He went for the ball I dont get how people can be so malicious to their own player.
Slow motion makes everything look worse.
Agree.
He's put his foot up to block the ball, missed it and carried through Song. The fact he was running towards Song meant he ended up going through him but he doesn't extend his leg in order to hurt Song, there's no additional forceful movement, it's just a clumsy miss-timed challenge which deserved a red.
This won't go down very well with the Balotelli which hunt that has developed over the last few weeks within our fan base but I couldn't care less to be honest. The guy's a fantastic footballer, the most talented player I've ever seen in person, he just needs to apply himself more. I firmly believe Mancini will be the one to do that and will happily quote this comment when Balotelli's pictured with his Premier League winners medal, be it next year or the year after.
