Damien Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 4 minutes ago, Hvy wg said: Carpentras is a nightmare. They got players suspended all year long, one even had a 20 games ban. They're violent and pretty much proud of it. Years ago in the u16 final they were losing to Lezignan and decided to hit the players, even kicking those on the ground. One of their player stated he was proud of having "fuc*ed" Lezignan Earlier this year, they started a fight at Villeneuve Minervois and their fans stormed the pitch. It's club culture. That sounds like something from an amateur club rather than a supposed professional one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A video of the incident was on L'independant website, so it would have been pretty difficult to deny. I believe the person who made the remarks also phoned up the Carpentras player to apologise, as did one of the VARL players present at the awards. Seems to me, looking at the pictures in the newspaper, that it would be impossible for a spectator to have physically done anything - the barriers round the ground prevent that. And if there were comments made by a spectator that sparked things off, the touch judge and plenty of other people would also have heard them. A lot of people seem to think it was a premeditated action by Carpentras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start losing and all of a sudden there are "racists slurs" and they didn't want to resume playing minutes after the fight. They're trying to get VARL disqualified to get to the final.

audois Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Down the ladder titles go to Catalan teams. As well as Ille-sur-Tet N1winners add N2 winners Salses 24-20 La Reole-Begles too. Baho wil challenge Villegailhenc for the Elite 2 title while St Esteve play the Elite 1 semi finals. Concentric circles eminate out from Stade Gilbert Brutus deepening the codes foot print in the region.Could Toulouse Olympique do the same - in time.

Eddie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Does anyone know what sort of attendances they get in Elite 1? I have searched online but can only find them from the cup final and grand finals, on Wikipedia - they seem to generally be between 5 - 8,000 but I assume league gates are a lot less? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just goes to show what a crazy waste of time it is for French teams have to leave French Elite One for UK Championship One in order to attempt to get a spot in Super League. A European structure that helps the French Elite improve standards and is recognized as a pathway to Super league along side Championship one clubs is needed in my opinion.

Hvy wg Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It has been decided today that VARL will go on to the final. Carpentras player banned "sine die". Got what they deserved me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 They give sine die when they make the decision the week after, one of the players has had his players license taken away, but he was banned against villeneuve minervois a few months ago for a lot of games and he left threats on the fédération answer machine, that's why he's had his license removed, the others from the villeghailhanc game have received 2 to 4 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Not ideal for Villegailhenc to organise stuff with only 3 days until the final. I guess the same thing in Elite 1 last year. I hope Carpentras will sort themselves out rather than simply quitting the sport as has sometimes happened in the past. Not a great look when you have members of the disciplinary commission posting comments on facebook and players' wives arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why Avignon don't get more? Given it's got a decent size population and their crowds for internationals I would have expected them to be one of the highest.

barnyia Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Rugby league in France has maximum 20000 fans that go to games, when the French team play nz or Australia the fans travel from all over the south of France, Avignon sell the event very well but when you go to an international, a final,catalans game or Toulouse you see alot of the same faces.

audois Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Championship Final at Albi next Saturday a repeat of the Lord Derby Cup Final after the Baby Dracs turned over Lezignan for the first time this year with something to spare. Carcassonne 20-16 Limoux (after extra-time) St Esteve 38-18 Lezignan At Domec Limoux pushed the Canaris all the way as they have all season. Kiwi full back Tony Tumusa made the difference it seemed scoring the equalising try at the end of nomal time and then the gave the decisive pass to Nabil Djlout to give the hosts the victory. 6pm KO at Albi to be televised by Occitanie "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?
