Mario Balotelli [General]

[Baracus]

It was Italian Ballet from Balotelli. Free Balotelli

Another disgraceful decision by the FA. Pro fergie- and they have the ****ing audacity to send a delegation to reduce shreks ban for assault.

The more I see it at normal speed the more difficult it is to tell if he meant it or not.

I cant see how on earth he can be found guilty unless he admits to it.

There's a strong case for giving him the benefit of the doubt at least. He was facing the other way and he was clearly trying to regain his balance.

The FA appeals for a reduction of Rooney ban for kicking out at an opponent. The same FA that wants to ban Balotelli 4 games for kicking out at opponent.
Brian Durandt called it correctly.

Both a pair of cheating cunts and deserve bans.

Likewise, Suarez calls someone names on the football equivalent of the school playground and gets 8 games, Balotelli or any other similar challenge gets 3 matches for what would result in a court appearance and a criminal record in the real world.

Crazy.

Balotelli stepped on Scott Parker's head - YouTube

That's accidental. I don't know how the FA arrived at the conclusion that he 'stamped' on Parker. They're becoming a bunch of trigger happy cunts.

Are you mad? How on earth is that accidental?

[Chrono]

WTF is going on in this thread? How can anyone say that wasn't a stamp? It's not even debatable in the slightest, it's crystal clear!

Who regains their balance by stamping backwards?

Who regains their balance by stamping backwards?

Do you know what? I was so focused on the landing on the hand that I didn't even notice the back heel to the head.

So that's another player out against us?

[Fredo]

I don't know, maybe he stamped at the end of the day but there's an IF and the FA think they know it all. If he's out against us, well that's OK then.

Slow motion, I thought maybe that wasn't a stamp, but in real time I believe that's a stamp. Clearly.

Exactly this
