Ligue 1. The incidents in Saint-Etienne studied this Monday

The Disciplinary Committee will examine this Monday the incidents that occurred to Geoffroy Guichard on Saturday during the meeting between Saint-Etienne and Monaco, which was interrupted for a long time on Saturday.

The match was stopped twice after throwing smoke bombs, especially the second time when the break lasted thirty minutes while some ultras from Saint-Etienne celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Green Angels with smoke bombs and fireworks.

The Greens already sanctioned this season

After sending the players back to the locker room, the referee ended up ordering the resumption of the match after a crisis unit including referees, authorities and clubs.

This is not the first overflow involving supporters since the start of the season, especially in Saint-Etienne, which was already affected last October when the kick-off of the match against Angers was delayed by thirty minutes.

Nancy – Quevilly-Rouen also studied

These actions could be worth heavy disciplinary sanctions to the Greens who are already struggling to ensure their maintenance. The club has already been sentenced to a total closed session with suspension last January for using pyrotechnic devices during a match against Nantes on December 22. And on February 16, the same committee issued a suspended grandstand closure sanction for two matches for similar incidents against Montpellier.

The commission could decide on the total closed session at home until the end of the season, or even for a possible dam against a Ligue 2 team.

The incidents that occurred on Friday in Ligue 2 between Nancy and Quevilly-Rouen will also be studied. The meeting was definitively stopped in the 40th minute after supporters threw smoke bombs protesting against Nancy’s relegation. The club risks defeat on green carpet, which would seal relegation to National.
