EURO 2012: Day 3 Matchday thread

[Goater's Nipple]

Half time talk introduced by showing Mario punching the ground. Fuck off!

He should of just punched the air in frustration like Fabregas did. Nothing mentioned at all about that!

 

[Pigeonho]

Can we back our player please ?

Why? He has rock all to do with us right at this moment in time, he represents Italy and I would say that if Rooney was going round fouling people like that and having little tanrums, he wouldn't be getting backed by his countrymen. If Balotelli played for United you would be in the agreement that he's close to being sent off, i'm sure.
Take the goggles off.

he's hardly done anything wrong. a little spirited but nothing worthy of a lynching

It's not a lynching, it's people acknowledging he's doing a few stupid things, which he is. I'm surprised he didn't get booked for the challenge on Casillas to be honest. I think he would have done in the PL. He just needs to take it down a notch and realise that none of the other 21 players on the pitch have punched the pitch or have made 2-3 nonsense challenges.
Hopefully he will have been given the 3rd degree in the break and will come out and score.

balotelli acting like a kid again when things don't go his way

i can't slate him too much though as i'll always praise him for that assist to aguero

 

[Blue Haze]

Leave Balo in. If he fouls again or does the dissent thing, then take him off for Di Natale.

 

[lancs blue]

yes, sure.. whole world is against him..

No, he's just being punished by reputation too much, any 50/50 challenge suddenly becomes 90/10 for the opposition, we saw it a hundred times for City. Balotelli went crazy because he was not only denied a good penalty shout but adjudged to have fouled Pique despite being in front of him.

Sorry but his previous actions lead to the so called "reputation". Not only a marked man for City but it looks like Internationally.

Damaged goods!

You don't like him, we've got the message x 1,000.

One fucking foal and being fouled for a defo pen and he gets a yellow what a fat **** that ref is
Oh and also a shit ****

Ok a foal and a fowl.

He frustrates the hell out of me too, i don't think he can be different though.

Balotelli just pulls off the most entertaining thing of the half and it's not even mentioned. He's been pretty naff other than that, though I'm sure this ref is Spanish. Pique kicks Mario's foot, brings him down, and the ref is perplexed why he gives a foul against him? Still needs to use his strength more. He's got enough in him to bully Pique like he does Rio but he's letting him piss him off, and now he's on a yellow he's lost the edge to really get the boot in.

Silva is just like every other Spanish forward, passing for the sake of it. Chielinni and De Rossi have been fucking superb at the back though, bossing everything.

Yep - those 2 at City and we would be pretty much unstoppable in the PL

Was still really really hoping we were going back in for De Rossi as his new buyout clause and not CL football mean other than his wages he wouldn't really cost that much. Almost certainly cheaper than his ability at least.

 

[LoveCity]

This twat of a referee denied us two legit penalty shouts in Munich and has denied Mario one today, watch the replay closely, Balotelli gets there first in front of Pique and Pique kicks his leg bringing him down. Mario penalized for it then punches the ground in frustration -> "Mario is a liability" comments when he should have a penalty.
