Balotelli alleged "stamp" V Spurs

[bluelol]

It has been said Webb was looking at the ball, which is out of the picture to the right, in the gifs and images posted on here.

I agree but let's buy someone so we don't have to rely on Dzeko though.

lol. oh shit, here we go,

Harry Redknapp – football’s biggest hypocrite?
by PAUL CONNOLLY
Monday, January 23rd, 2012


Harry Redknapp, who spent most of last week aiming poisonous verbal darts in the direction of Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, last night went on live television to try to get the FA to take retrospective action against Mario Balotelli for an alleged stamp on Scott Parker during City’s dramatic win against Spurs.

Funny, I thought Harry was against managers trying to get players sent off, even retrospectively. After all, didn’t he criticise Mancini for waving imaginary cards from the touchline? But somehow it’s OK to try to get players sent off if you’re Harry Redknapp. What nauseating hypocrisy.

It wouldn’t be so bad if the alleged target of Balotelli’s heel hadn’t been the thuggish Parker, who spent most of the game chasing David Silva around, kicking lumps out of him. What about Parker, Harry? Should retrospective action be taken against him?

Of course not. Redknapp is national disgrace. Let’s hope the FA never see fit to appoint him as England manager.

Wheres this, not in the national press i presume.

What is Webb looking at then if he didn't see the incident, because skysports clearly just shown him looking straight at the incident!

Its a disgrace but we carry on, need to just say nothing and just keep working to bring that fucking league trophy to City!

It has been said Webb was looking at the ball, which is out of the picture to the right, in the gifs and images posted on here.

Did he not give a foul? If so he saw it!

That seems like a reasonable assumption, but looking at the image sequence previously posted, it appears he is no longer looking at Mario, at that specific time. He might possibly be looking at his linesman to confirm his decision?

 

[clarion]

he is good but how long will we tolerate this?

It could be argued Mario was well aware he was risking a red card,

The ref wasn't going to show red after the fact.

You mean the 2 seconds that passed after Mario bundled over like a sack of shite to him showing "genuine concern?"

 

[blink922]

Everyone can agree that Balo is crazy. If Balo wanted to stomp on him, a.) let's be real, the stomp would have been worse and he would have made contact. There's absolutely no way to prove that there was malice in the foot coming down, especially when he was already off balance and then pushed by Modric. Slowed down and viewed from multiple angles (except the one that shows he didn't make any contact), it's made to look way worse than it actually is. Then Balo shows some b.) genuine concern for Parker: when has he ever done this before for ANY player? c.) If he meant to stomp him he wouldn't have given a shit, probably would have laughed and walked away. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if this was someone like Milner we wouldn't even be discussing it. d.) Once again, Balo's reputation gets in the way of the evidence.

Far too inconclusive for my liking. Maybe if the FA was more consistent I wouldn't have as big of a problem as I do with this decision, but as it stands, the charge is complete BS.

A. A bit like saying Muhammad Ali never missed a punch.

B. It could be argued Mario was well aware he was risking a red card, and showed "genuine concern" to get away with what he had done. His falling over like a sack of potatoes - acted out like a shite porn actor didn't really help him.

C. Is this to say that Mario is a bit bonkers? You make a solid case.

D. Perhaps it's time for Mario to stop being quite the anarchist?

Mario is like the boy who cried wolf. He has his own immaturity to thank for all this controversy. As stated in the FA ignored Lescott's elbow, which many thought was far worse than Mario's alleged stomp.

If Mario wants to be the anarchist kid with the WHY ALWAYS ME shirt, then by all means be anarchist and have people chuckle at his circus acts. But expect consequences.

You want to be the center of attention, expect center of attention scrutiny.

A. Not even remotely related

B. He's committed stupid red card worthy fouls before and never cared about the consequences, and cares so little about other players that he doesn't even know some of their names (Wilshere) yet all of a sudden he shows concern just to avoid getting sent off. Sure.

C. Even the biggest Balo lovers would admit he's pretty crazy. Malicious and evil as the media try to make him out to be? Not even close.

D. When was the last time he did something overtly malicious to deserve the treatment he gets? The darts thing? Come on.

yet surprise surprise nobody remembers this UNPUNISHED stamp from ROONEY who is far more malevolent in his stamp at 0.16 here than Balotelli is.

Perhaps now that Mario Balotelli has been found guilty by the Football Association of violent conduct, the "alleged" should be taken out of the thread title?

Thanks for the 6 points. See you next season.
