Isn't that a standard ban triggered by the card? Or is it the real ban, and we hear nothing more about it?

[Jack Uzzi 54]

My goodness this is hilarious. Especially the images of the boy claiming to be injured on the pitch.

I put it almost on the same level as Zidane headbutting Materazzi. Great stuff as well, except that it was really the stuff of legend, it being the very last act of his whole footballing career.

Great players have to do crazy stuff from time to time, it's like that. Still, I really believe that this was unintentional. Nothing more frustrating and irritating than somebody keeping the ball from you and time waisting while you want to keep on playing. He just wanted to kick it from under his body, that's all there is to it.

Automatic ban from a straight red card, we must wait to see with the FA is going to decide to give him more matches...

Think that was reported before the news came out about FA reviewing the incident.

No official word that Hazard will serve just a 3-match ban yet.

Too many pussies in football. No ofense to the ladies, but this is fucking frustrating.

Eden should've hit that twat in his 17 y old mangina.

Blame the ball boy, don't give Hazard a kicking - this 'kid' is everything that's wrong with modern Britain...

By Adrian Durham

So, a Chelsea player was sent off for kicking a ball.

Yes, a ball boy was lying on top of that ball to waste time. But Chelsea are the easy target, aren't they? The small club - the underdog - gets all the sympathy. If it’s a Chelsea player he’ll get the blame because nobody likes Chelsea.

The ball boy lets the ball roll past him for no reason, then blocks Eden Hazard off when he should just let the Chelsea man have the ball. He then, for no reason, flops on to the ball.

Hazard has no choice, and actually no damage was done, nobody got badly hurt. The ball popped out of the other side of the ball boy’s belly, Hazard kicked the ball, not the ball boy.Let’s face facts: this kid wasn’t content with his special night being ball boy at a League Cup semi-final – that should be enough in itself.

No, he wanted to go a bit further and be an overnight Twitter sensation. It was either drawing a Premier League player into a conflict by rolling around on the floor, or apply to go on The Jeremy Kyle Show. And as soon as he found out that at 17 (the oldest ball boy in the world?) he’s just too young for the Jezza Show, one of those Chelsea players was going to be in trouble.

Within minutes of the incident his Twitter account gained thousands of followers. That account shows him holding a can of cider, and describing himself as a 'lad.'

It also explains his ball boy shift was a one-off comeback to help out, and claimed he was 'needed for timewasting.' The stories that he is the son of a Swansea director, who owns the hotel where Chelsea were staying make him a perfect candidate for the next Celebrity Big Brother.

Don’t get me wrong, Swansea deserved to go through because they were easily the better side over two legs. But they didn’t need any help from the ball boy. Players waste enough time without some kid deliberately stopping the ball going back into play.

I’ll go even further: this kid is an example of what is wrong with Britain. A generation of kids with no respect whatsoever for adults. No respect for professionals trying to do their job. He’s being treated like a hero by some and labelled a victim by others. What a weird world we live in.

There were suggestions that the FA should provide neutral ball boys after this disgraceful incident. That’s how crazy the game has become. I can see why Hazard was sent off by the ref who missed a blatant penalty at Spurs on Sunday. But football is ridiculous sometimes.

The daily fail have posted three new articles on this not against Chelsea I hope this is a sign that people are finally realising how blown of out of proportion this really was.

[Kojo 4,676]

If his red card doesn't get turned down then there is something wrong with the FA seriously.

He literally did nothing at all, he didn't even touch the kid for fuck sake, that gif right there shows just about as much evidence.

[Rmpr 8,977]

People see what they want to see. That's why you're getting so many headlines about him kicking the ball boy when it seems pretty clear that he kicks the ball from under him. Should he have done it? Probably not, but Eden was trying to get on with the game and win it for us. He showed a bit of passion that was missing from so many other players' performances last night and some little shit was on a mission to slow the game down.

I'm never going to criticise a Chelsea player for caring too much about the performance and trying to get the win, especially when I don't think he's done much wrong. Honestly, I don't give a fuck how bad it looks on tv or how bad a PR disaster it is because I want players to play for the badge and give their all. That's what used to count to supporters of this club, not how shit affects the sales of fucking lunchboxes with Hazard's face on them.

It is not about the sales (they do count though), but it is about the conseguences being way more harmful than a supposed gain of 1-2 minutes in an already lost match.

The funny thing is that you wanted us to play with a mixed or reserve team not to affect more important EPL matches before the game, wasnt it? Now, you are not only OK with the bans Hazard will get, but you agree with it.

You are entitled to your opinion and I am done discussing this shit. Just dont think you are a better fan because you chose to protect Hazard and I chose to see that everyone was wrong in the whole situation...

[Rmpr 8,977]

You are missing the point there are no victms and villans. Everyone did something they werent supposed to, they all have their blame percentage (Foy, Faggot, Hazard, FA, Fans, Williams, etc). It is not about one being right and the other wrong....

I agree with most of what you said, it is just that I think there are more ways to see it than through Hazard's or Faggot's eyes. A neutral one that can see Hazard shouldnt have done that, but the "kid" was a cunt as well.

I only wanted to point that out, do not really want a discussion out of this!

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Have a feeling the club won't even appeal against the red card to be honest. Can somehow see that making things even worse. Take the ban, move on and forget about it. He did nothing wrong as far as i'm concerned, just the usual sensationalist media that goes along with Chelsea FC. There is absolutely no need for the FA to get involved, although they undoubtedly will. Hopefully they use some common sense for once.

At the moment, he'll miss Brentford, Reading and Newcastle. Not the worst 3 games he could've missed either.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Does he miss any big game by getting 5 or 6 games? If so, I bet Fergusson Association will make it happen...

[Gorando 184]

Hazard should get a reward for trying to end timewasting.

5 game ban would mean he'd miss City away.

[Rmpr 8,977]

5 game ban would mean he'd miss City away.

Alright, 5 games then!

I would have given a yellow card, but what its done its done...

[different level 1,056]

How about Swansea getting some kind of punishment as well? It was their retarded ball boy that caused the controversy after all.
