Mario Balotelli may miss Man City's match this weekend...

.. due to an allergic reaction to Dynamo Kiev's pitch

How is this funny?

Do you not find this not funny?

Emm.. no.

So Man City paid fucking £24 Million for a player allergic to grass.

I remeber seeing him rubbing his eyes during the game and then his ear when he was substituted. Didn't expect this

He had an allergic reaction to a pitch.

I don't see how it's funny either.

Well it's probably not even grass for a start.

Might have been artificial.

I was out partying at the time so I didn't see the game, but Sheva scored

Pretty weird to be allergic to artificial turf.

This happened to a player last week in Italy. What happened is that to make the grass look green after the winter months they use an artificial substance to add color. The guy in Italy had a very bad allergic reaction and had to go to the hospital. I'm guessing that's what happened in Kiev.

Unless Balotelli is making it up, which I doubt.

Probably something in the air rather. It is spring after all, and most of Ukraine is plains.

If this guy can't see the funny side, there's no hope for the rest of us.

I was banking on a SBSP laugh. At least I squeezed 3 rofl's out of Jela
