Let's stick to the facts, he's retrieving the ball, and the player pushes him over

What happens after that, is just about irrelevant, yes

Hazard shouldn't be pushing anybody, anytime, at any point

The kid is irrelevant, he wasn't time wasting when he was being pushed over

Watch it again, it all happens very quickly, not just a kid diving on a ball

    - 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 - 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

      - 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 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
