Remarkable: Patro Eisden plays a top match against Deinze with reservations… because the ref lives a stone’s throw from Deinze

Ref Simon Bourdeaud’Hui and Patro coach Stijn Stijnen.

The top match between Patro Eisden Maasmechelen and KMSK Deinze is on the program tonight. However, coach Stijn Stijnen’s troops do so with reservations. The Limburg club just announced this. The reason? According to the Limburgers, Simon Bourdeaud’Hui lives too close to Deinze to objectively lead the match.

The tension in the Challenger Pro League is gradually starting to rise. The top match between Patro Eisden Maasmechelen, number five in the rankings, and Deinze, number two in the rankings, promises to be a nail-biter. Yet the match takes on a dark edge. Patro Eisden Maasmechelen announced today that it will start the match with reservations as long as no new ref is appointed. The reason? Referee Simon Bourdeaud’Hui is said to live too close to Deinze to direct the match.

“We have taken note of the Referee Department’s decision to appoint Simon Bourdeaud’Hui as referee for this match. Given the importance of the match and at this stage of the competition, we find it incomprehensible and unacceptable that a referee is appointed who lives a stone’s throw from the stadium of our opponent KMSK Deinze. We also do not think it is right for Simon Bourdeaud’Hui that he was appointed for this match,” it says on the club website.

“Our club representatives have already contacted the Referee Department to raise this issue and we hope and expect that there will be a change in this designation. This is in the interest of the integrity of the further course of the competition. Pending the final decision of the Referee Department, we as Patro Eisden Maasmechelen will therefore start the match with reservations.”
