After the elimination of the Girondins de Bordeaux in the Coupe de France, Bruno Irlès returned to the big controversy of the previous round.
In addition to fighting for promotion to National 2, the Girondins de Bordeaux hoped to offer themselves a ray of sunshine with a good run in the Coupe de France. For the Aquitaine club, there will unfortunately be no exploit against a Ligue 1 or Ligue 2.
The Marine et Blanc were eliminated in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France on Sunday at Le Puy (National). Brave, the Girondins resisted well but
the meeting turned on two refereeing decisions. A red card which seems severe for Etonde (68th), and a penalty which also did not seem extremely obvious in added time (90th+1), for the only goal of the match.
Bordeaux, Bruno Irlès cannot digest
The Coupe de France ends there for the Bordelais, and it will not have left only good memories. In the previous round, one of the assistant coaches, Wilfrid Rastoll, was accused of having made insulting and homophobic remarks towards the referee. He received a one-year suspension, including nine months.
An unfair sanction, according to Aquitaine coach Bruno Irlès.
“We talk a lot about my deputy, who recently took the first decision of a firm nine-month suspension (plus three months suspended), explained
the Girondin coach at a press conference. I am next to the deputy during the incident. I listen, I know and I have honesty. I would not allow myself to make a sworn statement with untruthful remarks. »
