Eden Hazard assault?

smange said:
Nothing personal mate but as your obviously a Chelsea fan you are going to see it slightly different from the neutrals among us.

Although I agree with a lot of what you said, a player just cant expect to kick a ball boy, either intentionally or accidentally while trying to retrieve the ball. Im sorry but Hazard is so in the wrong here and should be dealt with accordingly.

Yes I am and nothing personal taken. I don't think I'm seeing the incident differently from everyone else, as you don't seem to have much argument with my description of it. I'm just fed up with the culture where you can say or do what you like, however wrong it is and however far you overstep the mark but you still have the right to scream blue murder when the person you are going out of your way to provoke reacts.

And for the record, over the two legs the best team won.
 
You can just hear Hazard saying 'get aff the (MOD EDIT) ball ya wee edit and then giving him a wee prod in the ribs to get him moving - because actually that was what Hazard did - it wasn't a bloody great kick - it was a prod - and a fairly gentle one at that. Doesn't mean he wasn't stupid doing it.

And you could see the wee edit having a quick look around to see if anyone is looking and when he saw they were he started doing his moaning and groaning and rolling about.

So the 17 year old ball "boy", who has posted on Twitter (along with the photo of himself swigging cider) that he is going to time waste lets the ball roll past him when he could easily have stopped it, then puts himself between the ball and the player trying to retrieve it, tries to wrestle it away from the player and then falls on the ball to try and stop the player getting it and no-one says a word. When the player toe pokes the ball, catching the "boy" in the ribs with his shin, all hell breaks loose. Welcome to broken Britain, where the cheat is defended by all and sundry and the player is roundly crucified for trying to get the ball back in play. You couldn't make it up.

Are you really defending what happened? really?
 
The 4th Official raising it was a suggestion I thought I heard a commentator make at the time - was watching and don't recall the ref speaking wiuth his assistant on that side. If he did then that's likely to be the source of th einformation. But it wasn't at all obvious at first look that Hazard actually kicked the ballboy. I don't think the Refereee could have decided that he must have kicked him, and likewise I don't think an assistant 25yds away (if he was that close) could have made a positive decision that Hazard kicked him. So as far as I can deduce the Refereee must have got absolute positive information on a kick from the 4th Official viewing video replays.

Best 'self edit' before mods look up the meaning of the Scots word I used lest I get another infraction as it's worse than the word I asterisked and got the inferaction for :-) And as I used it twice I might get two infractions ;)

Note to self - watch my language on a public forum.

Stupid me :(

Note to Mods - I am being very dim - but it is commonly used in a humerously derogatory context - it's not used in a rude way. That's the problem when you post as you speak

Mod note, original post edited again

:D

Could have been much worse for the young lad
 
he didnt kick him hard enough. ball boys should not slow the game in any way. they are there to keep the game running smoothly in the back ground. at no time should they obstruct a player from reaching a ball.

i will say that a ball boy doesnt have to run if his team are winning but actualy slowing down play by obstructing opposition players is "boot up the arse worthy"
 
Hazard was an idiot for kicking him and will be looking at at least a three game an probably two extra for bringing the game into disrepute, Chelsea may however try to buy their way out of a prosecution like the cole air rifle incident, give him some roubles and he want co-operate with the cps

But I bet the outcry would be far worse has Suarez done it,

Because there was about the same amount of contact and force in both incidents; however, Duncan's offence was against another adult - this was a young kid

There was nothing like the same amount of force in both incidents, and he's not exactly a young kid, he's a reasonably built 17 year old.
 
The whole thing is embarrassing

Chelsea's performance = embarrassing
Hazard's reaction = embarrassing
The ball boys antics = embarrassing
The ball boy feigning injury = embarrassing
The comments that think that was assault = embarrassing
 
If that was an "assault" and comparable to the Cantona incident then I really must invest in a new tv!

There were instances in both games shown last night where players threw and kicked the ball away to stop the opposition from taking quick possession and in some cases the ref booked players. I know, 100years ago when I played, little riled me up more than a player wandering off with the ball to stop a quick free kick or throw in and, invariably he would just drop it miles from the incident.

For me, if a strapping 17 year old ball boy wants to play silly beggars and cheat for his team then he should be banned from the ground and to suggest that Hazzard should get anything more than the ban for the red card is nonsense and I am absolutely NOT a Chelsea fan.
 
Why didnt the player let the ball boy do his job.
He shoulnt have been anywhere near the ball boy.

What next.....
Federer hitting a ball boy with his racket ?

:clap: :clap: :rofl::rofl:

I can understand SWP looking into assault charges I suspect nothing more will come of it but the FA will seriously have to lengthen the ban IMO, It was a embarrassing incident all round from the "king of the ball boys" a Swansea directors son to boot, And one of the reigning champions of europes star players making complete idiots of themselves.
