What Giroud did was wrong but Onouha was blatantly pushing him from the back with malicious intent. He was somewhat hoping Giroud to crash and burn onto the onrushing Green and sustain serious injury.
Just because footballer makes more than you and me doesn't mean they aren't human; doesn't have any feelings. So Giroud reaction to me was understandable. If that was me I would've done worse to Onouha.
You guys sometime are unreasonable. Kept thinking as if football player is a programmed machine.
while I agree with you and also what the commentators said during the match about why Giroud what he did, because he just got back from a long term injury himself and for someone else to come do that to him, and because of that and the heat of the moment Giroud reacted that way..
BUT at the end of the day, they are called PROFESSIONAL footballers for a reason. So as much as I feel for Giroud, nobody and absolutely nobody can defend his act.
1)He puts his team in danger and undo all the hardwork done
2)He picks up a 3 match SUSPENSION (can go up to 5 if the FA decides to review it as violent conduct) < More so since he is on form and is so vital for Arsenal at the moment.
If we all are allowed to react however way we choose to, then any tom d*** and harry can go play football at the Emirates. and you said you would do worse? Well, that's probably why you are not playing football professionally.
What Giroud did was blatantly stupid. Period. Even he himself realised it as soon as the player went down and covered his face in shame after he 'cooled down' from the tackle and quickly ran for the tunnel.
