Can you post a link to where this happened? It certainly wasn't at Swansea! Sorry JWM, but "should have gone to Spec-savers" springs to mind! Of course Hazard over-reacted in the heat of the moment but he did NOT kick the ballboy!
'Hazard's only crime is he hasn't kicked him hard enough' - Joey Barton Couldn't agree more! Swansea should sack him for bringing the club into disrepute on live television through blatent cheating...and for those who disagree, this is the Ballboy's tweet before the match: "Posting on Twitter before the game, the teenager wrote: ‘The king of all ballboys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting.'"
Having seen it several times from several angles, I am still unsure as to whether he kicked the ball, the player or both. Regardless of what he did kick it was bloody stupid.
17 and a ball boy, and he's boasting about it on twitter! Isn't it a bit like having a paper round in your 30's.
Wonky, I don't want to argue with you but if you watch, Hazard kicks out and immediately steps over the lad and picks up the ball that's been kicked out from under him! It's not rocket science, it's not even fancy detective work, it's glaringly obvious!
The more I watch it the more I side with Hazard and Chelsea ...I feel dirty, but I honestly, When you find out about this little **** it's hard to have sympathy for him. Proper silver spoon up the arse dickhead.
FFS Wonky, it honestly couldn't be more obvious. If you've seen it loads of times and still can't see it I'd do as Dave suggests and get your arse down SpecSavers pronto
Just watched it again and there absolutely, definitely is contact between Hazard's lower leg and the ball-boy. As the ball was under him and Hazard's leg goes above his body - contact is made.
The strongbow swilling ball boy is still alive (unlike Chelski's cup dreams) so please just get over it!! Ball boy was - by his own admission an attention seeking twat - and it worked for him. Can we please all let it lie, ffs?
How I agree with you. Having read about the buffoon in today's 'Daily Star' (it was in the garage where I was having a new battery fitted!!), he deserves everything he got and more!! I agree re Hazard has been set up.
No need to act like that Munky! There is no way anyone could be absolutely sure there wasn't any contact with the ball-boy when he kicked, at least be slightly open minded! Try kicking a ball out from underneath someone's body. There's at least going to be contact with the shin.
The ball-boy (or young adult as I would label him) is obviously a complete dick. This is clear for all to see, so even though it was the wrong thing for hazzard to do, I was perfectly comfortable seeing him take a little(and it was little) kick. He shouldn't be a ball boy anyway, he's 17 ffs. I'd genuinely be embarrassed to be his age collecting the balls, I know one thing for sure, back at that age my mates would've ripped me to shreads if I was on my little stool on the sidelines.
