Un SMS Pour Domenech

Just got this in my email. Raymond Domenech critics, I think you will approve:

“The national coach, after the draw in Serbia did not speak about the game in his interview but he spoke about his life and said : “I just want to thank all the people who are supporting us. I Thank my wife too because life is hard. I got around 200 sms (text messages), so thanks to everybody”. It’s a habit for him not to speak about football. Remember the Euro 2008, after the game Italy-France (France lost 2-0) when he asked his wife to marry him.

So after the game, all the TV & radio shows, and all the websites have spoken about this statement and the 200 sms “scandal” because nobody loves Domenech.

48 hours later, i put online a website called “Un sms pour Domenech” which means “One text message for Domenech”. The website allows football fans to send a virtual sms to Raymond Domenech. After only 72 hours, 4000 sms were sent to the website, which welcomed 50.000 visits. This is the french buzz of the week (TV, radio, website relayed the website).

Bits and pieces from some of the more repeatable texts currently up:

• Mais RAYMOND dis moi pourquoi PIRES ET GUILY ne sont plus selectionné en EDF !j’ai demandé à ESTELLE et elle m’a souris … j’ai pas compris !! So Raymond, tell me why Pires and Giuly are no longer called up for the EdF. I asked Estelle and she just smiled at me. I don’t understand!
• [..] Tu aimes le golf et tu fais jouer l’équipe de France de foot de la même manière : score minimum!!!! You like golf and you have the French team play football in the same manner: score the minimum!!!!
• Raymond ta lu le livre le coaching pour les nuls ??? si non tu devrais Raymond, have you read the book “Coaching for Dummies”? If not, you should.
• Merci de nous faire rêver Raymond, tes choix sont très judicieux et tu aimes prendre des risques…continu sur ta lancée. Thank you for making us dream, Raymond. Your choices are very judicious and you like to take risks. Continue to forge ahead.
• Raymond personne ne t’aime ! Charlie.M Raymond, nobody likes you.
• Diaby ou Cheyrou plutôt que Toulalan, aux côtés de Lass, c’est mieux ! Change de lunettes ou fais-toi épiler les sourcils si tu vois pas bien… Diaby or Cheyrou over Toulalan, beside Lass, it’s better! Change your glasses or pluck your eyebrows if you’re not seeing well.
• Raymond is a king!!! Please stay. As an Arsenal fan I don’t want the FFF getting any ideas about Arsène Wenger!
