Utterly ludicrous. He should have to sit out the rest of the season for that. Let's face it, if he'd deliberately kicked a player in the same manner, it probably would be a 5 game ban at least. Yes, the kid was time wasting for dear life, but to me this doesn't fall too far short of Cantona's Kung-fu kick.
He went to kick the ball and it did pop out. Ball boy is a Prat of the highest order. Don't believe any intent there not that sort of player

Not sure what some of you are watching but he definitely deliberately kicks the kid on the floor!!! I'm not saying it's like Cantona but he clearly pulls his leg back kicks him in the ribs, if he was trying to toe the ball from underneath him why is his foot a good few inches off the ground and he makes contact with the side of his body??? The kid was trying to time-waste, no doubt about that, but make no mistake, Hazard gives him a decent pop. It's Chelsea though, he'll get 3 games for violent conduct.
IMO it's worse than Barton's lash out! The kid is a minor, so expect the FA to ban Hazard for the rest of the season.
Saw Daniel Passarella go in studs up on a ball boy's knee many years ago. The kid went to hospital and the scumbag got 5 days reduced to 3 on appeal. In 2013 Hazard should get 6 days and hopefully an added assault and ABH charge!
If that's not a 12 match ban then it's proves they only banned Barton that long because he is Joey Barton.
The Swansea ball boy has confirmed he will be looking for compensation after being hurt by a hazard at work.
The clip I saw was from the reverse side. It's on YouTube done by a deancoombes. Sorry don't know how to put on here
Firstly I'm getting to grips with iPad don't know why it's duplicating. Not **** stirring just my honest view why do some people always assume a wum is at work. Would we be so judgemental if it was swp did it
Fair do's - I've almost given up on the iPhone version of the forum!! And yes, I would be that judgmental if SWP did the same - or any Rangers player (apart from Joey, who I'd expect it from)
