Ball Boy Well Out Of Order

[vernonk]

I am not a Chelsea fan but, having watched the ball boy incident from last nights match against Swansea, I feel very strongly that it's the ball boy and not the player who should be severely disciplined. Surely the ball boys job is to return the ball to the field of play as quickly and easily as possible. That kid was clearly trying to keep the ball from Chelsea to assist Swansea. ban him from football for life, I say. You?

I don't do twitter.
My post was a joke c and p'd from a well known joke site.
Couldn't care less.

The worst part of this is that someone is actually the parents of this fat arrogant "git" whose only ambition is to become a programme seller, when and if , he grows up.

In my day, he would have got another kicking when he got home....

sqad for PM..!...

I know ChillDoubt ....chill lol

[DTCwordfan]

Both are guilty.....

[Mick-Talbot]

no, Hazard is guilty of nothing, he kicked the ball from under a total plank.

[ChillDoubt]

Apologies Mick, my post sounded like a snipe, certainly not meant as such!

[Sqad]

M-T.......lol

[anotheoldgit]

Amazing some are up in arms if anyone suggests that kids should get a smack if they misbehave, yet were football is concerned there are shouts of "kick him why not"?

The footballer is an adult and should have put the situation into the hands of the match officials, if it had been a policeman taking such action, there would have been cries for his sacking.

I agree with AOG. Should I be worried?
(Right, off to work now)

[ChillDoubt]

Let's not get it all out of context, this was hardly a sustained attack on an 8 year old, the lad was out of order, he knows it, his Dad knows it, the footballing world knows it.
Hazard obviously caught him whilst trying to kick the ball form underneath him and is obviously sorry for his foolhardy actions.

As it stands though, the lad has a promising career in either Hollywood, Serie 'A' or if matters continue as they do, the Premier League.

[Mick-Talbot]

Why would a policeman be playing football in the first place?



People need to get a grip

[ichkeria]

Hasard deliberately kicked him - that's obvious. Additionally, it wasn't up to him to retrieve the ball.
Sending off was the correct decision. Ball boy's actions were out of order but probably no worse than similar questionable time wasting incidents by ball boys and players alike.
As for rolling around on the ground feigning serious injury I wonder where he got that from?
Both were in the wrong. They've both apologised, that should be that

[bazwillrun]

If you do a search you will find that there is plenty of footage from people right by the incident who took footage on their phones from another angle which clearly show Hazard was trying to kick the ball from under the ballboy, but unfortunately that doesnt suit the mainstream meedjia .

This little chav was on twitter before the game saying he was going to time waste.

but as usual the spineless idiots that collectively are know as the FA will take no action against Swansea.

anybody else impressed by the writhing around in agony...wonder where he got that from ?!

[bazwillrun]

hmm ...for some strange reason half the posts werent showing when i posted my last message but now they are I see that I plagiarised the previous poster, oh well

[Davethedog]

Can't believe what i'm reading here, when a player punches a ball boy because their holding the ball to long your just as supportive, because if he gets away with it your setting a precedent.

Hazard should have walked away simple as.

[daffy654]

Hazard did not punch the ball boy davethedog, he kicked the ball from under him. This ball boy is not a kid by the way, he's 17 years old so almost an adult.
He deliberately time wasted and was bragging about doing so on Twitter, Swansea should get some sort of punishment for allowing this to happen.

[DTCwordfan]

The lad was a tw-t and should be punished - if there is any hint of the club having instructed the ballboys to procrastinate, then they should feel the full force of the FA.....a rematch?

Hazard was a tw-t too and should have walked away to complain to the linesman and get him to contact the ref about adding on the time. However, the heat of the moment. Standard red card treatment is a sufficent punishment.
