‘I’m glad Giroud got a red card’
Out of all the fan reactions to Friday’s 2-1 victory over QPR, this one stood out the most.
It features a Gooner who claims to be happy with Olivier Giroud’s sending off. But take note of his reason for saying that and see if you agree.
It was unfortunate tha Geroud got the red cared however he felt bad but what would you do if someone tried to shove you with intent to hurt without any regard for the consequences? Anmyway what really cranked me up what why Ferdinand was allowed by the stupid ref to grab Geroud’s neck with his tongue anging out of his twisted face. What an ass hole that Ferdinand. Like he could really take Geroud on.
Giroud’s action orobably deserves a red. But Rio certainly deserves a yellow. The ref got it wrong here.
Giroud deserves to get red card but for what Ferdinand did is direct yellow for him
foreign players are just unfortunate in Britain! Rio would have been served a yellow card. Who is he any way to do such a thing to a fellow player?
am glad as well cos giroud use to complained. he should give podi chance tanks
It is stupid to be happy when your leading striker sees red and stands to miss the next three matches. Podolski is a good striker and I am sure if he does what the manager wants, he will play more regularly. Let Poldi give the manager what he wants and he will play more regularly, even star more often.
The ref plays an important part. I don’t trust these guys in black.You never know.
The FA shd monitor the performance of these guys ie why penalties were/were not given ,etc.
Some of them are not up to the mark.
Giroud deserved the rc. That shows the perpertrator are getting away. These guys are smart to provoke
and the player whos rises to the bait is stupid.
Do you remember that red card given to Gervinho a couple of seasons ago when we were playing against Newcastle? Remember the way Joey Burton grabbed him and the ref was ok. I say he deserved to be sent off too.
I’m not glad because i expect Arsenal can destroy QPR at least 3 goal at home. But He deserve for what he did, very unprofessional make the team in dangerous situation. Anyway, it shows Arsenal still need World Class Striker not Giroud or Poldi But Somebody else.. (Cavani or Benzema maybe..)
I have realised one thing, it’s like Arsenal are being given different rules when they are being officiated. That game agaist Liverpool, first tackle yellow card Gerrard and the rest tackle through out the game only to get one when the game is ending. I don’t believe the ref and lines many missed Fellaini being offside and shoving Gibbs in the back for ManU’s first goal. Against Stoke the way that ref dished out yello cards for Arsenal players when it was making a come back had intent and it resulted in a red card. Against Chelsea Oscar fouled the game through in the first half only to be give a yellow and the subed. This is too much look at that tackle on Wilshere.
Reblogged this on Arsenalwonder's Blog.
100% agree with Ezra it is as if the ref should be a 12ths player in arsenal games Sanchez almost had his head snapped by Adams and no card was issued
We all like to think our actions will be different if the tables were turned, but the truth should we take a moment for reflection – our past record paints an equally ugly n in some caaes several foolish episodes. Regretably it has happened n the team can possibly reap the effects of his folly. But then again, it may not. This gives further opportunity for others to raise their game. Another member of the team could be hero over the next three games.
Foolish, but not the end of the world. Time for every member of the team to start playing their “A” game and earn their corn.
Well podoski shd b gvn chnce buh is not Giroud dat shd b bench it rather be Welbeck cos he’s doing nothing for Arsenal
Podolski will not be given a run in the team now. Unfortunately he is likely to be moving on in the January transfer window and wenger will not risk a player he wants to sell getting injured resulting in the deal collapsing. If I know wenger, and I think I do because he is as predictable as night follows day don’t expect to see podolski playing anytime soon. Arsene wenger needs to go. The best football teams in the world don’t have long serving managers anymore. It’s all chop and change with managers. The change can bring a different style, different tactics, different players to a team. Arsenal have gone stale.. So very stale… ?
Am more than happy!….Giroud is no striker, probably for championship. Beat me why bench Poldiski and campell and play Giroud. Hope he get a 4 match ban, good riddance.
It will instil some sense of displine which is very important in football. Podi will get a good 90 minutes to underline his talk. Come on podii
Podolski would have got a couple yesterday for sure, but Welbecks workrate is TOP-CLASS. Poldi is a top bloke and great sub. He would have came on yesterday if it wasn’t for giroud getting sent off, and probably would have bagged a goal because QPR were awful.
Joel Campbell and Poldi out, Cavani in? COYG
Its a thing of surprise that most Arsenal followers haven’t realise the importance of Giroud in this Arsenal team. Yes! Podolski is good at striking the ball but to play in the EPL it requires a lot more than that. Podolski is a lot lazier than Giroud. Apart from scoring Giroud brings his defensive attributes into the Arsenal team especially when defending corner-kicks. Take it or leave it Giroud is our best option at the front. You just have to open your eyes to see his good qualities. we gonna miss him in our next three matches hopefully someone else will do a good job.
Thanks Ezra. You nailed it.
Refs perform tricks when referring arsenal games but the most irksome is to yellow card arsenal for any perceived fouls early in the game. that way, not only does he put brakes on them for fear of being red carded ,but it encourages the opposition who now know the ref is on their side and they make scathing tackles that largely go unpunished, or simply get lazy verbal warnings. towards the end of such games usually when the opponent has fully benefited, the ref then throws a few yellows on the offending players. that way not even the fa can agree the ref was biased. i noted last couple of seasons the likes of Tony Pulis and Fat Sam even boasting about having a better disciplinary record than arsenal (fewer yellow/red cards). – incredible, but true. coz the disciplinary record is cooked up in front of our very own eyes!
That guy is a tool pod plays on the left fod germany he is not a striker welbeck has scored goals as cf that is what he did and campbell isnt ready to start and giroud is our best striker btw 2-1 arsenal so go home
