The Capital One Cup

[souliv]

He shouldn't be laying hands on a ball boy, nevernind kicking him. Yes, the kid was being cheaky, but its a game. A grown man is no more justified to shove and kick a child in a professional football match than hevis at a local park. It was a wholey disproportionate thing for an adult to do and they should throw the book at him.

Reckon the kid will get paid off double quick before the police get involved, and I also reckon the FA will charge Swansea if those tweets are genuine.

Huh?

[Vermilion]

I think it's fair to say referees don't always add on all the time that's sometimes wasted in games, that's why i wonder if they should operate a stop the clock system as soon as the ball go's out or play stops.

That way everyone can see the exact time the game will end, no ****in about, no Fergie time.

[Muddled]

So Muddled you condone adults kicking kids ?

No, not at all - but I don't think the punishment fits the crime.

[ChesterDave]

If it is genuine (the Tweet)- and an account has sent that tweet, you have to say its not a little lad. He is 18 in August.

The ball is in play something like 70 minuites on average during a game. That's a hell of a lot of stoppages.

Regardless of the obvious time wasting from the ball boy, hazard has kicked a child; that it is fundamentally wrong, it doesn't matter if he hurt him or not.

If he was my son I'd be wanting a chat with young Eden !

[Slinky Skills]

****ing funny though wasn't it!

Oh come on, Hazard is still a kid himself.

He toe poked the ball out from under the kid and the kid saw the opportunity to become a bit famous. Happened to me on parks millions of times as a kid. So much about nothing.

He probably will get the book thrown at him an'all which isn't fair. He just made a stupid decision

Although it is ****ing lovely to see them going on about someone else but Suarez for a change.

[Fivex]

Huh?

Well I mean investigate. Unfair advantage if its proved that it was premeditated.

Pales in comparison but the whole thing could get extremely messy.

I thought he was much younger.

[ChesterDave]

A subsequent tweet says he will be ball boy behind the goal each half.

Less sympathy now I know he is 17

What for the suggestion that they told the ball boys to waste time?

The officials should just add extra time on at the end of the game if they feel that time has been wasted deliberately

[ChesterDave]

I thought he was much younger.

Well the account that is doing the rounds in picture format tweeted a few days ago his 18th is in August, and his porfile pic is him with a tinnie in his hand, and previous tweets mention being hunover so I'd be surprised if he is 12 or 13.

He also has hideos amounts of fake tan.

Ah **** it I'm swayed. Should of kicked him harder

[Alex]

What ban did Cantona get? It's not the same I know. But it's still a player kicking someone off the pitch.
