Are we heading towards the winter soap opera? The day after the statements of Laurent Dufour, coach of ASPTT Caen angered by the decision of the Normandy Football League to replay the match – won – against Deauville in Regional 1, his Deauville counterpart in turn expressed his anger. “We are all scandalized at the club, proclaims Jamal El Ghabbar. What text plans to replay the match in this case? Any ! “
A phone call that doesn’t get through …
Small reminder of the facts. On Saturday, December 4, 2021, the ASPTT Caen had established Exaucé Loso Mputela, expelled in the previous match, after receiving oral assurance by the LFN disciplinary committee that the central defender’s red card had been canceled. No written record, however, accompanied the phone call. Officially, the Loso Mputela case had not been decided. However, the regulations are clear: “any license holder excluded from an official competition match by decision of the referee is automatically suspended for the next official competition match”.
For Deauville, the player was suspended
It is on this basis that AS Trouville-Deauville, beaten 2-0 at La Hache, made a reservation at the end of the debates. The Settlements and Litigation Committee then took up the subject, which is not neutral from a regulatory point of view *. For the Côte Fleurie club, in the fight at the bottom of the table, no doubt is allowed: Exaucé Loso Mputela played while he was suspended.
We have to win this game 3-0 on the green carpet.
The ASTD does not take off. “There is only the written word that speaks. It is not possible to cancel a red card with a simple phone call! It is not done without commission either. »Was there an administrative error in the management of this file? It’s possible. The disciplinary committee does not wish to speak while the proceedings are in progress. “That the League assumes its balls”, slice Jamal El Ghabbar, as Laurent Dufour had done before him.
Deauville will fight
Deauville is determined not to replay the match and to pocket the three points of victory. The club appealed against the decision of the second instance committee. “If not, we will go to the federation, then even further. We find the decision scandalous. But we follow the texts. ”
* In the event of a reservation after the match (and accepted), the two teams are declared the losers and the one in question has one more penalty point. Unless the Settlements and Litigation Commission asserts its right of evocation, as in the present case.
