I suspect you're closer to that definition than most footballers
Yep, although I only drink shandy if I'm driving 
Was partially tongue in cheek, although it does take the piss when you see them rolling around in "agony" after falling over - compare that to some of the huge crashes at Red Bull Rampage, for example, where everyone walked away waving rather than making a meal out of it.
Ohh perleeeese!
Still allergic?
Is she dead?
Pah, when called up, Samuri failed to live up to his threat. Wuss.
She could be dead, Winegums, she could be. She looks...
I find it funny that someone paid 30 million to then find out he was allergic to grass
Could be that he's allergic to the fertiliser used in the Kiev stadium, or a particular pollen or something like that actually.
Would you appreciate it if all your colleagues at work laughed if your face swelled up due to an allergy to something in your workplace?
I think you have missed my point elfin, I find it funny that a corporation has spent 30 mil on someone who is allergic to a substance that he has to come into contact with.not the fact the guy could lose income
I don't think you really have a point to miss in the first place really.
Bloke's got an allergy to something, which caused him some discomfort and prevented him from doing his job/something he loves doing. The money paid by Man City for his services have bugger all to do with owt. First time this seems to have cropped up, as far as I can see.
I wonder if the reaction by some off here would be the same if it were someone like Steve Peat allergic to something in the environment he works in...
whatever. go troll some one else.

I'm sad this thread didn't turn out the way I'd planned to be honest, we got to the vinegar strokes way too fast, Mr Sparkle got involved and I got bored really quickly so I'd not mark it down as as success but.... falkirk-mark is pretty much on the money.
How do you get to a point where you're playing professional football, and then at some point during your prime career period, announce that you're allergic to grass? Really, you'd have found that one out a very long time ago. But the loyalty people do have to their chosen sport and the barely comprehensible idiots that make it what it is is admirable, well done.
Whatever, samuri.
Whatever.
Here's a little challenge for you:
Could be that he's allergic to the fertiliser used in the Kiev stadium, or a particular pollen or something like that actually.
First time this seems to have cropped up, as far as I can see.
Have a root around see if you can find something that shows he had an allergy before this particular incident. Do a bit of research into allergies.
I am allergic to just a small range of pollens. The allergy is exacerbated by the combination of pollens and other chemicals, possibly fertilisers and stuff like that. I only suffer hayfever from about March to June. It's possible it's a combination of things that has caused Blalotelli's reaction.
But the loyalty people do have to their chosen sport and the barely comprehensible idiots that make it what it is is admirable, well done.
So this is just about your prejudice towards certain people and their activities, then? By your own admission.
There have bin competitive swimmers that have bin allergic to chemicals used in swimming pools. Still as funny? Or is it only football that grabs your attention?
Nah, it's just professional football. I don't mind people kicking a ball about, that's good as far as I'm concerned. It's professional football that properly bothers me. That's really crap that you suffer from all those allergies, but then you're not paid 50k an appearance. It really should bother the people who watch it but bizarrely it doesn't seem to after seeing the responses to this thread.
I can't imagine paying a kings ransom for a season ticket only to watch that money be pissed up a wall for a player who 'it just turns out' is allergic to the very substance he spends his entire professional life on. Does this, as a football supporter, not enrage you? Obviously you can't understand how me, as a non-football enthusiast, finds this ridiculous (and funny) in the extreme.
But ho hum, you live. I certainly have from this thread. I'll never stop being amazed at what a strange world we live in. Which is a good thing.
Funnily enough they're discussing it on the radio show I'm listening to.
Whatever the bloke is paid etc, is irrelevant. That he suffered an allergy, is not really something to laugh at, imo. Do you really think someone suffering from a health problem is funny?
Personally, as this doesn't seem to have happened before, I can't see that Balotelli is actually allergic to grass. More likely something that Kiev use on their pitch, as I've said.
