What's everyone's views on the ball boy incident last night??
They were both at fault in my opinion. The ball boy is the son of one of the directors of Swansea City and a very rich and spoilt young man by all accounts. Apparently, prior to the game he posted on Twitter "needed for time wasting"....so, not a lot of sympathy for him!!
The beautiful game is highly charged and the players full of adrenaline, there are bound to be incidents.... Eden Hazard (what a great name!!) was red carded, punishment enough I think. All is fair in Love and war....and football! 😆

I disagree I'm afraid: Hazard shouldn't have done what he did no matter the provocation - that's why there is a referee, he could have hurt the kid. Doesn't matter that retrospectively we find out that he was 17 (still legally a minor btw), a bit of a spoilt millionaires son, the son of a club director and intending to time waste. He could have been 12 years old, a nice kid and got hurt.
Hazard deserved his red card and should get further punishment - The FA have to protect ball boys and girls who in the main are a lot younger (and I would be saying the same thing if it had been an Arsenal player). There is a duty of care towards the kids and they can't let players physically challenge them in any way.
of course this is just my opinion - I'm sure others will see the incident differently.
Gooner
I think that the ball boy was an idiot and should be banned by Swansea for ever, however I also agree that Hazard should not have done what he did - I guess he saw a red mist and just reacted badly.
I think he will be banned for many games and the boy will get a huge payout from one of the Sunday papers
I'm with Goonerplum all the way on this.
