    I come in Peace.

    I understand you probably couldn't care less about what happened on Wednesday but I just wanted to open up (if possible) a debate on political correctness in football (or at least the PL anyway). Whether you think there is/isn't? Where the problems lie? Societal issues. Government to blame etc.

    No matter what side you are on (it seems to have encapsulated the nation) it's become clear now that kind of behaviour (whether Hazard kicked the ball or not) isn't acceptable partly due to brand image and public outcry. We all hate Man Utd but would a player have been banned for swearing in front of his own away fans 30 or even 20 years ago? The answer is an emphatic No.

    Just wanted to get your opinions on this, don't bite my head off.

    Thanks in advance. <cheers>

    I thought he was right to kick the ball from under him. They showed another camera angle and all he got was the ball so no problem as far as I'm concerned.

    The ballboy was Welsh and fair game for a kick/slap or whatever in my opinion. Nationality aside though if he wants to try gamesmanship be prepared for the consequences.

    PC is not just in football it's in everyday life and is getting beyond a joke, bring back the clip round the ear from the copper I say
