Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

I don't think there was contact but the intent is pretty clear tbh.
Again if that was done to our player we would want the fella who did it hung drawn and quartered.

Again I;ll post what I did earlier:

Place a football on the ground in space. now do a 360 spin, bang your leg into a piece of furniture, jump off the ground and get someone to push you in the back whilst still spinning another 360 degrees and try and bring your foot down on the ball with force. It is pretty much impossible to aim at something, let alone a moving head. Fucking hell I've seen some spurs fans come up with ridiculous arguments (Balo looked at the ref before deciding in mid air to lash out when he content the ref wasn't looking, all in the 0.1seconds this took place in) but I'd expect better from a blue.

Seriously have a try and then tell me how you could try and do it with intent aimed at somebodies head when you get nowhere near the football you are aiming for.

People shouldn't be comparing Suarez's incident to Balo's. They are on different levels. One is bigger than the game itself and the other is an incident within the sport no matter how bad it is.

for crying out loud

Are you an american?

not unless they moved gorton

And I can't ever be sure if there was intention (Mario is only one who knows it) but there was contact. Or you expect the head to stay on same place and Balotelli's leg to bounce from it ?

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

I know some have been derided on here for suggesting this, but the key to a successful appeal lies with the push by Modric.

Its timing is consistent with when Mario puts his right foot down and there is no real way of knowing with any meaningful accuracy how forceful it was or what impact that had on Mario's already disorientated frame of mind.

It's certainly worth a punt imo.

the FArce should have already taken this into accountant!

but yeah i agree with the majority of your post but i just think we will never win. so lets just get it over with.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

It was non-existant though and that's without bias. No contact was made as well an no attempt at contact which is why I expect the club to appeal this and get it overturned.

you may check your eyes mate, you're blind if you don't see contact here

There is contact from his original standing foot but not from the 'stamp'. That is a bad angle for it but if you look at the direction the stamp came down and what park of his head Parker is holding it is clearly not the 'stamp' which hurt. If Balotelli had caught him with his other foot there probably would've been blood and a huge reaction. You are utterly stupid if you think contact was actually made fom the 'stamping' leg.

Other footage suggests no contact from the "stamp". Need to view from other angles. That of course does not mean there was no intent, but as others have stated, mario would have to have very special reflexes and spatial awareness to deliberatelty stamp near his head whilst moving through the air in a spin. Both players were unlucky for different reasons

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

You may want to see it from another angle before condemning your own player you stupid ******* ****

I don't need different angle bigmouther, still have eyes and brain, unlike you :)

that's before his "stamp". his foot is twice the height of parkers head there.

try harder.

I won't. If all you've seen from this incident is not enough to see there was contact, I can't help there.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

its not a debatable challenge its a red card all day so is lescotts which we have gotten away with, in these circumstances dont listen to city fans or spurs fans but those without a vested interest, nearly everyone i have listened to agrees balotelli kicked out, if someone had done this to silva we would be going ape

its the same as suarez because pretty much everyone apart from liverpool fans thought he deserved to get a ban

if you are all going to stick your head in the sand then dont complain when other fans do it or managers for that sake

I'll post for you what I posted to somebody else:

Place a football on the ground in space. now do a 360 spin, bang your leg into a piece of furniture, jump off the ground and get someone to push you in the back whilst still spinning another 360 degrees and try and bring your foot down on the ball with force. It is pretty much impossible to aim at something, let alone a moving head. Fucking hell I've seen some spurs fans come up with ridiculous arguments (Balo looked at the ref before deciding in mid air to lash out when he content the ref wasn't looking, all in the 0.1seconds this took place in) but I'd expect better from a blue.

I've heard some good stories about Balotell iover the last year. By far the most prepostorous is that he brought his leg down with force aimed at parkers head amidst a 720 spin and a push in the back and then had the sense to fall over so the ref wouldn't notice anything. Maybe if this happened over a few seconds but think about how quick this all happened live and then seriously suggest to me that Balotelli intentionally brought his foot down.

This is not about what he has done but who he is. If Milner had done this there is not a cat in hells chance that he would be retrospectively punished. If Balotelli had floored Kaboul like Lescott did then he would've been banned. This is a witchhunt for Balotelli, nothing more and it's fucking disgraceful that some blues have been swept up in the media shitstorm that followed. So much for a fair trial when the jury has already made up its mind when they saw the name Balotelli.

This is bang on for me, if anyone particularly one of our english lads gazbaz, milner or lescott does this no one is arsed if the name balotelli is mentioned he is guilty before anyone knows what the charge is. I know he has made some mistakes, but this is not intentional in my book he would have to have the fastest brain in history to plan all that in real time. His crime really is to be black, foreign and a character, doesnt suit the anodyne cash cow of english premiership football. Fuck em forza city, forza mancini, forza balotelli.

There is a key pont here

Look at the way that Scholes' stamp on the Bolton lad was , just 'good old schlosey'

Balo has been targeted by refs nad the reasons are listed above ...

In this case (and v Kiev ) he was in the wrong IMHO .. but so many other times his bookings reflect more on the sheep mindset of refs than anything else

I doubt that that king of refs, Perluigi 'would have been so quick on Balo's (like any other footballer's) normal transgressions, but may well have red carded him for the Shitty Porker incident

If English refs had not been such primary school idiots over Balo decisions up until now I'd be happier for us to take the rap

Too late now to check You Tube, but there are other videos strongly suggesting no contact at all from the "stamp".
