MISS REFEREE. Sundays' game was officiated by a lady referee, and it has to be said that Mademoiselle Stéphanie Frappart has been one of the better referees we have seen this season. A virtually fautless performance in contrast to the chap last weekend. Good luck to her, and we hope that this is just the start of a great career for her in the game. Who knows, one day she may just be in the centre for a World Cup game !    DH WEEK 21 RESULTS ORLY - COSMO : 3-0 (0-0).

Following the match Paris FC v Arménienne (1-0), on the 15th February, players and officials came to blows in the dressing rooms. As a result both clubs have been deducted two points, Paris FC will have to play one home match away from their Porte de Montreuil stadium, a club official have been suspended for three season and one player from each club has been suspended for two years: Malik Tshibamba (Paris FC) & Dickenson (Arménienne). Both clubs have appealed.

Stade Bauer had yet another English visitor on Sunday, a Dulwich Hamlet supporter popped along to see the best Parisian club in action (!!). Unfortunately we didn't get his name, so if the gentleman in question is reading this, or someone that knows him, please could he get in touch with us at john@allezredstar.com. Thanks ! Incidentally, if you're making a trip to Paris, why not pop along too to Stade Bauer, only ten minutes from the city centre by train... Paris is only two and a half hours from London by Eurostar, and hotels are really very cheap in Paris. If you're coming, let us know : john@allezredstar.com. Are you the man on the left ?

COACH JEAN-LUC GIRARD NAMES HIS SQUAD, for the home game against Meaux : Mikaël Germain - Philippe Cuervo, Youssouf Dao, Kaba Diomande, Vincent Fourneuf, Bilal Hammami - Jérémy Budoc, Yoann Delaneuville, Reevis N’Simba, Yves Desmarets, Karim Fellahi - Alhaji Baldé, Franck Guei, Philippe Marques. RED STAR DOCKED FOUR POINTS. Because they fielded André Latt-Agnes against Aubervilliers, and this player has since been deemed to have been ineligible to play for Red Star, four point have been deducted from Red Stars' tally of points, and three added to Aubervilliers. This means that Red Star slip to tenth place, dangerously close to the relegation zone. Red Star really must win at all costs on Sunday against Meaux in order to distance themselves from the relegation area. Of course we will alaso have to prepare a special welcome for our visitors when Aubervilliers travel to play at Stade Bauer for the last match of the season, in May. RESULT. The final score of Sundays' game against Meaux will be posted onto our mini site on Sunday evening. DH WEEK 18. Villemomble (1st) - Saint-Leu (4th) and Cosmo (5th) - Racing (2nd). Orly (3rd) v Brétigny (14th); Arménienne (5th) v Paris SG (8th); Evry (10th) v Paris FC (12th); Aubervilliers (9th) v Versailles (11th). OFFICIALS. Red Star v Meaux will be refereed by Christophe Antonio, who has already officiated twice this season at Bauer, for two defeats for Red Star (Villemomble & Versailles).

Red Star sent their reserve team out to play Choisy. Coached by Francesco Scaratti, only four first-team regulars were on the pitch : Budoc, Marques, Yessad and Benmesmoudi, returnng from a long injury. Choisy also fielded a reserve eleven, wit the exception of striker Sorbet. Despite a bright start, Red Star fell behind on the half-hour to Soumahone. Hadjedj equalised just before the break (41st). In the 73rd minute Red Star went ahead with a second goal from Hadjedj and wrapped things up in injury time with a goal from Delmas, brother of Red Stars' second goalie Laurent (92nd).

Jacky Lemée, nowadays coach at Meaux was at the helm at Red Star for only a few months before getting the boot following a pitiful 3-3 draw against Pacy-sur-Eure in 2000. He had arrived only a few days before the kick-off of a new season, a season which started badly and ended with the relegation of Red Star into the CFA. He was coach for ten games, and won only once, against Besançon. After Red Star Jacky Lemée has hardly experienced success. The season he left Red Star he finished it at Thouars who also were relegated from the National; he then moved on to Limoges (CFA), a club relegated due to financial problems; Mulhouse, (CFA), a club aiming for the National but today on the verge of liquidation; finally since November, Jacky Lemée has taken over at Meaux with the aim of avoiding relegation.    Jacky Lemée, in the colors of Stade Français.

A stadium capable of holding 19 000, of which only seventy-odd had bums on seats. Were it not for the Red Star possee, the attendance would have been even lower. The pitch was woeful, through over-use (American rules in the morning, two matches the previous day). Add to this crap refereeing which allowed the home side to score a late late winner from a very offside position, it all adds up to a day to forget.

David Giguets' youngsters travelled a day earlier to Metz and took in the game Metz v Lens (0-2). This gave the youngsters the chance to see a former Red Star prodigy, goalkeeper Charles Itandje, now plying his trade at Lens. The influence factor obviously didn't work as the following day metzs' under 16s ran out 2-0 winners. UNDER 14s. Red Star beat Le Havre Municipaux (3-0). RESERVES : DSR. Red Star - Torcy : 0-2 COUPE DE PARIS. The draw has given Red Star a tough task with a difficult draw away at Choisy-le-Roi (CFA).

RED STAR TEAM FOR TOMORROW. Coach Jean-Luc Girard has named a squad of fifteen for the visit of Saint-Leu Plessis Bouchard FC 95 tomorrow : Mikaël Germain - Philippe Cuervo, Youssouf Dao, Kaba Diomande, Vincent Fourneuf, Bilal Hammami, Nabile Yessad - Jérémy Budoc, Yoann Delaneuville, Reevis N’Simba, Yves Desmarets, Karim Fellahi - Alhaji Baldé, Franck Guei, Philippe Marques. Injured : Azzedine Benmesmoudi. Front: Franck Guei, Vince Fourneuf, Yoann Delaneuville & Reevis N’Simba SAINT-LEU. A few facts about Saturdays' visitors. Firstly, it should be mentioned that nearly five months have elapsed since Red Stars' last home win in the league at Stade Bauer. Four points for the win would be a much-needed boost to put a bit of daylight between Red Star and the clubs at the wrong end of the table. However, third placed Saint-Leu have a fantastic away record, six wins and one draw on their travels since the start of the championship and more importantly, no defeats. Unfortunately for Gigis' men, the boys at the weather forecasters have announced bad weather for the coming weekend, which given the state of the pitch at Bauer hardly helps the footballers of Red Star. The game will be refereed by Serge Rosio and his assistants Stéphane Gandrille & Kaddour Berrara. The score will be available early Sunay evening on our mini-site PREDICTIONS. If you're feeling brave, on our message board we are running a score prediction competition. Just put down the final score and the time of the first goal (if any). We'll bung some goodies to the winner. ALSO IN THE DH THIS WEEKEND. Match of the day between the first placed Villemomble at home to seond placed Racing.

VILLEMOMBLE. One fairly common piece of advice given to travelling fans is usually to look for the floodlights and you'll find the ground. Except at Rotherham, where you'll most likely end up in one of the scrapyards around Milmoor. Well, the advice worked well on Sunday - the pylons at Villemomble must be some of the biggest in local football. The directions given on the web were reasonably accurate, the ground easy to find and parking relatively easy. For a suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, Villemomble came as something of a surprise - instead of the usual blocks of drab 60s concrete blocks, the ground is surrounded by pleasant streets of detached houses, some very nice indeed. At the other side of the ground there is a massive high-rise which overlooks the pitch, but quite well-maintained. A railway line in a cutting separates the ground from this edifice. The main stand is tidy - what they appear to have done is to have built on to the top of the dressing rooms block, putting some seating in front and under the overhang of the roof, thus giving the impression of a sizeable two-tier stand. Opposite there is a bank of open terracing which curls away round one corner before suddenly stopping. Only black spot on the setup is the presence of street light pylons around the perimeter of the running track. Five euros to get in, some of Red Stars' fans thought it a bit steep, but to me the game itself was worth the entry fee. Of course clubs like Villemomble need every penny to survive. No less than three of Red Stars' directors present again; nice to see Messrs Charrier, Delanoe and Duraincie there, chatting amiably with the supporters. What a contrast to last season ! In fact we spent the last ten minutes or so stood with Eric Charrier, anxious as us - man of the people, top bloke. Also worthy of a mention is former Red Star captain and current Villemomble player Mickaël Santos, who took the effort to shake our hands at the end of the game. Top bloke Mika. Not too often that AllezRedStar.com gets to shake hands with one of our opponents ! OTHER RESULTS. The reserves drew their DSR league game at Saint-Denis 1-1. Red Stars' under 16S beat Torcy 3-0, the first win since September. Next match a tricky trip to leaders Metz. Meanwhile the Under 18s won their Coupe de Paris match, beating Fontainebleau 4-0.
