Balotelli - What was he thinking?

[Shands]

Ooooooooh Balloteli,
He's a striker, He's good at darts.
An allergy to grass, yet when he plays he's fuckin class.
He drives around Moss Side with a wallet full of cash
Comes out of the casino and gives beggars out a stash
If you're the playground bully then he'll come and kick your ass
Drives a Lamborginhi round until he has a crash
Jumps in the Ferrari, counts the tickets on the dash
Bought a motorbike - banned, never took it for a thrash
Spends his days at Knowsley giving hugs to the giraffe's
Can't work out a bib but his hats the height of fash
No dogs at the the parade so skipped then end of season bash
Try’s back heels in a friendly and gets subbed for the panache
Winked at Ferdinand, or was it just a stray eyelash
Mancini gets frustrated and will give him a tounge lash
Sulks a bit, says sorry but then continues unabashed
All of the above are why we love or hate the lad
Ooooooh Ballotelli

yeah thats gonna be hard to remember after a few sherbets

That is a good point but come now let us not be rash
If you want to sing it then don't go out on the lash.

IMO should have just scored..... silly to do anything else really.......

The whistle is very loud and very audible on the OS video.
Don't remember it being so clear when I listened live.

Does the whistle make a difference to his actions.

If the whistle has gone play is no longer active so what he does is irrelevant...maybe.

Remember Van Persie getting sent of against Barca...he claimed a whistle had gone but the ref demmed his actions to be relevant and off he went.

Re: Mario Balotelli Backheel

It's a fucking friendly and it whats make Balotelli special. Not happy with Mancini for taking him off.

All i can say is its lucky we haven't 11 players that are so (special) or we would win fuck all.
And 47,000 like you the place would be a lunatic asylum.

Grow up the pair of you PLEASE

What you did there is hit the bottom line.

bullshit to "he heard a whistle", he should have scored and asked questions later, it's more natural to score than to piss arse about auditioning for Dancing on Ice and on top of that whichever way you look at it he kicked the ball away, so even if he was offside, added to the fact that the more natural follow through would have been to shoot, then he would have been in even more trouble for what he actually did.

There's no excuse for what he did, no justification for it.

Tbh i think he'll get a lot off stick for this in the press and on the training ground but im sure when he wakes up this morning he will be embarrassed by it.

Look you are entitled to your view but do you not think you going just a bit over the top. He didnt kick anyone in the face or shoot starving children in Africa he tried to back heel a ball, which as far as i am aware is a legal move in football. Wrong time and wrong plave to do it and he was dragged off and got the hump which im sure has been talked about since. It doesnt effect anyone nobody is dead. It was just a pre season friendly which we won, so the most important thing was fitness and the result!!

Very audible whistle on OS video and he reacts to it...really clear.
