Balotelli (continued - bust up with Mancini pg 18)

[Ray78]

What's the odds on a Mario start on Saturday?

Zero.

Football players have the same employment rights.

Wrong

Like it or not Roberto Mancini attacking Mario Balotelli today is a serious offense.The minute he put a hand on him he has basically assaulted him in the work place.

Wrong

Roberto could be instantly dismissed for gross misconduct and would not have to be compensated either.

Wrong

Roberto has left himself wide open to all courses of action from his employer and Gordon Taylor from the PFU.

Probably wrong

from what I see, it just looks like Roberto was trying to help him put his training bib on!

A big swinging dick in the jungle?

Wish I hadn't ignored all that penis enlargement spam now. :(

PM, mate.

Because the defendant chose not to press charges.

Ok so why wasn't he sacked by his employer? If I walked into work tomorrow and headbutted someone I would be sacked.

Because it mustn't be company policy.

For any more details, contact Everton FC, they'll be able to help you out.

Company policy? Really? Obviously the actual answer to this is that football is different from other "normal"workplaces

I actually don't think it's possible for Mario to piss certain people off.

I rekon he could stroll into certain posters houses, shit on their most prized possessions, and they'd just stand there grinning "Ha! Publicity!"

This x1000. I swear he could be in bed with someone's Mrs and they'd tuck him in.

Or it could be that a bit of handbags between a couple of people on a training pitch isn't enough to get some apoplectic with rage.

So odds on then shame was going to have a crack on it

For the same reason that a coal mine has a different COC than set out in an office.

I can't believe anybody even asked that.

So in what employment is it OK for a manager to man handle an employee in a disagreement and get away with it?

In what other employment would you not be sacked if you headbutted someone from a rival company in front of 20,000 people? (fellaini).
Whether it's right or wrong football is different. Could argue the toss but simple fact of the matter is it just is different.

I think some people are missing my point, the Fellaini incident is a good example but it was still dealt with by the powers that be (the FA) who issued the ban.

I'm not saying the incident today is a sackable offence for either party but if people think there going to go unpunished then they're very naive.

Whilst at the training ground or any other part of the club this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated like any other place of work.

Apologies if already mentioned but who the hell is Alan Curbishley to say on BBC sport website that these incidents only happen at City and not at Yoonited, Arsenal or Chelsea. Remember Ashley Cole playing with an air rifle at training as one example Curbishley you nob jockey
