Don't start a club size debate over here! There's enough of that to last a lifetime on the Leeds board. Being serious fair play to them. They thoroughly deserved to beat Chelsea over the 2 games. Teaching them to dive young though. I did have to chuckle at the irony of a pl star seeing red because a 12 year can sham injury like a pro! I wonder where he learnt that from........?
If you are old enough to have witnessed major silverwear in Wales, then I salute you and the other 5 persons in Wales still alive(if your mental faculties are still capable of reminiscing to 85 years ago.) Unfortunately, the other 99.995% will only have seen the mighty Swans....and I suspect that will include you also - ENJOY!!! I am sure it will live long in the memory.
Exactly. More people in Wales can remember Cardiff winning something than Swansea. (Anyway it's not exactly the FA cup is it? )
Isn't this the cup that you referred to as the Micky mouse cup? Oh yeah... Amazing how a year on your opinion of it has changed...
More like a 17 year old ball BOY? who said on twitter he was "needed for timewasting” EDIT... The teenager, who is the son of Swansea City director Martin Morgan
Why is Hazard being punished? Looked just like any other perfectly legal ruck the majority are used to seeing there.
Plenty of clubs use this delaying tactic and the FA hasn't seen it as a problem to date. I would suggest they will view it differently after this incident. Hazard should be punished for the incident but equally Swansea need to be penalised as it was a blatant attempt to time waste. For the player it is a no win situation, the player cannot lay hands (or feet) in a minor be they a ball boy or not. Any such contact is seen as violent conduct and he was rightly sent off, there can also be more repercussions if a member of the public report the assault then the police become involved. What is the answer? I'm sure there must be something in the rules that limits the amount of time a ball boy has to return the ball. If there is it is obviously being ignored as a matter of course throughout all leagues not just the British league systems.
The only outcome surely is to ban swansea from having their own ball boys and allowing the visiting teams to provide their own ballboys on matchdays at the liberty...................
I just pray the young lads makes a swift recovery. Looked like he could be out for months the way they helped him off the pitch.
True, but I was rather 'merry' last night! I'm looking forward to the final but there will be huge pressure on us to win. Odds of 1/6 to win are crazy in a one off game. Fingers crossed we can bring an "English" trophy back across the bridge Good luck for the push to the big show.
Great semi final victory and superb season for you so far. Laudrup got his tactics absolutely right in both games. Hope you do it at Wembley Swimy. Lots of egg on face if not. I assume you won't be taking your own ball boys with you. Haven't laughed as much since Granny caught her tits in the mangle.
Really impressed with ML's tactics over the 2 legs, he got it spot on and the team carried it out to a 'T' Now to see if you can go that bit further than us and bring the 'Mickey Mouse Cup' back to Wales Got to be the first time a Welsh team ever entered a major cup final as favorites, as to the ball boy incident I thought Ash was going to give him a kick as well, he sure as **** would have deserved it
Saw the incident on youtube and can't make my mind up about the little twat. Apparently he is the son of one of the chairmen (Morgan) and knew a day before he was a replacment! If this is true then his actions are more contemptible than first thought. I also think his mates will rip the piss out of him by the way he rolled over and acted like a girl.
I'll be sure to have some Pampers ready on the day of the final in case Bradford win. I just know I won't be able to hold it all in 'cos I'll be laughing too much!
