Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

more and more people on youtube are starting to think it was an accident. i've watched it over and over again and hand on heart i didn't think he meant it.

i've even convinced 2 rag mates of mine, who were convinced he'd done it on purpose before hand.

although i cannot think of an incident in this nature which has caused so much debate as to whether he meant it or not. the FArce cannot possibly make a verdict on it. whether you think he did mean it or not you can't honestly say it's straight forward, so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt in my book.

Also this. Managed to convince two who were utterly adament today that it wasn't done with intent. Showed them various stills as well as pointing out some key aspects in the video and showing it them in real time. I think if I can turn the head of the most deluded fans on the planets then City should be able to get this overturned.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

Appeal it and risk an extra game ban because we have a case. He can play against the Racists then and if he gets a 5-game ban, well it's: Everton, Fulham, Villa, Blackburn, Bolton. We have two strikers and even the inconsistent Dzeko can surely put some past those teams? The option of recalling a loanee or two out of the previously mentioned names (RSC, Guidetti, Nimely, Scapuzzi) would have to be investigated though as even if we play with one up top every game, just one injury/agenda-driven red card (do not rule out Dzeko being sent off for an innocent 50/50 jump for a header by these corrupt twats) away from problems.

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 :)

If you had a brain you'd realise what you've posted proves fuck all. You do need to see it from another angle if only to stop you being such a smug twat and slagging off fellow blues, if you are even a City supporter that is

Cut all this shit please.

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.

parkers holding his head from the original contact, you're being silly. parker's lucky he got his head out of the way in time but mario didn't mean 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.

Possibly getting into semantics, but look at this picture. Mario isn't looking at him (important unless he's got superhero vision and can pinpoint Parkers head without looking) and he's off balance, left foot not secured as he's falling to his left. When you're falling over to the side, the inclination is to steady yourself by planting the rear foot behind the lead, rather than taking the time to throw the hind leg over the front to gain balance. He does this exactly and almost catches Parker. Maybe it was intentional, but the more I analyze it, the less deliberate it becomes for me.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

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

certain players get reputations through there own actions, there have been plenty of times this season when balo could of got cards but didnt usually for his reactions to decisions against him, i think the guy is an icon but i have accepted that he will get loads of yellow and red cards, its his nature and he brings on himself. will he improve as he gets older? i hope so but it will always be there

he is what he is no point getting upset by it, lets face it every time he plays we are thinking that anything can and will usually happen, mancini has to decide if his postives will outweigh the negatives, i hope he is here for a long time but he will let us down a shed load of times

Except for maybe one time (Liverpool red card I think?), I can't remember any instance where he's strongly complained against a foul called against him. I've been watching for this specifically this season because I thought it's what would get him in trouble most often coming off the back of last season.

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.

"It is pretty much impossible to aim at something, let alone a moving head."

Yeah thats why he missed him.

If human instict took over he would be swinging his right leg around infront of him.
Yet he finds time to stop that reflex action and put his foot down with force far removed from that needed to stabilize yourself or indeed gain control of a ball.
He did that in totally the opposite direction of where he was going.

He did not spin 360 degrees so your likening it to what you say is invalid for a starters. Also i have the match in hd now playing and i can see Modric has no influence on Balo's movement or balance.
If anything he is pushing him away from Parker anyhow.

I refere you to the laws of physics and imparticularly motion.

I'm not a doom and gloom fan, nor will you find me having kneejerks here attacking our players.
I do however have values that are not for comprimise and silly violent actions that affect the club i support are one of them.

For me the lack of contact is irrelevent, it's the intent that annoys me. It is nasty and i don't want to see our players acting like shrek.
