Target of the Niçois after the match between Lyon and the Gym on Friday evening, Clément Turpin took it for his rank this Monday evening on the airwaves of RMC.
The opening match of the 22nd day of L1 between OL and OGCN was not without controversy and controversy. Clément Turpin, on the whistle that evening, today inherits a suitcase of criticism. For all of his work more than for this meeting precisely. On RMC this Monday evening, Jérôme Rothen, in his show, is not kind to the man who is considered the best French referee.
“ Mr. Turpin is not good. Is it arrogance, does he think he’s someone else, or does he see nothing? Is he dishonest or is this incompetence? I don’t know, I don’t know about that. What is certain, and that’s why I think it’s more arrogance, is that we placed him as the best French refereeunderlines the former French international. He is in a box like Stéphanie Frappart, we have placed them in boxes and we no longer even look at what they do on the weekend. These are our two international referees, our two references, the big names and the others you follow. »
Badly influenced referees?
According to Jérôme Rothen’s sources, Clément Turpin would have a harmful influence on other French referees. “ In fact it’s rain or shine. And so, he, this Mr. Turpin who thinks he is someone else, gives the instructions. And I know this because I was told, he gives instructions before matches: “The VAR you don’t call me for nothing”continues the left-hander who played in Paris and Monaco in particular. So the guys have incredible pressure, they don’t take their responsibilities and don’t want to call him because they don’t want to upset Mr. Turpin. Except he makes stupidity after stupidity. And again, this impacts the results. Twice in a row it’s against Nice, it falls on them but it could have fallen on others. So yes, he’s a bad referee! Yes, he has the boulder! (…) What I also don’t understand is that there is no sanction. These guys do stupid things after stupid things and every weekend they referee the best matches. »
It is not Eric Di Meco, on the same airwaves this Monday evening, who will say the opposite. “ It’s a trumpet! He’s not a bad referee, he’s lousy! There are legends in football, it’s fascinating all the same, we decree that a guy is good. And there, there is this legend which is never doubted. Last season I commentated on a Champions League match, he shamed us. At the break, all the commentators came to ask us who it was because he was catastrophic. He shamed us. I turned my head so people wouldn’t come and talk to us. The worst part of this story, you could have been good and been a little less so, but the problem is that he has the melon. »
