Hazard kicks ballboy and is sent off

Why the what ifs? If Hazard had dragged someone out of the crowd and kicked him then yes that would be different. And?

What's so sacrosanct about the position of a ballboy that means no distinguishment exists between 12 year olds and 17 year olds?

If you think that you can draw ANY parallels between this complete non-event and a rape case then I really don't know what to say.

Analogies to rape?

This is getting worse

Might be time to lock the thread, won't somebody please think of the children?

Hazard didn't know what age he was a for me age is irrelevent. 12 or 17 doesn't matter. You cant lay your hands or feet on anyone. Thats it.

Thats a refreshing change.

All correct apart from the fact that the boy was already on the floor himself and not wrestled,.

My reading of it was that the ball boy was being intentionally slow picking the ball up so Hazard nudged into the side of him. Certainly not wrestled but it was Hazard's actions that caused him to be on the floor in the first place.

fair point. Bit of a difference between saying what if it had been a different club to saying what if he had dragged some bloke out of the crowd and kicked him. I was encouraging people to take their personal dislike of Chelsea out of it, you were completely changing the scenario.

And just because I don't really know what to say it doesn't mean I'm not going to share my wisdom anyway, you're lucky I've been out all day

......and a points deduction (in a pear tree)

Just a quick point that I dont think has been mentioned.
It was a goalkick to Swansea. The general idea is that the ballboy was stopping Hazard and Chelsea getting on with the game. That wasn't the case. The ballboy was supposed to retrieve the ball and give it to Tremmel.
Hazard had absolutely zero business going anywhere near him at all. FACT!

This is a dialogue of the deaf. You have entrenched positions and are never going to change. And frankly for the rest of us it is horribly dull. It is a stupid minor incident that has been blown out of all proportions. Any chance we can just leave it?
