Howay 12495 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We sold a youth player, Zamblaronaldinhi, to Arsenal on the hush-hush last October. Deadman, any chance you could look up his Fifa stats? Apparently he is a hot potato. Whatever did happen with Zamblera? Had his contract terminated by mutual consent at the start of this season iirc.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I thought the Balotelli 'stamp' looked completely accidental, it would take incredibly skilful footwork to do that deliberately especially whilst falling over. It looks a lot worse in slow-mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you joking? It was very obviously intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2475 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Definitely deliberate and very very bad, even though its Scott Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Man 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah it was deliberate, there's no getting from that. It wasn't a natural foot movement when you're going down and he should be banned for a couple of games. No doubt if Webb saw it he would be sent off.

ewerk 26738 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I initially thought that he had lost his balance and was just trying to put his foot down in order to stabilise himself. The more I've seen it the worse it looks but I don't think that there's enough there for the FA to convict him of anything. Toon Man, Webb was looking straight at the incident.

Dr Gloom 20038 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 it was a pretty obvious stamp. it's not like he can even use the 'his head was where i needed to stand excuse'. his foot has gone actively looking for it. parker's a lucky boy that he wasn't badly hurt. balotelli should expect a three game ban.

Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Balotelli is an absolute cunt for that and I hope he gets a lengthy ban. What he did was far worse than what Suarez did for me. Parker could have been very seriously hurt there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2475 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It looks like he goes out of his way to avoid standing on his hand only to then kick him in the head "Heya sheet, I'a missa the chance to stamp on thata cunter Parker's head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Doesn't look too bad from this angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWXsObs2I_o I'm not sure it's deliberate, plus he "missed". So basically Balotelli is getting murdered for, possibly unintentionally, not stamping Parker in the head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks 100% deliberate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Of course it looks worse in slow motion, but things happen in real time and for him to try to avoid landing on Parker but stand on his head in the same movement, at that speed, is ridiculous. People's limbs shoot out all over the place when they lose balance so I don't buy the 'not a natural foot movement' line either. Of course Balotelli is a ridiculous man so the possibility remains it was deliberate but it looks highly unlikely to me in which case the referee couldn't send him off, which he didn't thankfully.

hostile_statue 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks 100% deliberate to me. Could be, I change my mind every time I see it. But if you look at his arms and the way he almost falls over, he definitely loses his balance, looks like he almost twists his left ankle. Could be that he instinctively stretches his right leg to steady himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Obviously deliberate and he has done that sort of thing before. The first time he catches him isn't deliberate its momentum, he then follows through with his other leg and its clearly intentional. Neville and Souness had it right, it was a totally unnatural way to have moved in that situation by accident and that he is a car crash waiting to happen. He'll either win them the title or lose them it, because if the ref had done his job he's off and they might have lost, instead he wins them the game.

Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It gets worse every time I see it, it's horrific. It's worse than any two-footed tackle and is very deliberate. Forget career threatening tackles, if that had connected as I think Balotelli intended it, it could've caved Parker's head in. I hope he gets banned for fucking ages, wanker.

toonotl 2475 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Balotelli was trying to do spuds a favour by spinning Parker's head 180 degrees so he'd start passing the ball forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Am I missing something? Has Balotelli got eyes in the back of his head? Redknapp said he's got form for stamping, well you've got form for brown envelopes you wonky-faced twat, so get to court and shut the fuck up.
