    Yes, I've seen the incident. He toepokes the ball and catches the kid who milks it by rolling as if shot. The fact it's already been dropped as a police matter shows how much of a violent assault it isn't.

    I am yet to see Hazard dive or making a meal of anything.
    I'm not surprised, you didnt even see him shoeing the ball boy.

    I'm not laughing at violent and dangerous conduct.

    How on earth did the ballboy end up lying on top of the ball? Did he trip and fall and land on it?

    Just watched the clip : the ballboy lay on top of the ball to stop a quick throw in from being taken I take it?

    Hazard deserved his red card without a doubt, but the ballboy was a disgrace for interfering with play.

    The kid who was pushed over, then kicked in the stomach, was a disgrace?

    You lads are really excelling yourselves tonight.

    He wasn't pushed over, he collapsed onto it to obstruct Hazard from getting near the ball.

    Then please mention when Hazard dived and made a meal of any challenge.

    ball boy goes for ball, hazzard goes to get it instead as the ball boy is taking his time, both collide and the ballboy falls onto the ball then holds it at the side, hazzard aims a kick at the ball and the ball rolls under the ball boy

    See my question above : I didn't see the match or how he came to be lying on top of the ball. All I saw was Hazard trying to retrieve the ball and the ballboy seemingly trying to stop him.

    I have litterally no idea what youre on about, I've been kicked in the stomach before playing football and the last thing I or anybody in their right mind would do is then lay on my stomach, the same when I've had stomach cramps.

    Get real, the kid should count himself lucky he has not been arrested....that's the view from majority of Swansea fans.

    Hmm, strange incident though I'd still be suspicious of the boy's motives (ie. presumably timewasting). Hazard 100% deserved his red card though.

    I'll let your old manager explain in a round about way

    Bit silly if he was timewasting. I know the thought of Swansea making the final is tantalising, but he should know the ref adds time accordingly at the end of normal time for incidents like that. And it's the minimal time amount, not maximum.

    He was definitely time wasting , he dropped on the ball like a ton of bricks then acted like he was somehow glued to the ball.

    The ball boy was a beligerent little sod. Had he done what he was SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE, i.e given the ball to the player, this wouldn't have happened. :cool:

    That was my immediate impression watching the clip.....Hazard trying to retrieve the ball but the ballboy doing his best to stop him (you usually see players using these timewasting tactics).

    Hazard was at worst unprofessional. You don't kick out, even at ugly little shits like this one.

    He was doing exactly as he was told to do, ie...hold on to the ball as long as possible. The other ball boys were doing exactly the same thing.

    It still doesn`t excuse a millionaire soccer player kicking him in the stomach though.

    Heat of the moment by the looks of it.

    Speedy throw ins though for all the Swansea players I presume? :rolleyes:
