After the incidents at the Velodrome stadium on Sunday evening - throwing projectiles, intrusion on the field of a spectator who ran to Lionel Messi - OM could well lose the point dearly acquired against PSG (0-0).
The Marseille club was indeed under the threat of a point withdrawal, a sanction that had been imposed on it with a suspended sentence after the incidents caused by some of its supporters in Angers.
The disciplinary committee of the League, which met this Monday to examine the incidents of Saint-Etienne - Angers, spoke of the situation of Sunday evening but it will not take up the file until its weekly meeting on Wednesday.
The case will then be placed for investigation and the decisions will be known next week, November 3.
Dimitri Payet undoubtedly sensed the problem.
"Thank you to the public who set the fire and were exemplary, but I also saw bottles, chargers, lighters, I have already seen them on me, I know what it is, has it? he declared at the end of the match.
Some people slip, we risk losing points, we can't say that these people like OM.
I am disillusioned, I do not understand, we know that we are being observed, we need real sanctions, we can no longer wait for someone to be injured ”.
Irrecoverable .. at least here there is no aggressiveness, hatred, rather rare so interesting to note it it seems to me .. for the kid it's just a game, not realizing the consequences for his club ( he likes I guess ..) .. I personally don't get it 🧐 pic.twitter.com/LaC317QvdN

On the side of OM, we cling to the idea that the suspended point was imposed for invasion of the field.
Its revocation could therefore only apply to a new case of invasion.
It was not the case.
A penalty in the form of closed session at the bends is more expected on the canebière.
But in a context of the start of the season where incidents are increasing and where the Marseillais had attacked the Niçois firmly after the unrest of August 22, at the Allianz Riviera, the possibility for a supporter to cross the entire lawn of the Vélodrome before tackling Messi in action, risks being considered a serious breach of safety.
Who knows what would have happened if this person had intended to harm the physical integrity of a Parisian?
On the other hand, the incidents outside the Vélodrome stadium during the first period (9 police officers injured, 21 arrests) are not the responsibility of the League which always prefers, moreover, not to communicate on these security files.
