Hazard vs Ball Boy

A Dub in Glasgo

It really is cringe worthy looking at the football 'community' go in a rage over the actions of the ball boy. Almost every game in the EPL and associated cups has timewasting and general rolling about feigning injury from very well paid professional footballers. They are a bunch of feckin hypocrites

I suppose Fergie is saying Hazard could have killed the boy!

If you had said that at 10 o clock last night it would still have been old.

Its pathetic. The Premier League is fast becoming Eastenders/Corrie for men. All they care about these days is the drama, bitching, affairs, racism and other sensationalist tripe. A shadow of the game it once was.

There's not much else Hazard is to do in order to get the ball, if he throws the ball 'boy' off of the ball people would be up in arms about that too.

Caveman1

Here's an idea, just forget about it, let Hazard do his 3 game ban for the red card and leave it at that.

No doubt though the FA will see it defferent & in 6 months time get around to lenghtening the ban.

Which is why he should have done nothing physical. He could have gave his view to the ref

No, no he isn't.

Just a light-hearted comment. I'll temper them in future. Thanks.

Banning the boy from what? It was his last game apparently

Apparently he is the son of one of the directors of Swansea football club, so he probably got the job because of daddy. He clearly showed how unsuitable he was a ball boy with his brat antics. Hazard was wrong, but he was provoked by this idiot ball boy. I have never before seen anything like him laying on the ball to stop Hazard (Chelsea) getting it back.

All the diving and feigning injury of players gets plenty of rage from fans too. There's nothing hypocritical about giving out about the ball boy feigning injury.

There is when it is the footballers themselves who are giving out, that is what I meant by the fooball 'community'

As an aside, I do not know anyone who would give out about their team wasting time if they were about to go through to a final against one of the top teams in Europe. Do you?

Ah I see, didn't realise what you meant by "community." Yeah I agree that any footballer who feigns injury criticising the ball boy for feigning injury would be hypocritical.

I don't have any real problem with time wasting so I wouldn't give out about that, but I would give out about any players from any team I support feigning injury like that ball boy did. So that is one person I know.

The more I see the close ups the more stupid this ball boy looks.

He is 17 yet I would expect more from 7yo.

I agree that the ball boy looks stupid, but bottom line is Hazard should not have gone near him and I believe the 3 match ban will be enough and then he can move on.

Yeah his dad is a Swansea director and multi-millionaire. Ballboy seems like a right spoiled little pr!ck.

You can't go doing what Hazard did but I'd be lying if I said I felt one bit bad for the ballboy.

Finally, someone makes sense. Well said A dub in glasgow.

Most people in this thread said the ball boy was an idiot. But every professional player does it.
It can be the keeper who takes an age to take a goal kick. Or the full back who decides to wipe the ball to make sure its dry, and take a big huge run up before a super throw in. Or just the clown who has been fouled and rolls around, to waste every second.

Why is this allowed on boards.ie? I once got banned for something so similar. Except it was about a footballer.

But youre definitely right, the ball boy deserves the abuse! 100% deserves to be bullied.

Crazy 24 hours. Spoke to Hazard and I will not be pressing charges. Be in touch

Charges, ffs.

Moneymaker

It's cringe worthy this thread is 11 pages long.

Zico

If it was a Bradford player nobody would give a crap.

That said, when you're paid more in a week than the town generates collectively in a year, you shouldn't expect sympathy... or equality... frankly he's lucky not to be locked up pending a bail demand which only a Russian oligarch could afford.

thebaz

apparently he didn't even touch the ball-boy - he kicked the ball according to a new camera angle - doesn't matter , he plays for Chelsea, showed some passion , is a millionaire - so ban him for 6 months - thers people complaining to the police who have no connection to either party , just bitter jealousy of a talented footballer

Jelle1880

That new camera angle just shows he also hit the ball, it's still clear he hit the lad too.

Diabhal Beag

I heard from my source that Hazard will be punished by going to Blackburn on loan for 12 games.

Can you not see a massive difference between a goalkeeper or outfield player and a feckin ballboy? Does it have to be pointed out to you?

Football players have earned the right to influence football games, as distasteful as time wasting tactics are, and they've earned this right by singing their professional contract. If they are deemed to be time wasting, they suffer consequences, yellow cards for diving, even straight reds now for time wasting in the ACN. The ballboy has absolutely zero business getting involved in a football game with thousands of pounds at stake. He is there solely to return the ball back into play in a timely fashion. This lark of lying on a football to stop another player from retrieving it is something I have never seen in any football game, ballboy or outfield player.

Having said all that, I still think the red was justified for lashing out at the cheeky scrote a 3 game ban will suffice....but part of me now wants the red to be rescinded, just so the media and the Helen Lovejoy brigade go off into the sunset with their tails between their legs (though doubt that would ever happen)

JimsAlterEgo

it it was a player holding the ball after falling on it, it would have been a red too. 3 game ban, move on.

The opposite would happen. They would be out for blood. Leave it at the three games, a fine for Hazard and a fine for Swansea. Forget it and move on. It was a stupid thing to do, but does not warrent anything more.

GavRedKing

Think this has more then run its course.

• Hazard was wrong in what he done
• Ballboy was wrong in what he done
• 3 game ban and fine should be applied,nothing more.

Life goes on and a new story will be printed this weekend after the FA Cup 3rd round and as such, life goes on.
