It was a blog post a week later that revealed the case.

On October 11, during U18 3rd division matches in the Paris region, a referee was insulted and possibly hit by members of JS Pontoise (Val-d'Oise) during the match against Ecouen.

Everything is told in detail, from the first challenge to the referees' decisions in the 56th minute of play until the end of the match, in the 76th.

In the meantime, the referee lived twenty minutes of hell.

First because of an educator, expelled for having contested several decisions when entering the lawn.

Then because of a player, also expelled for threatening an opponent, came to physically attack the referee.

Here is what we can read on the blog: "Towards the referee, forehead to forehead, while she shows him the red card:" What is it you you little bitch, shut up your pussy or I bugger you too, I don't go out, you are going to do what, I am not going out you are going to do what, I stay there and I fuck you all one by one, here we are Pontoisienne, we fuck you me and my team you son of a bitch. "

"

"Never seen that"

Chaos ensues: sexist and humiliating insults towards the referee from players and educators from the sidelines, but also physical threats to assistant referees.

Until the previously sent off player jumps off the handrail, steps onto the pitch and elbows the referee in the head.

The latter then decides to stop the meeting.

Questioned by

20 Minutes

, the coach of the opposing team could not confirm the move.

“That's what I thought I heard, maybe it happened, but I didn't see it.

I was shown a video where we see a gesture that seems to be more to separate than to strike but which ends up reaching the referee.

We see that his face has been touched.

What is certain is that the poor thing was in tears in the locker room afterwards.

"

On the other hand, he admits that "it is the first time" that he has seen "a referee being insulted to this point".

The coach of Ecouen says: "We are talking about sexist insults, totally focused on female attributes," she has her period or what ", things like that, but much more violent.

She was really very tolerant of insults and the way educators across the way.

I don't even understand that she didn't stop the game well before the 75th minute.

The insults came from the supporters, especially the youngsters, but also from the opposing coach.

, the president of JS Pontoise admits to being in shock.

“I didn't expect this story to take on this magnitude,” explains Raoul Lewate.

Two days ago the matter was "trivial", I was not at all aware of all the facts stated by the arbitrator.

I got wind that there had been small problems during the match but not of this seriousness in fact.

For me, it was nothing bad.

It was by reading the first article and receiving lots of calls from journalists that I realized that it was more serious than expected.

If the facts are true, it is very


serious.

"

According to him, the district of Val-d'Oise will meet in an exceptional way its disciplinary committee to rule on the case.

Information that neither the 95 district nor the Football League in the Paris region have yet confirmed to us.

Before that, Raoul Lewate claims to have "decided to take a first step: all players and educators are summoned to the stadium tonight to allow those present on site to give their version of the facts.

If the facts are proven, there will be disciplinary sanction and we will strike them out.

The people in question have already been suspended as a precaution.

This is the first time this has happened to us.

We are a family club, concerned with defending the values ​​of respect and tolerance.
