The rhetoric on this is getting embarrassing (not here, but out in real world
)
talksport reporter who was at the game compared it to the cantona kick. Obviously drug taking has now extended to football reporters, seeing things.
Hazard went to kick the ball, foolish, but he was not aiming kick at the ball boy. I thought red was harsh, but it is what it is, judgement call. Dealt with.
But what sort of lesson are we teaching people? That cheating is acceptable. That is what the ball boy was doing. For all those baying for more punishment, they seem equally incapable of seeing the big picture.
what next, do we cheer wimbledon ball boys when they deliberately not give the balls back when a British player's opponent is wanting them?
As to hazard, yes stupid, and yes punished for the stupid act.
I can see the oscar going to the ball boy, so watch out for new year homurs and a knighthood for him
