Exactly my thoughts, he's old enough to get married, old enough to drive and his profile picture is of him holding a can of lager do in his mind old enough to drink, people are acting like he's a 12 year old boy.

Going off his tweets he had this all planned and it wasnt sour of the moment.

The only thing I can say is his rolling around theatrics are a bit of a have a taste of your own medicine to all the footballers out there who behave in the same fashion.

I feel sorry for the way Hazard is going to be perceived by general public and press now, he didn't intend to kick the ball boy and I'm still not overly convinced that there was actually any contact.

The Daily Mirror gif thing looked pretty convincing.

I'm interested in the defence of age though - is there an age where it's OK to kick a teenager lying on the ground or it is fair game once they're over, say, 16? Because that seems to be the way the Chelsea section of the twittersphere are going - first he deserved it for timewasting, oh he's a kid, oh wait he's not a kid kid so yes - it's still fine to kick him?

Hazard didn't kick him, that's a massive exaggeration on the situation or at least the context the word is being used in. He barely swung his leg and tried to toe poke the ball, if he hit the kid it was not intentional.

If this "kid" was in the stands and ran on to do the same everyone would have been cheering rather than up in arms at Hazard.

Yeah agreed. He was obviously trying to kick the ball from underneath the ballboy (who was being a dick and should face some sort of punishment himself, if possible, for shielding the ball in the first place) so I reckon it's completely bollocks to state that Hazard's intention was to give the lad a kicking (that's directed at the press not anyone on here).

Doesn't stop Hazard from being an idiot for not seeing how it would be perceived though.

Can't believe I'm actually defending a football player here

Well, most 17 year-olds have the mentality of twelve year-olds. They're still immature emotionally. I just find it a little distasteful, some of the comments I've read about him deserving to be kicked and so forth. True, he was acting like a twat, and idolising his favourite players by milking his "injury", but that doesn't justify violence. And just for the record, I don't actually think Hazard meant to hurt him from the footage I've seen. He acted poorly, too, but I don't believe there was malicious intent.

Exactly... anyone who thinks Hazard was trying to hurt the prat who was lying on top of the ball has got this way wrong.
Hazard has said that he doesn't even think he made contact with the bloke. The ball popped out straight away and then the idiot ball-man starts rolling around to get Hazard sent off imo. His reaction is soooo OTT it is obvious he has been watching footballers for years.

I feel sorry for Hazard, he was just trying to get the bloody ball back, there was nothing mallicious in it. Now, if it had been Terry I may not be so open-minded...

At least Hazard didn't do a Cantona, that wouldn't have gone down well but he would've deserved the red for it!. Why are people outraged so easily?

Also, since when are ball boys 17?

But I'm talking about those who are commenting elsewhere in the context of a kick at the idiot taking place - 'deserved', etc.

I'm not saying the ballboy wasn't a time-wasting tit by the way. Kicked off the park and a stadium ban certainly. But on the presumption of a kicking (and the video I saw must be a bad angle because I thought the claim of a lack of contact was bobbins) all this rubbish about 'deserving' a kicking is more than a bit off.

Please. Bandying about words like that so easily diminishes real acts of violence and the plight of its sufferers.

Ramires committed a far greater act of violence during the match, almost breaking a Swansea's player leg and nobody seems to be mentioning it due to this farce.

Absolutely it doesn't, but maybe directorscut saw your post and thought it was referring to the incident, and not the twitter abuse. But i have to go with SHP and Harry Tuttle too; watching the replay of the incident the ballboy was over reacting without a doubt, and i don't feel Hazard had any malicious intent. If you see it from the front you can clearly see him trying to kick the ball from beneath the kid, but other angles it looks like he's giving him a right kicking. But its been taken out of proportion and the media is lapping it up bigtime. As someone else mentioned, you see far worse but no one talks about those.
