WHERE ARE YOU!!!
LETS BE HAVING YOU!!!
(cant remember the rest)
But, Its time for everybody especially fans to open their eyes and see what is actually going on. Many fans in this forum as i have observed for the past year or so have given in to this widespread irrational and unfair hatred and intolerance directed towards balotelli.
The guy have a lot of flaws we all know that but please lets open our eyes. I will start with this current incident,
Balotelli mistimes a tackle- he is useless, lazy, destroying the team spirit, he has blown his lat chance etc.
I think its time for everybody to become honest. The guy is young, this animorsity towards him is just sad and unwarranted. The misunderstanding is even more tragedic.

Fellaini head butting some one is criminal law.
If Mario had gone to the odd lot today he could have tried to have Roberto done for common assault. like i said though there are employment laws that protect employees from bosses, managers man handling them in the work place.In my experience any employee proving they were assaulted by a supervisor,manager etc would result in instant dismissal for the perpetrator.no verbal or formal warning it is an instantly sackable offence.A big big no no laying your hands on anyone in the workplace.
Although it is over the top for this instance, you're 100% correct to the letter of the law and the evidence is there to prove it.
Come on mario get a hat trick on Saturday imwtBlueband Brother said:FANS FOR BALOTELLI!!!!

That's what I'm waiting for too. Lots of rhetoric and arguing around a point but no direct answer.
"I knocked out Sir Alex Ferguson"
Sir Alex Ferguson, famous for his "hairdryer" style of management, has apparently been on the receiving end before.
According to a new autobiography by Scotland scoring legend Frank McDougall, the Manchester United boss had been punched in a sensational dressing room bust-up when Ferguson was managing Aberdeen early in his career.
Ferguson had been upset at McDougall for declaring himself fit while still carring an injury, and substituted the player despite McDougall's protestations.
The next day after the match, both manager and player tangled physically- and Ferguson finished second-best.
McDougall recalled in his autobiography: "Within seconds, Fergie was right in my face.
"It wasn't possible to get any closer. I was for it.
"I had a lot of respect for Fergie but I had learned a long time ago that, in a situation like this, you lash out first and ask questions later.
"Only problem was, I wasn't on the mean streets of Glasgow where I came from. I was at my 'work' and it was the boss in my face. But he had completely lost the plot and I wasn't for waiting to see what he was about to do.
"I lashed out. It was far from a bout-winning punch - more a 'half-dig'. I caught him on the side of the face and he went down like a ton of bricks.
"Of all the stupid things I had done in my life, putting Fergie on his arse had just stormed straight into the charts at No 1.
"I gazed at my hand and then down at my boss. It was as though he'd fallen to the floor in slow motion. But he bounced straight back up as though on a trampoline and began screaming at the top of his voice.
"He was looking at one of our coaches, Teddy Scott, but shouting at me. 'F*** off McDougall, get to f*** back to Glasgow'. Then he told Teddy 'Get him out of here, he's f*****g finished'.
"I felt sick to the pit of my stomach. Beads of perspiration dripped from my brow and I was 100 per cent sure that I'd blown it."
Later on, both player and manager made up, and McDougall returned to Aberdeen's first team after he apologised to Ferguson.
