FC Lorient president Loic Fery has spoken out against what he, and the rest of the Lorient camp, perceive to be incorrect decisions in Sunday’s Breton derby defeat to Stade Brestois 29, reports L’Équipe.
Speaking on X, Fery bemoaned the refereeing performance:
Fery’s comments were in response to refereeing president Gautier’s explanation for his decisions, published in Monday’s edition of L’Équipe in defence of referee Mr. Brisard’s decisions, particularly on what Lorient perceived to be a clear handball by Brest defender Brendan Chardonnet:
Whilst Gautier added that he could understand Fery’s frustration, he also was at pains to articulate that the refereeing process is fair and impartial, despite Lorient not having benefitted from a single penalty decision in their favour this season.
With that being said, there is a growing clamour for refereeing communication to be made public, with Gautier adding that this will be the next stage of making the process more transparent:
