The appeal of Olympique de Marseille, which challenged the decisions of the Professional Football League (LFP) after the incidents that occurred in November during the Lyon-OM match in Ligue 1, was ruled inadmissible by the French Federation. The Higher Appeal Commission of the Federation (FFF) ruled the call “inadmissible“because OM was”not concerned” through punishments disciplinary initials, specifies AFP.
In the first instance, the disciplinary committee of the LFP had sanctioned OL with a penalty point in the standings, for the behavior of one of his supporters who had thrown a plastic bottle at Marseillais Dimitri Payet during this match played on November 21. The match, interrupted after four minutes, was given to replay in the walls of OL in Décines, behind closed doors. It has not yet been reprogrammed.
OM had asked for a sentence “obviously greater than two points, one of which is suspended, the loss of points being inevitable“. The management of the Marseille club also hoped to win the meeting on the green carpet. OL, defender of the thesis of”the individual and isolated act“, also regretted in a press release”a very heavy penalty“, but had not appealed to the FFF.
