Mario Balotelli is probably the biggest troll in football..

[okgo]

I think he's an agressive prick who actually is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

No it isnt and sky cover every single prem game. Honestly you make this up as you go along

Agree, and hopefully the way he's going he'll miss more matches through bans than what he'll play.

Amazing that people HATED Ronaldo for being cocky and the way he was, Balotelli wishes he had 10% of the talent Ronaldo has.

Equally if you are going to use it how is it the Lescott managed to get away with a forearm smash?.

Agree about Lescott, that was deliberate for sure.

what the point of coming on here if you don't?So do the FA only apply rules to the prem....no they dont football exists outside the prem and the same rules are supposed to apply jeez.

[Digger]

With the advent of video evidence everyone is judged, including the officials these days, which is perhaps arguably why this decision was reached. Suggesting that Webb, whilst meaning it, also felt obliged to state in his full match report that on reviewing the incident, had he seen the 'stamp' he would have brandished a straight red.

How far do you take this though?

Ballotellis agent calls for Webb to be banned for life Think Fergie may have something to say about that.

A player or manager would be looking at a 'disrepute' type charge for that. I wonder if anything will happen...

[anniesdad]

"If I find that there is something strange against Balotelli, my duty is to protect and then take him away. In this case I would speak with City, I'd ask them Balotelli's price and would look for the best team for him, as there are only six or seven teams he can play for."

The crux....agent starts feeding bullst to Balotelli and gets him a move. :kerching:

City fans, enjoy Balotelli while it lasts. He'll be gone, along with all the other guns for hire soon. Shame...

[johny105]

that was assault surely? grabatelli seems to be a very gifted player but cant control the anger.

As for the ban he should appeal. And WHEN it gets knocked back just quote the FA's casebook for rooney's 3match ban which would of ruled him out of the euro's group stages.

Too much inconsistency in the FA

Rooneys case was uefa not the fa,and I wouldn't compare kicking out at someone's legs to trying to stamp on someone's head.but the fa are inconsistent no doubt.

I've only ever met 1 Scouse in the last 10 years. She was a right airhead. Big fake tits. Dyed Blonde hair. Loved a line.

Did my business, then let myself out Then checked my wallet.

[gmh23]

Balotelli is HILARIOUS.

boo hoo he's over-paid and under-talanted.

He's doing what any 21 year old with too much money would do, piss around

Exactly what he said. Games that have less coverage (Championship, rest of football league) are not subject to the same level of scrutiny and awful decisions are made on a weekly basis. However, the lack (or lower level) of coverage means there's less punishment.

FWIW the amount of slow motion action replays make things look a lot worse than they are.
I don't think Balotelli connected with Parker intentionally but only Balotelli, rather than SKY super slo-mo, can prove one way or the other in this instance.

i'm not at all interested in football really but heard some amusing stories about this guy so wondered into this thread.

i've now watched the video of the 'stamp'

the idea that someone who is stumbling/jogging backwards can accurately stamp on the face/head of somebody on the ground behind them, as they rotate through 180 degrees, is rather strange.

oi! jog on with your sensible comments. kick, yes. stamp, no. they are different actions and have different perceptions.

i also see poor 'scotty' has managed to have his severed head sewn back on.
