Re: What a joke.... He was trying to kick the ball out from underneath IMO, and it was only a little toe poke. What the **** did the ball boy think he was doing, other than cheating as said above?
Re: What a joke.... If that's your take on it Supertyke I assume you were watching it with your eyes shut. It's blatantly obvious what happened, the ball boy chose to behave like a little pr*ck (doubtless another shining example of the wonderful influence of professional footballers as role models), and deliberately laid on the ball to prevent the Chelsea player getting it off him quickly. Hazard then did what we've all done in similar situations right from when we were kids, and tried to toe-poke the ball out from under the lad, at which point the lad showed there's a big future for him in the game by rolling around and acting like he'd had the mother of all kickings. It was a ridiculous sending off, and one which I hope Chelsea appeal so it can be correctly overturned.
He's right though. Nice to see our future players are being taught the values of sportsmanship and fair play.
Looks more like a toe poke than a kick to me - either way he was stupid to do it and the ball boy was being an idiot by lying on the ball
Re: What a joke.... Seriously? I think he should get a lengthy ban. In the order of a 10 or 12 games would be about right. Absolutely no need for it.
Seriously? Wow. For trying to get the ball back in a manner that the ball boy has probably done himself many times with his mates. Probably silly to do it as he knows the furore it causes but doesn't look like any malice to me. 10/12 games is a ridiculous call.
Is it eck. I have seen it a fair few times and don't see anything but a poke at the ball, which squirms out so he must have connected.
Pretty sure every clip I've seen shows the front of Hazard's boot disappearing under the kid and the ball appearing out the other side. That'll be him toe-poking the ball out from underneath the kid then. It's crystal clear what happened, good grief we've got some bleeding hearts on here tonight. Either that or those with a hatred of Chelsea that makes them unable to see what's right in front of their eyes. I've not time for the club myself, but what happened to Hazard tonight was not right.
Course they are, far easier than dealing with actual crimes/criminals innit? Thought they'd have learned a lesson after the Clattenburg farce.
Re: What a joke.... What an utter patronising ***** you really are supertyke. I thought your assumption was a bit far fetched to say the least.
