He may be mad but he's one of us

[samharris]

We must remeber that Tevez is almost out the door so if we get shot of Balo then we have some serious decisions to make re new players..
Im in the give Balo another chance camp..

Marios foul whilst stupid and ultimately very costly can hardly
be compared to Cantonas kung fu kick which is what the article is suggesting.
I was livid on Thursday night with Mario but i've calmed down now and
am willing to forgive him.
I just hope he learns from the incident and realises his
full potential wearing the shirt of the club i love dearly.
To err is human, to forgive is divine.

All in the past - we now focus on the future
Despite the divine forgiveness how can we (and more importantly RM) ever trust him to start in a big game again? His time with us will be limited to last 10 minutes sub appearances when we have to go for it, then he will leave. Sad but there you go.
BARMPOT - Never a truer word written in the press.

i'm waiting for the next City player to be red carded

i'm waiting for to see him asked to apologise

i'm waiting for to see posters here call for his head


the day i'll see all this i'll be sure there are not some brainwashed guy posting here. i'll be sure to be red carded has never happened to a City player and never more a City player will be allowed to be red carded in a game.

Hello Mancio, amazed to hear you defending Balo :-). I take it you don't recognise Mario's behaviour as a problem, because Mancini certainly does. Great player, but he needs to sort his on field behaviour out imo, because talent isn't enough, you need to recognise that you have responsibilities to your manager, team mates and supporters imo.

Err! I dont think so.

Any proof. Not just Cantona, Balo any clown who does something stupid the press go to town an them, thus the importance of pro's to behave. Look at Beckham when he got sent of in the world cup, they were burning effigy's in the streets, lol. I must admit i burnt a sun pullout myself, followed the instruction to the letter.

I'm sick of this blaming balotelli for us being out if Europe. We must have some brilliant psychics if everyone knows we would have definitely scored another 2 goals with 11 on the pitch. We have played games recently with 11 men against opposition much morse than Kiev and struggled to score more than 1. Alright what he did the other night was stupid and he has admitted it and apologised, why can't we just accept that like we would with any other player?

I also don't remember him being in our defence when we let in 2 goals in the away leg.

The criticism of the lad on here and in the media is starting to get ridiculous. If Zab would have made that challenge everyone would be calling the Kiev player a diving bastard and saying Zab was unlucky.

YES!

at very last somebody has some sence!
we need to get behind him as much as we can!

for the bit in bold: tbh mate he has become the person everyone slags off if we play badly its marios fault ect: people dont like the way mario plays so they moan about him if he doesn't look like he's trying they moan its bloody stupid. look at tranny when he first came was pretty shite in his first season and everyone hated him and slaged him off apart from the scum look how he turned out. i am not comparing ronaldo to mario because ronaldo is the 2nd best player in the world but mario has the ability like tranny did if we give him love and support we will have a world beater on our hands!

Mancio, you completely fail to understand the reaction and context, AGAIN.

Balotelli is a cowardly player, who has a history of these types of petulant incidents. If another City player, were to get sent off, in the same way, in a big game, and let the team and supporters down, then there would be a reaction on here without a doubt. The reason it has accelerated in relation to Balotelli, is because it is generally in keeping with many fans reservations with him, his personality, and a genuine and fair concern that he is no where near justifying his potential. Many of us accept, not every player has the personality or work rate of Tevez, nor do we want an entire team of De Jongs, but Balotelli has never made it clear to fans, that (a) he really wants to settle here, (there have been far too many vague but unnecessary quotes in relation to Milan and Italy) (b) that he is happy and willing to be part of a team here and (c) that he is willing to grow up, and stop selfishly putting himself in cowardly situations, especially now he has created an identity which makes him a marked man.

You have supported City 2 minutes. Don't disrespect people on here, who have been following them all their life, who spend money to travel all over Europe, by suggesting that they wouldn't be critical of any player, who disrespects the club and team. Balotelli, has received fair criticism of late, because he has taken this to an extreme level
