Capital One Cup Semi-Final - 8/9/22/23 January *** Spoilers ***

[Tom84]

lol Hoddle just called the ball boys bent

 

[BaZ87]

I wonder if your reaction, or the reaction of others would have been the same had that been a Liverpool ball boy .

Yes because I'm very pro Chelsea, aren't I?

 

[Bloodshot]

Ball boy looked like a chav. 1000 points to Mr Hazard.

 

[Robbo]

Could have been worse, John Terry could've come steaming in with some racism then Ashley Cole could have shot him.

 

[sargatanas]

Glad Swansea won, but Hazard didn't kick the ballboy, he hit the ball, hence why it came out the other side a little.

Yellow tops in my opinion, but no doubt it'll be blown all out of proportion.

[No1newts]

Hmm... The kid doing this on purpose shines a new light on things.

Hazard still deserves a ban for kicking a kid but the kid should be banned from matches for a long time pulling a stunt like that.

 

[Tummy]

Terry is too busy spending time with the ball boys mum .

 

[Cosimo]

Ok I'm going to leave this here because if I say what I want to say it'll likely be the last thing I say on these forums

If you're not man enough to say what you're thinking then it can't be worth hearing.

 

[syke]

Kid probably wanted to go out with a bang in his last ball boy game.

 

[Danthus]

Chelsea's official Twitter:

How stupid are Chelsea to put that out.

 

[Tummy]

That tactic worked well for Terry and Ferdinand.

 

[Basher]

How stupid are Chelsea to put that out.

How is it stupid

 

[Purdy]

If thats the kids twitter my initial reaction of should have kicked him harder would be correct, what a little ******

 

[Loki]

Bloody Hell this thread has crashed pretty quick

 

[RoboSprog]

When I saw it, it looked -very- much like the kid was slowing down play, which does happen, before Hazard tries to grab ball off him then resorts to shoving him to the ground. He had a hand on his back and was obviously pushing down. When he's lying on the ball as he fell on it, he gets kicked in the ribs quite powerfully. That wasn't a "poke", that was a kick and if an athlete who trains every day to kick a ball as hard as he can and as accurately as possible kicks you, that's going to hurt a lot more than a normal person. There is no way he could have reached the ball. He deserved a red card and anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves, that's assault and hopefully Hazard gets a similar punishment to Cantona.

How you can defend this is beyond me, honestly.

Pity for Chelsea that Torres wasnt going for the ball, he probably woulda missed

Pretty sure when Cantona got band for kicking that bloke who was abusing him, cant recall many saying at the time that Cantona was right as the bloke deserved it.

Totally should just kick everyone we think is an idiot.

Only you would know.

I would understand why someone might want to kick a racist or an ********, but you just can't go and do it. Cantona was punished because assault is bad mmkay.
