Les Girondins’ Ligue 1 survival is now hanging by a thread and are as good as dead and buried with a game to go. The inferior goal difference that in reality they have no chance of surviving. And their exasperated fans told them exactly what they thought on Saturday night.As Bordeaux played out a scrappy goalless draw with Lorient, their supporters did precious little to actually support them. The most passionate fans unfurled a banner telling the players that they were the biggest disgrace in the club’s 140-year-long history.Les supporters Ultramarines jettent des centaines de rouleaux de papier toilette sur la pelouse du Matmut Atlantique.

It’s been six decades since the Girondins went down due to not being good enough on the pitch. But according to their fans, no other side from the club’s history comes near in terms of calamity. The Ultramarines, the club’s hard-core supporter group, put up a banner: “You are the shame of our 140 years of history”.That wasn’t enough, but they threw rolls of toilet paper on the pitch and shouted angrily that the players were “shit”.#girondins “vous êtes la honte de nos 140 ans d’histoire !”@SO_Bordeaux pic.twitter.com/v3rsCbhJjJ— Cottereau Fabien (@fabcot33) May 14, 2022 Bordeaux conceded a Ligue 1 high 89 goals heading into the weekend, 15 more than the next worse defence. The team’s minus-41 goal difference was also the worst in the league. The team’s only clean sheet in Ligue 1 play came in a 0-0 against Lille on April 2. This season, the team’s only other shutout was a 10-0 win over a team from the sixth tier in the Coupe de France.Surprisingly, Bordeaux’s defence held firm on Saturday as if to give an immediate response to the fans’ disgust. Despite a late red card to Gideon Mensah, Bordeaux earned a 0-0 draw, which in theory keeps the club’s hopes of survival alive. All they have to do is win by ten or eleven goals in the final game of the season. So, yes, they are going down.« Vous êtes la honte de nos 140 ans d’histoire ».
