Default Balotelli

He really is a dirty b@stard

I hope the FA take further action against him over this incident

Agreed, falling one way yet managed to swing his leg the opposite way?

Both were bad.. Balotelli should have been off for it. But then I don't really expect anything else from the referees these days.

Only last week I was going to retract my comments from earlier in the season where I classed him as someone with mental issues.

I thought I had him all wrong after his antics in the petrol station paying for everyones fuel, Nando's paying for everyones meal and the visit to the khazi at the local community college as well as his general sense of fun, not to mention nearly burning his house down with the firework and struggling with a bib etc etc.

But that dig at Parker was so blatant and nasty, let himself down big time.

Just look at his record thus far though.
3 reds and 15 yellows in 47 matches - does that not tell you something.

Yes, that he thinks the rules don't apply and isn't learning any different.

True

His club should now discipline him though, because it will be impossible form them to defend this.

the FA is a joke,, how come name calling gets an 8 game ban but stamping on somones head gets a 4 game ban, yes the name calling was a tad racial but for the love of god stamping on his head could quite easily kill him,. rant over and send the animal home,,

The FA is certainly a joke, if I were Man City I'd be very pi$$ed off right now that no action has been taken against Crouch! He could have potentially blinded Olssen

Tbh it looks as if Crouch ran his fingers across Olssen' face, rather than gouge him, but I think he thought about doing it and relented, a strange incident to say the least.

Interesting to see Platt squirming during his interview over the whole affair.

Also - Baloteii's agents comments about Howard Webb, what's that all about.
