What did the ball boy do wrong first? He didn't even have a chance to kick it to the keeper before Hazard tried to wrestle the ball away after that he has acted like a taco by laying on the ball but none of this would have happened if Hazard wouldn't have went over to try and get the ball
Can we stop calling him a ball "boy" please? He's a ballbloke.
I think it was acceptable.
What did Hazard do wrong? The ball boy started humping the damn ball - Hazard tried to retrieve it he couldnt get it so he tried to kick it out of him (and not the ball boy).

Technically he was time wasting. However, it wasn't the worst example ever of this and if it was a player doing the same thing I expect we would have seen mild booing from the crowd at worst.
He did fall on the ball but this was after Hazard got involved. Again at worst this was maybe simulation if some kind. If it was, what goes around comes around Eden.
So technically he did one or two things wrong but my point is that the professional footballer would have beenexpected to act better regardless of what was going on.
Make the kid go to bed at 6 every night and take away his XBox for all I care but Hazard should have the book throm
There should be an age limit on ballboys. 13 would be adequate. Seriously though, you would have thought that 17 year old would be embarassed about being nearly twice the age of the other ballboys.
Thought his twitter said he was only doing it because others were unable to attend due to snow and ice and crap.
He should've gone to the ref mate. He put himself in the firing line and ended up costing his team a man for three games. As I said repeatedly, the ball boy is an idiot who should not escape punishment either. Both wrong.
Oh come on - you know and I know the ref would have just waved the situation away.
Its like saying "If you hear racist chanting - go to the ref" - whats the ref gonna do? report it? and then? Hazard wanted the ball to get the game restarted asap. He kicked the ball not the kid anyways.
You can just imagine UEFA in a few years insisting on professional, neutral ball people
