He was a muppet, but im not sure the ref had any option other than to send him off once he kicked him (whether he was trying to release the ball or not)
You should have gone to specsavers mate. Whether the ball boy was stupid or not, Hazard was a total prick for kicking him in the rib area.
i would have kicked him into touch. He was milking it for all it was worth. Def a sending off, rules are rules.
Violent conduct agreed - who would have thought Bradford v Swansea in the final - wish i put a quid on that
clubI've just watched it and it looked like he just kicked the ball from under him rather than kick the lad...The ball boy was a total nob in my opinion and should be banned for life from doing that job again...And if it comes out that he was acting under instructions from the Swansea management, the should be facing a hefty fine at the very least..
Errrm - I am sure we all have done stupid things as a kid and whereas I agree the kid acted stupidly, Hazard on the other hand not only let himself down but his club and to some aspect his profession. But hey they life of a footballer these days, lets blame stupid 13 year old instead of overpaid **** wit of a footballer.
The lad is only a young kid and whether he was wrong or not he didn't deserve that. I agree its going to be blown all out of proportion as he didn't really make much contact with the lad himself. When Hazard sees those pictures over again he will be mortified and the lad will have hos 15 mins of fame. A hurriedly arranged press conference will be made this week where player and aball boy will be paraded laughing and joking together and everyone will be best pals again. Hazard will take his punishment and peace will reign. That said, if I were his dad I'd employ a good solicitor and milk it for all its worth. Lol
