Coming To Take Him Away Ha Ha!

[johnny crossan]

Mario Balotelli's agent has revealed that he would be prepared to take the striker away from Manchester City if he thought he was being persecuted against.

Ballotelli is facing a four-match ban after being hit with a Football Association charge of violent conduct following an apparent stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker in Sunday's 3-2 win.

And the Italian's agent, Mino Raiola, feels that there is a conspiracy against the forward.

He told Italian radio station Radio Radio: "Mario can't be banned for four games.

"He wasn't balanced and there was also a push from Modric.
Something strange

"It is not an intentional foul because Mario doesn't want to hurt anyone, he didn't see Parker, that's all.

"I want to be balanced but I'm worried because when English players are involved in more serious things, nothing happens, whereas when foreigners are involved, such as Balotelli or Kompany, they were treated harder.

"If I find that there is something strange against Balotelli, my duty is to protect and then take him away.

"In this case I would speak with City, I'd ask them Balotelli's price and would look for the best team for him, as there are only six or seven teams he can play for.

"I talked to Mario who said he is happy to stay in England, but he does not understand certain things and they sadden him."
Banned for life

Raiola also launched a scathing attack on referee Howard Webb, accusing him of lying to protect his own reputation.

He added: "The referee saw everything, because he spoke to Mario after the action.

"So in my opinion, this referee must be banned for life because he didn't tell the truth.

"The TV images show that he is really close to the action, how can he say he didn't see it?

"What was he doing? He says he didn't see it, only to defend himself."

Send that to the FA.

A fucking italian agent can see what happens when it comes to the fa.

Its because its that fucking obvious.

[Ted Hughes]

It's ridiculous to talk like that but he does have a point about Modric making contact. Because of that, there is no way the FA can possibly be sure it was intentional, yet they are going to punish him anyway because the media have decided they think he's guilty.

It's not right but to spit your dummy out & leave because of it would be pathetic.

[dave watson's perm]

City have to appeal this even if they lose or not. If Webb spoke to MB after the "incident" surely he is making a liar of himself??

It's not spitting your dummy out when you're getting every minor call against you, it's clear victimisation and if you're a footballer who can ply his trade at any of the big clubs then yoo have a choice. Would you sit around knowing that you maybe playing one game and out the next because of disciplinary action, knowing you'd done nothing wrong?

He's an easy target and as such the powers that be are trying to teach him a lesson, bring him in line, as they say but that ain't Mario. He wants to play, and in his own way. If he's not allowed do that here then I'm sure one of the other top leagues will allow him.

Agree with you Beefy. Mario is targeted by Refs and they look for any opportunity to book him. The 2 yellows at the Scouse are a clear example and also his yellow against Spuds for "a nothing foul" is another. Not to mention that 80-90% of fouls against him are not given or, worse, given against him.

I'm delighted someone has had the balls to come out and say this. It is obvious that Webb sees the incident, have a look at the stills that are in all the papers for the last couple of days, even Ratboy pointed it out in the post match analysis but this was conveniently swept under the carpet.

Regardless of what Mario did or didn't do in real time Webb saw the incident and didn't deem it worthy of any further action and then claims temporary blindness just to please the witch hunt and protect himself.

[kinkylola]

it's shameful that a professional National Association persecutes people on reputation and bias. Absolutely disgusting.

Well it wasn't going that smoothly at Inter.

Well, Mancini brought him here.

We know that AC would have him in a flash and his reputation alone would sell shirts for Real so why would he want to stay in a league where he is clearly victimised just because he is Mario Balotelli? I've had my rants against Mario but when it's quite obvious, as his agent states, then I would defend him to the hilt, especially as it's not just about Mario, it's an attack on our club as a whole. Mario is just the pawn.

TBH we have had a right touch if the ref knew what was coming he would have sent him off, and we would 2 points down.

He's not just victimised because he's Mario, he's victimised because he often gives the impression he is about to kick off, then does something which allows the ref to book him. Last year he dumped us out of the UEFA Cup because he felt like it. Now we're all pretending he doesn't have it in him to kick somebody; of course he does, he did it then. Everyone sees stuff like that & it attracts attention to him. It's not a new thing, it's what happens to players who give the impression of being a loose cannon. If he went to AC Milan & did the same, he would get noticed by refs there too.

Mancini has explained this to him.

Spot on....I love Mario but he has to grow up, if we are honest with ourselves there was intent, simples. He could be the most amazing asset for our club and equally could be a disaster. The jury is still out.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

It's irrelevant what Mario did or didn't do. The issue here is that Webb saw this and took no further action, he then lied by saying he didn't see it and he needs to be called to task on it.

His agent just was on the phone on SSN . Said redknapp and the media pressured Webb into saying he didn't see it. Also said "what was Webb looking at then?, was there a mouse on the pitch" absolutely class . Fightback starts here

I'm all for this kind of thing. If some random character in Italy wants to tear a stip off them, that's brilliant as he can say what he wants and there's nothing the FA can do about it.

[Seanyod]

It's the best thing that could happen . If Mancini says anything he get players on twitter slagging him, other managers etc. Like last week . That horrible twitchy cunt said all week about Mancini etc etc then went straight out and said mario should be banned. The little hypocritical cunt. What can they say about his agent? Like u said, nowt to do with us. Love the way his agent mentioned kompany as well. And pit it down to the fact that they are foreign. Don't think arry available to comment though. Is busy trying to get the pin number off his dog he set the account up for
