Mario Balotelli [General]

[Alex]

He went in for a strong tackle and Mancini was annoyed. Think it all went from that.

Swing dancing at footy training...who would have thought...

I would sack the jumped up little prick on the spot. Hate him with a passion. All that ability, all that money. Still as dumb as ****.

[Kenneth]

What I am supposed to be seeing? Looks like a training session.

Just spoken to someone who witnessed the Balotelli/Mancini bust-up. Explosive stuff. Story shortly. #mcfc

[dww]

You do wonder how often things a bit like that happen in training generally though. Obviously Mario is more mental than most but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that similar confrontations happened in a lot of clubs over a season.

[Shaggy]

When is that supposed to be from?

This morning. Every scrap at their training ground gets caught on camera

[baitman]

i would love his camo bentley, but might struggle to get the fishing gear in it.

he is such a prick

Not with the Manager though?

Witness said tackle was on Sinclair, not Clichy. Mancini rollocked Balotelli who gesticulated as he walked off prompting tussle. #mcfc

Mike Keegan @mikekeeganmen

Balotelli then seen to speed off less than 10 minutes later in his camouflaged Bentley. #mcfc

Mike Keegan @mikekeeganmen

Witness: "Mancini looked like he tried to throw him on the floor but he couldn't get him down." Staggering stuff. #mcfc

Mike Keegan @mikekeeganmen

Witness: "The coaches ran in to separate them but Mancini was having none of it. & kept trying to break free & have a go at him again."#mcfc

Mike Keegan @mikekeeganmen

Witness added that Balotelli challenge did not look like a bad one. "It was wet & he went down but there didn't look like any malice." #mcfc

[Alex]

The Witness appears to be Ballotelli's agent then

[saj]

Sinclair probably dived even though it was training

[Tee]

Why/how do the photographers get into their training ground? Training ground bust ups happen all the time and I am shocked City let themselves get exposed like this time and time again.

Best training ground bust up ever was Hartson on Berkavic at WHU.

So to list of City bust-ups (Balotelli v Boateng, Balotelli v Y Toure, Balotelli v Richards), now add Mancini v Balotelli..theme developing?
