Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think most people are bored of this moron now. I hope he fucks off at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Banned for 4 games, and rightly so. Yep, that's the right call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Something I've never understood, why on Earth does a players ban get extended if they lose their appeal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 To stop people from appealing every case i'd imagine. The whole idea of an appeal is sill anyway, is it really that fucking difficult to just get the dicision right the first time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 don't think its the extra game for appeal here, just he's been sent off already so gets another game automatically the extra game on appeal is for "frivolous" appeals but its not really clear what the FA qualify as "frivolous" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's not automatic, only if they feel it's frivolous. Can't remember it being applied that often and if used sparingly think it's a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Pleasantly surprised the FA didn't bottle it. Now with any luck, they can apply to some consistency to their decision-making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Doubt he meant to stamp on Parker's head (if he did then he should be jailed in all honesty) but he definitely intended on sticking his foot in. You don't just randomly extend your leg like that, especially when you know there's a bloke lying on the ground behind you. Used to find him ammusing but it's becoming pretty apparent that he's just a fucking tit. Completely agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Agreed, don't think he was going for the head but definate stamp. What a tit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Minusmensch Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Webb saying he didn't see the incident is the biggest joke tbh. He was following the ball with his head and turned it back right after the incident. Of couse he couldn't see him. He's just a normal human being for f***s sake, can't catch everything that happens. Edit: That guy was way, way faster than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sophie S Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm really not sure about this whole thing. For one thing: at no point does Balotelli look down. Parker falls behind his back, Balotelli stumbles over him (backwards), therefore can only feel where he must lie. But if you meant to stamp on someone, surely you'd have a quick peek, just a little turn of the head, where that person is. I can't help but feel that that would be the natural reaction to the idea of hitting a certain thing. Just check out Pepe when he marched over Messis hand. Furthermore, the leg goes pretty much to the direct point Balotelli is initially falling towards. The only reason his body moves away from Parker and therefore opposite direction from his leg is because Modric gives him a push. I realise I'm pretty much alone with my opinion, but I don't really think he deserves this ban. I'm just not sure this was intentional and since there are just as many moments of doubt as of proof how can you convict him? Furthermore I think we have seen far more malicious acts during this season. Now I might be a bit overprotective of Coloccini here, but does anyone remember Rooney kicking him 3 times when he was on the floor? Once with the ball in front of Colo, once with the ball behind him and once with the ball 3 yards away! And all this in front of Rooney, where he could see who and what he was hitting. Now, if we have at least established that Balotelli didn't intend to hit the head, how is Rooney any less malicious? My opinion: Balotelli is officially labelled a nutcase (by right) and therefore doesn't deserve a moment of doubt, whereas Rooney is the baby of the English football nation or at least the FA and therefore gets away with a lot of sh*t more.

I'm with you. Think a 4 game ban is kind of ridiculous. Now I know Balotelli is looked upon as the devil himself, and perhaps rightly so on some previous occasions, but swap him with, let's say Adam Jonhson. Would he get punished in the same fashion? Balotelli may be a cunt, but in this particular incident I genuinely believe FA got it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Webb saying he didn't see the incident is the biggest joke tbh. I don't really see why Webb wouldn't have sent him off if he'd seen it. He's said today that had he seen it, he'd have sent him off. What possible reason would Howard Webb have for deliberately not seeing it? he's a Man United fan (practically a Man United player) FFS.
