“Going to our friends in Castres, where we know, it will be a continuous war, the fans foaming at the lips, no match and a shitty match. Nothing to worry about. I hope that Toulouse sweeps Castres away and that we can laugh and sing after the match.” These comments were made at the end of the week by former Stade Toulouse player Gillian Galan during an article on France Bleu Occitanie.
The former third row was called to present in the Top 14 the match between Castres and Toulouse played on Saturday evening (28-23). With an obvious prejudice against Castres. The word “kin” provoked very strong reactions from OC supporters such as reports Midi-Olympique.
They forced the president of Stade Toulousain to react. “I just wanted to say that under no circumstances can Gillian Galan speak on behalf of and in place of Stade Toulouse. This perhaps helped motivate Castres enough to produce this magnificent second half, and this allows me to congratulate them. You know that Gilliam Galan was tried twice at the Stade Toulouse and we cannot condone these idiotic, incoherent and completely inappropriate comments in the world of rugby. »
He also added. “Again, I don’t mind Gillian’s comments because it’s his business and he has to take full responsibility for it. We absolutely do not take responsibility for them, so I will not allow myself to apologize for him. It’s up to him to do it. Stade Toulouse still wants to play derbies against Castres like the one this weekend, win or lose, but with the joy of everything we know in rugby.”
Contacted by La Dépeche du MidiGalan reacted to the consequences of his article: “It was completely second-rate. I room, I’m like this. But I love Castres, I have good friends who play there! I’m trying to do something that changes, a column that doesn’t get sanitized. I’m honestly sorry, it hurts my heart if he hurts people! That wasn’t the goal. I responded to everyone who wrote to me on the networks. »
