  • Monday in front of the press, the president of the TFC Olivier Sadran swept the news of the last one of Ligue 1, whose complicated reports with certain supporters.
  • The boss of the last Ligue 1 deplored "a period of violence and aggression".
  • His allusion to the death of Brice Taton, supporter of the Indians attacked by Serbian hooligans in 2009 in Belgrade, was unwelcome by many fans of the club.

This is a remark that has not passed on to many TFC fans. Monday, during his press conference at the Stadium, President Olivier Sadran notably mentioned the very complicated reports with certain supporters of the last Ligue 1.

"While this has hardly existed at the Toulouse Football Club since 2001, I am very sorry that we have entered a period of violence and aggression, a period when people are outlawing, launched the club's boss, in an allusion to the incidents during the reception of Reims (0-1), on December 14. I feel like we really forgot about the episode from Serbia. "

On September 17, 2009, Brice Taton, a member of the Indians Tolosa ultra group, had been attacked by hooligans from Partizan Belgrade, on the sidelines of the Europa League meeting between this club from the Serbian capital and the TFC. The 28-year-old died 12 days later in a local hospital. Olivier Sadran developed:

“That day, the club was there. There to mourn, there to support the family. I think we forgot that. What we see today makes me think that we can arrive at absolutely catastrophic situations and that, I cannot let it happen. "

Furious at this comparison, the Indians evoke on Twitter "scandalous remarks" and await "an apology from Olivier Sadran and Toulouse FC".

The ultra group, installed in the east bend of the Stadium renamed Brice-Taton since the drama, is breaking with the leaders, a fracture that continues to worsen since incidents after a TFC-Lille (2-3 ), May 6, 2018.

In the last minutes of the match against Reims, during the last home game of 2019, around twenty supporters approached the presidential platform before being pushed back by security, initially taken aback.

"Everyone must control themselves"

"Let it go, I can't," said Olivier Sadran to the media, promising to continue to file a complaint for each incident. Smoking is prohibited. It is prohibited to arrive with a kick on the back on a young woman who is doing security and knock over a barrier on it. Without being a lesson giver, and whatever the frustration, everyone must control themselves. "

Saturday in the Loiret, during the lost French Cup match (1-0) against Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Hilaire (National 2), the Indians were evacuated by the police after, in particular, jets of fumigants.

Return to the stadium on Saturday against Brest

"That a fringe of supporters is not satisfied with the results, we understand it, we would be less and this is my case," added Sadran. We really need our supporters. But we also need the stadium to be a place where we can come safely. "

After ten defeats in a row, all competitions combined, the TFC will receive Brest, Saturday in Ligue 1, for the start of the Denis Zanko era.
