Sebastian Giovinco (57 Viewers)

"He's not that sort of player"

I love that line.

It's not one I'm a fan of because people trot it out relentlessly - whether it's Del Piero or Ryan Shawcross who has put in the bad tackle.

However, you do get situations where a player's track record means he is worthy of the benefit of any doubt there may be.

I love Walter Samuel, for instance, but if he'd put in that challenge on Giovinco, I'd have assumed it was an absolutely intentional attempt to seriously injure him.

When you add in the reactions of Cambiasso, Conte and the Juve players, I'm inclined to believe most of them do not think Cambiasso was seeking to seriously injure Giovinco.

That's not to downplay how bad a tackle or it was or to suggest Cambiasso does deserve to be banned for a few games.

Cambiasso was frustrated and took it out on Giovinco with a tackle that could have ended his career. FULL STOP.

Seriously Red, you should know when to put your objectivity aside.

Don't see where objectivity comes into this.

Or are you saying that you wouldn't think it was a malicious tackle by Cambiasso if he'd done it to a Milan player rather than a Juve one?

I respectfully disagree.

Depends what is meant by intent. Cambiasso has a great record but no one is a saint, looked to me that he got frustrated and made a rash challenge. That shows intent in itself, so deserves criticism.

 

[Red]

Depends what is meant by intent.

Whether you think Cambiasso saw the opportunity to hurt a Juventus player or whether it was merely a clumsy/lazy sort of effort at a challenge that just happened have the potential to cause serious injury.

People do silly things when they get angry.

Ok

They do, and I'm certainly not going to say that it's anything like impossible Cambiasso intended to injure Giovinco.

I'm just willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

Cambiaso was angry and frustrated before he was subbed in, I saw him shouting at someone. So I don't justify his actions whether he has good record or not. He did that on purpose game was over, there was no chance of him getting the ball from giovinco and score from there.

 

[Suns]

Cambiasso was clearly pissed off the minute he was subbed in.

 

[Fake Melo]

Cambiasso lost his head, shit happens. Come on, just be grateful Giovinco wasn't seriously hurt.

Cambiasso will get what he deserves, which should be 3 match ban.

No.

This. Cant believe anyone who watch football can ever say 'the benefit of the doubt' thing about that clearly intentional foul.
And btw, hi John.

Fucking cambiasso is a failure he didn't even do his job

Just like hitler

 

[Hambon]

Fuck Cambiatch. That bald nard needs a minimum 10 game ban to show this shit isn't tolerated. Kuss umma Al zamil.. Damn I'm heated

 

[ZhiXin]

Good victory. I just wish for Giovinco a speedy recovery. That was a potentially career ending tackle by Cambiasso. Easily a 3-game ban.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

he may not be known as a dirty player like say materazzi, but there's no way that tackle was unintentional. he was clearly frustrated, lost his cool and took it out on giovinco. jesus it was already the last SECOND of the game there was no need to even make the tackle to begin with everyone watching that game knew the referee was going to blow the whistle (as a matter of fact he blew the whistle before giving the red)

speedy recovery giovinco. good record or not, that malicious tackle never should've happened.

 

[Hydde]

Anyone that says that because he has never received a red card before he is a good guy is delusional.

Like sally says... he did that tackle to vent all the frustration he had. Maybe after it he realized the stupidity of his action... but he definitely wanted to destroy giovinco in that very moment

Cambiasso will get what he deserves, which should be 3 match ban.

Imagine Chiellini had done it at the start of the season on Cavani or SES, do you think anyone would be asking for a 3 game ban? Imagine he'd have injured them for the rest of the season, do you think Mazzarri or Galliani would ask for 3 games?

Cambiasso tried to hurt a player and with a bit more luck would've put him on the sidelines for a good few months (or ended Seba's carreer if we want to be dramatic), that's way more serious than diving or racism or disrespectful behaviour. The season's about to end in 8 weeks, the bald cunt should wait for the next one.

Cambiasshole looked frustrated even BEFORE he came on. He was constantly bitching about something before he came on, and I think that frustration resulted in his harsh tackle. He needs to be banned for sure.
