unapologetic pedant Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just seen a perfect example of what`s wrong with modern RL officiating. Saint-Gaudens player goes into a tackle, the ball pops out behind him, officials have no idea how it happened, but they still stop the game and call something. They will not play on when the ball comes loose. Even if the ref wants to, the touch judge will intervene. This is common now across the world - any doubt and they blow the whistle or put the flag up and make a call based on guesswork. It`s spoiling the game, yet nobody in media or administration sees a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Saint-Gaudens 2:26 Avignon at FT. Saint-Gaudens were unlucky late on, as a promising interception was almost immediately followed by the player pulling up lame.

It`s spoiling the game, yet nobody in media or administration sees a problem. French refs blow for everything. I've 20 years of experience with them over here. Only one or two let a game flow. The rest like to be in the spotlight and are very picky. Yes the fault is there for alot of things but if you let small things go for both teams you get a better game. As you say the touch judge wantd to ref the game too. The number of times you hear the touch judge calling every slight decision through his microphone /ear piece when I'm on the side line.

ATLANTISMAN Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 What is encouraging for me is the You Tube/Facebook viewing figures most matches can creep up to 1000 which is great. A proper You Tube channel fully promoted with 1 match a week on a Monday evening can be a huge success and 10000 viewers is easily doable.

Paul Bonjour Paul, Am I right in saying you met with the federation recently to discuss streaming for next season? And did I dream the fact you’re expiring English commentary? I’ve been loving the streams recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested that we should have an English commentary alongside the main French one (Monday nights) I expect to hear from them in a few days but looking good I think. It will help with sponsors as my estimate is that 50% of the potential LED advertisers will be overseas companies the remaining 50% the Fed and clubs (Forget big companies in Paris its better to look to the USA etc as they have no preconceptions Union v League to them its FRANCE which is one of the 6 largest economies on the planet) Other thing with You Tube its very transparent when it comes to the viewing figures I think 10000 is achievable for Monday evenings.

langpark Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 3 hours ago, The Daddy said: The Albi-Carcassonne game had 3200 views on YouTube the last time I checked That's not the most reliable figure to be looking at. During the match, at any one time (I did not see the match), the figure was probably somewhere between 500 and 1000. For me, this is the most reliable figure to be taking notice of. Today's match, St Gaudens vs Avignon, for example, averaged about 500 viewers and peaked just before half-time, at just under 600. I think, like in many countries, the French fans are parochial, so if their team is playing, they watch, if their team is not playing, they don't watch. St Gaudens matches, for example, get noticably lower figures than St Esteve, Carcassonne, Lezignan etc. I think the tragics (neutrals) like us, are probably 10-20% of the viewers each time. But I have seen several matches crack the 1000 barrier, which is good and hopefully it can keep getting even bigger over time. Regarding today's game, I enjoyed it, the scoreline was a bit harsh on St Gaudens, as they could/should have scored a few times. But of course, Avignon always looked in control. Small pet hate about the French League: The "very casual" attitude of the trainers. They seem to linger on the field a lot and not be in a particular hurry to get out of the way when play is heading towards them. Also "casual" in terms of their appearance and how they are dressed. Doesn't exactly help the overall image of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 They're usually very strict on thre trainer rules. I noticed justin Murphy going onto the field when there wad an injury They're probably letting it go for some reason. Usually its a running batle with the match commissioner, the fourth official and the trainers /water runners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching French League for years and have only really noticed it creeping in over the last few weeks/months. I saw the ref had words with one of the trainers at one point. Perhaps a crackdown is coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
