the vchallenge on song wasnt good......but it wasnt deliberate....it was a badly mistimed tackle from a centre forward...again look a the difference in treatment he gets compared to scholes who has made a habit of doing it every game he has ever played for utd, he even did it yesterday and was only on the pitch 10 mins!!!!!......Stevie G (another media darling ) consistantly made tackles far worse than that one when he was younger........is that used against him by his own fans or by the pundits/media......
so how exactly is this equal treatment.....
Balo has done nothing out of the ordinary (for a pro footballer) that deserves all this negative press....he maybe more flamboyant on and off the pitch than most (crazy haristyles, car designs and clothes etc) but this is no reason to treat him the way he has been treated.
I saw a player in one of the games yesterday try to make a flick just lioke balo did int he derby and again it didnt come off...did he get the same reaction fromhis own fans/the press highlighting his managers reaction to it as they did with Balotelli....NO!!!!
The saddest thing about all of this is that it is all so predictable....a few days before his arrival at the club i predicted he would be public enemy number one with the press and they would hound him out and turn his own "fans" against him.......some people are so easily led. There have ben poor performances this season I fully agree ...BUT the whole team has been under par...numerous players not playing well YET he is the only one consistantly highlighted but the media.....agero off form, garica playing awful, yaya no where near his best, even kompnay making mistakes.
Leave the lad alone...he is 22 and has so much time to develop and we can afford himt hat time...we have 3 other quality strikers to move in and out of the team and give mario time to develop...it isnt a crucial position for us as we have so much quality in tat area already.
Just watch him with your own eyes when he next plays.....wathc his movement off the ball, watch his link up play and his one touch passing, watch his movement in the box....AND TURN OFF THE COMMENTARY!!!!! dopnt listen to any of the pre match/ half time/ full time "analysis" by the supposed experts (who arent experts at all...they are ex players BUT this does not make them experts by any means)..infact Ive never heard anyone of them in over 30 years of watching football tell me something that I havent already known from watching a game..but i do hear them come up with the same old cliches time and time again and the same old tired analysis again and again which is usually extremely basic and sometimes wrong.....
case in point.....one of the common phrases hansen uses..."he was entitled to go down...in other words what he is saying he is entitled to be cheating.....why is someone entitled to fall over if touched...you fall over IF you cannt keep your balance not because u feel someones arm/hand in your back and you decide to throw yourself to the ground....these idiots havent a clue about football tactics or hpow to analyse a game.....!!!!!!!

Yes it was<br /><br />-- Dec 24th, '12, 14:41 --<br /><br />simon23 said:nehe11 said:Well, Mario has created his own image just like Suarez. If Suarez gets fouled in the box then there´s a big chance he won´t get a penalty bc of all the dives he has commited Bale is another one, same goes with Mario with the headstamping, diving and numerous red cards he has recieved.Neville Kneville said:Because the ref missed it. They did him for the Parker incident afterwards.
Had that incident involved Balotelli, it would have been a free kick to Swansea & Balotelli would have been carded for kicking the Swansea player from behind then carded for his reaction & dismissed.
The media would be making a point of how ridiculous it is to make a big fuss about being hit by the ball.
So mario now deserves all the uinfair treatment that he gets from referees and from the press........is this what you are saying. I think we now need to redefine the term football fan...it seems now people are fans of only some players rather than the team.......and ive never heard been accused of diving either. Even the pundits dont say that ( or I havent heard them at least)
And the head stamp on (the media darling) parker wasnt deliberate but you obviously see it different...to me he was trying to regain his footing but slowed down it looks worse but in real time you can clearly see what is happening. Just like a couple of the sending offs the other day (cannt remember what game it was!)...completely undeserved and misinterprited by the ref

The ball was on the ground, Mario's studs were on Song's shin.

Right so the stomp on Parker wasnt deliberate, the awful tackle on Sangna which could have broke his leg was just mistimed what about thissimon23 said:the vchallenge on song wasnt good......but it wasnt deliberate....it was a badly mistimed tackle from a centre forward...again look a the difference in treatment he gets compared to scholes who has made a habit of doing it every game he has ever played for utd, he even did it yesterday and was only on the pitch 10 mins!!!!!......Stevie G (another media darling ) consistantly made tackles far worse than that one when he was younger........is that used against him by his own fans or by the pundits/media......

you can make all the excuses you want about him the fact is the majority of games hes played he has underperformed in thats why he gets criticised.

That was one awful tackle, in the range of NDJ's in WC final.

hence mistimed......if it had been deliberate he would have snapped his shin in half....it wasnt, it was mistimed thats all..im guesing you play football...if you go in on someone and do something deliberately you will do them permanent damage........mario didnt do it deliberatey...a badly mistimed tackle....look where marios eyes are.....on the ball..he as just late and missed

Was that Carlton Cole or Darren Gibson in that video? I haven't got my glasses on.

I can't believe someone would do that deliberately but he was nowhere near the ball with that tackle. If I remember good he got usual 3 games ban, I'd ban him much more for that.

Don't be soft. It was a bad challenge and he was punished accordingly. Ffs!
