I honestly don't think he did intend to stamp on Parker, I mean, there's two massive points you are missing here:
1) Why the **** would he want to stamp on Parker? He despite Balotelli being a bit a nutter I don't think he's the kind of guy that would do something that dangerous.
2) If he wanted to stamp on Parker why did he miss him?
I'm not going to sit here and defend Balotelli, because, I don't reallly care that much, I don't support City and I wasn't particularly bothered about the outcome.. I just don't think people should always assume something just because it's what they want to believe. When you try to balance yourself you would stamp your backfoot into the ground to stop yourself from falling over.. I've done it while playing football and I'm sure most people here have..
Like I said, I'm probably in the 1% who doesn't think he did it on purpose, but, whatever, I don't really care. At least everyone has a perfect excuse for why Tottenham won't win the league now.. Yay.
Oh dear, what a terrible argument! Really poor post, completely lacking in any logic or sense.
Why would he want to stamp on Parker? He probably didn't. It was not pre-meditated or calculated, like Zidane headbutting Materazzi, or Keane butchering Haaland. No, it was a split-second reaction. He's got a poor temperament, and is prone to reacting in an irrational way. The stamp was simply a petulant and volatile reaction to being tackled. He probably was not too aware it was Parker's head either....which brings me to my next point;
If he wanted to stamp on Parker's head, why did he miss? Honestly, are you all quite 'there' in the intelligence/rationale department? He clearly did not
want to stamp on his head with intent to cause brain damage, so whether he quite hit the mark is inconsequential. Nevertheless, for theories sake, let's assume(the purely theoretical pre-supposition!) that he did intend to end Parker's life with a heavy stamp to the old noggin. He was slightly off-balance, and facing the other way. While Mario is a talented footballer, we can assume he is not all that proficiently lethal with close quarters combat. He missed by an inch, and it was pure
luck that he did not initiate full contact.
Please review the video until you have a clearer perspective on the matter. He was slightly off balance, yet the full force of his back heel was so aggressive that we can be led to believe that it was with intent, though just not with the intent to actually smash Parker's face in. By asking the questions you did, you are presuming Mario is a man of thought and calculation. He's clearly not. He's a temperamental, thoughtless, self-important, selfish thug who's reprehensible action is being 'punished' with a four game ban. And people actually congratulate the F.A for this? He's gotten away with something quite severe here. As I wrote, he missed Parker by an inch, through sheer luck, and it is with sheer luck that Parker is not lying in hospital with a broken face.
