Yves Rémy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market14 Sep 2026

The Bourg-Peronnas deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Hervé Gautier reports back to Tours with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Sébastien Arnaud

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The afternoon belonged to Henri Laine

7.11, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Tours had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Yves Rémy is the weekend's best young player

At 20 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Raymond Renaud dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Gessime Yassine runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 44. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A debut Charles Leclercq will not forget — 7.64

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.64 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Match5 Sep 2026

Cruel end for Valenciennes as Tours pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Tours scored in the 95th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Yves Rémy, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.12

A mark of 8.12 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market7 Sep 2026

Hervé Gautier hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Tours can pretend not to have heard.

Market7 Sep 2026

Sébastien Arnaud wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Tours hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Match5 Sep 2026

Tours see off Valenciennes

Three points for Tours, 3‑2 the final word against Valenciennes in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Nhoa Sangui was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Marc Breton

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Nobody could get near Gessime Yassine

Successful dribbles: 54. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Émile Simon asks to leave Tours

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A move Aboubakar Diaby would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Aboubakar Diaby is living that version at Tours, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Bruno Guillaume in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tours this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Gabriel Dupuis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match29 Aug 2026

Tours come up short against Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
