can to get the game abandoned knowing there was a strong chance they would subsequently be awarded the win, thus keeping them up.

Some times football is just incomprehensible...
