Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

stupid at best, as he is too often, can't be arsed with the the baggage and media shite he courts, out of the door unless he grows up..... never going to happen (sadly)

Ridiculous post.

Agreed, ridiculous is being polite though......

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

Finally seen it again, never a red in a million years, if anything it looks to me like Mario just gets cramp at the wrong time and extends his leg as quick as he can, not his fault Parker's head was near his foot.

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

I have watched this 20 times, and how?! HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW can anyone believe that there is enough video evidence of this to be damning towards Balo?! I don't see it. Whether it was intentional or not, there is absolutely no way a neutral bystander could make a decision on this unless they had the gift of mind-reading. No-one can do that. It is just a witch hunt, because controversy sells. Balo sells, speculation SELLS. This happens 2 times a game, every game, every week. But since it's Balotelli, the commentators spew crap out of their mouth to fill the next 35 seconds of broadcast, and thats all that is needed to start the rolling of the snowball that will eventually hurt the career of a 20 year old boy. Slandering him across the pages, blogs, and tweets of the internet for an extra buck. It makes me sick. Then the FA will feel they have to "do something". This process makes me literally sick to my stomach. Why can't there just be a game, and a winner, leave the agenda's out of it. I am not saying it is an agenda against us or Balotelli, just the need of content to fill shows and articles.

Your talking shit mate, I love Mario to bits but it was a red all day long, he's still young and I think he will gradually stop doing things like this but it will take time.

Bull**** I am the first person to call a spade a spade, but this is ridiculous, I stand so strongly and believe exactly what I just said. He is young, sure,; stupid, often, but to say in this instance that you can tell that this was intentional, is a farse.

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

Sorry guys straight RED for me all day long. What was he doing?
Said it before, i'll say it again the man is a liability we could due without at MCFC.

The guy has bundles of talent but seems to be self obsessed and want to tour around town and schools doing whatever and be remembered more for his off the pitch antics rather than on it.
When he gets on the pitch he's rolling around, being aggressive and behaving like a spoilt child.

He's still young, I still want to give him a chance but that self destruction button is constantly switched "on" and thats not good enough.

Be interested to see if Webb says he didn't see it....

Surely with this picture, the thread should end?

Webb seen it, he gave nothing. If arseholes at the f.a will back fuckface foy, when he is totally WRONG, surely they won't go against their no 1?

If Mario had feigned a cramp and called out the physio, he may have had plausible denial.

I remember when Mancini called him 'streetwise' when it comes to these things. Unfortunately not wise enough today unless Webb saves us by claiming he saw the incident.

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

Will say again, Webb saw it and explained it to the Spurs players who asked and not many even enquired.

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

I have not read all the thread but the ref has clearly seen the incident and not booked him. It all depends on his report. Granny shagger elbowed the lad at Wigan, the ref claimed that he saw it and deemed it not worthy of a red. This case is exactly the same.

This ^^^^^^^^

But we know from the Adebayor incident that refs change their minds and even their reports when told to.

Clattenburg stated in his report he didn't see the Van Persie stamp, that gave the FA the chance to punish him by video.

In Webbs report he'll be putting he's seen the incident and it wasn't worthy of a card leaving the FA no chance of punishment.
