If you're a spectator and you venture onto the field of play during a game, your life is effectively forfeit; the players can do what they want to you.

If you're a spectator and you venture onto the field of play during a game, your life is effectively forfeit; the players can do what they want to you.He was a ball boy. His job is to sit at the side of the pitch and fetch the ball for the players/supply another ball. Not time waste.BUT... that in no way means what Eden Hazard did was right. As mentioned, he should have left it for the officials to deal with and add on any extra time incurred onto the stoppage time at the end of the match.

NEW.ERA Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I thought it was funny. Seems like one of those braty kids anyways, kinda like Harry Potter's cousin Dudley. And we all wanted to kick him in the junk. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's right our doesn't deserve to be disciplined, but I don't mind it at all.He's a year younger than myself. He's also supposed to be a professional. Like it or not, he's held to a different standard than some 14 year old punk on the sidelines. I'm not saying the kid is innocent in the matter, but there have to be boundaries.Heck, if Hazard doesn't go over there in the first place there's no reason for the kid to fall on top of the ball at all.

I just watched the video again... The ball goes out of play and rolls towards the ad board. The ball boy starts to jog for it, and then he decides he's just going to collect it off the bounce; which is fine. As soon as he bends over to grab the ball, Hazard is already on top of him. The bottom line is that there was no need for Hazard to try to race over there and collect that ball before the lad... unless you ask Chelsea fans who say the ball boy should have made the more of an effort for it (which is perfectly within the limits of home side advantage).I'm not a fan of the kid falling on the ball preventing Hazard from taking it, but there was no need for the Hazard to be there in the first place.

Saintsfan Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't disagree that Hazard stepped over the line in trying to recover the ball, but the ball boys job is to keep play flowing, to get the ball back into play. He was being a jerk, to an extent, he got what he deserved. Hazard got what he deserved by being sent off as week. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the end Saintsfan said it best...its the kid's job to get the ball back into play not to fall on it and waste time for Swansea.

Luton Town wins at Carrow Road.Wow.In fairness, it was more like Norwich reserves, but its always fun when a non-league team knocks out a premier league team in the Cup. Heck of an achievements for Luton. They have had some bad times recently, but where I the top division as recently as 1992, won the League Cup in 1988, and where in the Cup Final in 1959, when (fun trivia fact alert) Elton John's uncle scored a goal against them and then broke his leg. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marble21 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Spurs bring forward the Holtby deal. Were originally going to sign him on a free when his contract expires in the summer but the season ending injury to Sandro has meant they will now pay around £1.5m to secure his services now.Everton also look set to sign Leroy Fer from FC Twente for around £7m. For a club with basically no money it will be interesting to see whether they have to sell anyone to fund this move.

Kramerica Industries Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Galatasaray signed Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba in recent days, and will have the services of both when they begin their Champions League draw with Schalke 04.I must be missing something, because I thought that January acquisitions were not eligible for Champions League games.
