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.
Hi District Line! There is already a thread about the Hazard incident on our board, I'm on my phone so can't paste the link but should be easy enough to find... I think there is a thread on every board about it to be fair!!
There's far too much political correctness in football nowadays, some snotty nosed chav tried to make a name for himself by lying on a ball. Hazard should have known better than to lash out, but the kid was a ****er and I'd have twatted him far harder. I'd have given him a yellow, though I can understand why he got a red, but the FA bringing a further charge of violent conduct after the ref already dealt with it is completely unnecessary and makes the FA look even more out of touch.
What he said .... even though he is known to have erectile dysfunction unless in close contact with a scooter ..
