French women's match called off over headscarves
AFP ^ | March 18, 2012

A referee on Sunday refused to officiate a French women's football match, when players for one of the teams took the pitch wearing Muslim headscarves, the club involved said.

The official sent a report to the Languedoc-Roussillon league in the south of the country about the incident involving players from Petit-Bard Montpellier, who had been due to play Narbonne in the regional promotion tie.

The league must now decide whether to order the match to be replayed or to award a win to Narbonne.

The women have to take off the head scarves as they are NOT allowed in the game. If they don’t wanna play by the rules, why the HELL do they bother?

i can still remember when it seemed reasonable that a restaurant owner could do business with who-ever he chose.

exactly they knew the rules and also the law in France and yet they still force their crap onto the country .

Also why are those flags in the background flying, they’re in France not the third world cesspit they proclaim to love?

It's all the fault of all those drugs the boomers jammed into their brains. They PROMISED that the drugs were cool, harmless and would be good for them.
They lied and now those brain-dead/damaged boomers are in charge of things, elected officials, media boobs, all over the western world. The more conservative non-western world didn't allow those drugs and thereby their boomers are normal...and run their world. That's why our world looks so screwed up...because it is.

The boomerboobs will die out and things will get back to normal for us.

Most leagues have similar rules regarding ANYTHING that is wrapped around the neck, from necklace chains (with or without a Christian cross or Star of David), neck warmers, scarves, physio tape, etc.

Choking hazards are choking hazards.

Additionally, there are rules against padded headgear for all but the goalie. Decades ago cheeky players were using headwraps to create flat surfaces on the forehead for headers.

NO exceptions.

The wages of colonialism--all those conquered people get to go to the home of their conquerors. Happens in the U.K. too. Glad we didn't go the colonial route. People who come here as immmigrants, that would be everyone, have to WORK. Lol. I hear them complain, on rare occasions, about how MUCH Americans work for their "streets of gold." Then they bring up taxes.

I read once that 1 out of every 3 immmigrants GOES BACK HOME. No free lunches here.

get rid of all the welfare and handouts and they’ll be running home in no time but the left does not want borders, they would love to see white first rate Christian countries turn into cess pits but the thick idiots have not figured out that they too can have the fruits of islam while their rich masters like obama, Buffett and Soros all piss off away to another place .

Looking at the photo, I wonder.... Are those GUYS wearing the burkhas? Nothing very feminine about their faces or their physiques. /s

They do kick like girls though! :-)

you’re absolutely right. France banned head scarves, as well they should, and I have to commend the person who refused to continue as ref. If you don’t like the rules, get the hell out of the game.

the ref has more balls than most in the GOP put together and good fro the ref.

France was very clear no more of their head dress and yet they broke the law, they then made a team up, they then went into a tournament knowing they would not only break the law but also break the rules .

These muslims need to be told every day that they are in the west now, don’t like it then go back home and if they’re a native of which most are not in France then give your cult up or go by the laws.

They also look ridiculous. Muslim women do not need to cover up like that and look like a condom, no they were asked in one survey from the UK why and most said to let the country know they were muslim.
Translation , in your face to hell with you

Perhaps, but I kind of like the idea of booking every player who come out onto the pitch wearing illegal gear, and then issuing them a second yellow (and therefore a red) if they persisted in the violation. Let's see what kind of score an 11-on-0 side can put up in 90 minutes.
