Agree with Easy 10... He has a really vicious streak... could have really hurt parker and there is no way it was misplaced footing or accidental... defo forced his foot down on his head
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Balotelli is an utter SCUMBAG

Personally I thought it was accidental and that he moved his foot back to regain balance and just happened to catch Parker
You don't have a second account called Falmer do you ? Accidental my arse !

He has some SERIOUS issues, Balotelli.
Instead of spunking loads of money on shagging beautiful women and fireworks, he should try an anger management course.

Karl Henry is a thug and what's just as annoying is that cock McCarthy always defending him.
In Rugby Union, there is the citing process, where acts like stamping, eye gouging etc can be reviewed post-match (often because they are in a ruck or maul and not seen by the ref at the time). Maybe there should be a similar process in Football these days?

I'm not so sure Balotelli meant this. Have you ever tripped over something while moving backwards? If not try it and see what happens. There is a instinctive reaction to move your foot back and down very quickly to try to catch your balance. I know Mario's a bit of a loose canon but I want to see the incident again before making my mind up. My first reaction was that he was just trying to catch his balance and couldn't know that Parkers face was right behind his foot.
Must say, when I first saw it I thought it was accidental, but I'm not going to argue that strongly, or at all.
I will say that one of the podcasts I was listening to or an article I read (I forget which, now) discussed him and his eccentricities, and they made him seem like someone who isn't necessarily vicious or deliberately hurtful, but as someone who doesn't bother to try to have any forethought, or any sense of repercussion, very much 'in-the-moment'. There was a story of him discovering party poppers, he let one off in a team mate's face and then went back to what he was doing.
I'm not sure 'thug' of 'scumbag' would be the right word, if this is another example of that. I'd offer up an amateur assessment and suggest he has psycopathic/sociopathic tendencies, which for me is something different to being a thug or a scumbag.

I read an article on Edin Dzeko a few weeks ago, saying how difficult it was growing up in a violent, bloody war-torn environment in the former Yugoslavia and how it's taught him not to take anything for granted; to respect people, money and the success football brings and how lucky he is.
The complete opposite to that twat Balotelli, who only makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Have to agree with this - gone straight from 'likeable rogue with a flaky side' to 'colossal prick on a level with Roy Keane' - he may not be as consistently dirty as some but the results of his action today could have turned out much worse for Scott Parker if his foot had caught him slightly differently.

On the basis of the video evidence the guy should be deported as an undesirable.
I have no affiliation beyond the Albion but Scot Parker is an excellent player, a seemingly nice guy, and one who would never ever be described as the sort of player who would ever become involved in that sort of thing.
No-one has, as yet, suggested what our friend Mancini has had to say about it - I think he should be somewhat embarrassed and ought to be doing something about it !

Sometimes a bully needs a taste of his own medicine. Shame with this one is Totti didnt carry on.
Balotelli is a risk to everyone playing on the pitch with him.
Having seen that YouTube clip going to sit on the fence on this one.

With Mario there is always going to be the good the bad and the ugly but the game needs characters and this guy is a walking lunatic

Misread the thread title ..thought it was about Bellotti. Who, by the way, is a complete & utter scumbag of the highest order.
Balotelli is Mother Theresa compared to the bar steward that is Mr Bellotti!

Having watched the above clip numerous times i concur.....it was a stamp. If he was trying to catch his balance his other leg would have gone out. The direction of movement was not natural. I dont think he realised it was parkers face behind him but there was some intent to make contact.

That was a deliberate stamp, completely blind or biased if you think anything else. Secondly,if I remember rightly, he did not get booked, again, if I remember rightly, a player cannot be charged afterwards, or card/ban increased if he/it was not cautioned at the time of the offence.
Total tosser with fantastic football ability which makes him a complete tosser.
