Balo's out for wednesday

He's 'accepted' the red as a second yellow, but is appealing the 3 match ban for a straight red.

Re: Ballotelli appeal?

he WILL miss the derby as he's accepting he should have been booked for it so receive a 2 yellow red card, so receive a 1 match ban, but he's appealing on the straight red which is 3 matches, so basically he's trying to get his 3 matches down to 1.

Fuck sake. Wanted him for the Derby.

Cannot see how he won't get banned for the whole 3 matches...because he's effectively admitting he was in the wrong, and so the FA can surely say, yes you were, to the extent that it was a red card?!

Re: Ballotelli appeal?

Strange appeal that, as he now completely reliant on the referee agreeing to change the reason for the red card/caution..... He was sent off for violent conduct (which can be anything from a punch to aiming a kick at an opponent)..... it carries a 3 match ban...

If he is appealing the 3 games, he is asking for the offence to be downgraded..... Will be interesting to see what happens.....

Oh and good luck on Wednesday with Chris Foy your ref.... we had him at Bolton and you can (it would appear) kick anyone and anywhere and not get cautioned for it.....

Bale got whacked twice in the opening 10 mins, by Steinssen (around the knees) and Davies (when the ball was gone he was that late) and neither got booked....BAE never got so much as a yellow for the penalty (when he was last man and it could have been a red) and THud got no punishment for his misdemeanour.... 4 incidents off the top of my head that went unpunished (by caution or more).....

If he is as lenient on Wednesday in the heat of the Derby, I wish you boys luck, you are going to need it......

Looks like he'll be out of the Derby as the rag board members on the committee will see to that!!

CTID!!

....and this will be increased to a 4 match ban for a frivolous appeal no doubt.

Re: Balo's out for wednesday

"Manchester City can confirm that we have today submitted an appeal following the dismissal of Mario Balotelli for violent conduct during Sunday's 2-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion.

The claim will be heard by an FA independent regulatory commission tomorrow, Tuesday November 9."

so he's available for Wednesday if successful
