So alleged verbal abuse gets 8 games out but thrusting your studs into someone gets 4..?

[Nicey]

It was. I didn't see anything when they were replaying this over and over again yesterday. It's not conclusive.

Pass the crack pipe when yor done thanks

Balotelli could have blinded Scott Parker. I like to see full blooded challenges, but the stamp was disgraceful. It was just so unnecessary, Balotelli is ****ing mental.

I still like him

[TheElephantMan]

There really was no need for him to stamp on Scott Parker's face. I enjoy the physical aspects of the game, but it was totally unacceptable to do what he did.

[little dave hedgehog]

you ignore the comedic value.

[TheElephantMan]

Not deliberately. I find him entertaining, but he was a cunt for stamping on Parker.

This is the same organization which petitioned for reduction of punishment when Rooney tried to kick an opponent

Mario Balotelli in Trafford Centre hoodie dispute

Manchester City's Italian striker was approached by security staff on Monday and told he would be ejected if he did not remove his hood. Balotelli, 21, who was out shopping with a friend, decided he would prefer to leave rather than remove it. The shopping centre said it asked all customers to remove hoods.

A Trafford Centre spokesperson said: "At 21:02 GMT a customer was approached by security staff and advised that wearing a hooded top covering the head is against centre policy. "The customer was Italian and native Italian-speaking staff were dispatched to converse with the customer."

It is understood the striker is a regular visitor to the shopping centre and wanted to keep his hood up to avoid drawing attention from supporters. Balotelli was said to have been polite and friendly throughout the encounter and shook hands with staff before leaving. The Trafford Centre said its policy of asking customers to remove hoods enabled security staff to recognise known criminals and track their movements on CCTV. In October last year firefighters were called to Balotelli's Cheshire home after an explosive set alight his bathroom.

That month Balotelli made reference to various controversial incidents he has been involved in since joining City in August 2010 when he scored the opening goal during a Manchester derby game at Old Trafford. The striker, who was signed in a reported £24m deal from Inter Milan, lifted his shirt to reveal a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Why always me?".

Barely worth posting

Does everyone know he was out in Liverpool wandering the back streets at the weekend?

Popping into random bars for an OJ, then just wandering around by himself outside.

Lad in work got sent a picture of his mate with Balotelli fairly late.
