Chelsea player sent off for fouling ball-boy!

[Now there's a right un.]

And the award for the best fall down, roll on the ball and pretend to be mortally wounded by the boot of a footballer goes to......

 

Referee!!! He made contact with the ball first....??

 

Enough to make you weep....

Never saw the game but caught the "action" on the box this morning, what the ball boy did re wasting time happens at every game in every league in this country so to try and blame him for the incident is wrong, maybe he did hang on too long to the ball but jeez theres no excuse in the world which anyone can use to justify Hazards behaviour, that guy was just a prize prat last night and really as it involved a member of the public and not a pitch side playing member the police should have been involved (shades of Cantona's drop kick)

 

The icing on the cake this morning was Pat Nevin former Chelsea player and now commentator trying to justify Hazards actions

It seems that Swansea send their ball boys to the same drama coach as their players.

Having said that the player was stupid.

It just reminds me why I so much prefer watching rugby football to soccer

The boy is a cheat, club should ban him.

 

Player was trying to get ball back, no action to be taken.

 

It's the same old story, someone fouls, player reacts and player gets punished.

The boy is a cheat because he is involved in a game where cheating is considered normal and encouraged.

Every player on the field will cheat if he thinks it will give him an advantage and they are encouraged in this by management, in fact it forms part of their training.

This from a friend of mine who is a retired professional player.

Eden Hazard had every right to kick the boy when he wouldn't give him his ball back.

I did exactly the same thing at playgroup when I was 3

I see that the videos of the incident have been removed for 'copyright' reasons. Handy, that
