Are the Daily Mail trying to imply there's a link between rich kids and getting kicked by Premiership footballers?
Who cares if he's got an iPhone or a brand new car, that has nothing to do with the incident you ***** :/
I cannot believe they have posted the pictures from his twitter account of him on holiday in Las Vegas and buying an iPhone 5 and some Ralph Lauren towels!!
I guess only kids who's dads are rich act like that?
How are they relevant at all to him acting like an idiot?
Basically, I've come to the conclusion that Hazard must follow him on Twitter, because he obviously knew he was a bit of a rich idiot and he was 17 years old, because that makes it ok to kick him for acting a tool.
It's laughable, it's completely irrelevant how old he is or how well off he is, you can't go about kicking people that annoy you. This 'he deserved it' **** is utterly hilarious, lots of people annoy each other in every day life, you don't go kicking them and it's not really a good enough excuse for kicking someone, he wasted ~8 seconds of game time and acted a bit of an idiot, so it's ok to kick him and then after the game we find out he's 17, so that makes it even more ok because kicking teenagers is better than kicking children or old people, then finding out he made a few tweets a bout time wasting makes it even more ok to kick him. Come on guys.
Think how much time goal keepers waste and how frustrated the crowd get with them, is it ok for someone to kick the goal keeper because he's being an idiot and time wasting? The referee is going to add it on anyway. It's part of the game, as much as the ball boys time wasting is or them having towels for long throws. Deal with it. Ask the referee to add it on, make him aware of it.
Also, it's completely sodding irrelevant what Hazard does off the pitch, how does him earning X or whatever have anything to do with him losing his temper? I agree that he's paid a lot and is representing Chelsea, so he should be a bit aware of his actions, but jeez, don't kick a kid because you lost your temper, that isn't anything to do with how much you get paid, that's just losing your temper and not being mature enough or smart enough to deal with it.
Also, as a professional footballer, you train to kick a small object hard and accurately, it's literally a vital part of football. You really think footballers foul each other by 'accident' all the time? Hmm. Getting kicked like that by a pro footballer is a bit different to a guy off the street kicking someone like that, while a bit more accurate, it's going to be a fair bit more powerful.
I bet it was Peter Herbert that reported it to the police too
.
People defending Hazard are really just... meh. I can't even say, I'm not defending the ball boy, well, not in the sense he was an idiot, I'm just defending the point you can't go around kicking people for wasting ~8 seconds of a football match that will be added on. Also; now we know the kid is a rich tool, not just a tool.
I think Hazard could well face a longer ban, it wouldn't surprise me, but I think the red card is enough. Also, the referee literally followed the book on sending him off, so this crap from Gareth 'I don't know the rules of the game I play because I'm really stupid, but it's ok because I bike to work' Bale are pointless. As for Pat Nevin, brilliant, you'd kick a child for wasting ~8 seconds of your life.
What Hazard should have done, is when the kid went down like a cheap hooker, he should have pointed and made fun of what he did, that would have shown the idiot up and probably got him in some trouble, then walk away and talk to the referee about time being added on.
I've had a drink /rant over.
