Parlez-Vous français?

With the prospect of a trip to Paris in December I think some of you lot need some French lessons before you go .
After all we don't want those French fans thinking we are ignorant.
First of all we need to understand the referee.
The following are all expressions you might hear from the ref in Paris :
|
Français |
English |
|
Pénalité contre Leicester |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
C'est un coup de poing |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
C'est inadmissible |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
Carte jaune pour Martin Johnson |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
Je l'ai vu |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
Je ne veux pas donner une pénalité pour Leicester mais l'arbitre de touche ne me laisse aucun choix. |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
|
Je veux qu'une équipe irelandaise gagne la coupe donc je fais mon mieux pour saboter ces deux équipes |
I am the referee and my name is David Mchugh |
Now the locals are not backwards at coming forwards.
They like to shout some advice and comments too. You might hear the following:
|

English |
|
L'arbitre est complement con |
The referee is David Mchugh/Leicester are winning |
|
Je ne comprends pas cette décision |
The referee is David Mchugh./Leicester are winning |
|
C'est un complot anglo-saxon |
The referee is David Mchugh./Leicester are winning |
|
L'arbitre a une geuele de Gauleiter |
The referee is David Mchugh./Leicester are winning |
|
Ils sont tous hors jeu et l'arbitre ne fait rien |
The referee is David Mchugh./Leicester are winning |
