Re: Mario now getting a lot of stick from home fans.

Why should it be Marios turn?. Funnily no other players demanded to take the free kicks because that decision is decided by the manager and on the training ground.

Mario is not our free kick taker, Kolarov is when he is on the pitch. Mario did what he did best later with a great goal. Praise him for that because he deserves it, but the frre kick issue was solely his fault and reflected by the attitudes of the players

Yes and maybe Dzeko, De Jong, Johnson, Kompany, Pizarro, Tevez and others may have felt the same are they all entitiled to demand the free kick?
And a large scale argument to follow? The answer is no, hence the reason one free kick taker is designated by the manager as a response to the performances of the players on the training field.

If Kolarov was not to take it, then it should fall to Tevez because he has a proven track record in those situations.

Tevez has a track record all right. There was nothing wrong with Mario wanting to take the free kick on that side of the pitch. In fact IT MADE SENSE. Footballers are not and should not be, robots. They have to adapt to the game situation. K's free kicks hadn't worked so it was time for a change. Mario wanted to give it a go, Kolorov's actions were out of order - in my opinion of course

Well maybe after watching K's other attempts fail, Mario thought he could offer something different?

Re: Mario now getting a lot of stick from home fans.

Too bad the fucking moron is out suspended half the season then, huh?

GO and lets swap for danny welbeck then... just get hold of the facts mate rather than moaning... he has won a lot of points for us this season...
the problem with city fans is that they have never seen a potential world's best player grow up in front of them... people forget how the so called WORLD CLASS players were whem they were 21...

OK then; serious question. How long are we supposed to wait for Balotelli to mature? Six months? A year? 2? 3? There is no questioning (at least on my part) the lad's ability and potential. But there comes a time when he has to start delivering on that potential. And Comrade Buka had a point (although his fucking moron comment is certainly worthy of reporting to the mods) about Mario's disciplinary problems. Every time he plays, you can't help but wonder what's going to happen with him. Even Mancini (who seems to have a hard on for Mario) said that Mario can't be trusted.

bro.. he is an italian... if you are a serie a follower i hope you do remember italian talents like totti when they were young... they need time to develop... mario has grown up through a lot of problems and has really done well to reach where he is.. v all know he has a good heart.. his biggest problem is that he understands no one... thats not all down to him... its the way he was brought up... for me mario is worth the risk because he will surely win us more points than he may cost us... just give him till the euros is over.. i bet the euro experience with his national team will really improve him... he will learn to take more responsibilities with national team exploits... just give the lad some time...

Mancini has said in his comments post game that it is either Kolorov or Mario and they decide on the pitch.

Kolorov had at that point taken two free kicks as the 4th was after this incident and both had forced the keeper into saves. One was from a similar angle to the disputed free kick. When he took it he wasnt far away. I think that his first two gave him the right to take that free kick and Mario was therefore in the wrong.

Mancini clearly now has to guide them from the touchline in these situations because that was totally out of order today.

Re: Mario now getting a lot of stick from home fans.

Stop talking bollocks, potentially the worlds best player? Are Messi and Ronaldo retiring soon? He is fcking light years away from them. He isnt even the best forward at our club let alone the best player.

STATS at age 21 in epl...
Wayne rooney 35 games 14 goals
Cristiano ronaldo 37 games 16 goals
Mario Balotelli 21 games 13 goals..

again as i said,u havent seen a world class player grow up in your front...
mario needs 3 goals to equal ronaldo the great and look at the number of games if u arent blind......

He won't be World class. He's a good player with skills to develop into a great player but it seems his head won't allow it at the moment.

this is the same thing i have been saying.. you havent seen a potent world class player grow up in front of you.. i will suggest a medicine.. go and just watch rooney's performance in any match in 2006-2007 season... yo9u might understand what i am talking about...<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 01, 2012 3:04 am --<br /><br />Anyone who has watched mario take freekicks for internazionale and italy under 21s would never say that mario shouldnt have went over to take that freekick...
its a shame that such a good dead ball specialist hasnt scored in a single freekick for city...

The point was Kolarov had taken one earlier from that side and nearly scored, so he considered he deserved another one.

Your right players are not robots, but players cannot just demand to take free kicks are they would be rotated on a regular basis throughout the side. Please tell me what would have happened if all the other players had fancied it and reacted like Balo.

Anyway hopefully it is all forgotten, Balo gets the next one and proves why he should have taken it.

with a player, who single handedly himself could cost his own manager his job. Who's stuck with him throughout and put his neck on the line for him so many times, one too many times.

What will cost Mancini his job is that he 'trust' NDJ to do his job.
As some of us realize that NDJ is not up to PAR.
Review the awful stalemated matches or poor results under Hughes reign

If only NDJ can be of good service and provide great service to Mario, Mancini will have greater 'trust' (which as usual the media muppets misconstrue) that the enigmatic Mario will produce! Go figure!

Are you able to talk about a player without bringing your hatred towards NDJ into it.It appears not and if nothing else you are acting no better than an internet troll and wum and it is not only me on here who as noticed this and for sure the mods on here should warn you about your constant threads on the same slating of NDJ.
This is a thread about Mario not NDJ

Re: Mario now getting a lot of stick from home fans.

what about kompany's ban then??... he costed us the title then... vinnie is far more influential than mario...

'Cause & Effect' Syndrome of having a poor man central midfielder. Pray tell me why I said so?

i didnt understand you......

Remember the foolish diagonal pass made by NDJ that was intercepted.
As a result of that turnover & counterattack VK got red carded for the two legged tackle on Nani.

Thats the 'cause' of having a poor central midfielder. NDJ's sycophants will argue that its not his job to make long passes. Only short or sideway passes.

The 'effect' is history!


As usual NDJ's sycophants will cover for his shortcomings (not covering Rooney's header & Valencia volley).<br /><br />-- Sat Mar 31, 2012 10:39 pm --<br /><br />I don't HATE NDJ.

I hate losing or having poor results especially if its preventable or can be mitigated.


If some City player is a liability isn't it about time he is being benched?
