    Sorry for the double thread but I felt I had to bring this up.

    Watch this video:



    Notice at 0:57 Balotelli makes a whistle gesture, he is right. Go to 0:12, a whistle noise is made, similar to a referees. Balotelli clearly hears this and does a little trick shot which is done by a couple of players, not necessarily trick shot but just a little shot when they hear the whistle go. He looks like he prepares himself for LA's freekick but then thinks "What" raising his arms. So, I believe Mancini was wrong to take him off.

    Yeah i do hear a sound similar to that of a whistle. Balotelli sort of slows down a bit after the sound.

    It's a massive fuss over nothing, Mancini made a stupid decision. Even if he didn't hear the whistle, it was a bit disrespectful, sure, but it's only the World Football Challenge, it's not as though it's a key game and they're 5-0 up and taking the piss and humiliating their opponents.

    Mancini took it overboard. Balotelli made a mistake, he thought he heard a whistle and made a stupid shot. Mancini didn't need to sub him, but Balotelli could of took it like a man rather than walking off like some spoilt kid.

    Yep, there was no need for it really. Just wait until half time and have a word with him then. Plus we were looking good with Balotelli playing and turned to crap when he was taken off, ruined the game.

    The whole situation has been taken out of hand imo, But I can see were Mancini is coming from Balotelli has the potential to become a legend in the sport if he cuts out all the bullshit like this and the darts etc: I think Mancini just wanted to make an example out of him to the rest of the team.

    I agree. He could be one of the best but no one will take him seriously if he is making a prat of himself. Taking him off was wrong, a quiet word and send him back on would have been more than enough. Both acted like little kids, Mancini for taking him off and then Balotteli walking away and not taking his place on the bench.

    Taking him off lets the whole team know that Mancini means business also can you blame Balo for walking away? Must have been seriously emberassing for him with that many people in the stadium as well as it being televised, He would of known that the second the substitute was announced it would be all over the press, This stories will probably dominate the back pages tommorow Neutral

    nothing is embarrassing for Super Mario, I'm sure he'll enjoy his name in the papers regardless the context.

    Mancini said Balo will learn form this, haha I doubt it.

    Mancini was still wrong in my eyes. It was against a team who mean nothing and after taking Balo off he changed the game and City looked worse.

    You can hear a whistle, not the refs but sounded like one. He tried to finish the play, like a cock. Would have been epic if he scored.

    So if it was a team who "mean something" you might have supported the decision?

    To be honest looking at that video it looked like he was eyeing up the goal ready to finish, then the noise happened and he casually done a spin and backheel, I think he thought he was offside because of that noise.
