He didn't kick the kid. He kicked the ball.

He kicked the kid. Espn ( am watching abroad) just showed a closeup...kicked the kid , accidentally i dont know, but he kicked him. You cant do that, simple as.

Red will 100% stand, i doubt they will appeal.

neddynono

That kid will have his big interview on sky sports news tomorrow

Nemanja91

Chelsea players to wear 'Justice for Hazard' tshirts in their next match.

OctavarIan

A couple of scouts will be on the blower to that kid's parents now. He has a bright future with diving skills like that.

The Davestator

You know when commentators say 'yeah, but can he do it on a cold Tuesday in January against stoke'

Us Chelsea fans have our answer - they can't.
(I know it's Wednesday and Swansea)

That was outrageous, Hazard just wanted to get the game restarted and tried to kick the ball out from under him.

Could say that about any tackle tbh. Intent or not, Hazard booted him in the ribs. A kick out on the field at another player is a bookable offence. Doing it to a teen off the field is another matter.

jordainius

Both Hazard and the ballboy got what they deserved, idiots!!

GavRedKing

Ah well Swansea Bradford final.

G'luck.

Super-Rush

I'd say the ref got confused and thought it was Torres cos he couldn't kick the ball for ****.

what a joke of a red card..the kid deserved more than what he got..

It was childish behaviour from the 10 year old ball boy.
Hazard lashed out at a child, a red card should be the least of his worries. You need to be dispassionate with this situation, yeah your football team have missed out on a cup final but it doesn't excuse a grown man who is paid a handsome sum of money to play football lashing out at a child even if the child has made a meal of it.

He is a kid...you cant kick kids if you are a millionaire footballer.

What good is being a millionaire if you're not allowed to kick kids?

I love this, doesn't affect any team I like much and even though I disagree entirely with the red I just can't stop laughing at the situation.

MyBrokenKnees

If Suarez had kicked the kid the internet would have gone into melt down

missingtime

That kid will probably get a season ticket for life should swansea win this cup.

noodler

Okay - the kid really made a big deal of it.

Stupid by Hazard.

He was the one that kicked the lad even though the boy over reacted.

Hazard is a grown man launching a kick at a lad on the ground, it's pretty disgraceful!

All I can do is laugh at some of the comments in here, he didn't launch a kick at him or lace one into him as another poster incinuiated he attempted to kick the ball from under the ball boy, stupidly, who shouldn't have even been where he was in the first place.

On twitter: Fergie keeping a bedside vigil "he could have killed him"

It didn't fly out because he was lying on it, if he kicked him in the ribs the ball would not have moved.

So he just kicked the ball, and didnt kick the kid at all? He definitely caught the kid with the kick, hit the ball too but an idiot for doing the kick in the first place.

Kicked the ball under the lad , hows the view up there on your high horse ?

I can only imagine the low, repulsive things you do if you consider looking down on kicking kids as being on a high horse...

In fairness, there was no real threat of Chelsea winning this, let alone scoring 2 goals.

thats def one of the worst decisions i have ever seen..the ref should get a match ban for that decision

Kicking out is a red card offence no matter who it is against on the pitch or on the sidelines

Red card all day long, and should be given an extended ban with it.

Have you been hit by a Hazard at work that wasn't your fault? You could be entitled to compensation!

Exactly. As stupid as the whole situation is I can't see how people don't agree with it being a red card.

bannable offense? surely it is?

Gary Neville will be speaking next Monday about the great job the kid did in making sure his team got the maximum benefit from any contact there was.

Super-Rush

That poor young lad is going to get some stick in school.

Brilliant tv though.

Yawns

Had to watch the incident a few times just to make sure 100% that it wasn't Suarez in a Chelsea shirt there.

klose

Apparently this was a tweet from the ball boy 3hours ago before the game


@CHARLIEM0RGAN: The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting

Violent conduct is violent conduct. Be it against players, officials or fans.
It was a red but the was being ridiculous lying on it.

I am pie

It was petulant more than aggressive, still gonna be on the sharp end of a load of abuse.

What will be lost in all the ri ra agus rulla bulla is Swansea have been excellent tonight ,

Hazard will probably get longer than a 3 game ban by the FA (no chance it gets rescinded). The ball boy was being a total twat though and deserved a dig, tbh.

What? I take it your joking...
players been blamed these days for not caring, there was nothing wrong with that young lad, it might toughen him up a bit..harmless kick by hazard, barely touched the young lad, get a harder slap in the school yard..joke red card

Bloody fantastic, great to see
