Eden Hazard

[DONI. 1,291]

This one made my day,great news

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I wouldn't call it 'good' news, as a three game ban was ridiculous in the first place. But still, at least we can move on from this situation now.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Newcastle game is his last game of the ban luckily. So next weekend hopefully we can have hazard and moses back, which should really get our attack back to:

Moses Mata Hazard

Ba

Just got to worry about the whole defensive thing.

The FA is only trying to save their face after being exposed for being lenient with similar cases in the past.

Anyway, good news! Will have him back against Wigan next weekend.

Phew.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Weird double post lol.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Sanity prevails.............

[Hamilton 2,120]

Finally some good news on deadline day..

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yup big relief only 3 game ban

[Stats 7,059]

How this was ever into consideration that he could get an extended ban was ridiculous. He got sent off, that was final. He apologized to the ball boy and they clarified between each other what happened. Final. The FA love to cause a scenery. Would have been a complete farce if he got an extended ban. We have him back for Wigan now anyway: most positive news

[Rmpr 8,977]

I AM SO HAPPY HE "ONLY" GOT 3 GAMES!

[Jase 43,479]

Feels like a new signing...

CHELSEA STATEMENT ON HAZARD RULING

Posted on: Thu 31 Jan 2013

Chelsea Football Club has received the independent commission's ruling that Eden Hazard will not face further sanctions following an incident at the Capital One Cup semi-final at Swansea last Wednesday.

Despite our disappointment that the FA felt it necessary to take it as far as today's hearing, Chelsea are satisfied that good sense finally prevailed and no extra games were added.

The FA released the following statement:

'Chelsea's Eden Hazard will not have his standard three-match sanction for violent conduct increased.

Following a hearing earlier today [Thursday 31 January 2013], an independent regulatory commission was of the opinion the existing three-match sanction for this offence was sufficient.

Hazard was charged by The FA following his side's League Cup semi-final at Swansea City on 23 January 2013.

The FA alleged that Hazard's behaviour in relation to a Swansea City ball boy, for which the player was dismissed in the 78th minute, constituted violent conduct whereby the standard punishment that would otherwise apply was clearly insufficient.

The player denied the charge and the matter was dealt with at a non-personal hearing.

The FA will be reminding all clubs of their responsibilities in ensuring ball boys and other personnel around the pitch act in an appropriate manner at all times and The FA will be liaising with competitions accordingly.'

[robdog 2,084]

just curious, has the ball bloke or Swansea been spoken to by the FA? IMHO the club is at fault. Most Ball kids around the Globe give the ball back to the players & not rolling around on the ground preventing players from retrieving balls
