Softfootball understands that Girona’s 1–1 draw with Getafe sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with fans venting frustration, offering tactical criticism, and even finding small positives after a scrappy contest.
The draw came shortly after Getafe’s 2–1 defeat to Real Sociedad, and following the final whistle, Girona shared the result on their official X account. The replies that followed painted a very raw picture of how supporters felt.
Reacting to what he felt was a dangerous late defensive mistake, Arthur Kovacic (@LorenzArthur) aimed his frustration at Girona’s back line and questioned the club’s need for reinforcements in defense ahead of next season.
He said:
We almost scored a goal in the last play because that idiot Frenchman stopped marking to try to draw a foul. It was going to be a Getafe goal because of that fool. Girona needs center-backs for next season.
Attention then turned to Girona’s attacking players. markitus (@markituss03) expressed disappointment with Viktor Tsygankov’s performance, suggesting a lack of urgency and sharpness in front of goal.
He added:
What’s up with Tsygankov? Have they told him that if he scores a goal he’s going to war? Wake up, I paid 11 for you.
Offering a more analytical perspective, TheBestFCB (@VBarca06) focused on Girona’s approach in the final third. While critical of the team’s tendency to recycle possession, he acknowledged the positives in pressing and ball recovery.
He said:
You guys need to be much more dangerous in the final 3rd of the field, simply back passing and not crossing or playing into the box will not help in future games. But the pressing and ball winning back was good.
Refereeing decisions also drew criticism. Adolf Valdes (@AdolfValdes), whose comment was translated from Catalan, criticised both Getafe’s style of play and the referee’s handling of stoppage time, arguing that it harmed the flow of the game.
He stated:
Getafe decides to play this way, what can we do, it’s their decision. But the one who has to ensure that the maximum possible is played is the referee, who has been lamentable. 4’ of added time is an insult to football…
Not all reactions were negative. AbiusoSessuale (@Raz_Gabrioglu) highlighted an improved mentality compared to last season, praising the team’s resilience and fighting spirit despite the draw.
He concluded:
This is finally a Team reaction, last year you would have even taken a 0-2, but here finally there’s spirit, there’s heart Not the best but not the worst, good like this unbeaten
Overall, the responses reflected a fanbase that remains demanding but engaged, with expectations high as Girona continues to push forward this season.
