Just to clarify, my post there was just in reference to the Cantona incident, I'm not saying the Hazard incident is comparable. Hazard is clearly more of a ****

I am not defending Hazard though. He deserved his red card, and deserves a suspension. I can understand the frustration though. And he is not the antichrist for this.
Well, the ballboy could have picked the ball up at first, but let the ball roll past him. And Skysports, after the game, showed another incident involving another ballboy a few minutes earlier who also held onto the ball for an unsually long time before throwing the ball too short to the Swansea keeper. A couple of Chelsea players reacted to that as well. So, either the ballboys had been instructed to take their time, or they took manner into their own hands.

He was obviously time wasting. If you watch the Laudrup interview it's pretty clear that even he says that the ball boy should have given the ball back straight away.
If you look at the posts from what is reported to be his twitter account it also seems obvious that he was planning to time waste.

BBC Laudrup quotes are just ultra-classy
"The ball boy should have let the ball go but he was pushed first and then he kicks him. As a player when you are behind your pulse is very high and sometimes you say and do things, you overreact. But there are some things you cannot do."
"What Bradford has done - there are no words. They have beaten three Premier League teams, it is marvellous. If I had a hat on I would take it off."
"Most of these players have never been to a final. I've been there a lot of times as a player and a manager and it is so different. It is absolutely amazing and you will always remember it. Even the ones I lost have been great."
You didn't lose many Michael...
"Yes. Well that is true..."

Well obviously the ball boy was in no rush, but he wasn't time-wasting. Would the extra 2 seconds have killed Hazard? He lost his head and deserves everything

Can't believe some are actually defending him. Then again there have always been a lot on here ready to defend the indefensible for the sake of an argument.
Just remember, if it had been on the field of play and he kicked out against a Swansea player like that, it would have been a red and no one would have argued.

I agree. Comes across like a gentleman. I can imagine a lot of managers who would have been ready to throw Hazard under the bus just to look tough and score a few cheap points in the press.

This incident will also deflect attention away from Demba Ba's shocking dive in the first half.

And now Chelsea apologise for their initial tweet about the incident.

Defending him? I don't see many here saying that he shouldn't have gotten the red card...
Most people are saying that the red was fine and that he should get a normal suspension. People are seeing that there's a difference between what he did and what Cantona did and that some of the reactions have been over the top.
Edit: Would you include Laudrup in the "trying to defend the indefensible for the sake of an argument" category?
