the Channel Football Club is a well-known institution among football fans. The show has been on Canal + since 2008 headed by host Hervé Mathoux. A show devoted to football and in which we have long found the troublemaker Pierre Ménès or the journalist Marie Portolano. In this band of football specialists, we find for many years Dominique Armand. The journalist is a connoisseur specializing in the statistics that he distils throughout the show.
A respected figure in the world of sports journalism, the latter saw his image tarnished a few hours ago, this Thursday, May 19, 2022, after a very problematic comment sent to the journalist Marion Aydalot. On her Instagram account, the journalist, also specializing in sport, shared a screenshot of a comment from Dominique Armand following one of his stories. In the photo, we see the young woman taking a selfie indicating that she is in a famous café-brasserie in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, At the Three Shells. The Canal + journalist then simply wrote, “The 2 shells” in response to the photo.
A very tendentious pun which was not at all to the taste of Marion Aydalot, who did not hesitate to display Dominique Armand by publishing their conversation in his story. “The guy is a journalist!!!”she protests, before continuing: “Guys, don’t try this kind of stuff with me!!! I post without any embarrassment”. A story that aroused multiple reactions and which was taken up by several media specializing in football.
