Swansea should be given a hefty fine IMO .
 
The role of ball boys is to get the ball back in play asap .
 
Clubs are now looking at this as another way they might be able to influence the outcome of games which is totally unacceptable .
 
Guidelines should be given to clubs and they should be monitered .

Its not technically cheating - it is blatantly cheating

 

Football is fucked - truly and utterly fucked

 

Players cheat, managers cheat, ballboys cheat - and its all accepted as long as it goes your way. Refs are incompetent buffoons, prices are fuckwittingly absurdly high, players get paid many many times their ability level for the most part, agents leech cash from every orifice of the game, owners/boards play infantile games with money like a kid with his new monopoly board - and worse than all of that - we have the governance of the game being set by the most slimy of hapless reptilian creatures who shamelessly purge the ethos, the fans and the very soul of the game for their own rancid ends.

 

If you tolerate it when it goes for you - don't bitch like baby when it goes against you.

 

But its what fans do best - accept, tolerate and even defend what they purport to hate

spot bloody on Scram

[Triplej2]

This is summat and nowt, I've seen similar before. It's one for the press to be fair.

Look if you can't stop beating around the bush I'm not going to read your posts anymore 

 

 

 

You've summed it up perfectly...........well said

 

 

Hazard was stupid and deserves his ban, but I wonder if he would have had a pop at a fifteen stone six foot ex minor who had kept hold of the ball in the stands? I think not.

 

pretty much describes this lad

Ha ha my bad!
It all makes the game grubby which ever way you look at it, time to sort it FA but I won't hold my breath.

[RuddyNora]

yeah that ballboy was a little chav - he deserved a kick in the rubs for being a coont

I bet he 'wants change' innit

[edmontonowl]

Wonder if Max Clifford will get involved to defend the chav............. errr.............. LAD errrr.....................ball-boy

What's with the MASSIVE defence of Chelsea.

 

The ball boy shouldn't have done it, doesn't mean Hazard should have reacted like that.

 

It's a sending off, full stop.

 

Not Full Stop. Swansea employ and are responsible for the behaviour of their ballboys. As far as the FA are concerned, they should bre considering the possibility that this type action had been discussed pre-match with the ball boys.  Failure to control their staff who are clearly trying to influence the outcome of the game should result in aheavy fine for Swansea.

Full stop

I agree however the difficulty would be in proving that it was discussed prior to the game or its a comment by some wee wee tail-sure teenager giving it the big one.

 

The sending off undoubtedly changed the balance of the game at the time.....even as poor as Chelsea were last night the possession stats were immediately turned on their head after Hazard was sent off so to me every chance they had of getting something from the game from there on in disappeared.

I actually am not a big fan of Chelsea's in any shape or form and perhaps Hazard should not have been so over zealous but when its blatant time-wasting but lets be fair he's there to to win a game for Chelsea and not be pissed about by some kid making a name for himself for the wrong reasons.

 

Like everything else that changes in football these days most things happen retrospectively after the event which what makes the modern game a joke.

[fudge27]

The ballboys tweets might come back to haunt him. Still doesn't excuse Hazard's reaction mind.

[Sheff Owl]

Charlie,  have you been injured in a work accident that wasn't your fault?

[DobbinTheDonkey]

I blame Jimmy Hill.

[sten]

I don't think the FA have to prove intent on the part of Swansea WatfordOwl. It's their fundamental responsibility, he is part of their staff and there has to be some kind of punishment, in line with the sending off.

Making him live in Swansea for the rest of his life should do it.

[WatfordOwl]

Hahaha And down that neck of the woods ain't the greatest either mate 

 

It will be one of those were the FA make a statement 'warning' clubs and their employees to ensure fair play going forwards.....the game needed a fresh controversy now all the racism stuff has died down and this is it.

[Birstall Owl]

Looking at his girlfriend, I think he's punching above his weight.

 

Great post scram.

Great post scram.

Not when your parents own a 5 star hotel and own half of bloody Swansea.

[SiJ]

That podgy little fooker belly flopping on a ball was worth it for Scram's rant. 

 

Top stuff.

After seeing the swansea ball boy keep posession of the ball for longer than ten seconds,Sheff utd have made a £2 million bid

He is the son of Swansea's largest shareholder.

 

As of 2008, he stood to inherit £48 million.
