Cagliari 2-0 Sampdoria

I didn’t get to see this game, so can’t offer anything much more than the highlights that were my Samp fix for the week.

Stankevicius’ sending-off seems more and more unjust with each viewing, especially since Jeda’s blatant dive was much more of a dive than Cassano’s, shall we say, loss of equilibrium due to the force exerted on him by a Cagliari defender in the penatly box earlier in the half. And surely he was far too far from goal for it to constitute a clear goalscoring opportunity? Yes, last man and all, but there certainly was a lot of work to do, especially with Castellazzi in the form he is currently in. The man in green (darn it, I want that jersey so much) has been in flying form of late, with his save from Chiellini’s header against Juventus a few weeks back among the best I’ve ever seen.

Del Neri has been quite upset about a variety of refereeing decisions in the last few games. Yes, we have seen three red cards in six away games this season (Tissone v Atalanta, Padalino v Lazio and Stankevicius v Cagliari), but in those six, there have also been two home players sent off, so let’s not start going all Mel Gisbon and Julia Roberts with our theories just yet.

So, let’s all have a relaxing international weekend by watching Ireland beat France before waking up just in time to watch France beat Ireland. A home game against Chievo sounds like a great opportunity to sort out a slump in form (let’s ignore the fact that their away form has been quite a bit better than ours this season, eh?)
