Eden Hazard

[7:18]

What an absolute prick, haven't felt this angry about an incident in sport in a long time...

What is worse, was the way he reacted after the incident and the look on his face...complete moron!

Just glad the ref did send him off, hope the league and club take strict action against him.

I did not catch what happened I just heard he kicked a ball boy? What actually happened?

 

[Hendrax]

Can you elaborate on what happened please?

 

[Wilko]

Equally the fact that Swansea employ a ballboy to waste time says a lot about the game at the moment.

 

[drop dead fred]

Very sad that he got angry enough to do that!

10-match ban minimum for that no excuse, I used to ref and would have sent him off as well, also compo for the ballboy as well

 

[Buffalo Seagull]

The kid deserved it. Hazard should have kicked him harder

 

[Aseros]

He deserved to be sent off regardless of what the ball boy done. it was violent conduct. There is no defense for provocation.

Look at the ball boys twitter account here Charlie Morgan™ (CHARLIEM0RGAN) on Twitter
One of his tweets says "The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting
5:33 PM - 23 Jan 13"

whatever the ballboy may have done wrong, there is never an excuse to kick a young boy in the ribs while he is down...let alone on live tv...and then to smirk and not show any remorse...a professional and role model? And to think one of my Year 7 students looks up to him as a "hero"...needs to be the bigger man and just let the ref add on the time, not assault a kid! Must make a public apology!

The ball ran out of play. The ball boy had the ball in his possession, but ended up being pushed to the ground. He was lying on top of the ball, unable to get up as he was being badgered by Eden. Hazard then gave him a sharp kick to his kidney, in a ill founded effort to kick the ball from underneath him.

You'll probably get some arse pundit suggesting it wasn't studs up, so only deserved a yellow.

He's sent a tweet. Doesn't mean that is what he was going to do. Suddenly twitter is the font of all truth!

 

[Peever]

Video up already. Not the best mind

This, he tried to kick the ball from under him. Wasn't a big kick, but the kids rolling around like he's got three broken ribs! Why was the ball boy lying on the ball. Man up!!

(hope he hasn't got 3 broken ribs!)

oh dear. haha.

quoted the wrong person, sorry. new to this.

 

[drop dead fred]

Bit strong Williams after the game saying you can't do that, it's not on
But it's alright to boot the ball at rvp

 

[coagulantwolf]

Here is what actually happened:

Ball goes out of play, ball boy retrieves ball however decides to hold on to it and time waste. Hazard, noticing this, goes to retrieve to get the ball. However, the ball boy decides to start a ruck and lie on top of the ball (thus wasting time). After waiting a few seconds for the ball boy not to move, Hazard notices the gap below his body where he can kick the ball out of. Hazard then kicks the BALL. Not the boy's ribs as people are trying to say. He kicks the FOOTBALL. The ball boy then goes down in a heap of agony, as if he had been shot.

The boy is now being praised, for making the most of minimal (if any) contact, and generally being a massive pussy. He is being rewarded for this, labelled a hero.

Yet this is something everyone wants eradicated from the game. Players to stop this diving/pussy culture. Yet if Hazard is banned and the ball boy gets away with it, football is reinforcing the idea to youngsters that the 'cheating' culture will enable you to prosper. Disgraceful.

Yes, the only prick is the ball boy, not the multi million pound professional footballer getting involved...
