“I'm delighted with what my team showed, but above all I'm frustrated and disappointed for our players.
I repeat it every week, there is a problem with French refereeing.
I will probably take six months, because I told the refereeing body that it was zero, which in my opinion is the vision of the 16,000 people who were in the stadium, ”said Jean-Pierre Caillot in the mixed zone. after the final whistle.

"I know that the small clubs have to come down this year..."
“It's error after error, always bad decisions, we're fed up!
I know that the small clubs have to come down this year, but Mr. (Pascal) Garibian should explain to the referees that the refereeing must be the same everywhere, for everyone.
I am convinced that if it is Paris SG or Lyon, there is a penalty.
It's starting to do well, I'm not impugning their intentions, but at least that the arbitration is the same everywhere, "he added, before getting angry:" There are enough of the French arbitration!
