The meeting of Ligue 1 football between Metz and Paris SG was interrupted for three minutes Friday after the deployment by the Ultras Messins a banner deemed homophobic, in full debate over the insults launched from the stands.
"LFP, PSG, let me sing you, to go to you in ...., I will not go on TV, because my words are not very gay," wrote the supporters Mosellans of the western stand, in referring to Angèle's song "Balance ton quoi".
A message that followed insulting chants addressed to the National League ("The League, we're going to ...") before the kickoff, this time starting the turn is.
This is the first time that a PSG match is interrupted for songs or homophobic remarks, two days after the interruption of the game Nice-Marseille.
The meeting was stopped 12 minutes Wednesday after the launch in the stands of the refrain, homophobic character, "The Marseillais is p ...".
In the process, the South Brigade of Nice had multiplied the provocative banners and playing on the words, first with the message: "Welcome to the group Ineos, Nice also we love the pedal", this last word written in letters arc- as the flag of the LGBT community.
Then by unfolding another banner on which one could read: "LFP / Instance: full parking for stadiums more gay", gay also written in rainbow letters. A judicial inquiry was opened by the Nice public prosecutor's office.
Since the first interruption of a match in France for homophobic songs, in Nancy on August 16 - which earned the Lorraine club a suspension from his Piantoni tribune Wednesday--, the French grandstands seem caught in a gear of escalation and provocation.
