Not throwing the ball back is no where near as bad as stopping the player get to it, the grabbing it and refusing to let go, then falling on it and trying to hatch it.
Not all of it, but was watching live when this happened. I don't care if the players were cheating in the first half, I'm not defending them, only commenting on this incident. The ball boy very clearly stopped Hazard getting the ball 3 times. At first look I thought he just got the ball, but...
Of course we all agree it doesn't matter who you are violent to, but it's clear he wasn't violent to anyone.
Banned for kicking the ball?
Ball boy quickly grabs the ball, and hands it to opponents to take a quick throw-in and score before our defenders have caught up with play, if memory serves...
1) He went to get the ball
2) The ball boy ran to beat him to it
3) The ball boy then let the ball go past him
4) Hazard decided to get it, since the ball boy was wasting time
5) The ball boy stopped him, fell onto the ball, and clearly deliberately stayed on top of it, to stop the game...
It doesn't 'look like' that's what happened, that is what happened. The ball boy, who is a member of Swansea, was cheating, and then faking injury. What a joke.
