He didn't miss any games for totting up of cards?

He was being fined for missing 11 games through the Liverpool and Arsenal red cards and his stamp on Parker

He wasn't fined for missing games. There is no clause that allows a club to do that. He was find for conduct on the field. Dissent and recklessness I believe are the two areas the club can take action against.

You need to understand the situation better before commenting on it.

So a club can't take action against a player who is unavailable for almost a third of the season due to their own actions?

I think they can

The PFA think otherwise.

The PFA, which will be advising the 22-year-old and his representatives at the tribunal, claims City have breached established guidelines agreed by the union with the Football Association and the Premier League with the support of member clubs. The rules do not allow a club to fine a player for an accumulation of red and yellow cards, as has happened in Balotelli's case. Premier League guidelines only allow clubs to fine players for an accumulation of dissent and violent conduct charges and the PFA contests City's stance that Balotelli was in breach of contract last season.

I edited my last comment.

I know what you're saying (bar senial)he can and does frustrate. As I previously posted it's the right to appeal decisions I'm primarily defending as this seems to be what has lit the touch paper on him, and the thread is about the tribunal.

everyone has a right to appeal, even murderers and rapists......or are we saying balo is worse than that?

What??? I am defending it??? Him.

sorry mate....i meant to quote the mekons post

Two years with nothing to show for it, the novelty has worn off, its taken until the 11th hour to call the bluff on his and his legal team's 'willy waving'.

How many last chances, i'm not even sure the squad see him as an asset, more of a nuisance. The talent is there, the application isnt... he's wasting a squad space for someone who actually wants it.

Taking your own club to tribunal, when you're Mario Balotelli... it was never going to end well!

No, but although everyone has the right to appeal it doesn't mean that they have grounds to do so.

Mario is guilty of missing 11 games through his own stupid behaviour, something that wasn't influenced by anyone else. And that's what the club was fining him for.

i beg to differ....i would say that in some cases, the ref didnt ref the game, he reffed the players reputation

This almost everytime.

He deserved his red against Arsenal

He deserved his ban for the stamp

The Liverpool one is the only questionable one, and even if you take that out, he still missed 10 games due to his own actions.
