The Coupe de France draw of the quarters was once marred by way of a unusual incident when the end result was once clear in walk on some other channel. Then the draw took playground, a “funny quack” was once heard coming from the TV studio, important to hypothesis that the end result were leaked previously. The French Soccer Federation (FFF) after showed that the end result had certainly been clear previously, however the FFF stated that it was once a technical factor and now not a planned scatter. The FFF additionally stated that it was once taking measures to cancel any matching problems within the presen.
The draw for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France took playground this Thursday, February 9 and, with the exception of providing an attractive Toulouse-Rodez regional poster, ended in a sun-baked anecdote. Or in lieu, a good-looking improbable mess. Tale and explanations from the broadcaster.
Date he had now not but began at the program “Tout le Sport” on France 3, his end result was once clear on some other channel, on this case beIN SPORTS which had simply began broadcasting the terminating 8th, Lorient-Lens!
Neatly, now not somewhat, because the sports activities journalist Christophe Josse has if truth be told introduced handiest a part of the balls drawn. Part, exactly. Extra precisely nonetheless, two excellent posters out of 4: Marseille-Annecy and Toulouse-Rodez which might be successfully the primary two quarters out of the polls by way of the agent Djibril Cissé; later the commentator finished with Lyon-Nantes and Grenoble vs the winner of Lorient-Lens. There, worry: the (ultimate) verdict will give Lyon-Grenoble and Nantes-Lorient or Lens … The journalist will rectify in stride.

Coupe de France: for the TFC and the RAF, we all know the draw for the quarter-finals!
Therefore the amazement of audience! Did FranceTélévisions retransmit the draw with a negligible extend – which might give an explanation for the primary two excellent suits handiest given at the alternative antenna? Did BeIN SPORTS deliberately “spoil” the alternative channel?…
beIN SPORTS pleads to blame
Not anything of that. Contacted by way of us, beIN known a double “technical and human” error. “We always do a test beforehand, we are told. That is to say, yes, a bogus print. In order to check whether the graphic elements, the visuals of the posters and consequently the four quarters, go back well on our control screen. Clearly, it is about sending data from the OB van to the commentator’s post, who can then read the matches to reveal them to the public. But Christophe was not aware that it was the fictitious draw. Even if the misunderstanding was corrected immediately.”
Holy twist of fate
“In addition, concludes beIN SPORTS, bad luck: the coincidence actually meant that our fake draw was half good with Marseille-Annecy and Toulouse-Rodez.”
Come on, we’re now not striking it again in halves…
