Eden Hazard assault?

Blue in Munich said:
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.

+1 not condoning Hazard but it was just frustration he wasn't trying to assault the lad just get on with the game.
then drama queen Britain takes over fair enough red card but it looks like they are going to shoot him at dawn.

Hazard made a rod for his own back and the ballboy took advantage, as I wrote in post #9 of this thread, Hazard appears to push the ballboy, as the ballboy was already bending over to collect the ball the push on his back by hazard caused him to fall on top of it, Hazard then tries to get the ball by kicking it out from under the ballboy.

If Hazard had been patient, he would not be facing punishment, the ref would have added time and the ballboy would have remained unknown to the world.

I agree with this, even if his only intention was to kick the ball, he was totally reckless as there was no ball showing and he would have to kick through the obstacle in the way to get to it

Absolutely fantastic. No wonder footballers believe in rolling around the floor when they are brushed by another player, they're being taught it from schoolboys! I sincerely hope the kid gets as much stick from people as he does 'pats on the back' for being pathetic.
 
I hope Chelsea get grief in some way , just because I choose to really dislike them and enjoy seeing them lose and get fined ,anything negative for them is good for me :lol:
 
Football is seriously in trouble as far as I'm concerned.

How frequently do we talk about great goals, superb saves and perfectly time tackles - almost never.

How frequently do we have players, fans and ground staff behaving like idiots, managers criticising the opposition and the officials, exaggerating incidents, focussing on off-ball spats, players wives, twitter arguments.

Why is football nothing to do with the game and the score any more. It's not just Chelsea who are having a PR disaster, it's the entire sport!
 
if a bll boy did that with ten minutes to go in the all-ireland gaelic final they would still being trying to take the foot out of his arse the following day on the bus back down to kerry! no one would bat an eyelid!


my first reaction was - i bet he ends up in the chelsea dressing room to get an apology. act the fool and get rewarded! disgrace !!!
 
I heard he got offered a 3 year deal with Chelsea based on his reaction to getting tapped in the side they said he was already at premiership level and as footballing ability is no longer a key attribute to playing in the premier league they didn't even need to start him on a trial basis!

I think this is a sad comment , you choose to dislike them ? realy ? are you a ball boy at swansea by any chance ?:D
 
They both got what they deserved. The little scrote got a bit of a nudge and Hazard got sent off. End of incident. Listening to people claiming assault is frankly embarrassing. We are turning into a nation of real drama queens aren't we.
 
Isn't the job of the ball boy to keep the game flowing by getting the football back into play as quickly as possible?

Players get booked for wasting time, Swansea should be reprimanded for not making it clear to the ball boys that their single role is to hand the ball to a player as quickly as possible to allow the game to continue.

Okay Hazard should have kept his cool but that ball boys behaviour is ludicrously embarrassing.

Completely agree. I've actually given up watching it now and barely bother to check the scores even. Can't be dealing with all the nonsense.

Sad that it all detracts from a brilliant Swansea performance over the two legs.

Exactly!

Kid is a 'lad' and deserved everything he got, Hazard should have known better and also got what he deserved (red card) however Swansea have seen barely any column inches (in relation) for a historic result in their history....that's the real crime here.....
 
Swan... who????

Did you see the match last night, Chelsea were playing some welsh outfit, snowed a lot before the game, on the tele I believe as apparantly one of the goffers on the side line grabbed a chelsea player and got a kick in the balls for his trouble, something in the papers about it today, Chelsea got beat, not that I believe that, a quality side of professional footballers

Spot on + Pat Nevins suggestion this morning to get rid of all ball boys. They are not needed in the modern game.

I was listening and Pat Nevin didn't actually say that they should get rid of ball boys. Of course the journo also on the phone-in wasn't quite listening properly either and took what he said to be as you say. What Pat Nevin said was (I paraphrase) "unfortuntely you know what is going to happen next is that they'll get rid of ball boys"

So he wasn't saying that that is what he'd do - in fact he was lamenting the possibility that the idiots in charge of football might see last night's incident as being a reason to get rid of ball-boys.

I bet Pat Nevin will be furious when hears the journo on after him and then others going on about how ridiculous he is advocating getting rid of balls boys - when that is not at all what he said.

Deserved????

Shocking statement. No one deserves to be assaulted, end of discussion. Would you be taking the same view if it was your son?
The situation has been put to bed, let it lie without posting stupid needless posts saying he deserved it.

He clearly wasn't assaulted in his and his father's eyes or they'd be pressing charges.
