Kicking a midget

I think I have seen everything now. Chelsea v Swansea, Eden Hazard gets sent off for kicking a ball boy in the kidneys. Great stuff. Anyone else witnessed a more bizarre sending off?

 

Most bizarre part was the moves the kid was practising.

It's a ball, not a sheep, lad

 

Hazard's sly dig hardly compares with Eric Cantona's flying kung-fu kick on the Palace fan.

 

To be fair, I don't think anything will ever compare to that moment.


In terms of bizarre sending offs, not quite on the same level, but the Foriestieri sending off against Watford at home was pretty mad - first yellow for running down a free kick, second for diving. Also I think it was Nardiello who was sent off last season for Exeter, for swearing at the lino.

 

I remember that- he was still giving the lino dog's abuse 3 or 4 minutes after the incident, which I don't remember.

 

Two others that stand out were Mackenzie (MK Dons) getting sent off for headbutting Kermorgant, then a few games later Beattie (Sheffield United) getting sent off for strangling him

He must be such a bastard to play against

 

The Hales/Flanagan was pretty historic, never to be forgotten.
