“He and Rodez’s keeper went into the delegate’s office and I followed them. I listened to what Rodez’s keeper said to the delegate and when he finished I apologized to the keeper, the player at the name of the club. I also apologize to Pierre-Olivier Murat, also on behalf of the club. “

Comolli also said he would not stop there on sanctions: “I had a discussion with our security director. We also just discussed with one of the stewards. We will of course try to identify the individual. The guard of but described to me a little to what he looked like, how he was dressed and where he was sitting.

“I am absolutely disgusted. It would tear my mouth out to say it so I would rather not say it but these are absolutely abject words. Rodez’s keeper told me that he had been told it twice. I know exactly. what was said but I can’t say it because it would make me sick. “
