I think the point is that it doesn't justify the season long and life bans being suggested by some. It isn't the right thing to do and should be punished proportionately.
It depends on how the FA feel about it. I can see it being a 6 or 8 match ban.
This whole incident is going to go into 'Cliche Time' now.
I guarantee you over the next week, you'll be able to play Bulls**t Bingo, when the PR people get going, with the statements that'll come out, the photographs you'll see and the rest.
To be fair, the ball boy was being an annoying little sh*te. I would have picked him up and dropkicked him over the advertising hoardings if it was me. So Hazard was quite restrained.

From the clip it looks like the ball boy made a meal of it imo (and from his Twitter it seems he planned to waste time), but Hazard is a cock, he kicked him in the ribs! Thus should be charged with violent conduct. Not saying the kid wasnt hurt though.
Then again what do we expect when players act like that as well - waste time, refuse to give the ball back or pretend they've been shot/run over etc
I really, really wish that the UK media would stick to the facts.
They are calling this 17 yr old a child. The Young man is only 4 years younger than Hazard!!!
It really is sickening.
Yep, on this basis Southampton shouldnt be allowed to play Luke Shaw as he is a mere "child".
The twitter stuff seems to indicate he was brought back especially for this game to premiditatedly waste time and also possibly the son of the owner Martin Morgan.

Chelsea 60%
Swansea 35%
Ball Boy 5%
Assault?
Now the world really has gone mad

If someone makes a complaint, the police will investigate it.
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting a 7 match ban. It's possible I guess though.
According to his twitter He is currently doing exams .
Ludicrous. Charged with assault for kicking a ball from under someone lying on it?
He is guilty of being stupid, not some wanton act of criminal violence.
Video footage clearly shows him kicking the lad, it could also be argued he wrestled him to the ground.
Deepest Surrey I think you will find.
As I said earlier, I doubt he would be prosecuted, but if someone complains it will be investigated.
And you would now be in a cell.
Eric Cantona was banned for 8 months for kicking a fan.
He was already on the ground. The kick would never merit an assault charge daft as it was.
How is that relevant?
Do you watch the footy through inch thick specs or something - wrestled to the ground??
oh my goodness.
i suggest you watch the footage again

It would suggest he is a minor.
Ah, so now you want them to stick to the facts, yet when it's not involving Chelsea, you're happy to wind people up with speculation?
Righto, just so I know where we are
