Balotelli alleged "stamp" V Spurs

Re: Retrospective ban for Mario?

Unless its in the refs report feck all the fa can do

i think you'll find it's a case of 'when it suits' , and this IS City we're talking about ...

that Liverpool player could have been given a retrospective ban two weeks ago for that two footed challenge in the Etihad cup semi , but it 'blew over' because apparently it wasn't in the refs report ........

contrast that with the late Shaun Wright Phillips tackle at Stoke two or three years ago , which the ref didn't see , or include in his match report ...... unfortunately someone from the FA did later on though , and Shaun then found himself serving a retrospective ban .. two games i think!

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

i think it was intentional and I can"t support any player for doing that. How would you feel if Parker had done the same thing to Balo?
I like arrogant,funny,crazy Balo so as many people but to not want to like a dirty cheat Balo. And that was a dirty thing to do...

Nothing will happen.

They won't undermine Howard Webb...not a fucking chance.

He's their poster boy and if they start on him then the house of cards will collapse on the refs.

Why wasn't Ledley King sent off. Two footed, scissor tackle & a goal scoring opportunity. Not even a yellow card issued.

This is a very very good point.

Unless Howard Webb says he saw it and took the action he thought necessary at the time then Balotelli will be banned and that would be 4 games. Hopefully he can get the CC game as one if they do decide to ban him.

The paranoia is strong on here today... webb is the best ref and was right there..

No more to be done in my opinion..

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs

How can Mario be accused of 'deliberatly' stamping on someone , when he's facing the other way completely , clearly off balance , and obviously trying regain his footing to break his fall .... and he DID fall!

Parker didn't give the impression that he felt it was that deliberate , he didn't even appear to be that badly hurt ...... and did any other Spurs players protest even ?????
