Internazionale striker Mario Balotelli was praised for his calm reaction when Roma fans threw bananas at him in a bar.
The 18-year-old, who was in Rome ahead of joining the Italy U21 squad, was praised for his calmness by coach Pierluigi Casiraghi, having previously reacted angrily when confronted by Italy's football racism problem.
"The boy has behaved well both with the team and in the specific incident yesterday when he didn't respond to verbal provocation," Casiraghi said in a statement.
Italy-born Balotelli, who has Ghanaian roots, was racially abused by Juventus fans at a Serie A match in April and has been the victim of racist chanting and gestures from fans throughout the season.
Dunno if dey come to that conclusion based on the location of the incident..buh...it still sad (http://eurosport.yahoo.com/07062009/58/serie-roma-fans-throw-bananas-balotelli.html)QuoteInternazionale striker Mario Balotelli was praised for his calm reaction when Roma fans threw bananas at him in a bar.

I wonder wha he do disrespectful to deserve dis now? ::)
I personally hope this fella play for Ghana instead jeez Italy don't deserve no black player on their squad with that kinda behavior... I know not all Italians like this but on a whole that's some real ignorant ish... what a shame guy love Italy enough to choose them and they still want to do him like that steups...

Ghanain fans musse laugin at him all now because he choose Italy. Imagine if he had Trini heritage how he woulda get waste dong fuh chosin land of birth over land of heritage?
Zandolie is no big thing to call peeps "boy" in Europe. It does not have the same negative connotation as it does in America with their reference to slavery.

I for one hope the man represent Italy. If Balotelli pull a duck and run he will be an even bigger laughing stock to the racist element in his own country. It will empower them and let them feel that they could chase out people if they harass them enough. What about the black youths coming up in Italy..best believe they watching Balotelli. It eh fair, but some hadda face de burden worse than others. Besides, the youth is Italian. You cyah even make the argument that he raised by Ghanians in Italy..de man parents are Italian. Is connection to Ghana kinda thin....Watch all de black men representing France, Holland, England...it hadda start somewhere.
On another note..what the hell dem men doing with bananas at a bar. Dey see Balotelli, went and buy some bananas and den follow de man..or do some people just roll wit a stack a bananas wherever they go ???
Italy have some problems as they lack a playmaker. Right now Cassano is the best player for than position, but he and Lippi will never see eye to eye. Especially since Cassano hit Lippi son some hard cuff. Lippi already declared Cassano is out. Lippi may very well turn to the old master Totti. Anyone who watch Roma vs Sampdoria on Saturday would say, Wait! Totti is the ideal choice because he is in ripping form. Saturday was vintage Totti he was pulling the strings and turning on the style. But Totti is crystal and could break anytime. My choice would be Cassano, the WC stage deserves to see a player of his quality. But if he does not fit the team so be it. Imagine having the luxury of leaving out such quality.
Balotelli is the Ghanian born player right? How come Ghana eh cap him yet? Has he ever stated that he would prefer to play for Italy??

The problem is that Cassano is not really a playmaker, or a suitable alternative for Totti.. He is more of a creative withdrawn striker and I would consider him a direct replacement for Del Piero, not Totti. Imo, cassano is not the answer..
Totti is always an option, but then again.. Italy didnt win the world cup with a playmaker as Totti was injured for most of the tournament. They won it with Pirlo starting the play from the base of the midfield, not the tip..
I think the way italy plays, its more important to have a solid back four and two good solid strikers up top with a good understanding. I hope Balotelli gets the call up though.. Even if from the threat he poses on set pieces.
Balotelli is the Ghanian born player right? How come Ghana eh cap him yet? Has he ever stated that he would prefer to play for Italy??

Balotelli doesn't have the greatest relationship with his biological parents, either:

Balotelli is the Ghanian born player right?
No. He was born in Italy.
(CNN) -- Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli has stood by the remarks he made following Wednesday's 1-0 Serie A victory at Chievo.
The teenager scored the only goal for Jose Mourinho's champions, but reacted angrily to home fans who jeered him when he was substituted with two minutes of the match remaining.
In a post-match interview Balotelli said: "Every time I come to play in Verona, the city disgusts me even more," a remark which saw him fined $10,000 by the Italian league authorities.
However, on Thursday, Balotelli issued a statement on his official Web site, saying: "I will not apologize to those who insulted me.
"But I do apologize to those who were innocent and whom I offended through my expressions, which were conditioned by the boos I received during the game.
I am tired of always hearing racist chants when I'm on the pitch. It doesn't happen just at Verona.
--Mario Balotelli
"I should have made it clear that the fans in Verona and around Italy who boo me disgust me. Instead of enjoying a good sports game, they prefer to insult me.
"I am tired of always hearing racist chants when I'm on the pitch. It doesn't happen just at Verona. I was ashamed to hear my own Inter fans booing Chievo's Luciano. It's a disgrace which must end."
Balotelli added: "I am not angry with Verona. I like the city a lot, so much so that I went to see Juliet's house with a friend."
MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli was fined $10,000 Thursday by the Italian league for mocking fans after racial taunts.
Balotelli, the son of Ghanian immigrants, ironically applauded Chievo Verona supporters when he was substituted during Wednesday's game.
Balotelli scored the lone goal in Inter's 1-0 victory. In a post-match TV interview, Balotelli said every time he comes to Verona "the fans are more and more sickening."
Inter was fined $21,500 for its fans' racial abuse toward a Chievo player and exploding fireworks. Chievo was not fined.
On Thursday, Balotelli posted a statement on his Web site.
"I won't ask to be excused by those that insulted me, but only for the part of the public that didn't have anything to do with it and that I offended expressing myself poorly," Balotelli said, adding that he lost his calm because of the "boos."
"I'm tired of hearing slogans and racist boos even when I behave well on the field," Balotelli wrote. "And it doesn't happen only to me.
"In Verona I was also ashamed by my own fans when I heard them boo Chievo's Luciano," Balotelli added, referring to the Brazilian midfielder. "It really upset me. It's shameful and it must stop."

Who say Ghana?Who say City ?
i long to see the day when the player, followed by the whole team and coaching staff walk off the pitch in unity and forfeit a game to make a statement..
somebody hadda make a stand.
Who say Ghana?make him bring Adu too. off that US bench riding
Ah have a question.....Italy making any attempts to recruit this guy in their side for the WC? Ah mean for a fella who blanking Ghana nah, ah thinking is because he have things locked with Italy already?? Just wondering...... :-\ :-\
Ah have a question.....Italy making any attempts to recruit this guy in their side for the WC? Ah mean for a fella who blanking Ghana nah, ah thinking is because he have things locked with Italy already?? Just wondering...... :-\ :-\
he's still very young, even if he doesn't make the cut this time around he has the potential to be a force in the italian national team for many years to come.
Dem REALLY overdoing it. I dunno if any coach may be willing to take the chance on him..but.....i'd suggest if they hesitant...that they take on loan and if he acts up send him back.
Yuh know is funny how de off-white Europeans (i.e. some Italians, Portugese, Spaniards) rival many of the northern European countries in their levels of racism.
Maybe dey feel dey have to "prove" their "whiteness".
Who knows?
Rival? To me dem is the worst, along with the folks from Eastern Europe..Yeah, Italy, Spain, Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia are the countries I always hear about making racist chants.
Allyuh see de kick totti ress on him today? And people does wonder why de boy have attitude......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d9dESIrvLg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d9dESIrvLg)
....apparently totti say that Balotelli had gestured to the Roma fans when he scored in Rome?
Well BOY! Dat italian bitch was gettin' one break-foot eh........career over!
Dais the same man who call Zidane mother a terrorist?
where is the outcry on this barbaric act? if it was the other way you woulda see all kinda ole talk about Balotelli this and Balotelli that...
Surprise no one ent say he look for dat >:(
Big Up!
Roma striker Francesco Totti says that his 'attack' on Inter counterpart Mario Balotelli was because of a previous incident between the two on the pitch, as the Nerazzurri won 1-0 to claim the Coppa Italia title.
Also, the World Cup winner admits that the kick to the 19-year-old's legs had to do with a previous incident that occurred at San Siro.
"I kicked him because of what he said on the pitch, and for what he did at San Siro," Totti said to forzaroma.info.
Last season, when Balotelli scored a brace against the Giallorossi in a memorable 3-3 draw, the enigmatic forward rushed up to the travelling fans and told them to hush, by placing his finger over his mouth after scoring a goal.
He could turn tail and run ...or he could do like Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays ,and break down barriers .
So dis hypocritical ass forget wha he doromaLazio fans just two weeks ago?

ah hear so much racism topics coming out from the Italian league for the last 15 years yuh would think by now FIFA will put some type of sanction or some type ah rule to combat the issue..ah dunno nah but it does not look like it will stop anytime soon..TOO MUCH MONEY for Seap Bladder and he pardnas

I feel the man will be a great buy for Arsenal. Wenger like them young and he have experience with cocky, overconfident bastards like Anelka and Bentdner. Only thing is, Balotelli actually as good as he think he is.
This way he could escape the bs in Italy and become the best player in the world at Arsenal a la Henry.
That is the only "big" side in the world where he could walk in and become a star boy instantly.
Dais the same man who call Zidane mother a terrorist?
No dahs mazzeratzi...a totally different blot to humanity on the whole.

Misinformation is a hell of a thing. Zidane himself has since confirmed that that is NOT what he said ::)
And he use to winnin, why go to Arsenal.
Where are all the fckin retards on this site, that does come here jumping on BLACK-super-talented-grew-up-in-racist-Italy Balloteli's back, when he toss a fckin jersey or make gestures to the fans? If a "world class" player like Totti is willing to kick this boy down like a dog in front of cameras and not worry bout consequence, WHAT THE FCK YALL think does happen behind the scenes? Use your imagination! None has lived a day in his shoes, seen, heard or experienced the things he has HIS ENTIRE LIFE, from these Racist, Fascist, Disgusting people....
When you born and grow in that kinda hatred, a young man, and just figuring yourself out, yuh bound to act out...
On a lighter note.... Come Chelsea boy... Drogba getting old...

That is why I will never support italy!
I will love to hear what the "special one" Jose has to say about Totee's act cause I know he'll have some harsh words for Mr. Totee since his mouth don't hold water especially when it comes to defending his team.
Ok let me chime in here ..Totti comment
"You can't always ignore very offensive insults on the pitch, direct and indirect that try to dirty a city and an entire people,” Totti said."
See that I think this is the crux of the matter . They want him to ride out ,he totally wrecking the nations rep ,his fault or not .Bringing to much heat in the area.
It not working out ,just ride .
Add Seedorf to that list.
As much as they've been a source of some of the most talented GK's in football, I could never bring myself to support this country, either, for various reasons. Every body and they mudder has come out to criticize or weigh-in on the Balotelli maelstrom over the past weeks. Maldini, Baggio, one setta men coming down on the boy. totti come out and commit such an egregious act and every body mout' sip up. Even Jose loss some serious points in my book.
where is the outcry on this barbaric act?
From the article, Lippi is leaving him out for tactical reasons, nothing to do with that game, although I'm sure this performance will cement Lippi's stance.And the Pepe episode didn't involve racism.
What I really want to see is a long ban.
Pepe got 10 games AND he apologised.
So far Totti has just acted like a spoilt prick.
In my opinion, Sere A needs to handle this very carefully.
They need to send a good message. Serie A is ranked 3rd or 4th in terms of prestige right now, and failure to punish indiscipline will only hurt their reputation in the eyes of foreigners.
They need to be able to attract foreign fans and foreign players in order to bring the league back up to it's previous status.
Let's see how they do things in Italy.

Everybody mout zip up because dem feel Balotelli get he just desserts and secretly dem endorse wha Totti do because dem woulda like to do it deyself.
Mario Balotelli might be the lightening rod for eventual change in racial attitudes by everyone in sport. But before it gets better, it's going to get much worse. It's already started.
It may very well be that what Mario Balotelli achieves off the field is so much more than anything he could ever achieve on it.
I don't envy the fella but I LOVE his spirit. It's very easy to just do what everybody else tell you to do rather than go with your instincts, especially when the consequences involve so much personal abuse. If he wasn't extraordinarily talented, he would have been out of the game already.
All i can say is that if i was Balotelli's teammate Totti wouldve gotten hit hard.

The fact that he wasn't speaks volumes.
Amazing....the man get kick down, then if people didn't notice, he got a kick to the head to finish it off. And the man openly justifying that with bullshit bout offending people or something so. What a bullshit league that that sort of thing could be tolerated, even without the racist element. And his teammates did not even bat an eyelid, with Maicon :o seeming to give him a pat on the back too. WTF...and Maicon is definitely one of my favourite players in the world. He lose real points fuh dat, Cyar look at him the same way. Seem like man real hate Ballotelli boy.The level of racism is so pronounced in Italy that players are discouraged from even saying anything.
Fuh me that is not a foul, that is assault, and criminal charges should be filed. The man openly and unapologetically admitting it. Wow!!
AGAIN......Italy and Argentina, two countries that could never, NEVER get my support.

yes, balotelli should leave the ignorant racist italian league - he should go to a more enlightened league like dc united where a certain nobel peace prize laureate will come out to the game to cheer him on in a friendly race neutral environment. /:)
seriously, balotelli's story (adoption) is a real barrier to people, italians in particular, accepting him. he diss he own parents and his native people (ghana) which, for an italian family-first culture, is a no no. this also separates him from other potential mentors (maicon, eto'o, etc.) since none of them pushing to be italian as much as he.

His parents showed up after he made the Inter first team. He shunned them for giving him up and basically forgetting him until he became a professional. He don't take shit from nobody, and I eh give wrong.

^^^^Words is wind, blacks are not the only people that are victims of abusive statements. Look at Beckham in his first world cup, if you are a professional discipline is a major factor. Your contest depending on thier class will do everything they can to throw you off your game or get you sent off, it is a very dark side of the beautiful game, some of the greats have bowed to it.. zidane. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is a positive result.
Ahh... finally, somebody who could give me some good Powerball numbers... since you seem to be consorting with Ms. Cleo to know what "black people" think and what (some) Italians mean by their continued abuse of Balotelli. The Monkey chants and "no such thing as a 'black Italian' " chants at Bologna and Juve last year? Referencing his "attitude" on the pitch of course. Funny I've never read about Monkey chants or "he's not one of us" directed at Materazzi among others.
None so blind...

Just wow... Racism??? Seriously? I am so sick of black people thinking society owes them something and every little thing that white people do is racist towards them. STFU please and grow up or be like Micheal Jackson and die confused...
Batotellli and Totti incident is PART of the game. Inter defended strongly, Roma couldnt make any plays and although Totti came on it didnt change how Roma played, he got frustrated and lashed out.
Just imagine.. Balotelli did what any good strike would do, hold the ball and try to score from nothing, totti felt the game was already settled by milito goal.. while super mario jus beats'in men left right and center.. he has a way of trying to embrass players like the sex on Malouda when he came on.
Yes totti deserved punishment and rightly so. I am not white so dont call me italian and inter fans and players love balotelli and he loves them. When he scored against Chievo they chanted his name like everyone else. Italy wants to see good football and less atitude. Maicon and a Eto along wity the rest of the inter squad did the right thing and not get themselves banned, its called been a professional, some of you dont know what this word means.
They have alot to play for, more so than Roma who was depending on the italain cup as thier only prize this season. Wehn inter took everything from them
^^^^Words is wind, blacks are not the only people that are victims of abusive statements. Look at Beckham in his first world cup, if you are a professional discipline is a major factor. Your contest depending on thier class will do everything they can to throw you off your game or get you sent off, it is a very dark side of the beautiful game, some of the greats have bowed to it.. zidane. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is a positive result.
Ahh... finally, somebody who could give me some good Powerball numbers... since you seem to be consorting with Ms. Cleo to know what "black people" think and what (some) Italians mean by their continued abuse of Balotelli. The Monkey chants and "no such thing as a 'black Italian' " chants at Bologna and Juve last year? Referencing his "attitude" on the pitch of course. Funny I've never read about Monkey chants or "he's not one of us" directed at Materazzi among others.
None so blind...
I love balotelli too much and I am not a fan of racism at all but super mario needs to keep his performances on the pitch and be a professional about it. Don't let the fans dictate how you play the game and he needs to start tracking back and working hard like milito, eto and company.
He is still very young and will feature for the Azzuri one day. And NO Arsenal you can't have him.
So Totee decide to take matters into his own hands and kick him like he is a dog? And that is okay and understandable how?Put yourself in his position, old age, captain of the roma side that is losing without having a close sniff or shot on target to save your life with a teenager trying to take apart your team in a cup final. What would you do under pressure?
He didn't even have the decent commency to face him and do it! If he so bad he should have do it from the front if trying to send a message.

And about the apology.. both players have too much pride, sure let totti apologies to a side that jus whip his team in the finals. I know you guys don't like me, trust me the feeling is mutual, learn the mechanics of the game and pay close attention to details like jose and you too shall be enlighten.
Jose and inter under fire as is with everything to lose and win, why risk it all for a teenager. For the last time, inter fans boo super mario because he don't show the same work rate as the rest of the team. many many times have i seen him walk around the pitch get the ball without moving make a pass.. rel rel lazy man thing.. then lose the ball and dont go fighting for it.
Just stfu on super mario and inter.. wtf u guys know about italian football or the people that live there. why you think mario will NOT leave italy and move to ghana.. Do the math
Why you talking about being professional and disciple in reference to how Balotelli should handle himself but then givin Totee a bly. That tells me you cosigning his actions- so Balotelli younger but should know better and Totee old so he should be excused?

why alyuh humour dis fella alyuh so bored ???Last time I checked this is a forum, you might wanna wiki that and while you at it please change that hideous looking signature has no relevance to football. Lets jus say it's a sig a mentally challenged person would coast.

Anyways the entire point I have been trying to send across is simple. This is NOT a racism situation with balotelli, it is a teenager problem. Like Rooney he will be guided unless he @$@#4 it up. Stop making this something it ain't. Eto work rate compare to Balotelli speaks for itself or that of any others for that matter.
Fans unconditionally love and accepted Eto, Maicon and many many other blacks for crying out loud this is why this club was CREATED in the first place ::) ::) ::) ::). So leave it up to the pros who have dealt with this stuff for many years way before the real Ronaldo times.
So the great Totti basically got outsmarted by an "absolute beginner" then? Or is it that "professionalism" is something that can be donned whenever convenient... sorta like an old windbreaker... or yuh favorite pair ah jockey shorts?I am not defending totti, all i am saying is if eto or milito was trying to run threw three roma players they would have also gotten kicked because of the situation, the prize and the reigns of inter that roma and it's captain find hard to accept.

Absolutely the committee will make an example out of totti, with italy under close surveillance it is assured, however the real penalty is yet to be given. I expect atleast six roma players to be heavily fined, suspended and banned along with the club itself.. roma, after the major competitions is spotlighted. Just remember the leagues ambitions and character is at stake with totti as golden boy in his own corner, it is hard to hate someone who has given you everything for the last ten years even it is.. ignorance, attitude etc.
These things takes time to analyze with legal actions a serious effort of evidence must be presented. The world is watching italy at the moment because of inter NOT roma(hard to swallow), they will wait until the CL is over to shell out the fines etc.
The difference between totti and balotelli is one has won everything to win and one has not yet.
I confess that i maybe a hypocrite at times but i know for sure that i am not nasty and closed minded like some people you see while shaving.
Quit while yuh behind-this is going zerowhere!The real reason why some of you like him is because his parents are from ghana and that he is a blackman.
anyone else care to fight this down any further? :rotfl:You should engage in open debate.
Going through the goal.com comments on this Balotelli comments reveals the absolute disgust fans have for Totti but also the truly pervasive nature of Italian racism. It would be foolish to ignore the fact that Balotelli is jeered every match not because he is rude or likes to embarrass players with the ball but because he is black. Eto'o once walked off the pitch because of racial abuse. He also kicked the ball into the crowd a few times while in Spain. Zoro was reduced tears because of the constant abuse.
Totti's kick was the last straw for me and Italian football. Totti tried to end a youthman career. And you hear the excuse , he abuse my fans and I remember what he did last year in the San Siro.( I did not forget). An ignorant bastard like Totti could never correct the evil in anybody else. So you openly bad mind and want to play vigilante during the game. And oh Balotelli just happen to be on the ball and you just happen to be losing.
A four match suspension for this egregious act of violence confirms the racism of Italian football. Balotelli could cuss if people calling him nigger in the stands as far as I'm concerned. Italians can't handle embarrassment. The football world needs to see what they're doing.
Shotta, you tell me what other race in europe does get monkey chants and racist insults hurled @ them on ah regular?? only arabs, and that's only after 9-11, apart from that, NONE!!!
yuh talkin real outta timin yow!!
henry, eto, kenute, ballotelli , suazo can't all be wrong!! black players are the most taunted in the whole of europe, and no other race suffers the abuse like black ballers! no koreans/ asians, no hispanics, and recently after 9-11 the arabs are being targeted, but before that, they went quite unnoticed!
yuh must read about the experiences of fellas like tressaue , tigana, usabio, and the very first black player in the EPL, can't remember his name , but he played for chelsea. then tell me if yuh still feel the same.
Man I wholeheartedly agree with you, racism is ulgy bizness.. I hate it, half of my family is blacks as well as myself but I don't let that take hold of me. Racism is only a factor if you let it. Dont let it control your ambitions!! Do what you have to do for you and forget what people say to try and bring you down.
What makes you think Balotelli not doing what you describing? Maybe that is why they keep racially abusing him because he knows what he wants and he will not be overcome!
Sorry for triple post, this needs its own.You would have the be the single dumbest poster I have ever seen on this board.
The big question:
HOW DO YOU BEAT RACISM?
Again.. very simple. Show that it does not affect you and your performances.
It is a beautiful thing when a racist person accepts someone of color not because of his roots but because of his accomplishments.
My lesson of the day.
-THE REAL SHOTTA is out.

Mario is not doing what he supposed to be doing that is why he is not starting ahead of milito, eto and pandev, only recently has he been listening to jose but still you can see the manager cant reach him completely and if he cant no one can. but this is an age thing, maybe not exactly like rooney but kinda..

Totti said that the kick was for Balotelli's disrespect.
You are aware of that, yet you come and say that other men woulda get kicked too.
No logic, you just wastin space.
totti has enough power to break mario legs thats for sure, he didnt used his instep or outside of his boot (a stamp, best way to break someones foot), he used his right inside of his boot on mario's right calf. An experienced player with conviction with force could of easily break mario leg if they really wanted too.
Not credit but understanding that everyone is human and everyone gets old.
So Totti should get some credit because according to your analysis, he did not want to break Balotelli's leg.
Bravo
So he old and according to you, he didn't try to Balotelli's leg.
Well done Totti!
Too bad none of that matters.
What matters is that he committed a violent act and several smaller ignorant ones and he was unapologetic about it.
I personally would not mind if somebody rake his face with some pegs next time he plays.
...cause Sinisa Mihailovic rumoured to be the next Inter coach after leaving Catania. Now that is the most racial man I ever see grace a football field.Hard luck for Super Mario.
Balotelli will become even more unwelcomed if he stay with Inter

It would seem so on the surface but by all accounts Balotelli and Mihailovic have a great relationship and are very close. Mihailovic was part of Mancini's staff and his job to to act as a players' liason/ombudsman. I have heard some Italian commentators saying that a Mihailovic move would actually go some ways to making it easier on Balotelli, especially if Mourinho take Milito with him to Real.
Mihailovic might very well be a racist one of them characters who like to be the villain and rile up opposition players and fans any way he can. Nasty when he cross the white line but a normal guy off the pitch.
I agree - from some of the public comments Mihajlovic has made about Balotelli, it seems like he was one of his mentors during his time coaching at Inter.

Yeah, with a mentor like Mihailovic yuh could undertsand why Balotelli doesn't mind being as combative as he is.

Wonder how much longer Inter and Ballotelli will flow in the same sentence ??...hold on de ketchup pardner ....his greatest asset on the side after Schneider ? how we reach dey ? aren't we getting a bit carried away here ...Ballotelli has to first be a regular on de team dont you think ?
Its amazing how in some cases plaers get rated by what they could potentially do ( ballotelli, Rooney etc. ) while others have to do it first before they are rated ...Messi, Kun, Milito..

You were going good until that last part. Balotelli & Rooney not in the same category as far as potential and what's actually been realized. Balotelli is still largely potential, Rooney has put in his fair due.
Messi & Kun are both rated, and were rated from a very young age based on pure potential. Messi was being hailed as the second coming since he was an U-20. Milito seems like a "later bloomer" because even though he was always a goal scoring machine he never shone like he could because he didn't play for a top tier team- that's normal. How many people you think recognize that Darren Bent was the 3rd highest scorer in the Premier League this season and going into the last game he was actually in contention to end on top?
No surprise that your pity only goes out to Argentine players though- you have some serious hangups dread lol....
totti is ah Cop Unc Njac Top

Interesting thatyuh mention Kun. In the UEFA Final thread somebody was questioning his hype but Kun Aguero is the real deal. He has the ability to hit a pgood patch and be the absolute best in the world for a while just as Ronaldo and Messi have been over the past two years. The problem is he is not at a high profile club and is not playing with a good team. Torres was highly rated but had average output when he was at Atletico. Move to Liverpool and he is one of the world’s best strikers (If he move to a better club he would be even better). Aguero would make Mas at a club like Chelsea right now.
For next season the man to watch is Villa. He outscore everybody for the past 5 years while everybody praising the strikers at big clubs. He will absolutely destroy at Barcelona next year and is a good bet for the golden ball before he even suit up.
Kun showed what he could do when he scored within seconds of taking the field against Canada. Most times when this happens it is from being in the right place at the right time ...a la Palermo, Ian rush, Paolo Rossi etc. except in Kun's case he picked up the ball around the half and the next person to get a touch was the goalkeeper after it hit the net. Higuain is lower in the pecking order than Tevez, Messi and Kun as finishers and he is number two in Spain playing alongside Ronaldo who doh give nobody nothing !

Tough to say. At Barca Villa will have to share the wealth more so than he did at Valencia where it was pretty much him and any other 10...
Kun has all the assets- just need to get more deadly in front of goal from a pure finishing perspective....same story with Torres when he was in Spain- fella used to real throw away...Not sure if he's getting better chances in front of goal at Liverpool or if he is just a better finisher now than he was then.
I dont believe any team in theworld has ever had a more potent strike force than this argentina team. It is up to them to bring home the bacon ..
not too long now .... Waka waka esto es Africa !!

As for Villa so many of his goals were self-made that he will benfit from having better players around him. If Henry could score 20 in his waning days in that setup Villa could easily put up Messi numbers. specially if they have the tactical freedom that Fabregas will bring to the team.
Higuain is lower in the pecking order than Tevez, Messi and Kun as finishers and he is number two in Spain
As a pure finisher, Higuain is better than Kun. Not saying he's a better player, but he's a better finisher.
I curious about this Fabergas to Barca move.
Fabergas is a midfield general
But Barca already has Xavi and Iniesta
Add to that Keita and Toure who play totally different types of games and fulfill a different function than Fabergas, where & how exactly does Fabergas fit in?
Even for Spain, Fabergas is a reserve coming off the bench because he cannot unseat Xavi, Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, and Silva in the starting lineup.
I understand he wants to win trophies and Barca is as good a club as any in the world to do that, but I doubt he'll be truly happy doing so sitting on the bench most of the time.

To top score at Real, u hadda be special. Especially like u say, with a man like Ronaldo who not sharing the ball. And with men like Benzema and Raul breathing down ur neck if u hit a bad patch.
Segio Aguero is Maradona son -in law though, right? So he and Messi safe on either side of a 3 man strike force...

yup Kun is maradona's son in law but he was on argentina's senior team before he became Maradona's son in law and before maradona was coach. Kun and messi teamed up to win de youth world cup and Maradona said then he would love to see dem playing together for argentina's senior team. Now he has the chance to make it happen.
Higuain is not a better percentage finisher than Kun ...every argentinian fan knows that ...the big ones ...Kun does not fail ...Higuain can sometimes cause you grief when it matters.. as Real have found out this season ..notwithstanding his goals total.
But I rate even Tevez above them both for his high work rate and never say die attitude ...messi and tevez will terrorize any defence in the world. we going short ...milito go jess have to watch yes !
yeah me too Palos...I eh know where Fab fitting cause them two have him on the bench already for Spain.
But I not doubting Guardiola, he prove that he know what he doing.
All i could wager is that Xavi will fill the rold that Xabi Alonso plays for Spain, while Fabregas and Iniesta will play where Xavi and Iniesta currently play.
Or maybe Pep just want to keep Xavi on his toes since right now he irreplaceable.
(how a Balotelli thread turn into Fabregas and Aguero thread though?) ;D
Leave Milito out? Yuh kidding, right?!
Thais alyuh best striker at the moment.

Was watchin an interview with Gabriele Marcotti today (the main Italian football pundit in England, and an Inter fan), who confirmed that Mihajlovic and Balotelli were very close.

Not really surprised to be honest. They both have strong personalities which could mean that they could either hate eachother or quite possibly like eachother very much...
Racism is a complex thing...people hear Mihajlovic involved with racial slurs and brand him a racist type who will dislike someone like ballotelli...not saying that he isn't racist, but racism is not always that straightforward and black & white (no pun intended)...People bond based on many different factors which, if significant enough will have the strength to trump an ingrained blanket ideology (such as racism)...

Let's invite them for a friendly. Leh we see how well they travel.
Dis man and he damn attitude again...... ::)

No to a multi-cultural italy eh? Aight......nice....it not racial..is just an opinion. Damn disgusting
This is what I would do.
Fifa need to come up with certain stipulations that would lead to these two things
1. 10 year ban on all Fifa Competitions including the big dance
2. 40 year penalty which includes being dropped from The Federation for 40years which includes stiff sanctions of all countries that play the nation under penalty. And a ban on all players from that country playing competitive anywhere in the world. The only loophole is being Naturalized ;).
If after a 10year ban your federation can't handle their own business you deserve a 40 year blacklist.
If you so bold and feel you better than everyone else then play by yourself.
This is what I would do.yeh preacher i agree they should give some kinda penalties but 10 years and 40 years kinda harsh i tink ::). The children and grandchildren of the romania fans would be paying for dey parents ignorance. I tink a stadium ban on the next 10 home games would be enough. Increase to 20 if it happen again.

Right....and which FIFA going and ban Italy? Italy is a football superpower...and it real corrupt too...so dahs like de perfect country for FIFA's method of business.
It all comes down to them wanting to deal with it..and the backlash (financially especially) that they may get from it. FIFA eh care bout image as much unless the image helping de accounts. Which goes to show that is just a mamaguy for them.
I have no problem with what he said; Balotelli just staying to script. Jack Wilshere probably doesn't know who Jack Wilshere is yet either. Plus what has Wilshere done/won yet? Play for a overrated England and Arsenal side who has yet to win shite!

I think he has brains but he has some growing up to do, but this is where he is at this time in his life and development. I still don't have any problem with what he said. It also seem though that he may have said it in a joking way versus arrogant way. It is easy to interpret it it as impsy or arrogant without actually viewing him saying it. I wonder if the media would have even written about it if Wilshere was not English and the next choosen one?

I have no problem with what he said; Balotelli just staying to script. Jack Wilshere probably doesn't know who Jack Wilshere is yet either. Plus what has Wilshere done/won yet? Play for a overrated England and Arsenal side who has yet to win shite!
yet to win shite? so the fa cups, the league, the unbeaten run of 49 games? are all shite?

Gunner you seem to be gettin your lines crossed somewhere. My original post was not referring to Arsenal's history but the present side which like Wilshere is all about potential not based on anything they or he has done or have won. Has he contributed to Arsenal winning anything the way Balotelli contributed to Inter during his time there? Winning that tourney you guys win every summer in Holland does not count.

wires crossed or not, it will remain to see if balotelli will directly help city win anything
balotelli was already established this was jacks break out year with regular starts
so far balotelli has shown nothing of note in the EPL
and we all know that balotelli won stuff simply because the special one was there and money to back him up
Balotelli could f**k off....
pathetic really... could have just accepted the award.... no need to take a dig at Wilshere and then he also had a go at Rooney Fabregas etc by saying everyone but Messi who won the award are behind him
LOLLLL
Thank God United didnt buy that waste of break

Smalls you and I will have to agree to disagree here. Balotelli is no more immature or arrogant than Ronaldo was when he came to United or still sometimes displays today. If he want to say he better than all those fellas so what? It falls on him nobody else. He was smart enough to say Messi was better which he is; so what does tell you?
yet he is a little boy(even though huge lol) with a bad attitude

the difference Ronaldo was brilliant... Balotelli is a very talented player but yet to really hit any expected heights his arrogance has set.... he won a treble on a bench with a team and crowd that hated him
He is the unhappiest most ignorant modern day footballer I have ever seen... has he ever smiled?
He is so fortunate to be in that situation.. he was adopted, hated in Italy and now has a fresh chance to become a man but yet he is a little boy(even though huge lol) with a bad attitude
Cheer up Balo!

all the natural talent in the world can only go so far in development if his mind doesn't develop
he needs wenger to nuture him :rotfl:
everyone calls walcott toots dog mind he scored a hatrick for england and arsenal ppl still doubt him

Who does call Walcott toots?! You mad or wha?! Dah boy is Clint Marcelle and Colin Rocke all wrapped up in one. The only thing I think he is missing is confidence. He was all brave and going hard at defences at youth levels but he just seems at times to be a little shy at takin' on the more seasoned veterans. (maybe is jes' a arsenal thing) but he really proved himself to me in them U-21 playoffs against Germany with them 2 goals he scored. The boy is good.......he just need some of Michael Owen old fearlessness in him, dize all.

fellas always riding theo back dragging him down, thing i admire most about the kid, he works hard and works on the weak parts of his game and always listens to the vets, he still young so i like the improvement shown so far, arsenal always have teams back peddling when he is on

He might be the only thing to stop himself from being one of the best. Especially how it easy for people to take what he doing negatively.
I remember reading an interview once where he said he would only celebrate a goal if it was in a really crucial match like a Champions League or World Cup final.
I hope he becomes the best player in the world and all those wonderful Italians get to watch him play for Italy for another 10years.
Sarcasm??
QuoteI hope he becomes the best player in the world and all those wonderful Italians get to watch him play for Italy for another 10years.
Sarcasm??
Not at all. Some Italians have an issues with him playing for Italy, so I hope he makes it very hard for the coach not to pick him. "They" can enjoy the siight of him in their colours.(that last line was sarcasm)
yeah he dzeko and tevez could be real deadly but time will tell if they could gel together and score the goals

Meh eh see no where in his interviews where baloteli says anything outa timin! i think is the press is who does put their own spin on what the kid says. that's why he said he don't like journalist, he even jokes about his sister being a journalist and goofs wid her about not likin the media, i doh blame him, BC anytime he gets interviewed it turns into a fanfare.
that kid is not a trouble maker, i think he's just an ordinary yute just leavin his teens, he will learn.

Yup... agreed. Somehow these conniving journalists always end up making him look like a supreme jackass. Quite a feat considering he never gives them anything to work with.
Allyuh give de yute a break...you know what they say when you were a child you spoke like a child and acted like a child but this child Balotelli has been thrust into a man's world and just doesn't know any better.

Half ah allyuh only indulging he in he shit because he black. Check my posts on all the drama that went down at Inter and you'll see that I supported that fella right thru until he got to City. My mind start to change with the whole Wilshire thing... after ah while you just have to let people lie in the bed they make.
Exactly.........Same reason men here only coming down on Suarez because he hands the ball against an African side. Who here does complain about "the hand of God" being cheating?
True the man have a hard time being a black Italian but thats no excuse to be a jerk to everyone else - I sure he eh getting no set of racism from the English.
:shameonyou: :shameonyou: Ah really suprised tuh hear dat coming from you! i for one not supporting mario Bc he's black, but BC the yute is gettin ah raw deal. anything he says would be held against him BC he's ah stand out.Allyuh give de yute a break...you know what they say when you were a child you spoke like a child and acted like a child but this child Balotelli has been thrust into a man's world and just doesn't know any better.

if i remember correctly, fellas like rooney, evens, barton and ah host of footballers does do and say all kinda c@nt, things wost than mario and they don't get the flack that super mario does be gettin.
like the time when mario was forced by the journalist to put on a milan shirt in innocent harmless fun, and as i recalled the kid didn't even want tuh do it but the grown ass man forced him, and eighteen yrs old kid!
after that it was no rest for the bredder, they bombed his car they racially abused him and all kinda disrespect! that's why he came to england! and now if this boy fart too hard it makin front page, but while we @ it, what about zlatan's statement about him comin back to inter, yuh don't think that's ah facked up thing to say since zlatan is one ah de biggest kakah@les in football and is far more worthy of criticism ?
BTW, never judge ah man until yuh walk ah mile in his shoes. fuh the lil time this boy on earth he probably experienced more racism than you'll ever experience in yuh whole life time.
D man get caught up. Suarez smart and save he team. Uruguayan die hard. If Trinidad was playing and and any of we outfield players do that, I doh care. He save my team on d world's biggest stage. He still playin he football no matter what anybody say.Suarez is ah c@nt!! and i go on record as too say, if any T&T footballer ever did something like that i would be sooooo ashamed tuh even bragg or feel good about the team's success under such an unsportsman like display.

maybe yuh might be on yuh own in this respect, BC i know i'd rather lose gracefully than win under such dubious conditions. that's why i hate latin american footballers, they'll do anything to win, and by doing so, they're continuing to destroy the integrity of the " beautiful game"
Rooney spittin on ppl , cussin out referees, johnny evans on rape charges , man gettin drunk and beatin up civilians, barton and all his troubles, man beatin up they gyul and innocent ppl, ledley king, lescott and the list goes on and on and the press don't hound them half as hard as they do marrio. i think yuhs the one wid the bad memory!:shameonyou: :shameonyou: Ah really suprised tuh hear dat coming from you! i for one not supporting mario Bc he's black, but BC the yute is gettin ah raw deal. anything he says would be held against him BC he's ah stand out.

Ahight man yuh make yuh point, but why is it yuh have to be so abusive ? like allyuh does forget is grown folks allyuh does be talkin too and not litlle kids ? ah man could make ah point without being so brutish in speech.Rooney spittin on ppl , cussin out referees, johnny evans on rape charges , man gettin drunk and beatin up civilians, barton and all his troubles, man beatin up they gyul and innocent ppl, ledley king, lescott and the list goes on and on and the press don't hound them half as hard as they do marrio. i think yuhs the one wid the bad memory!
You talking shit.
First off nobody "hounding" Balotelli. Find me ONE article where the press so-called 'hounding' him. You definitely won't find it among the English press... who are the ones you using to compare those other players. So if your argument is that the English press has been easy on those players, then they being just as easy on Balotelli. Not that your argument has any merit because all of those players have rightly been criticized for their off-field behavior... Barton in particular is a regular punching bag for his bad behavior. Even Rooney this past season has been 'hounded' for committing the sin of screwing some old prostitute. So exactly what shit yuh talking?
Ahight man yuh make yuh point, but why is it yuh have to be so abusive ? like allyuh does forget is grown folks allyuh does be talkin too and not litlle kids ? ah man could make ah point without being so brutish in speech.
i know sometimes ah does talk down tuh ppl, but them is men who got on my case so i respond accordingly, right now me eh callin yuh out in ah disrespectful way, we just reasonin, so no need fuh all dat breds, i here tuh share not to be abused.

Give the yuteman ah chance, just like all the dutty english players that get they chance to do all the madness they chalk up to being "ah boy".
Carragher eh get send of for slashing Nani leg in to, but as soon as Ballotelli breathe ona ah player is card. That same game that player who hit Tevez eh get send off.
It's only because he is BLACK and he is potentially the best player to be. I going and do a complilation of Balotelli sending off in comparison to the way Rooney, Brown, Vidic and Scholes play.

Elan you rell funny yes; you dos jus look tuh find fault in any statement made by anybody who supports United. I am a big fan and defender of Mario and I have no love for English players. In my opinion it seems he dos be doing some real dotish and unnecessary stuff on the pitch that taking away from his talents on the field. I find his interviews entertaining but he needs to focus on becoming the player he can become . Allegedly he apologised to his team for getting set off .
Mario you f*ckin idiot; time to grow up!
Give the yuteman ah chance, just like all the dutty english players that get they chance to do all the madness they chalk up to being "ah boy".
Carragher eh get send of for slashing Nani leg in to, but as soon as Ballotelli breathe ona ah player is card. That same game that player who hit Tevez eh get send off.
It's only because he is BLACK and he is potentially the best player to be. I going and do a complilation of Balotelli sending off in comparison to the way Rooney, Brown, Vidic and Scholes play.
Elan you rell funny yes; you dos jus look tuh find fault in any statement made by anybody who supports United. I am a big fan and defender of Mario and I have no love for English players. In my opinion it seems he dos be doing some real dotish and unnecessary stuff on the pitch that taking away from his talents on the field. I find his interviews entertaining but he needs to focus on becoming the player he can become . Allegedly he apologised to his team for getting set off .
NOt you perse yuh know, but everybody. Any litle thing the yute do does be blown out of proportion, anything. Look they saying the yuteman chupidy because he struggling to put on ah bib. Zeppo and all took time off from writing Lalas and Harkes commentary on why Donovan is a better player than Beckham to comment on the video.
Can't see how people not seeing that the fella is being targeted, that is what's gets me. Rooney elbow to that dude head was an OFF THE BALL move, how much lower do you have to get to do that? And he was not penalized, so how what Balotelli do on the field (not nearly as bad as that intentional elbow) is different and he should know better when a grown as man who making ah mint ah money doing all that shyte and getting away.

Personally I feel the lil vest thing is nonsense really ... that's the media taking the piss out of him but he keeps getting chance after chance to establish himself and he keeps doing these dumb things and there is no one to blame except himself for these things.... my comparison to sheen is as such ... sheen is a typical spoilt, rich kid who get everything handed to him on a platter and as such is revelling in his current role of a stupid whiteboy and simply doing the things that become him because he is simply a fool.
Even assuming Bolatelli didnt have life as easy as sheen which obviously he didn't he is currently playing the game he loves and being paid handsomely to do so why doesn't he just get on with it rather than risk his career with his antics just seems illogical to me.
People have this thing when they f**k up... kinda like well Rooney is f**king up so why aren't they coming down on him...but even if they did how would that justify his f**kups? I mean really what does one idiot's failing have to do with yours?... its something I've never understood n never will!
I am sure that many of us that has played, been around and witnessed organised sports have seen men get tie-up with training vests, so I really doh see what the big deal is all about. This lil' episode, to me, says more about Balotelli's temperament than his so-called "intelligence". Of course, being who he is and how polarizing his whole existence is proving to be, the mere mention of his name will elicit all the stored hate that people have for him. Imagine ngozi saying that comparing him to rooney is unwarranted but then turning aroung and comparing him to charlie sheen. But then again, maybe there's some truth to that...I am willing to bet that Balotelli didn't have his personal or professional life as easy as either one of them two fools. No comparison in trute.Countless times. I really don't see what is the point here.

Balotelli caught throwing darts
March 27, 2011
By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent
Manchester City are to hold a meeting on Monday to discuss Mario Balotelli's disciplinary issues after he was caught throwing darts from a first-floor window.
Balotelli said in The People that he threw the darts in the direction of youth players because he was "bored". Nobody was hurt during the incident and ESPNsoccernet has been informed that the club view the incident as a misguided prank rather than a serious transgression.
However, Balotelli has continued to attract negative press since leaving Inter in the summer and was fined two weeks' wages for his dismissal in the Europa League game against Dynamo Kiev. Roberto Mancini held the forward responsible for City's failure to overturn the 2-0 deficit from the first leg and described his actions as "stupid".
ESPNsoccernet understands that Mancini was not aware of this latest incident on Sunday morning as he had been away from the club, but there was due to be a conversation between the board and the manager on Monday to bring him up to speed.
A club spokesman said: "The matter will be dealt with internally."

Premier League - Balotelli saves boy from bullying
Tue, 10 May 11:32:00 2011
The Sun reports that the Italian striker was asked for an autograph by the young fan at City's training ground, but turned the tables on the lad by asking him why he was playing truant from school.
The boy explained that he was absent because he was being bullied - sparking an incredible reaction from the 20-year-old superstar.
The City ace drove the boy and his mother to the school and demanded to speak to both the headmaster and the bully, during which he apparently mediated as the two boys buried their differences.
The unlikely knight in shining armour - who has hit the headlines all season for a string of on- and off-pitch controversies - then made the pair shake hands before he sped off in his Maserati.
"Mario feels strongly about bullying and thinks it's out of order, " a source told the paper.
"He had no qualms about sorting the mess out as he felt the lad should not be missing out on school."

To be fair..it damn difficult NOT to speed when yuh drivin dat kinda beast
The probably thought that the whistle had blown. Atleast that what it looks like he was explaining to Mancini. Give the yute a breakLol well he is d only one that hear that whistle if u believe that
If it did score....we woulda argue it disrespectful ent?
If it did score....we woulda argue it disrespectful ent?
like d back heel penalty? :devil:
My point exactly.
It look stupid. Like any attempt of unnecessary skill that doesnt come off. But oh gorm. Pre-season friendly...when yuh rather him do it? In a champions league knock out game?
All de talk bout encourage skill and ting in de game doh apply cuz is mario? He doh do things to endear public opinion....but still.

That showed such an utter lack of common sense. Preseason or not, these English teams come to the US (and travel to the the Far East) on 'goodwill' tours... goodwill meaning they hope fans feel "good" enough about seeing the team that they become interested enough to spend money on team paraphernalia, or even become fans.
What he did is disrespectful to the opposition, whether he score or doh score. Okay, we know MLS ent up to EPL standards but dat is showing utter contempt for them fellas out there who giving honest effort for L.A. It also disrespectful to fans who have to pay out a pretty penny (especially in these times) to see a man disrespect yuh club like that and to show you that he out there for his enjoyment, not for yours.
Lost in all of that is the quality of the pass by Silva... and secondly, the type of discord things like this threatens in the locker room. I would really be surprised if this yute ever get another call up to the Azurri, carrying on like this. I now starting to see for myself (after defending him tooth and nail) why some Italian fans doh like him.
Understand my point.
It was stupid. He try something. It did not come off. I SWEAR that net getting rip den I see what happen and I in shock...he probably went to shoot and changed his mind.
However in the context of the situation....it eh dat major.
If it did score...you woulda hear it disrespectful...and den de old debate of skill and what not.
But it getting over hyped because its Mario. He track record doh help. But to contrast.....de player with the backheel penalty.....wha's his name? In fact that was more premeditated than this...where Mario had to curb instinct to blast the net to try something different..which I sure ultimately is one major reason he missed.
It have some youth men in church I does sweat with off and on....I doh have de time to train with dem and ting...but any time it have a tournament we could play in..we dey. Its like I a player/coach.
Anyhow...one youth there reminds me of Mario. Skill for days...and he knows it. ALWAYS showing off. ALWAYS. ALWAYS in conflict with his father...moody..petulant....but a good youth when yuh reach out to him. At 15...it still very different from Mario who at 20 plus. One game we playing....he tear through 3 men....went back to beat one...hit him a spanner and made him fall. All this while me and a next team mate on top the box begging for the pass.
Spanner distributed......he turns....and shoots......and it sails over the bar. I stop...and watch him. Said nothing...just watched him. He knew he did filth.
After the game.....(cause it was just a friendly sweat with some fellas in de area..)...I say...."How much times I tell yuh doh overdo it?" No answer. I start something I said to him before....how his attitude would cause him to underachieve a lot. He said sorry.
He eh totally reformed...buh yuh hadda still appreciate the context.
Mario would obviously be seen as different. He a seasoned professional. A seasoned underachiever because of his conduct. He has this facade that strives to be the center of attention. It could and very likely to destroy his career.
De goal wasnt that important. It might do a lot for humbling him. Who knows. If it had scored....it woulda be seen as disrespectful.
But if messi did it....genius.
Why? Gopaul luck eh Seapaul luck. Messi history eh one that would make the obvious motivation seem like showboating. So it might go down very differently.
Dahs all i saying.
It look like the fella heard the whistle. Or thought he did. That doesn't look like an attempted shot to me. What was he trying to do, slice a back heel near post? lol scheuups. The fella was obviously trying to tell the coach he heard something by way of the official.
And furthermore the setta "is just because he black", pull-the-race-card nonsense talk is irrelevant. High time allyuh stop excusing the man behavior and call him out for what it is... Slackness!! He ain't no victim, he is the author of his own circumstances.
Love how this guy has his own thread on this msg board....
I keep thinking that if it had scored the commentators would have called it a cheeky back heel and it would have been on ESPN highlights but he missed so I guess he had no right to try that. <shrug>
Credit to Mancini too, he real trying with that boy.
i would hav eloved to see that backheel score and then macini take him off, would been far more emphatic and a stronger message to the man child
Credit to Mancini too, he real trying with that boy.
Mancini clearly believes in Balo from their Inter days together, but I dunno how much more rope he gonna extend to him... The guy's head is clearly somewhere else. Even in the FA Cup final when he was almost clearly the man of the match, there was a play where he decided he was gonna coast, and just not run for the ball, and almost allowed Stoke a dangerous counter... Mancini leggo some cuss in he tail and I could just see him thinking "why do I persist with this youth?"....
he should not have pulled Balo...should have called him to the sideline chewed him out but left him on as Balo would have been held accountable for his actions from there on.
So what about Joe Hart's celebration after he scored wasn't that rubbing it in????? he scored so it doesn't matter.
Mancini handled that wrong....he should not have pulled Balo...should have called him to the sideline chewed him out but left him on as Balo would have been held accountable for his actions from there on.
Isn't that in essence what Mancini has been doing ever since Balotelli's been with City? Isn't that in essence what all of his coaches, at every stop, has been doing with him... pulling him aside and having a quiet talk with him hoping the message will sink in?
Allyuh men completely overlooking the issue of the stage on which this played out too, a showcase opportunity for American fans. And before allyuh start with allyuh anti-American nonsense, I talking about from City's perspective, this is a new audience for them (when last have they even played in the US?). This is a huge marketing opportunity for them particularly as they fighting so hard (against the odds) to be seen as a legitimate Big Four contender. Yuh doh take yuh goods to market in a new town, set up yuh stall, spread yuh fruits and then take ah shit in front of it and still expect people tuh come and buy.
As I see it when Mancini pulled him off, he showed Balotelli up but left Balo with no room to make amends. By calling him to the sideline Mancini could have publicly reprimanded him but left the onus on Balotelli to redeem himself.
Yes Bakes they are trying to sell a product but the US crowd is accustomed to the T.O's and Ochocincos.
Mancini's concern should be that he has at least 40 games that matter and that he needs to have all his strikers focused. Balotelli was playing well, having fun and relaxed and Mancini needed to recognize that and turn it to his advantage. He is dealing with a professional who is a child and he needs to turn that child into man and admonishing that child isn't always the best solution.

If that attempt had scored, or if Mancini didn't make his frustration public I think the public image of Man City in the U.S. among those who matter, would have been unaffected. Men woulda watch Balo and bawl "yuh cocky bastard", smirk and forget about that one time...Some mighta even smile at his audacity. Mancini's reaction, even if completely justified could ironically have the effect of showcasing and drawing more attention to the shit Balo took in front of the stall. 6 of one, half dozen of the other if yuh arks me....
Mancini right! any coach with some kinda gusto woulda do the same thing.
"Come off meh f**king field if yuh eh serious".. And lucky yuh eh colleck ah hard slap on de way to de showers.
dis ain't no kumbaya, the football is serious business. Plenty players get haul off for plenty less.

And all this race talk nonsense about is only because he black is BS...as a matter of fact I think ppl making excuses for him BECAUSE he black, which is more detrimental than anything else.
I disagree. There are alot of American soccer fans who know of Balo's reputation. Long gone is the day and age when a ManCity player is a complete unknown in America. He was booed off the pitch. That should tell you what they thought of it.

Yeah but that's not my point. Of course there are some who will boo.
I just think it was more of a "get outta here yuh cocky bastard"...and then outta sight outta mind...than a reaction that reflects some deep, memorable feeling of disrespect that would taint the club's reputation in the United States... I might be wrong, but I eh think Balo have that much pull....
Who is saying this is a deep and memorable insult that will tarnish LA Galaxy's name?
He lucky Fenwick aint he coach :devil:

many will take solace in the fact that his team didn't support or condone his tomfoolery
many will take solace in the fact that his team didn't support or condone his tomfoolery
True...Except pulling him out wasn't the only to not condone/support... I think whether or not he shoulda been pulled out was the point of debate- not whether or not his team supported his poor decisions.
Anyway.....
I think the whole "point" of the debate is even more fundamental than that, clearly there are some who see no transgression, therefore they don't even reach the question of whether the penalty was appropriate or heavy-handed.
So what about Joe Hart's celebration after he scored wasn't that rubbing it in????? he scored so it doesn't matter.

It's funny, I am even hearing that they thought the Penalty he scored was disrespectful, because he had a slow run up and hesitated a lil...he did not even stop like CR7 does and no one ever complains. This is the point I am getting at. If it's Mario, it's bad and alyuh following the media hype.
Tell me or name anything that Mario did that any other footballer never did or attempted. He is only 20 and trying to express himself the only way he knows how. As I said, this is no big deal, but it's a media hype.
Oh, and what does you guys think about the Joe Hart celebration when he saved and scored the penalty?
(http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2011-07/63481908.jpg)
Big Up!
It look like the fella heard the whistle. Or thought he did. That doesn't look like an attempted shot to me. What was he trying to do, slice a back heel near post? lol scheuups. The fella was obviously trying to tell the coach he heard something by way of the official.
looks like it to me..even i thought the whistle had blown altho d whistle wud hav been a higher pitch...im sure he understood d physics of that shot enough not to try it when he aint directly in front d goal...
anyways, one of my favorite players..regardless..
Just now dribbling 4 men consecutively with be disrespectful....
Alyuh take this argument up with Mancini nah
Alyuh take this argument up with Mancini nah
Alyuh take this argument up with Mancini nah
Yuh realize you start dis talk with yuh initial post about the play! ;D Yuh just couldn't help yuh self, eh? What he ever do tuh yuh? :devil:

Yes i light the match now the flames out of control :devil: , It was pretty clear to me it was done deliberately , i dont know how some people hear making excuse how he thought he was offside etc, is only he hear that whistle. Me aint know what that f**ker try to do, but he fail miserably. But that is he life and he have to live by his actions , not us. I see men getting all hot and sweaty over this thing yes :rotfl: ,
f**k City and f**k Balotelli :yawning:
Respectfully DHW Man UTD supporter.
lol the truth is the problem with Balo is that people simply doh like him!!!
When people doh like yuh ... yuh cyah give them ammo else they will kill yuh that is the way of the world.
My beef with him is if he f**king up then he have to do well on the field to halfway justify the trouble he have off the field.
People looking at him as a joke and they don't respect him and I wonder if he realise that?
In this day and age with the racism factor still in a factor in england he have to do himself justice because despite the f**kups when he score the same hyprocrites will praise him.
We could even spin this another way... I thought the lil backheel shit look good lol of course he was on the wrong side of the goal ... let's suppose this was a final vs barca and he end up scoring that goal to win it..... would he face criticism?
Would Mancini take him off?
This whole thing is bullshit just another opportunity for people to take another chunk out of him .. disrespectful to galaxy lol ... please f**k galaxy!!!! After they let Ronaldo mash them up with that goal ...... dem have to earn the right for a player to not view dem as goats!!!
De boy still chupidy tho but get off he damm back!

Big Up!
Nah, you talking real shit now. "media hype" is not what causing man to get on his case. You acting as though the ONLY reason we on him is because of how the commentators in that game (or other reporters) reacting to it... I know you smarter than to really believe that? At least give some of us credit for independently finding his actions objectionable.
I have no issue with Hart 'celebrating' because he stop a penalty... that's just throwing shit into the conversation. You might as well be arguing that players shouldn't celebrate after scoring a goal... completely separate from what we're talking about here. And speaking of which... Hart have a right to celebrate, as would any other player. You can't seriously be trying to make comparisons between celebrating after doing something... and skylarking like Balotelli did.
How soon people forget bout dis.

And dat was in an International friendly to boot eh. Same fete match stylin...but between 2 countries. Ah guess England shoulda feel disrespected and deport him.
But because is Balo......ah well.
It's funny, I am even hearing that they thought the Penalty he scored was disrespectful, because he had a slow run up and hesitated a lil...he did not even stop like CR7 does and no one ever complains. This is the point I am getting at. If it's Mario, it's bad and alyuh following the media hype.

Elan, why bring skin colour into this, that is pure rubbish. It was unprofessional! Simple! How you can even compare Nani chip with what
Boli did?
There is no way Balotelli thought he was offside. It wasnt even close, and he sprinted past the last defender to get the ball.
He try a ting....same situation as de arab fella wid de penalty last week...except he failed miserably :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Had he held his hand up and apologised, or even tried to laugh it off, his teammates and the crowd might have forgiven him (Mancini would probably have still been vex)...but he then made things worse by playin as if thaz what he meant to do :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I doh blame him for trying, football is about entertainment, and this was just a preseason friendly... but this fella is a dunce :rotfl:

Bakes, that statement about media hype and people running aith it was not just about "we" here on this site, but if you look every where there is talk about this. Since when something like this wold make main stream news? Seriously a back heel attempt gone wrong is the talk of the town, by ESPN, FSC, Commentators posting on Twitter and FB...all that for a back heel?
Where was the big media frenzy when Rooney deliberately elbowed another player in game play and never even get called for a foul? I don't even think the league reviewed and did anything about it. Mario kicked out to someone who instigated action on him, that made big news and he was red carded I think. Another game he scored a hattrick, did not even celebrate and people was still criticizing him for that.
Now are you telling me if he had scored that backheel, then it would have been ok, but since he miss it was idiotic? give me a break. Anyways, people done make they mind up and Balotelli would never get the benifit of the doubt, so let him be. He can never win with this public. They are saying, Messi et al can do this and get away with it because of their reputation..what a big joke..dais like saying a priest could kill a man and get away because he blessed and saved 100 lives before that.

What the hell them US supporters know about disrespect in ah football game? Almost the whole stadium was booing the man. Yuh know why? Because of what the media feed them and who he is. They sidung like ah rattle snake and waiting for anything he do to get in on him.

That is the most asinine argument yuh ever make, and yuh make plenty here eh. MANY US supporters know enough about football to be displeased. MAny US supporters are foreign born fans. MAny of those at that game were Brit ex pats too. steups
As I see it when Mancini pulled him off, he showed Balotelli up but left Balo with no room to make amends. By calling him to the sideline Mancini could have publicly reprimanded him but left the onus on Balotelli to redeem himself.
Yes Bakes they are trying to sell a product but the US crowd is accustomed to the T.O's and Ochocincos.
Mancini's concern should be that he has at least 40 games that matter and that he needs to have all his strikers focused. Balotelli was playing well, having fun and relaxed and Mancini needed to recognize that and turn it to his advantage. He is dealing with a professional who is a child and he needs to turn that child into man and admonishing that child isn't always the best solution.
What advantage??!! ???
Using Balotelli's puerile behavior and making him responsible for it would be an advantage to the coach, not so?
I'm ok with Mancini's rationale as was quoted in the piece posted by Toppa - i.e. serious and professional... Whether you agree with his methods or not, if that's how the manager is running his shop, that's how he's running his shop - punto final.I don't think most of us here has an issue with flair, creativity, trying moves etc. in fact that's what makes it the beautiful game. Also part of separating your self from the rest is the ability you use sound judgement. The team is working to score a goal then you reach inside the 6 yard box and pull that? If he made a genuine effort to shot and it went wide or overbars, then that's a different story but it looked like he had the attitude of "this too easy, lemme try someting here" and the attempt failed miserably.
The whole disrespect angle (discussed in this thread), while there is some overlap between it and professionalism, its focus is being overplayed in my opinion. Showboating always walks a fine line between individual expression and disrespect, but it's always been part of the game- especially in our culture...we celebrate players with flair- when Ronaldinho used to isolate a defenders by the corner flag, stand up and waits for them to step up, and proceed to rest dong an unnecessarily elaborate piece o' beat on him (spanner, step over, drag...whatever), yuh think that's a sign of sportmanship and respect? ...since when we get sosensitive?

For sake of the arguement what if T&T was playing Antigua in a "friendly" and we're up 1-0 and a player like Stern got the same chance, did the same thing as Bolotelli and missed and the game resulted 1-1. I wonder what we would say on this board?
This is getting ridiculous now! Sell him because he try to do a backheel?

The man do that, right away he put he hand up and everybody start riding the man. Dzeko start first and start getting orn like ah lil sissy cause he open. But dzeko get rid of he competition for position.
Judging from the body language he definitely knew the play had been stopped. It look like any number of casual moves you see strikers do with the ball when the play is called back. Just my view.

Bakes you talking convienently now. I will use Man United again, they score 7, Rooney had a hatrick and eh do any celebrating because as you say "they promoting they brand". Stueps.

I haven't the faintest f**king clue what you're talking about... or how it relates to anything I saying here. You trying to equate ManU playing hard to the end and perhaps taking the game too seriously (by not letting up off the gas) to Balotelli f**king around on the field?
At the end of the day ManU, love them or hate them is a team of professionals and they not in the same boat as City, so they don't need to worry about rep as much as City does... ManU already own the US market in terms of sales and notoriety while City hoping to get a foot in the door. If this was a ManU player he was getting same lambaste by me. I can't speak for what anyone else, media or otherwise will do. If you and DeSoWa upset with the media reaction then maybe allyuh should take allyuh beef to them?
Good game between City and Inter, playing for the Dublin Cup in Ireland. The commentator used what is perhaps the second most appropriate adjective to describe Balotelli... "casual... co casual." The most appropriate of course is "frustrating"... which he also used in the same sentence, lol

Yeah but I find that was unwarranted.....like the commentator was just waiting fuh a chance to say something. Balotelli was/is having a great game. End up scoring the first goal just before the half. Involved in all the attacks. Dangerous on the ball..and the first time he make a hang man pass giving the defender half a chance at the ball de man say how he "casual, casual and must frustarate his teamates" jess so.
Ah could see whey man does say the noise is only because is Ballotelli. This time.

Mancini says that Balotelli won't play again this season and would most likely be sold in summer. What exactly is this kid's crime? :bs: :bs:
Mancini says that Balotelli won't play again this season and would most likely be sold in summer. What exactly is this kid's crime? :bs: :bs:
Balotelli won't play again because of disciplinary reasons, namely 4 red cards... he's facing a lengthy suspension that has nothing to do with Mancini. As for him being sold in the summer, I personally have no issue with it, it has nothing to do with "crime"... be brings a lot of unnecessary and unwanted attention to himself and the club and truth is, they have other options, if they can make a profit then they should.
As for the commentators being on his case... that's nonsense. One or two here and there would bash him, but most describe him for what he is... a character. All recognize that he's talented, but most are honest when they say he's controversial, mercurial, 'mad cap' etc.
Why are they always on Ballotelli's case? Listening to them you'd think that Manchester City's problems lay with him. His tackles in today's game were over zealous but none were malicious. How many times has Rooney made malicious tackles? How many times has Joey Barton been arrested? Has he like Barton ever assaulted a teammate? Has he like Tevez ever refused to play?
Ballotelli may be immature but the tone and tenor with which they speak of him is downright disgusting. One idiot on Fox even alluded that he had that glare in his eyes that would make him cross the street....I wonder if that was code for big scary black man....how man times have we seen Terry glare at people but I guess he is different.

All that talk is :bs: Bakes, to much "holier than thou" crap from everyone. Everything the man do is scrutinized, he score, well he didn't celebrate, he score, he celebrate too much. He eh score he lazy, he score he greedy and doh pass the ball. F@*King :bs: Rooney get away with murder and tell AF to piss off and no one bat an eye but anything, anything Ballotelli does is ah problem.
I accept that the kid is immature and is a character but the comments being hurled at him are completely unnecessary ...the fox guys are in a studio watching the game and they are saying his teammates are avoiding making eye contact like they are down on the f**king field. I'm watching him as a forward and I've seen Drogba and Rooney make the same type of tackles where their team is down and they are trying to pick it up.
Yuh could swear that the man kill priest.

Balotelli is an ass plain and simple. A blind man could see that he was going to get a red card today. I'm sure the ref saw his tackle on Song at half time so he was watching Balotelli closely. Mancini failed the team by not taking him off and Balotelli failed himself by not making any potentially reckless challenges. A pardna of mine describe him as being like Tyson. He lacks insight or the ability to be introspective.

I am not picking up for Baloteli because he is a black man. I never even noticed. On a serious note, De man is not a boxer who is always brawling in de streets for fun. If ah man bun down he house who fackin business is dat? If he crash he bentley why does dat concern dem? He is a kid and kids do childish things but celebritiy-ism invites dat shit and applauds it as well. I actually think he is playing the cult hero game correct if your gonna play dat game. So balotelli crash a Lamborghini next and let me see all dem backside who cant afford one get upset that he can treat such a prized possession like is nothing. Dat is what does hurt dem de most. Allyuh need to stop picking up for dem dam english commentators. Blasted American commentators in MLS does be talking bout Balotelli. He not even in their league! Allyuh good oui.

Lol... so let me see if I get yuh right:
1. He "bun down he house"
2. Crash he Bentley
3. Is a celebrity who acts like a kid and does "childish things"
...and you seriously don't think any of that should be considered "controversial" behavior... or deserving of criticism?
Okay. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. And then yuh have de cheek to mention Terry and "Suaraz"... Suarez had three incidents to he name: a) Racism charge (he get ah 8-game ban); b) Refuse to shake Evra hand (he get roundly denounced by everybody, including management); c) He show Spurs fans the finger (he get a 1-game suspension). Other than that some ah dem same commentators allyuh bitching about does be on he case for going down too easy or for kicking wild in the box. What else yuh want dem to get on Suarez case for?
And Terry?? What Terry doing to merit headlines? I happen to like Balo, ever since he Inter days. At the end of the day the man bringing the talk on heself... if he want to play the impish clown prince then nobody cyah be complaining when biggest spotlight in the three-ring circus that is English tabloid journalism end up on him.
So they not? i take it allyuh don't believe in "WHITE" privilege? and all the way from trinidad too. so allyuh not really familiar with how things works in the outside world, particularly europe ? well if that's the case then i'm here to say that the things ah white boy could do and get away wid, more than likely, ah black boy would not be able too.So u guys saying that the commentators picking on him cause he Black?Thank you!

Ah wasn't even goin' and comment on this thread 'til tonight, but ah change meh mind and now allyuh go make meh late fuh de pepople dem wuk....I believe Balo have some issues. I will go to meh grave sayin' it again: knowing dem italians as I do having worked around them, (especially the arrogant, mob-affiliated, spoilt, uneducated lil brats it have runnin' round in nyc) I can only imagine what he must have gone through growing up in italy....I could be wrong, but I'll die wrong and I think whatever issues he has, revolves aroung his whole situation in his upbringing. That said, I think the scrutiny and overly undue criticism he receives in the media, does not help him any more than his critics say his own antics don't either. To me, most of the "outrageous" things he has done, just boils down to immaturity.
Ok, so he was caught speeding with 5000 pounds cash in his possession and the media made a big deal out of his response to the cop when asked why he had so much cash on him. The cop got the answer he dam well deserved!
So what if he was speeding? That IS one offence the British media have a lust for reporting every time aone of them footballers get caught. Everybody all around the world speeds.
Men say he nearly "bun down he house"....he didn't. he was playing with fireworks, something that little boys and grown men all around the world do. Yes he might have ben a little careless with the fireworks, I don't know, I wasn't there. A fire in a room got a little out of control. The house and its foundation is still intact. Nor do I think he had to move out for repairs. I nearly "bun dong my house" once when I was small playin' with fire and the waste paper basket ketch right under d curtains in d bedroom....lix in meh ass. If he ded it playing with gasoline in the house, I would say it was a big problem
He got "caught" wearing an AC Milan jersey on a television show. I watched the video....it looked like some kinda prank/dare/joke thing going on and he played along. Big f**kin' deal!! men does leave Barca and go and play fuh Madrid, and vice versa. Leave one Milan team and go and play fuh the other. People need to get over that.
He crash de Inter coach press conference last week and yes, that was inappropriate and selfish and a little immature. It made for a good laugh.
He cheat on he gyul.........so have 90% of all men on this planet. I go wait until he bull he brother gyul, he teammate wife or something like dat before I call him out on his choices in sex partners.
He was trowin' darts at some yutes as a prank. Immature and foolish. Ah woulda blast him even more (no pun intended) if he wave a gun around and point it at somebody.
All dem offences dey, doh add up to much to me. He IS immature.....so he needs to be groomed some more with some good parenting and guidance from without....I will worry if he's doing the same things in 5 or more years.
People doh like his "attitude" on the pitch. He is petulant, he scowls and he plays joyless football.......I used to say the same about andy cole....he used to score plenty fuh manu, too, so his expression meant nothing after a while....to me. Allyuh ever watch how restrained metronaldo does be most times when his teammates score....as opposed to when HE score? He doh seem to like it too much. Who cares?
Balo have a disciplinary problem/record that stems from some of his tackles and sometimes from his.....reputation. So did Mikel for his first few seasons at Chelsea and so did Essien......they don't seem to have that problem anymore. They "matured". So did rooney....well...the jury still out on rooney because the same FA that is likely to come down on Balo for that "disgraceful" tackle on song, is the same FA that appealing for UEFA to lighten the sentence on rooney fuh ressin' a tackle on a man akin to the kick that totti put on Balotelli a few seasons ago. The same sentence that the british media blasted as being "harsh" while calling roony's tackle "wreckless". (I didn't hear jamie redknapp call it "disgraceful" though...but maybe he did and I didn't hear him.) stevie g up to a couple seasons ago, was always good for a few break-foot, potentially career-ending tackles like the one on song, per season. Nobody ever called it disgraceful. (and he like to fight in bars, too). I never heard commentators ever saying about rooney and his nasty behaviour on the pitch that he "can't be trusted". f**k, rooney couldn't be trusted either because if the refs weren't so lenient on him, he was getting sent off at least 5 times per season for his tackles AND for his dissent. Anybody want to argue that?
All this being said, it is obvious where I stand...I DO think they hammer the boy too much. You can hear it in their tone and with their choice of words and Mancini is no help either. He might need some tough love, he might even need some professional help, but it's open season on him and everybody taken their turns. Listening to redknapp and them, you would think that city's entire collapse was because of him. FOH!
I WILL defend him because he black ust like I am quite sure some of the harshness of his criticisms come from the fact that he is black. All who want to pretend we live in a fair and balanced society could come and still find the streets of nyc paved in gold.
It was good to see that the ONLY media person that offered a balanced view was....the black man on sky sports. He asked the newspaper guy if he thinks all the criticism is fair and he even pointed out that city's recent implosion coincided with Tevez' return.
It was ALSO nice to see that the one man that tried to come to his defence of that second yellow, was the man he was goin' and fight with over the free-kick.
jamie redknapp saw nothing wrong with any of his tackles outside of the one he put on song (the same kinda tackle that pepe put on alves) but he also saw it fit to see nothing wrong with sagna tryin' all game long to earn Balotelli a card with EVERY tackle he put in. THAT was disgraceful.
But Bakes ah didnt mention Terry or Suarez. Dat must have been the other guy. ;D
I would admit as you put it that his behavior is controversial and you were talking about the behavior and how negative imapct on the club and all of dat. all of dat I agree with. Im saying that they cant make de man to be the "every thing bad about football / life fall guy" This is my only argument.
Great post bredda!!!!!So u guys saying that the commentators picking on him cause he Black?Thank you!

"I don't trust Mario. No-one trusts Mario," said Mancini.
"He is a top player. He can do everything. He can score two goals against Arsenal next week. But he can also take a red card.
"Until now he did well and in the last eight games he could be important for us. But trust him? Never."
So what the point of the thread is, alyuh agree the man is a trouble maker, but alyuh doh like how media does pick on him? Supposedly because he black ?
Ah trying to understand the logic going on here.

I think the point is that he is just an imps, not some season-wrecking team poison and the press making it seem like he is the reason city is 8 points off the pace. He is now the T.O. of the EPL.
When he had the tackle on Song, I was one who thought he should come off, but in reality, he lasted the entire game. The 2nd yellow was in the 90th on a soft call.
Balo is a big reason City fell apart the second half of the season. Full stop.
I doh care what Balotelli choses tuh do off the football field. But some of the shit he does do on the field just annoying and sometimes selfish. And it takes away from the positive things he does bring to the field. I have similar feelings when I watched Rooney doing some of the same selfish things on the field. It annoyed me no arse and like Balotelli, I felt he was a liability on the field. Because neither of them at times, choose tuh practise self control but instead would catch a vaps and just roll with it. Both of dem can be rell imps on the field depending on which side of the bed they wake up on.
Rooney did this shit for years (16 or 17 years old-kicked down Ronaldo after Ronaldo embarrassed him with a beats), and it has only been this year, he seems tuh be making a better effort to control himself. Balotelli hopefully will not take as many years tuh make better decisions on the field.

Balotelli has a few things against him
He's a black Italian playing in Italy
He's immature
He's EXTREMELY good
Wayne Rooney does much worse on the field of play
He's white and English
He's very good.
Balotelli always in trouble and there's a decided media campaign to target him
Wayne Rooney and others of his ilk.....the Joey Barton's, Steven Gerard's etc.....just make "enthusiastic" tackles.
It was the same with Alan Shearer. And it not changing anytime soon.

...and since you think they both have basically been guilty of the same crimes, (being distractions to their respective teams) do you think the media has been as even handed in the way they have reported both of their transgressions?

What has Ballotelli done on the field that is SO bad. Hustle and try to tackle?

I think the problem with Balotelli and the media is his manager. He has a manager who throws kerosene on the fire by making statements about Balotelli that he should be making in house. He does nothing to downplay some of the behaviors he may not like and the media eats that up. Fergie and the other hand will not say what he really wants to say about Rooney in the media. He would make a statement and the media will focus on his statement. The media has taken Rooney to task about his behaviors but Balotelli is the new poster boy for headlines.
While people continue to make excuses, THIS is the reality....
Balotelli facing nine-match ban
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1047291/man-city%27s-mario-balotelli-facing-nine-match-ban-if-charged-by-fa?campaign=rss&source=soccernet&cc=3888
By Dale Johnson
Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is set to receive a nine-match ban if he is charged by the Football Association for his tackle on Alex Song in Sunday's Premier League clash at Arsenal.
Balotelli, 21, will automatically serve a one-match ban for the red card he was shown after being twice booked for challenges on Bacary Sagna.
Football Association disciplinary rules also state that "players dismissed having previously in the same season been sent off (or suspended under the Standard Directions set out in Schedule A in these Regulations for an incident), will be suspended for one extra match for each such previous sending off or suspension, in addition to the automatic suspension applicable to the dismissal".
As seen earlier this season, Vincent Kompany received a four-game ban after being dismissed against Manchester United in the FA Cup as it was his second red of the season. The same punishment was handed out to Balotelli too when his standard three-game ban for the stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker was upped to four due to a previous red.
Balotelli was sent off against Liverpool before the turn of the year and because of the ban for the incident with Parker, he will receive an additional two-match ban - leading to a three-game punishment for his red card at the Emirates.
If the striker is charged with violent conduct for his tackle on Song early in the game, that carries a mandatory three-match ban itself - taking him up to a six-game suspension.
Balotelli will then have a further three games added to the ban again due to his other red cards and suspensions - the Liverpool red, the Parker charge and the dismissal at Arsenal.
That means the Italian will potentially miss nine matches, ruling him out for the rest of this season and the first three games of next season - if he is still playing in the Premier League.
The red card at Arsenal contributes three of the games, and the charge for the stamp would constitute the other six. Of the nine games, five are due to the red card "totting up" rule.
With the other bans he has had this term that will equal a total suspension of 14 matches - over a third of a season.
While people continue to make excuses, THIS is the reality....

Well, it must have been the British print media that was takin' rooney to task because I don't ever recall any commentator, any football pundit or any colour or post-game analyst using the same tone, the same language or choice of words to describe rooney's behaviour. In fact, your point suports what some of us are saying. How come it wasn't big news in the 2004 Olympics when metronaldo gave an Iraqi player a nsty and totally unnecessary elbow to the face that left the player in a bloody mess? Here is a kid that couldn't go on vacation in America without a thousand cameras following him but I bet half his own fans didn't hear about that. Listen, Giggsy, fergie could have only "protected" rooney but so much from the media if they wanted to vilify him and condemn him for his actions the same way they do with Balo. I never heard any analyst say after a game, that joey barton should be kicked out of football for good, especially when he has committed some atrocities that warranted a lifetime ban. Barton was at the height of his worst behaviour (on and off the field) in his mid friggin twenties and look hummuch bligh he get. Balotelli is 21 years old and people tryin' to nail d boy up on a crucifix. It doesn't take mancini to say like fergie used to that "he's young". Shit, even the Montenegran player who get de hard boots from rooney the other day agreed to try and help with his defense/appeal.....how old rooney is now?
Rooney does do he sh*t...and so do many others, but Balo is a different level of headcase - he more petulant than all dem fellas...lewwe be honest nuh. Rooney doh be fighting with his own players on the field so, for e.g...
Everybody knows that the media will blow things out of proportion - for some more than for others - but lewwe not act like Balo is in the controversial headlines purely on the basis of media hype... The guy is presha - personally I find him entertaining. The game always needs a "bad boy" to shake things up. Funny thing is aside from his antics, the guy is a pretty good baller - very good technique on his shot.
Mario hadda realise....he stunting what he could be.
Tings so bad..during half time..de man down injured..de whole team pass him straight while de physio dealing with him. Not even a pass to see how he going. I was pleasantly suprised when Kolarouv was trying to reason with the ref...de second card wasnt that bad.
He giving people fodder to attack him with. And dahs de problem.
Alyuh reminding me of Ribbit on the Trayvon Martin thread, where he blame Trayvon for getting himself killed. SMDH

Unnecessary drama could be avoided. Things like the accident which wasnt his fault understandable. But things which he could avoid by recognizing "Aye...I under scrutiny.....let me make sure and be careful" would do a lot for him.
Thankfully he not going and get the 9 match ban.

Delusional Chelsea fans again...
OK Balo the FA decided not to take any action against you. Good (rightly or wrongly)! Now get on with your football and show everyone the class player you are.
On another note, I believe the FA took this stance more to protect their officials, many of whom have come under very heavy criticism in the last few weeks. Lets face it we have seen some appalling decisions in the last few games.
elan, how long have you been seeing balotelli?
For all you hypocrites, what was worst than this in the history of the League. Yet you all sang OOh AAh Cantona.

Kicker, I totally agree with you that he mad no ras....but I doh get the vibe that there is a widespread accepance or acknowledgement of this as there seems to be a widespread open season on Balo. Just on this forum alone, the focus was on Alves fakin' more than the kick he pelt (which was practically identical to balotelli own) and the other day when he mash Messi hand even you and all try to deflect the focus to Messi overreacting. :laugh:. Ah mean, Imagine a nex' mad, wild one like nigel de jong want to be (publicly) goin' in on Balotelli.Mango - Pepe mad no ras...

Sorry, but Pepe is protected by his affiliation to Real Madrid. ManCity just doesn't have swag like that. ;)
:laugh: "The Anointed Ones"......with "swag". :laugh: Doh wory, Bayern Munich go swag allyuh ass all d way back to the Bernabeau!
Lol Elan you are something else..Rooney has not been booked this season for United , not a card .. yea he is a hot tempered player and has a past of rash tackles but your obsessive nature on Wazza is truly hilarious...you are a sad sad human..I cant imagine anyone enjoying your company you bitter twat..I'm surprised your not a City fan

Yuh have yuh point, but the bigger problem with your approach is that you, like plenty here, just willing to give Balotelli a free pass for his indiscretions because of a perceived racist agenda.
Imagine men argument here is "Look at the shit Rooney did.. Look at the shit Cantona did.. Is because Balotelli black is a bigger scene." And allyuh totally lost sight of the simple fact that Balotelli doing shit. And i not even talking about all the sundries off the field, i talking about the shit he doing within a football context, on the field and within his team.
At the end of the day that mentality doh advance nobody purpose, because all it does is try to shift the blame somewhere else from where it belong. When all is said and done and Balotelli foraging the lower half of Serie A with a Siena or Catania, trying for one last comeback and hoping someone take a chance on him INSTEAD of being one of the best players in the world he will regret forking up when he had his time in the sun.. It is a familiar storyline.
I can admit that I care more about Balotelli because he is a black man I would like to see succeed against all the odds.. But my problem is not how he behaving as a black man, my problem is how he behaving as a professional footballer and the fact that he is putting his career at risk.
It have plenty other players i used to like and i thought was insanely talented but just had a screw loose and never realize their potential. Off the top of my head, Antonio Cassano, Adriano, Faustino Asprilla, Ricardo Quaresma, Laurent Robert, Djalminha, Adrian Mutu.. I never cared whether these men black, white, blue or green, if is one thing i hate is to see talent got to waste. These is men i wish had settle down and put in the hard work necessary to be a top professional.
That is where i see Balotelli going if he don't get his act together. Another name we used to talk about as someone who coulda be great.. Coulda...
YOu cannot show me - none of you - what Ballotelli does as a FOOTBALLER that makes him the worst thing in football.
Allyuh think the british bad, allyuh shoulda hear eric wynalda yesterday taking ah big dig out of balotelli like balo break in house and rape he wife and daughter. real vemon dread, and it have man taking bout we only supporting balo bc he black, but they not seeing the so called "professionals" who hatin on the man on the air just bc he's black.
i not wearing no fackin blinkers nah, bc i dun know that this is ah "white is right" world, and we who eh white have tuh be on our best behavior just to be considered civilized.
right now, all these ppl trying tuh say is dat balotelli should know his place, and eat his biscuit and shut it, bc he's not ah white boy, and it's only white boys who could act up like this and get away wid it.
i don't know how men on here who not white could go along wid fellas like wynalda and dem, when dem fella only agenda is tuh push american players.
it have fellas who livin in trinidad and never live in no whiteman country, or worst yet, never even interact with white ppl tuh see how unfair some of these ppl could be, but they want tuh tell folks who living the experience about how tuh think.
ah dun know it have men who coming tuh tell meh ah racist for the millionth time, just bc i speak meh mind/ the truth. but fack dem and the horse oui!
Yuh have yuh point, but the bigger problem with your approach is that you, like plenty here, just willing to give Balotelli a free pass for his indiscretions because of a perceived racist agenda.

You is ah rel apologist Dinho, yuh wudda fit in de big house just fine.
Is because Ballotelli black.
YOu cannot show me - none of you - what Ballotelli does as a FOOTBALLER that makes him the worst thing in football.
Don't hide and say some, is me who comparing him to Rooney every time and just like yuh lil wannabe friend Small Mag, alyuh making excuses for some but not the other.
You drinkin mad oil or what?? that is not my quote, you have the wrong poster fella!
YOu cannot show me - none of you - what Ballotelli does as a FOOTBALLER that makes him the worst thing in football.
Is this a serious question that needs a reply? No one says hes the worst thing on a football pitch, but his attitude on it is pathetic. FULL STOP. Dont compare him to others, or play the race card. Balo has a terrible attitude on the pitch and plays with a cynical venom at times. End of.
Omar, you need tuh go back and read my post. i not exonerating balotelli's ill bahavior and his on the field antics, as ah matter of fact, i did point it out in my initial post on page 19.Allyuh think the british bad, allyuh shoulda hear eric wynalda yesterday taking ah big dig out of balotelli like balo break in house and rape he wife and daughter. real vemon dread, and it have man taking bout we only supporting balo bc he black, but they not seeing the so called "professionals" who hatin on the man on the air just bc he's black.

Prandelli, look doh play de ass .... Balotelli hadda geh a pick. Sad thing, ah wonder how many Italians would come to his defense?
Its funny, I watched this interview with him after reading all of this stuff and he just looks like a shy kid.
http://www.youtube.com/v/zbY-JkdlpvA
Just cool seriously here talking about Eric f**king Wynalda? When did he turn British? or is read allyuh cyah read?
stueps... I done yes.
Prandelli, look doh play de ass .... Balotelli hadda geh a pick. Sad thing, ah wonder how many Italians would come to his defense?
The italian journalists were begging for him after the last Italy friendly and the coach didn't pick him cos Balotelli didn't call him to explain something or the other.
And after Italy played they were like 'Balotelli please, for the love of God, call him!!'

Kid look more damaged with a touch of immature alot more than asinine I would say. He look like he need a hug but if yuh could think of how rough that upbringing could have been, then not even a hug would do. I remember how hard creole speakers (predominately Haitians)had it in schools in Brooklyn(and they were among African Americans and other west indians) and breds dey have to fight everyday. Angry? Hell yeh de man Angry. So he damaged, angry, isolated, glorified, marooned, idolized and this doesn't even take into consideration if there was molestation. So yes, I do expect homie to be unorthodox and anything yuh get good at does come like second nature. In a world without baggage my whole reasoning would be biased. I'll say this, for what I imagine this fella's life to have been like, I think he didn't do too bad. We have players with less baggage locally that wreck early and Talent 4 days same way. At least Balo have de discipline to train hard and be a top athlete.
Bro, all europeans are weary of strangers who don't look like them. you must remember that italy never got involved with the slave trade (not that they didn't wanted too), and the only two colonies they had in africa lasted less than 20 yrs, so black people is something relatively new to modern italians,Kid look more damaged with a touch of immature alot more than asinine I would say.

This is exactly what I have been saying all along. Personally, I think italians can be some of the most (ironically) racist Europeans you can come across and from day one, I have wondered aloud what it must have been like for this young man growing up in Italy. And I only talkin' 'bout the italians living in NYC. Well said!!

but with that being said, there is some redeeming qualities that italians have over all the rest of european (not sure about american italians). when an italian gets to know you, they are wonderful wonderful ppl open and warm, and they make really good friends. and though they could be very racist, MO their racism is not as deep as the other european countries.

Italy is as bad as they come. justcool, the reason that "Italy" as a UNIFIED nation took no part in the slave trade was because they were not a country until 1861!!!
They were made up of Independent states but to say that Italian culture did not exist would be wrong.
Italians funded the slave trade too. They were however responsible for abolishing slavery in Eritrea and Ethiopia when they invaded there in 1935. Then Haile Selassie officially abolished slavery in 1942.
To say that Italains never participated in slavery is a huge error. Italy unified in 1861 did not but Italians surely did!
The market in human slave labor in southern Europe began as early as the 12th century. Initially the Spaniards were the key traffickers in human life, but as the Italian city-states grew, their demand for slaves also grew and they became one of the largest consumers of human slaves....Most slaves sold in Italy were Muslims from Spain, North Africa, Crete, the Balkans, and the Ottoman Empire."
Then for anyone to assume that Italians did not have much exposure to blacks as a reason why they are ot racists..why do they refer to Sicilians as God's white niggers?
People please remember that the Moors ruled the Iberian Peninsula for over 800 years!!! In fact to this day in Italy the term "Moor" is pejorative and racist. They also had quite a stronghold in what is modern Southern Italy, to this day Southern Italians are treated as second class citizens in their own country...why? They too dark, they too poor, they have too much Arab blood?
In my experience..the most racist people I have encountered here in the US happen to be Italians..and Southern Italians at that!
lol They really do seem to like him as someone mentioned earlier - his team-mates.Is that a hint of sarcasm i detect ?

No, his team-mates seem to like him just fine.
Where is zeppo after that cracking goal? i seems like he only post when balotelli is on the wrong side of the glory.
I'm sorry but I'm not impressed, he scored against a joke side (that I have the misfortune of supporting) who, with that goal, equalled the worst ever record at the Euros with 0 points and -8 goal difference...disgraceful.

meanwhile back at the ranch, reading the coaches comments, and i could be wrong, but he seems to be a. willing to take on the complexity that is balotelli and b. give him the criticism and leeway necessary for growth.
If we think Balos have problems now, wait till, like with Rooney, players learn to exploit his weaknesses. Now he's just kinda left to his own devices but they will start to work on him soon enough.

You may have a good point and the place where he will be most vulnerable to that would be at mancity where he plays most of course and where both his coach and teammates don't seem to like him as much as his Italian teammates and are much more on the ready to throw him under the bus. I really think he has some issues that really require professional help. Just my HO. I hope he gets it. The only good thing is, he doh have as many weaknesses as rooney to exploit. :D

Loved and attacked, Balotelli divides. But he's not conquering (yet)
Children here in Poland love Mario Balotelli. It must be the Premier League matches they see on television, or the child-like atmosphere, given all the students from elementary and middle school in Krakow present for training at the Municipal Stadium on Wednesday evening, who called his name from start to finish. It was quickly understood, once the Azzurri's flight landed in Krakow from Pisa, fresh from Coverciano: the children of the welcoming delegation at the airport all chanted his name: "Ma-rio, Ma-rio".
Everyone is talking about Balotelli in regard to the national team. Except that Mario is not always so successful in receiving verbal accolades. And journalists aren't the only ones to knock him for his behaviour on and off the pitch. It comes from his team-mates as well, on a regular basis and in thinly veiled tones. The latest jab came from De Rossi at the Azzurri's camp. Then from Thiago Motta and Marchisio. Followed by the lecture from Prandelli.

Agreed, a pic doesn't always do justice and who knows, he may have been instructed not perform the exercise due to injury. I just thought it was funny esp how he's under the microscope in everything he does.

bredda, i supportin juve and by extension italy since 96...i dont take any other ball more seriously than italian ball..ive gotten to know the runnings of things especially on the football side across there..
and trust me, gazetta is a shit paper and italians dont view it with any significance...more of a 'there goes gazetta again and their shit again..."..its surprising that its not part of berlusconi's empire...
Yuh cyah tell me that not one person, editor or staff at the Gazetta dello Sport didn't raise an alarm before that cartoon make it to press...
Definitely an agenda here.
My thoughts excatly! Gazetta has been an outspoke newspaper on racism in both society and at football stadiums. However, I cannot believe that those responsible could allow this to be published.
Biatcheesssssss!!!!!!!!
Biatcheesssssss!!!!!!!!
Biatcheesssssss!!!!!!!!
x2.you rell extra dread:P
Yuh could see the joy among members of the Italian camp ... the images reflect that.

What are the odds of Mario Balotelli changing his name, much like Cassius Clay did years ago, sometime during his career?
I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

I AM a Spain fan and I fully expect them to win tomorrow's finalGoes to show how much you know bout today's football.
BUT
I'm also a Balotelli fan and I'll be quite happy if he is instrumental in winning the trophy. As a Milan fan, I'm also happy to see Andrea Pirlo stamping his class on the tournament.
Ideal situation for me is for Balo to score a hat trick and Spain to win 4-3. But even self....either team win...I happy. Both FULLY DESERVE to be in the final. They're the 2 best teams in the tournament. May the best team win.

first off, no one cyar score 4 goals on italy, their defense is way too strong, and no one will score three goals on spain either, 2nd best defense in the world after the azzuri boys.
so either expect penalty kicks or a narrow win, no more than 2-0 or 2-1, spain will also foul the hell out of balotelli, don't expect him to start tomorrow, @ least i won't if i was the coach.
According to Balo, he feels abandoned by his birth parents...reason 1 to be an angry young man.
Reason 2. Imagine how cruel children can be, then imagine being teased in school...black boy in white family.
Reason 3. Italy is a racist f**king place, VERY!!! Imagine de hell he ketch...f**k dem all Balo..eat ah food today!
That said I find Spain does play de best ball in ALL of Europe...and dais my team.
Arsenal and Spain play de best looking ball.
All of a sudden everybody is a Balotelli fan.. ::) ::) ::)
Well as one of his biggest critics on this site I'll be rooting for him on Sunday, just as I always do (except when he plays against my team/s). Still not a fan though.
Bourbon yuh post dat long-ass article to tell we what we already know... that yute have issues.
jokes... jokes....According to Balo, he feels abandoned by his birth parents...reason 1 to be an angry young man.

Everybody is racist according to you. I used to think the same thing based on what I see in the media and based on what I know of Italian-Americans (not realizing how different a breed they are from actual Italians). It wasn't until I spend some time in Italy for myself that I realized that Italians are like everybody else, there's good and bad in every country.

Goes to show how much you eh understand what you read.
Where the man says the score will be 4-3 or even 1-0?
The man says he is both a fan of Spain and Balo and Pirlo.
SO he wants Balo to score a hat trick and still have Spain win...how de f**k Spain go win if Balo score a hat trick? They need to score 4 or more yuh beh-beh.
Shows why you is a duffer and unskilled laborer in New York and not a facking coach, you could not even coach the Blind Institute if they field a team in a tournament with one legged players.

Nah man true. Just cool is good peeps man. Sometimes he lil hyper and sometimes wrong and strong...but all a we does have we days too :)
All the man dem who talking bout italy more racist than spain, never went no fackin way near europe. i saw eto cry in spain, i want tuh believe that is one of the reason that he left there, apart from winning every thing else in spain, so maybe he wanted a new challenge, but if spain was racist, enough for him to leave, the question iz, why did he go to italy?Bro, i never said that there wasn't any black spanish players, just read the red bold part! and i never said that italy was more moderate than spain, i specifically implied that italy was no more racist than spain, as a matter of fact they are all in the same boat, but @ least there much more leftist activist italians than meat and spuds spain.
yes italy is racist, but one thing bout the italians, they have ppl who are moderates and well to the left, so it balances out, but in spain iz just meat and potatoe in yuh rass, just ask the hispanics who livin there.
i still waiting to see ah mexican, a costarican or a columbian playing for spain, let alone ah n***er!!! and i hear someone said that there was a black dude who played for spain, but he musta been as black as trezeget! bc i never saw him, maybe i miss something.

Mario Balotelli
Mario Balotelli exit planned by Manchester City for a fortnight
• Decision to sell striker made after training ground fight
• Roberto Mancini lost patience after heart-to-heart talk
Share 33

The Guardian, Tuesday 29 January 2013 23.23 GMT
Link to video: Mario Balotelli is Milan-bound but still loved at City, says Roberto Mancini
Mario Balotelli will fly to Milan on Wednesday to complete his transfer from Manchester City as new details emerge of why Roberto Mancini decided it was futile to continue believing the striker would stop letting him down.
Mancini's patience finally snapped because of the events leading to the late and dangerous challenge on Scott Sinclair that led to the embarrassing series of photographs showing City's manager grappling with Balotelli at the club's training ground on 3 January.
Twenty-five minutes before that training session, Mancini had summoned Balotelli for a heart-to-heart in which he tried to convince the player that he still believed in him and was certain he could be one of the key players in a successful title defence. "This is your chance – don't waste it," he told the Italy international.
What followed was so reckless that it convinced Mancini he was fighting a lost cause and that the colleagues who had advised him to give up on Balotelli were correct. His anger was evident for all to see in the pictures of the flashpoint.
Mancini still has strong reservations about letting Balotelli go without having a replacement lined up, preferring an end-of-season deal rather than leaving City with only three established strikers. Privately, however, he had accepted a club with City's ambitions could no longer afford to carry someone so unpredictable.
The only reason he had said he wanted to give Balotelli another chance, or "100 more chances", was an old managerial trick based on City being aware that advertising he was available would drive down the transfer fee. Behind the scenes, all the relevant people have been making plans for his departure for the past fortnight. It is understood the transfer to Milan is worth £17m, rising to £19.5m depending on how Balotelli does at San Siro.
Mancini, it has also emerged, had told Balotelli that he should think about changing the company he was keeping in his social life. Mancini did not think it was so bad when his own son, Andrea, lived in Manchester but the nature of Balotelli's hangers-on has increasingly become a concern. He had also told the player he should travel to Italy to spend time with his baby girl as part of leading a more grown-up lifestyle. To Mancini's dismay, he came away believing the 22-year-old was not particularly willing to listen to his advice.
Until 3 January, however, Mancini had been willing to forgive Balotelli for his erratic form and recurring ability to attract headlines for the wrong reasons, retaining his faith in the striker despite him playing an increasingly peripheral part this season, with only one Premier League goal.
Elsewhere, there has been a feeling behind the scenes at City for over a year now that the club would be better off off-loading someone who was underperforming so regularly and bringing in a superior replacement. Mancini is an admirer of the Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and a summer move is possible.
Hope next time Balo play Roma he drop some serious kick on Toti as payback for the kick down he res on him. It will make him going back to Serie A worth it jus for dat!
Only good can come from this. I'll be attentive to Clarence Seedorf's opinion on the matter.
Stueps lock this thread nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Berlusconi family have some serious Neurons missing. People with plenty money & no brain are a deadly combination.
Is barely a week! Jeezan!
Mario needs to stop thinking/believing that everybody has his best interest in mind, no matter what they say or who they are. Before they burn him. I heard him speak during his press conference, and was pleasantly surprised at how assertive, and straight forward he was with his responses, when responding to questions from the press.

You only now seein' dat?! Man, Balo is a man does remind me of Mike Tyson in dem interviews and press conferences....he comes across very sincere and assertive...speaks his mind....in some ways, still innocent like a child...he like dat long time...The thing is, he seems like a player that needs to feel wanted/needed in order for him to see out his potential. Mancini, for all the love he claim he love the boy, was a constant figure of castigation and humiliation for every perceived "crime" the boy commit and that could not have made for a healthy long-term environment for Balo. Left up to me, Balo was starting every game at the season's start after having performed so well in the Euros...mancini play de ass and was playing games with him....to me, that was a huge mistake in handling him. the rest was history as it unfurled...We shall see how things turn out in Milan, but them comments from dat jackass don't provide for too much of a good start. At least, not off the field.
Balotelli's troubles off the pitch have always been overstated in my view. He's a little eccentric and weird but not really objectionable. On the field however he loses his mind and too easily riled up. I suppose you can't separate the two altogether and this situation is evidence of that.
Balotelli is an anomaly for me. I normally don't give too much credibility to root cause arguments for shitty behaviour. I really don't like victim culture. But I keep getting a vibe that this is different. Not one of us can really understand what that man really through growing up in that country. It became a natural coping mechanism for him to never accept even the slightest bit of shit. For a man to say that so openly shows how embedded racism is in that country.

Have to agree. Though I personally not passing judgement, just because a jack ass, from a jack ass family, is a racist. Balo from a footballing stand point have to become better focused, he is way to easily put off his game.
Berlusconi family have some serious Neurons missing. People with plenty money & no brain are a deadly combination.Why isolate the berlusconi family to this behavior?? this is ah european mindset. from europe to alaska whitey think that niggers iz monkey, even right there in trinidad, but there's only ah few who would say it out loud.
JC good post dismissing their stereotype of blacks and I'm not here to sympathize, everything you said made sense to me but yuh killing me here with a few of yuh lines, I ain laugh so hard fuh de day nah :beermug:Berlusconi family have some serious Neurons missing.

this european does label every body. the chinese are dopey with big teeth and slanty eyes, yuh ever wonder why they say chinee gyul virjayjay twist side ways, yuh think is we trinis who invent that? got news for you, it's ah well known myth here in america.
everybody have ah negative stereotype from whitey. when i lived in regopark queens, the white ppl used to hate tuh ride the elevator with indians, finally i ask meh white girflren's brother and he told me it's bc they smell like garlic and they have head lice.
the whole monkey image that whitey put on the black race is simple, they think black people are ugly like apes and they are better looking in the face than us, they also use the ape stereotype to cast us as backward jungle people who when they found us, we lived in a primitive environment like wild monkeys, but the reality is, the rest of the races have more in common with moneys than black ppl.
primates have flat asses, black ppl are known for our big butts. primates are bow legged, black ppl are straight legged for the "most part", that's why we run so fast.
primates are hairy, the black race is a smooth race. primates have white skin under their fur with very thin, to no lips, haha. primates are clumsy, black ppl are coordinated and agile that's why we make the best dancers and athletes.
so in retrospect, we have nothing in common with apes except that we have rugged features, and some of us could be down right unattractive, i give whitey that, but the other races have more in common with apes than we could ever have.
PS: please allyuh doh start wid allyuh sympathizing bullsh!t eh, bc allyuh know that this is true.
Rooney is at least as bad as Balo. More importantly though Rooney is more consistent so he gets a pass and for the other reason.Balotelli's troubles off the pitch have always been overstated in my view.

I believe that will come wit htime...he is 22 now and with every passing year, is supposed to come the experiences and maturity to help him grow past his issues....I just think he needs assistance in getting past those issues and staying focused. I just don't think he is aware of the fact that he needs the help. Heck, I see rooney was back to his old ways, cussin' up the linesman yesterday near the game's end,that, to me, warranted at least a yellow card....for NO reason...Balo have time yet to grow as well.
Last night I watch the first half of the Milan derby. Fellas what ah f--king game. But I went to bed I was tired and maxed out on football lastnight. Yes Balo missed some goals. But not for the lack of trying. He was putting himself in position for these chances. He hard a free kick from about 20/25. The Inter keeper was spectacular. But the games was fast, toe-to-toe, SKILLFULL football. Something like Milan-Barsa. Inter could have score about 2. AC should have been 4 up. I can't sing more praises for Stephan Alsherawi. Oh, if Trini had a prospect like him. So far he is an unfinished gem. But I will hold more praises for now. He is only 19 or 20. It hard to believe Balo is on 22. If this guy was to channel is anger/passion a little more to the football. But who is me to know what he goes thru. But I can't wait to see the Juve/AC clash. If threr is one remaining. It appears that an Italian Renaissance is on the rebound. Italy appears to have an brooding talent pool at the moment.
Yuh think yuh riding balo ah lil too hard they coache, slow down before yuh get ah ticket for speedin nah.
Italy will win the world cup and Mario Balotelli will score the most goals.

According to Corriere della Sera, it stems from a "discussion" between the opposing keeper and him with the assistant ref ... they say the match report refers to the following question: "Che c... guardi? ... [quote, unquote]
My best guess is the missing word is "cosa" ... which means he asks (apparently the assistant) ... "what are you looking at?"

... Oh, and ... The new Italian government (as of this weekend) features an ophthalmologist of African descent in the Cabinet. Balo hailed her appointment. The fella ain't exactly a dunce.

Yep, GK was in about 6 minds. But was certainly a golazo, aso aso aso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To you fellas here who blame the GK....allyuh mad and insane.
To you fellas here who blame the GK....allyuh mad and insane.
Well that's your opinion. The keeper was staring at the shot the entire way yet didn't even make a move until very late. By then the ball was already past him. Not his fault I suppose... maybe it was the cement shoes and the sedatives in his system.

I think you're a tiny bit harsh (not 100% disagreeing) - you'd need a keeper with more experience and skill not to be fazed with such a shot.
It dipped cruelly. Thats what made the difference.

First off I never blame the keeper for the goal... I said he had to share in the blame. The other side of the coin is that it was a fantastic strike by Balotelli... nobody taking anything away from Balotelli, unlike what Elan and a couple others implying. If YOU self saying it look like the keeper thought it was going overbars then that is precisely why I blaming him and saying he could have done better. Even if he thought it was going overbars why didn't he at least track the ball and cover the goal all the same? Instead he try to play it off like he eh have to move for that it going high... then he see it start to dip. It was too late by then. So how is my assessment wrong?

WAH??? Bakes you need to leave the explanation for players. Track the ball? Anybody see Balo chip the ball? :rotfl: Don't get tie up eh. Watching from the stands and playing on the field is two different thing. It's not as far away as you think so no time really to do anything when the ball is struck that well.
As ah reading bakes comment i thinking de same thing, de keeper ent have no time to " track de ball and cover the goal" ... dat was ah flekin BULLET ... keeper eh have no time to even think far less move.
As ah reading bakes comment i thinking de same thing, de keeper ent have no time to " track de ball and cover the goal" ... dat was ah flekin BULLET ... keeper eh have no time to even think far less move.
So since I should leave de commenting to "players"... which teams both ah allyuh play for? "Track de ball" simply means move tpwards the direction of the flight of the ball.
Watch the reaction of the keeper at around :49... is like he transfixed by the shot, didn't even start to move until the shot start dipping.

Now watch Szczesny on Suarez' shot vs. Arsenal last week...
http://www.youtube.com/v/c0g1VyTpopI
Suarez bullet was even more ferocious than Balotelli's from just about the same distance, arriving even faster than Balotelli's shot. Szczesny was standing more or less in the same spot as the Bologna keeper... yet he had time react and dive in an attempt to make a save... but this keeper didn't have time to think? Allyuh is jokers yes.

Ray Hodgson: 5 keepers would not have saved that.
Christian Vieri: thought the keeper should have done better on the 35 meter strike.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen footage of a camera angle from behind the goal. HOWEVER, having replayed the available footage repeatedly on DVR ... minutes before posting this ... Curci's view was obscured momentarily b/c of the defender's position ... on a disguised shot generated with lots of power and visibly little backlift in real time (in slow motion the backlift is much more evident, but it was a snap strike off of 2 seemingly casual touches). Observe Curci and you'll notice that he's trying to get a visual of the ball ... (look at his hands and his posture) ... by the time the ball was well en route to the back of the net, it was too late for him to adjust. It's very difficult to definitively fault Curci on that strike.
Bakes playing with allyuh. As per quote. He blaming or not ? Who he sharing the blame with, Balo ? Should have Balo taken a better shot and Score ? How yuh sharing that blame, 50/50, 25.25/74.75 ? If is a fantastic strike by Balo, wouldn't the keeper have had to make a fantastic save to stop it, is he partly to blame for a non-fantastic save ? ;Dallyuh men love to blame goalies boy...no keeper was saving that.

Even if he thought it was going overbars why didn't he at least track the ball and cover the goal all the same? Instead he try to play it off like he eh have to move for that it going high... then he see it start to dip. It was too late by then. So how is my assessment wrong?
Ray Hodgudson: 5 keepers would not have saved that.
Christian Vieri: thought the keeper should have done better on the 35 meter strike.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen footage of a camera angle from behind the goal. HOWEVER, having replayed the available footage repeatedly on DVR ... minutes before posting this ... Curci's view was obscured momentarily b/c of the defender's position ... on a disguised shot generated with lots of power and visibly little backlift in real time (in slow motion the backlift is much more evident, but it was a snap strike off of 2 seemingly casual touches). Observe Curci and you'll notice that he's trying to get a visual of the ball ... (look at his hands and his posture) ... by the time the ball was well en route to the back of the net, it was too late for him to adjust. It's very difficult to definitively fault Curci on that strike.
Not about the same distance at all. Balo's was further from the goal line and wider.
It was obvious from the time Suarez struck the ball that it was low enough to be on frame, prompting the keeper to dive right away. Also from the way Suarez struck the ball (a hook motion, rather than Balo's swipe across the back of the ball) the goalie could much more easily tell where the ball was going.
Poor comparison all round.
Bakes playing with allyuh. As per quote. He blaming or not ? Who he sharing the blame with, Balo ? Should have Balo taken a better shot and Score ? How yuh sharing that blame, 50/50, 25.25/74.75 ? If is a fantastic strike by Balo, wouldn't the keeper have had to make a fantastic save to stop it, is he partly to blame for a non-fantastic save ? ;D
:applause: :D

Absolutely he sharing "blame" with Balotelli for the goal... is Balotelli score it, no?
It dipped... it didn't swerve. The dip of the ball doesn't explain why he didn't react to the flight of the ball despite watching it the entire way. Not saying he absolutely at fault because he didn't stop it... I'm saying he's partially at fault for not being in better position to make a play on the ball.

It looked to me like the keeper thought it was going overbars.
First off I never blame the keeper for the goal... I said he had to share in the blame.

Spend some time on a ball field.
Plus there was no way he could make the leap from his ready position, he had to adjust his feet first then jump.
And the keeper had a split second to react.
And making a backward leaping save has to be the hardest save to make.
Yet you want to mock the keeper for not doing better.
If the keeper had saved that it woulda been save of the year.

Why you doh hush yuh ass? What "ball field" you ever spend time on that make you some expert? You see me "mock" any keeper? To hear some ah allyuh talk yuh swear allyuh kick professional ball or something. The only person in here who opinion I giving any kinda credence is Richard G., even though I maintain my disagreement with him, at least he have the experience to back up what he saying unlike you and Preacher.
I think Tenor Saw might have something to say about that.

Here is exactly what Rahman said about the appearance of the passengers on the stolen passports.
“It is confirmed now that they are not Asian looking men,” he said.
A reporter asked Rahman to say “roughly” what they looked like. He replied “Do you know a footballer by the name of Balotelli [using an approximate pronunciation of the name]”.
Reporters shouted the the name Balotelli, pronouncing the name footballer’s name correctly. Rahman corrected his initially pronunciation, and said: “Balotelli, yes”.
He added that the nationality of the men could not be confirmed.

If anybody cop the Zlatan autobiography that Balotelli is reading above you would have noted Zlatan tells a quick story about his run in with a T&T national. It was before he signed pro papers with Malmo and the fella is most certainly Nakhid by my reckoning. He got some tough advice which almost certainly played a part in his drive to succeed.
Here is the page on google preview.

Mario Balotelli: police investigate claim Liverpool striker confronted woman
Mario Balotelli is at the centre of an investigation by Greater Manchester police after allegedly confronting a woman who was taking photographs of his red Ferrari on Thursday.
The Liverpool striker was in Wythenshawe, apparently visiting his mother, Rose Barwuah, when the alleged incident with a local resident occurred. According to the woman he got “threateningly close” and demanded she stop.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester police said: “We are investigating a report of threatening behaviour following an incident in Pewsey Road, Wythenshawe.
“Officers will be speaking to all concerned in due course.”
Police sources said it was unlikely either party would be spoken to until tomorrow at the earliest.
A Liverpool spokesman said the club would not be commenting until all the facts had been established.
Balotelli was at the centre of controversy on Wednesday night when he swapped shirts with Real Madrid’s Pepe at half-time of Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat, angering his manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool’s Mario Balotelli faces no police charges over Ferrari row
Mario Balotelli will face no police action over reports he threatened a woman for taking pictures of his Ferrari.
Greater Manchester Police were called last Thursday “following reports of threatening behaviour” involving the Liverpool striker, who is understood to have been visiting his mother’s home.
But having spoken to the woman who made the initial call, officers found no reason to continue the investigation or speak to the Italy international.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police were called to Pewsey Road, Wythenshawe, just after 3pm on Thursday 23 October 2014, following reports of threatening behaviour.
“Officers have since spoken to the complainant and no criminal offences were disclosed and no crime recorded. No further action will be taken.”

Liverpool FC fan has new hero after Mario Balotelli singles him out at training
... “Jack was clapping him as he went to go in and Mario turned and waved. The next minute he came round the back of the goal, scooped up a ball and signed it, before passing it to Jack and then told him ‘you be good’.
“I said ‘thank you so much Mario’ and he turned round, put his thumb up and said ‘no problem’.”

Milan have inserted a number of good behaviour clauses into his loan contract, including restrictions over his haircut and general appearance.
Balotelli said he had no problem with the strict rules enforced by the coach, Sinisa Mihajlovic, and felt he owed his new manager a debt of gratitude. “I have been asked to tone down my look, to follow Milan’s style, and I will follow that without trouble,” he said. “I have had this haircut for a long time, I won’t take it too far.
Balotelli and Pirlo omitted from Italy’s Euro 2016 squad
Four years after his goals propelled Italy into the European Championship final, Mario Balotelli will not even get a chance to play in the 2016 tournament.
As expected, Balotelli was left out when the Italy coach Antonio Conte named a preliminary 30-man squad for Euro 2016 on Monday. On loan from Liverpool, Balotelli scored only one goal in 20 Serie A appearances for AC Milan this season.

The more surprising omission is Giovinco. Shocking actually. The fact that he said f**k off to Italian soccer and decided to play in MLS....a league that is looked upon with disdain by many iin Europe, is likely the main reason for his continued absence from the Italian National team....never mind he better than most of the players that have been selected
as usual, i hope they get they tail cut..nothing change.
I think Roberto Donnadoni made the Italian team after moving to the US ...
Balotelli opens his Nice account with two tantos. Speaks with his feet, and then for some reason decides to speak.
Calls 'Pool "the worst mistake of his life".
Also says: "“I had two coaches, Brendan Rodgers and Jürgen Klopp. As people they didn’t make a good impression on me. I didn’t get along with them.”
Finally some good news regarding racism in football or too lenient of a punishment (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/10/verona-fan-receives-five-year-stadium-ban-for-inciting-racism-of-mario-balotelli)?
All players that serious about racism should leave that league with their backward society.
