I don't think the ball boy will damage the reputation of your club, we all know what an idiot he was, it is comments from some of your supporters like the one above that will do that. Shame as most of you seem a decent bunch, and its a shame this incident spoilt your run up to your final.
Glad I saw this - was just about to post exactly the same thing Have to say i thought rafa was good in his press conference yesterday as well. Much better than Brendan "Mr Integrity" Rodgers anway.....
Chelsea fans are probably fussing more about this than either Hazard or the aforesaid ballboy. Both were wrong. Both should be punished. The FA are a joke. Nothing new.
It wasn't your sense of humour i was questioning .... Its just that lots of people seem to be taking this way too seriously...i have read other posts from you that have made me laugh so apologies if i seemed to be having a dig. As for the phone example....if someone wishes to make a twat out themselves i would let them get on with it...if hazard had laughed at twat boy when he lay on the ball the outcome would have been different for him. I think people sometimes over react to twatish behaviour....loads of people seem to think the ball boy deserved a kicking....for laying on the ball. Others seem to think hazard is a child beater for trying to toe poke the ball out. I try to stay chilled ... Maybe its my hippy nature...maybe its cos i had a cancer scare a few years back or maybe its cos i am just annoyingly wrong. I fully agree about wanting to enjoy football without the ****
The anger comes from the FA's reaction. I laughed when it happened in the match, it's only the FA's ridiculous charge that annoys us.
By anger i mean the idea the ball boy deserved a beating...lots of people many non chelsea fans have made comments about him needing a good kicking...i get why chelsea fans are annoyed with the fa ...
He said the ball boy was a good lad who loved the club and the game and people sghouldnlt be too harsh on him etc. etc. To be fair, as a Watford fan I'm not going to be objective but I really don't harbour any animosity towards the the treacherous, two faced, money grabbing, disloyal, insincere, dirty lying bastard..........
tbf I agree with him, I'll call the lad a cheating little ****bag but that's about it. Not going to insult his lifestyle etc.
I accept your apologies and am glad I have made you laugh at times. I also have a hippie blood running through my veins, a vegi , nature loving, tree hugger. Sorry to hear about your cancer scare and my family have suffered from this awful illness as well so I know about it from first hand experience. OK enough of this we are supposed to be rivals lol
Anybody that finds it acceptable for the FA to charge Hazard for violent conduct after kicking a ball but yet appeal to UEFA to get Rooney's violent conduct ban reduced after whacking a Montenegro player from behind out of anger/frustration seriously lacks any morality.
Well we can agree that the FA's appeal of Rooney's charge was disgracefully hypocritical and irresponsible. The worst part was their pathetic justifaction that "an appeal process exists therefore we will use it" as if there is no need to consider being responsible in choosing whether to appeal or not, and yet they themselves will add on additional bans in their own appeal process if it meets their subjective standard of being "frivilous".
