Balotelli's Attitude

[Chopper]

i'm not sure how anyone could have watched Balo's antics and not felt like he had a pretty good chance to get sent off based on how he was acting. This isn't hard stuff people:

The ref was being a cunt the entire match and showing a level of favoritism which was profound in the opinion of neutrals
Balo looked frustrated and got a cheap, shitty yellow quickly and was seen making a lunging tackle or two which is, in my experience with him, a sign that he's about to implode. he was angry at himself and he lashed out. It's what he fuclin does.
Scouse players were falling over and waving invisible cards all day long. Balo on a yellow wasn't going to suppress that, was it?

Are you fuclin cunts really that blind? jaysus fuck.

What lunging tackles are you talking about?

[Ted Hughes]

That's not what I'm saying you thick cunt. I didn't know that BEFORE HE CAME ON, I ONLY REALISED IT AFTER SEEING HIM ON THE PITCH. Pretty much as soon as he came on, he had that same look about him that he had last year when he threw a strop on several occasions. Jesus H christ, are you fucking senile ? How difficult can this be ? I'm typing fucking English I'm sure.

You don't get to decide what I can & can't post. And whilst I know I can often be over the top, if it was left to people like you to decide on what people can say, the board would be the equivalent of sucking on a Wetrhers Original whilst having a nice cup of tea, before the nurse put it to bed hoping it didn't piss it's self in it's sleep.

Oh, I didn't realize the sudden body language change in Mario as soon as he crossed the white line. Must have been pretty drastic though. I'm starting to think that by "body language" you may mean his first yellow card (when most people don't think of someone's actions when they talk of body language). Because when Mario was on the pitch, he was winning almost every ball in the air that came his way and tracking back quite a bit (with the exception of the 1st card).

And of course the old, tired argument of "If we can't spew absolute bullshit about player we hate, all we could talk about is smiles and rainbows!" Just because you can't imagine it, doesn't mean other people can carry on conversations that aren't of one extreme opinion or another.

I don't hate Balotelli, I think he's a great player, he's just too hot headed to be relied upon without backup as he's prone to making rash challenges & attracts the attention of referees. Some of you want to pretend that's not true but it is. I hope it doesn't ruin his career with City as he could become one of the best players in the world.

I know what I saw & I know what I've said. If you read it properly you will see that it's consistent

But to get back to the main argument (regardless of what you think about above) before it was derailed: Was it Mario's fault? No

Since when do you ignore a horrible ref and cheating opposition to blame your own player for a clumsy action? I've never seem it happen before unless you already hate your own player.

He got himself sent off, no one else made those challenges.

Why are you unable to just discuss it on a normal level without twisting people's words & motives ? You've had me repeating the same thing over & over because for some reason you refuse to accept what i'm actually saying & are substituting your own meaning. Now you're accusing people of hating the player just because they see in their opinion, some flaws in his personality. Why are you doing this ?

I never made you repeat your words or ever said that you hated Mario. If you want to be so pedantic: I actually said that in my experience, I've never seen a fan attack their own player when the opposition or the ref can be at fault unless they already hate their own player. Never said Ted Hughes hates Mario. Maybe you should "read what I've wrote" and quit twisting the meaning around.

One of the reasons that I posted that Bill O'Reilly video is because he routinely has a body language expert to analyze people and you keep getting bogged down into a "body language" discussion. It's a lot simpler than you argue; scouse were acting like normal and the ref enabled it. Mario was foolish enough to get caught in the middle, but shouldn't be blamed for what is mainly other people's dishonesty and incompetence.

the two that i saw him make. do you need me to point it out at specific times after watching a replay? did you really not see him do the things i'm talking about or are you just fucking about trying to prove a point with Ted?

[bigblue]

He got himself sent off, no one else made those challenges.

The ref sent him off, he didn't choose to give himself 2 yellow cards

[Chopper]

First London blue: he got himself sent off? No one else was making those tackles? And Milners yellow?

Back to you Teddy. A normal discussion doesn't involve name calling or lame devices like "do you understand English"

It's not the first time either.

Back on topic. Atkinsons record speaks for itself it wouldn't make balotelli a liability. As he was coming on he had 9 goals in 10 matches. I said at halftime that a City player was getting sent off not after the fact. Carolls tackle was an Immediate red, so was reinas but instead you target Balo instead of weighing the facts.

Shocking.

I didn't see any lunging tackles. Please show these examples.

Yep the ref did send him off. Fortunately ballotelli is not in the position to book himself, however he regularly acts like an idiot on the pitch and puts himself in the position to receive silly bookings. Yesterday was no different.

[london blue 2]

Fuck it anyway, agree to disagree.




You lot are wrong either way.

i cannot show you any examples...watch the match again or send me a link if you've got one online. It's less than 20 minutes of football. Sorry, since i'm not at home to replay it on the DVR dude.

[Chopper]

I'm watching it it Dvr as we speak. Im not seeing them.

I don't give a fuck about that. He was the one who 1st started throwing insults on this thread & I didn't even reply to it. That's none of your fucking business but seeing as you're being mister goody two shoes & sticking your fucking nose in, here are some of his replies to various people

'Good to see Roberto sticking up for him unlike cunts like yourself'

'It hard to debate an opinion thats on the same level as what a drunk crack-head yells out to you at 3am.'

And to me:

'I'd still blame the cunt with a gun you twat'

Do I mind him saying that ? Not at all. Do I mind you saying something similar ? Not at all. Feel free. Just please don't be such a sanctimonious git.

And you're taking the piss out of me for saying balo gave me the impression he was in the wrong frame of mind when he came on & I saw his body language but I'm supposed to take that & then accept you knew the ref was going to send somebody off ? So it's fine for you to make a judgement on someone's potential actions but I'm not up to it ? How pompous is that ?


If that was true (& i agree with you btw, the ref was a shithouse who had a red card in him, as I've said about ten times), prey tell, which Manchester City player in the whole squad would you nominate as most likely to get sent off on any given day ?

[DoomMerchant]

fantastic...lemme know when yr finished then.

cheers

[Chopper]

I have no interest in your exchanges with another poster. And to assume that "I'm sticking my nose in" is your own personal chip. As for the hard man routine it's laughable, doesnt impress anyone and weakens your position. Still doesn't justify your pallid insults and devices directed at me. Sanctimonious git? Look at yourself. You get down and dirty anytime you're challenged.

On topic asking me which player in the squad do I consider most likely to get sent off. De Jong. Which player yesterday was most likely? Any outfield player in Sky Blue. Who should have been dismissed? Carroll.

Sorry didn't see any lunging tackles by Balo, but that tackle by Carroll was shocking. Should have been sent off.

It's not the first time either.

That is you, sticking your nose in commenting on what I've said to another poster. It's only a few posts ago. I was replying to that, seeing as you were complaining about me handing out insults to said poster, I was showing you that he has been doing the same thing so there has no need for your assistance.

The fact that you can't remember posting this even though it's only a few posts ago, is alarming but explains why you kept misinterpreting my earlier posts. As for 'hardman' I haven't threatened anybody all I've done is use words.

Calling that 'hardman' is ridiculous.

So anyway, DeJong is our player most likely to get a red card ? Based on ? Nothing.

I think Mario is a fantastic talent, but he needs to be a lot wiser on the pitch. As I've said before, at the moment I see him as a C****a figure; a matchwinner who is a soft target for refs & opposing players on the wind up. Imo & Mancini's he needs to be careful about that.

De Jong has never ever been handed a red card in his career mate.
