Pigeonho said:The coverage on SSN is mostly about the clash with Mancini more than the actual 'miss'. This is what I meant above though by Balotelli's past silliness. He has done enough daft things in the past, both with Inter and us, for even the most remote thing to make the press. Surely you can't be surprised this is what the media outlets are talking about this morning? I haven't seen any papers yet, but i'd hedge my bets it has nothing more than a small article in each of them? The live media outlets have to have something to talk about and invite debate, and what could be better than 'the gift that keeps on giving' having a touch line spat with his manager after fluffing a chance by show boating? (regardless whether it was offside). You are right about the Rooney thing though, however perhaps Fergie wouldn't have been silly enough to over react and sub him instantly, prompting the reaction Balotelli gave which is now news?samharris said:Pigeonho said:For once about the media/United thing, I agree!
BUT, alot of it is because of Mario's past silliness. I'm not Mario's biggest fan as yet, but he did believe he was offside I think, but alot has been made of a relative nothing incident really.
What he did was too nonchalont to be classed as an attempt on goal, when Micah heard the whistle he then fired a missile that hit the galaxy keeper full on... where is the micah press witch hunt. ??
They do, and I can more or less guarantee there will be more incidents to come this coming season! If he makes the papers for scoring 20 and makes them for being Balo, you can't ask for more than that. I'd rather him make the papers purely for his ability though to be honest, however having said that at least he isn't make the news for shagging relatives wives.samharris said:Pigeonho said:The coverage on SSN is mostly about the clash with Mancini more than the actual 'miss'.

Un-fucking-believable!
The reaction from those soft arse yank commentators and "Soccer Fans" was a joke. They only reacted like it because of who the player was. Do you negative City supporting fans really think the commentators would have been as harsh if it was say, Messi, Rooney or Ronaldo? Would it fuck.
Where were you cunts when he disrespected Rio? Were you slagging him off then or did you think what he did was top drawer? You cant praise the kid one minute for showing disrespect to someone and then slag him off the next cos he has done the same thing.
For those City fans that are failing to understand one word here is that word and defenition.
