I've had a long hard think about last night and I now have a slightly different view (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 09:52:18
- The ball boy is irrelevant. What happened was correct, and Hazard is the dickhead (Other Football) - pants, Jan 24, 10:14:48
  - The ball boy is clearly not irrelevant is he? (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 10:44:28
    - Let's stick to the facts, he's retrieving the ball, and the player pushes him over (Other Football) - pants, Jan 24, 10:46:38

    - Erm, yeah, pretty much. If the crowd don't return the ball, and delay the match (Other Football) - pants, Jan 24, 10:27:03
    - Why does one party always have to be blameless for another to be at fault? (Other Football) - Jim, Jan 24, 10:23:00
      - The case that's being made is, the kid should have just been pushed over and taken it (Other Football) - pants, Jan 24, 10:30:20

        Yep, in that the ballscrote's stupid behaviour has a correlation with the state... (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 11:25:35

        Yep - that's a fair point. (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 10:45:37
      - This is true, and Hazard can't have been aware it was a 17-year old tosser when he kicked (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Jan 24, 10:27:39
- Pat Nevin called himself a guardian reading liberal this morning, then went on to say that (Other Football) - Adster, Jan 24, 10:06:53
- Agreed - appealing to the ref acting liked he'd been shot - cunt! (n/m) (Other Football) - Kirrie, Jan 24, 10:00:07
  - Pat Nevin pot on this morning (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 10:01:38
    - VMT. BBC refused to show any other camera angle which would have shown the truth (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Jan 24, 10:02:50
      - The truth being he kicked the kid in the ribs? (Other Football) - Jim, Jan 24, 10:15:20
        
        both to blame. both did the wrong thing but the ball boy more to blame imho (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Jan 24, 10:25:02
        
        He didn't kick him in the ribs - the lad was milking it for all he was worth! (n/m) (Other Football) - Kirrie, Jan 24, 10:19:23
        
        He did. There is no way that a rationale human being can watch that footage and (Other Football) - Jim, Jan 24, 10:24:18
        
        did make contact even! Doh! (n/m) (Other Football) - Jim, Jan 24, 10:31:26

  - His ACTUAL JOB is to retrieve and return the ball. His ACTUAL JOB. (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 10:03:08
    - So getting pushed over whilst he was doing that, is like an appraisal of his work? (Other Football) - pants, Jan 24, 10:39:38
      - He was trying to get the ball off him and the ballboy was preventing him! (Other Football) - norway, Jan 24, 10:47:04
  - To be fair, he's felt contact so is entitled to go to ground. (n/m) (Other Football) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 24, 09:56:22
