Feel sorry for Hazard, clearly just frustrated, but you CAN'T be doing that.
The right thing to do would have been to appeal to the ref and get the ball boy removed. The kid would have ended up looking like a berk in front of millions and nothing would have happened to Hazard.
I'm not quite sure it's as bad as Cantona but it's going to be a significant ban.
the kid was lying on the ball, hazard kicked the ball from under him and took the ball.
the kid was mugged off, then we got the waterworks!
Now we have mark saggers saying he deliberately kicked a young ball boy. mark, he kicked the ball not the child.
this is complete and utter madness
His foot collided with the ball boys side, possibly his ribs, whether the ball is under him or not is irrelevant, you dont challenge the ball boy to win the ball.
Ballboys have been getting uppity for years now. That one who threw the ball directly at the crotch of the away player that time should have got a smack.
Well Hazard was clearly aiming for the ball, just cause the stupid boy threw his belly on top of it doesn't make it worthy of a long ban. If the brat had just done his job properly we wouldn't be having this discussion.
No doubt that the papers will go with the "Premier league footballer kicks child on floor" angle
hmm...I doubt Hazard was really thinking about what he was doing it and whilst the ball-boy was maybe being a pain he'll probably get some sort of punishment because you cannot just kick somebody like that in public no matter what the person is doing.
It will take the headlines away from a poor Chelsea performance and Swansea's success which is a shame (the latter)
So he can't deny that's not what he was doing. And he made the most of what happened, even gesturing to the ref as if to say "You have to send him off for that" before going back to laying on his stomach. Silly boy.
Sadly the papers will love it and he will probably get a three match ban.

Bloody Hell, a common sense post ! You'll get youself a ban for for that in here.
Has it? I'm currently watching it on YouTube.
That's what I thought but the wife quickly pointed out that he'd simply kicked the ball from under him .
Why was he lying on the ball for so long ?
Was it really a boy , looked like a bloke to me .

I'm guessing there will be. Can't see that anything will be done though.
