[i]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... [/i]
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.
