Tottenham boss Redknapp fumes: Man City's Balotelli has previous
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp was furious seeing Mario Balotelli stay on the pitch to hit Manchester City's winner yesterday.
Redknapp has condemned Balotelli for the stamp on Scott Parker he felt should have led to the Manchester City striker being sent off.
That Balotelli scored the injury-time penalty to seal a dramatic 3-2 win for the hosts only made matters worse.
"I couldn't see a reason for it. It is not a nice thing to do. It has no place in football. Having looked at it, yes, I do (think Balotelli should have been sent off).
"It is not the first time he has done that and I am sure it won't be the last.
"I am the last person to talk about getting people sent off and what they should and shouldn't do.
"But it is blatant. He reacts to challenges like that at times.""What reason did he have to backheel Scott in the head with his studs when he is laying on the floor?" said the Spurs chief.

dmeeni must be watching an other league
city have been ultra demonised all through the season
two games we lost against Chelsea and sunderland where
blatant errors by the referee/linesman
Harry is ballistic and rightly he should be because he spent the whole week bragging about his team and how city were not so good all I can say is that who watched the game knows that up to that gift Savic gave defoe they had not produced one single shot at the city keeper
Whatever harry says that is a fact
Makes you wonder whether the ref was genuine and honest in not seeing the blatant foul from 4 paces away. Ah, there's so much money involved in football these days - especially where Man City is involved - that one cannot exclude anything. But then we've now got used to some of the prima donnas acting part-time as referees.
