If the FA did nothing about this then they condone players taking the law into their own hands and behaving dangerously near ball boys (cheating or not). Surely you can see that what Hazard did was unacceptable. If he had deliberately kicked him a six month ban would probably been reasonable. As it is, one or two more matches will be what happens.
As a Swansea fan I'll firstly say that Little Charlie is a plonker and I'm sure that daddy has been be going ape-**** with him. If it was up to me I would hit him where it hurts most for a teenage LAD. His brand new Audi he got for his 17th birthday will be taken away from him, all means to enter social networking sites will be confiscated and he will not be tagging along with the rest of the Swansea VIPs to the final or allowed to enter the Liberty for the next 12 months. Hazard was indeed attempting to retrieve the ball when he caught the lad in the ribs with his shin. But Eden simply should of not of got involved at all other than to point out the time-wasting ball boy to the ref who would of simply added on the time at the end of 90 minutes. Hazard did deserve the red card and all that comes with it, though no more than that.
Hope Hazard and the club appeal against yet another moronic charge from the Fergie Association, probably only done it so they can quietly let Fergie off yet again for another rant. Hazard should of broke a few ribs so the ban was at least deserving
ChelseaCOE2012 I agreed with the first part of your post then you went and said this... I think you'll find that if he had broken a few rips the FA would be the least of his worries as he would be riding out his ban in Prison. So it's an idiotic thing to say isn't it?
Wasn't aware the Fergie Association has a charge of violent conduct for kicking a ball. Do they measure the speed at which the ball is kicked when deciding which kick is "violent" ?? Surely the ball should have to burst for the kick to be deemed violent ?? Hazard didn't burst the ball, didn't hurt the ballboy, so where's the "violence" ???? FA = ****ing Appalling
same FA who banned Sir Alex more than any other manger .. and banned cantona for 7-8 months for a kick .. same FA that ban JT for half of what suarez did for same accusation? i wish if UTD were treated as your players and mangers escaped punishment softly over the years
i think it's utterly hilarious that you think Cantona's ban for blasting somebody in the face was unfair
What the ballboy did was wrong but then he is not a professional. Hazard is and should have had enough discipline to control himself. He kicked the ball but hurt the kid too. He is not a malicious player but he needs to be punished. I don't think he should get more than 6 matches
Apart from Lily Alan's dad being famous is there any other reason why this self over bloated karaoke singer should have any say?
