The cleaners wanted some overtime and threw a bit of litter on the floor. 

French cleaners would have taken one look... and gone out on strike! "We're cleaners. What do you expect us to do? Clean!??"

 

This rivals pizzagate! 

 

Non, mais je vais laisser tomber. C'est une blague, pas sérieux, n'importe.

That millionaire players knowingly throw away their waste, what respect not only for the club which welcomes them, but also for those who are in charge of the cleaning... the rich who make fun of the poor.  What a mentality!  I put the translation, just to emphasize that footballers from other clubs (even Nantes, that is to say!) do not have this behavior.  You may call us bad losers, but your players are very sad winners!  No excuses.

 Rennais Stadium

 Rennais Stadium.  Not very gentlemanly, Leicester leaves its locker room in a sorry state

 The day after Stade Rennais' elimination in the round of 16 of the Europa League Conference against Leicester on Thursday, March 17, several photos showed the deplorable state of the visitor's locker room at Roazhon Park after the departure of the English team.  A finding that shocked the Breton club, including the chairman of the board of directors, Jacques Delanoé

 Stade Rennais had already emerged frustrated from their round of 16 Europa League Conference against Leicester on Thursday March 17 (2-1 winner at Roazhon Park but eliminated after their 2-0 defeat in the first leg).  The state of the visitor's locker room after the departure of the English, noted after the match, added to the annoyance on the side of the SRFC: waste on the ground, on the table or in the individual lockers.

 A lack of good manners which notably "surprised and shocked" Jacques Delanoë, chairman of the board of directors of Stade Rennais, who highlights the good relations between the leaders of Rennes and Leciester on this double confrontation: "It's  went very well, they received us well in Leicester and we received them well in Rennes.  But for the Rennes manager, the behavior of the team coached by Brendan Rodgers is likely to tarnish the "image" of the English champion club in 2016.

 “It is unworthy of a club that has been champion of England, I find it totally lamentable.  I think we saw that once in Rennes and I think it was already an English club.  The image of a club is on the pitch but also in the way you leave an opposing club.  I can tell you that at Stade Rennais, we always make sure to leave a clean locker room.  And Jacques Delanoë added to conclude: "Unfortunately we had already had the opportunity in the past to taste the famous English fair play bitterly, here is once again proof that gentlemen are undoubtedly more on the side of Brittany than  of Great Britain…”

Mate, Im trying to be kind here but fxking move on will ya, you lost, its got nothing to do with VAR, nothing to do with litter, its just not that deep. You're putting together a brilliant season in your league and yet all you seem to care about is the game you lost last Thursday

[Roazhon]

Ha but, we think a lot about the end of the championship, and a European place!  But in the past Rennes have been too nice, and I'm quite satisfied that the club has finally reacted!  And then there's this too:😁

Je pensais que Rennes sous Tait était bon dès le départ en dépassant nos joueurs et en passant. 

Ça ne le dérangerait pas ici en été

If we do not know if he will stay in Rennes, we must know that for more than one season Tait was very bad, lost on the field.  Then with the arrival of Génésio, and his agreement with Majer, he regained all his qualities and his importance in the game, knowing how to break the lines.  He is a player who needs confidence, sensitive, and who can have problems adapting.  In any case, I do not imagine for a moment that he signs in Leicester, after these European matches!

A post below, it is said that Truffert is also one of our best players.  International hopefuls, he is in competition with Meling, who is most often the holder.  His last games have been good, but that needs confirmation.  We have to see if his weaknesses (marking, defensive placement, often rough overflows) disappear at the end of the season, if ever Meling played less.

[Roazhon]

One last thing, for those who called the players mourners, who criticized their behavior.  Mourners do not know how to react, are negative.  Quite the opposite of Sunday's game.  Why ?  Because they are humble players, at the service of the collective, in osmosis with the public.  For the clapping, the players chose the young defender Belocian17 years old, we see him delighted in the images.  In short, it's a team that doesn't cheat, that tries to play, it's no coincidence that its relationship with the public is exceptional.  That's it, I wanted to underline it, because permanent irony cannot be reality.

How did Metz leave the locker room?

il y a 35 minutes, mozartfox a dit :

Commentaire Metz at-il quitté le vestiaire ?

 

Like all the teams, except... But you see, when irony replaces honesty, it's a form of denial.

That's all very well. However, many Leicester City fans have come away from the matches with a poor impression of Rennes, not the fans support, but the ungracious and unsporting comments and behaviour of some club officials. Some of which has been classless and leaves a bitter taste which is a shame given the way the football was contested. I didn't know much about Rennes before but I think they are a good club and hope they learn in the future how to accept defeat. 

[Ric Flair]

Can we all have a whip round to buy Rennes some more bins and more nappies.

[Roazhon]

The criticism was mainly directed at the refereeing, not at the Leicester club, although the dressing room story was too much and there was no apology.  This story of arbitration follows others, and always against English clubs, so we can understand the nervousness (for once!).  But as I illustrated, it's a real team, and not the caricature that I could read.

[K1FOX]

Rennes fans are like Leicester fans but with passion in the stands too. Ours moan about everything and deliver nothing in the stands

Did Rennes apologise for their behaviour towards club staff?

[fuchsntf]

So our closed season Friendly is all Set up..!!!

Against Rennes..in Rennes,..With Changing Rooms outside, and officials...playing the Cleaning staff..

[fazzyfox]

Why did the injury hit Leicester team leave a mess in the changing rooms?

Because they didn't have any Sweepers available!

 

[Weller Wing]

Pity Robbie Savage wasn't still playing for us as he's been known to do a 'party piece' in the refs changing room 😄

He didn't give them every decision in the game.

Few salty frog’s legs in here

[Staff]

The way the Rennes players acted after the game was ended, and even more so the manager, with absolutely no respect for us whatsoever, I would have left more than a bit of rubbish on the floor. Literally the most most bitter club I've ever seen, it's pathetic

Refused to shake Rodgers hand. What do you expect.

[dmayne7]

I'm a total stickler for manners and all that so would expect the players to show respect and clean up some of the mess (which they clearly did hence the bin being full) but even so, you'd think that a top flight club in France, hosting a European match would have the cleaning staff to clean up that little bit of mess and not expect top flight footballers to go around cleaning up every bit of mess. Got to remember this is a football changing room and not an office or somebody's home so there's going to be a bit of mess. As has been said, we've never had any complaints from elsewhere so this just reflects badly on Rennes which is a shame given the passionate support.

[st albans fox]

It’s clear that Rennes badly wanted to progress in this tournament - contrast with our failure in the EL last season where we accepted that we were more likely to make CL via the PL 

 

makes our victory even more sweet ….
