Very ugly spectacle in Nice tonight during Nice-Marseille match in Ligue 1. With about 15 minutes left to play, Nice was up 1-0 when Dimitri Payet received a bottle in the back from the fans. He got upset and sent it back and everything went to hell after that. Nice supporters stormed the field, and fights broke out everywhere. Police had to intervene and the match was stopped. One hour later, the referee tried to resume the match but Marseille players didn't feel safe and didn't want to come back on the field. So, the match was definitely stopped and forfeited. I'm sure there will be investigation and lots of talk about this night.
Up until this, the match wasn't too bad though.

Wow, interesting to know and thanks for sharing
Oh that seems like a huge mess. I am hoping it won't become a regular thing in matches.
Yeah, I'm not sure but I don't think it's really the first time Nice Ultras go way too far. They released a statement today condemning throwing objects on Marseille players, but it's too little, too late. Hopefully, some of them are identified and at least get banned from attending any other games.
I just read that one person was taken into police custody. He allegedly hit one of Marseille players. Not a good idea these days to do something that stupid. With all the cameras and cell phones, there has to be so much evidence.
That seem like a really bad one with bottles flying. Hope this things don't become a norm in the french League. Will be great to see the football authorities stay untop things like this and issue bans to unscrupulous elements who intend to make some league matches a mess.
The matches between Marseille and Nice can be kind of special, as they are kinda close geographically and there's always been a big rivalry between the two clubs for some reasons.
It's too bad though, after a year without fans in the stand, they finally get to attend the matches, and they start acting stupid!
Guess that explains why all the fracas in the matches. Now this some unhealthy rivalry if things could go to such an extent.
So bad from both club supporters. Thought they should be more composed after a while in the stands. Guess such kind of fans never learn
