Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

What should Hazard have done to get the ball back? I'm not suggesting he licks the ball boy but instead, what if the ball boy wants to lay there for a few minutes?

Would the referee have to get a different ball and add the time on?

That's assault of a minor, I can see this being a police issue. :lol:
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Hazard is a grown man, surely he could have just picked the lad up. I think it's a moment of madness from him and he is clearly trying to kick the ball and not the kid, but you just can't do that.

Comparing it to Cantona is over the top, Cantona has gone in to the stands to hurt a fan, Hazard has just made a terrible decision but I don't think he's tried to hurt the kid.

Actually, Cantona was walking past the fan after being sent off, and reacted to his comment. As all the footballers are telling us on twitter right now "it's all in the moment innit brrrrrap"

Ref would have sorted it, stewards would have removed the ball boy (probably to the cheers of the crowd).

I can see what Hazard is thinking, he wants to get the ball back with time running down, but a shocking decision to try and kick the ball out.

Comparing it to Cantona? Come on lads. Not defending Hazard, but Cantona launced himself at speed and studded a bloke in the stomach.

I'll reckon he'll get a 5-6 game ban.

He's holding a can of alcohol in his twitter picture, I think he loses the "defenceless child" card.

Cantona has still gone after him and intended to be violent. I don't think Hazard has tried to hurt the kid, he just wants the ball back.

the fan being a fully grown man who'd walked down about 15 rows to deliver his bete noir, this is arguably worse, solely because it was a child
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

I would still like to see another angle of the kick. People comparing it to the Cantona incident need to have a word with themselves :lol:
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

He actually grapples him to the ground first, the ball boy falls on the ball and winds himself, and then Hazard kicks him the stomach. All quite clear to me.

A child attempting to look big in a social media picture?


Well i never..

Agreed about the comparison to Cantona, who kicked a grown man with a lot more aggression. Hazard has kicked a child, some would say that's worse. If its only 5-6 games, I'd be surprised.

With nowhere near as much force as Cantona. I don't condone hitting/kicking children in the slightest, but the two incidents are not comparable IMO.
