Mario Balotelli [On the Road to Ballon d'or)

Was it though ?

[Norbs]

So says the daily mail.

According to the article it's taken from.

How dare he be to sick for a 90 min game of football in the Premier League, and yet the day after be able to eat food

[Norbs]

Oh come on. There's 'eating food' and there's being right for a night out. By the same argument, footballers often dose up to play through illness unless they're on death's door.

Can't have it both ways

Haha, exactly. People DO actually recover from minor illnesses within 24 hours. Yes he is a prick, but we always knew that. This is a nothing story, move on.

[Norbs]

He wasn't really sick though was he

Probably had a sniffle and Brendan thought it was enough of an excuse to leave him out.

[Norbs]

It's not like Brendan needs much of an excuse tbf. He could've complained abut having an itchy arse and that would've swung it

I know conspiracy theories rule, but there's a difference between playing football and going out for dinner.

I guess a more intelligent person would have stayed in to avoid controversy. But this is Mario.

[Darkon]

It's a gutter-press story that's really achieving nothing because it's exactly that. I'm sure the club is well on top of it if it was anything.

He felt a bit ill and it was decided by the manager and him it was best to be rested, and he felt fine the day after and went out for food - so what? I've been ill plenty of times yet been able to go out for a few hours the day after...

[Pablo]

I don't really care either way. Mostly I was just happy not to see his name in the matchday squad. If it was up to me I'd let him eat at San Carlo every matchday.

[dww]

Looks like he's goading the club if that pictures on the night he missed a game through illness.

Seriously?

It's a picture of a man smiling whilst wearing clothes and carrying a phone. Apparently outside a restaurant.

If this is in someway unacceptable behaviour for an athlete then I have a suspicion that many more ought to be bought to justice for their crimes.

Anyone would think this man is capable of doing his own cooking.
