Seriously I am sick of time wasting. Especially goal keepers taking ages over free kicks. I was at Arsenal vs Blackburn a few years ago and they started time wasting from the first goal kick, the atmosphere got very nasty, the stewards were on alert and the ref did NOTHING until towards the end by giving a yellow to the goalkeeper. He speed up after that. Last year Krul did the same (which led to the tiff with Van Persie when he scored right at the end).
We pay a lot of money to watch football and I am fed up with teams who do everything to avoid playing football.

17 is old enough to know what he was doing and the footballer was, in fairness, trying to get the ball from under him. He didn't go to kick him.

I already said it was an non event as both have apologised to each other. 6 of one etc..and some 17 year olds are by no means adult in their behaviour and attitude and Hazard is 22..Also having listened to the commentary Hazard DID kick the ball and the boy.
Anyway bored of this now.
