Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

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.

Are you a fucking rag or what? There is no fucking intent, how I could explain that to some rags today to the point they were nodding their heads yet you just don't seem to get it is ridiculous.

He also didn't spin 360, you're right, he span 720. He shot, went a full 360, colldided with parker, carried on spinning out of control and then fell over in afull 720 degree motion.

His foot was put out to stabilise himself as he was disorientated and he was trying to stop himself falling. Take the same action he does and instead of putting your foot behind you put it ahead, I guarentee the fall will be alot worse. The fact is he did just perform a natural action and I highly doubt the FA will get this to stick when we appeal.

Oh here it comes "your a rag blah blah".

720 ? what is he a ballerina now. He came around once not twice and then it was stretched over a few yards.

Well he shot and came around, here his calf strikes parker. His momentum dictates (laws of motion) his right foot should swing round after.

If he feels he is falling back then yes you put your foot behind you, even then you don't use the force he did.
He was not going back though, he was going in the exact opposite direction.

Your opinion on the issue seems less than objective at best.

He stamped back and you talking rubbish is not going to change the fact he made a nasty rash action.

I suggest your explanation is ridiculous tbh. One 360 spin does not disorientate a person to make the action he did, which is the essence of your arguement.

Nobody puts their foot down with such force in the opposite direction of movement instictively to right themselves. If you fall you don't put your hands in your pockets do you ?.

@ban-mcfc Thats fine we can agree to disagree on certain things. Nothing wrong with that :)

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

Dzeko is a top quality striker who scored against wigan and had a bad game on sunday. How many teams in the premiership would turn down a front 2 of Dzeko and Aguero?

He set up Lescott's goal with the flick on from the corner

Balo was complete shite until he put the pen away. Seems everyone has forgotten that.

Bullshit. I've watched the match over. Almost everything Balo tried, worked.

He didn't have much influence, but that's because he didn't get much service.

He should have looked for the ball more, though imo.

BUT, when he did get the ball, he looked good.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

i see you are still being a dumb ass, i was talking about the fans reaction not the offence, i repeat the fans reaction do you get it now or do i have to repeat again for you, i also said you shouldnt listen to city fans views as they are biased and guess what lee dixon is a city fan so well done you

i havent listened to dermot gallagher but he is somewhat in the minority

Lee Dixon does not always stick up for City, you know. He has criticised Balotelli previously as well. He also comes across more as an Arsenal fan, having played for them for so long. It's similar to people saying that Micah also supports Arsenal - wrong. Micah USED to support them but his heart is now at City. Anyway, I digress. Lee Dixon is an ex professional footballer (and he was a damn good one at that) and gave a good explanation as to why it could not be construed as a definite 'stamp'.

Dermot Gallagher is an ex referee (in case you missed it the first time) and is suitably qualified to comment IMO.

Your weak argument about listening to City fans is clearly not valid, as the hundreds of posts on threads about the incident display. SEVERAL City fans are NOT supporting Balotelli and some say the case is unclear, as we are not mind readers. (I'm in the second camp). Whereas the OVERWHELMING majority of Liverpool fans came out in support of Suarez, as did his Club and Manager. Now THAT'S blind loyalty for you. You simply cannot compare the two.

Yet you did.

And I'm the dumb ass?

Yeah, ok.

lee dixon is a city fan and also an arsenal fan after playing for them, my point was that most city fans will be naturally biased its natural and then you quoted dixon which was strange as he supports city, your right gallagher is entitled to his opnion as an ex ref, but its a stretch to suggest refs are always correct, if that was the case we wouldnt argue about their decisions every week.

also many ex footballers have stated they are convinced it was a red so why city supporting dixon gets your nod of approval over all the other ones is beyond me

nearly all liverpool fans supported suarez and it is similar in this case with city fans

nice try though

Correct that it's a stretch to suggest refs are always correct, just like the claim by Webb that he didn't see the incident! ;-)

The difference here of course is that Gallagher has had the opportunity to see it full speed and at all the angles afforded by the cameras in super-slow-mo-hurricane-cam and is still of the opinion it was not intentional and not a red.

Re: SSN Right Now - Balo Charged By FA

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

Yes?

PMSL.

Okay, I won't 'try' any more. As you are clearly having 'difficulties' with basic comprehension of my posts.

Sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees.

It's ok.

I understand.

Just to be slightly pedantic, Gallagher said there was no way to know if it was intentional or not, and that's right, only Mario knows that, and if it was, he's more skilfull than I thought he was. It would be nice to hear his version of events, but I expect that will be very carefully managed by the club.

I thought I'd heard it before.

I think it was the Newcastle game.

Just after the magic 'headed' own goal from Jones. ;o)

I'm asking you to explain what your comment meant. Are you insinuating that my comment was invalid in someway?
