Let's just make one thing clear here... he didn't kick the ball boy like everyone's saying, he was kicking the ball out from under the ball boy, who was the 17 year old son of one of the club's co-owners (and had said before the game on twitter that he was "#needed #for #timewasting"). He might have gotten a small touch of his ribs with his boots in the process, but ffs, even the ballboys are diving these days.

Everyone's going on about "how often do you see someone get sent off for kicking a ball boy?"... well how often do you see a ball boy picking up the ball like he's a rugby player jumping into the ruck, and smothering it under him to waste time? ******** deserves to get kicked even harder.
So, you're condoning assault then? At then end of the day, if this wasn't on a sporting field, the offender would be charged by the cops.

If it wasn't on a sporting field, it would be a non event. No ball = no incident.

if this happened off the field of play it would be a 17 year old who parks cars at a restuarant, he refuses to give back the keys to the car so the owner hits him in the face

totally fine imo

The kid has won out of this anyway. He obviously wanted people to think he's a rebel or something like that and getting himself in the media to this extent will have him fapping. An unfortunate error in judgement by the player even though consensus is that he kicked the ball out. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

This is blown out of proportion. Hazard was trying to kick the ball free from underneath the kid. It looks worse than it really is. He received a red card which is punishment enough.
It was blown out of proportion, But he could of dealt with it different, at the very least if he wasn't prepared to ask the ref to sort it out, he could of just grabbed the kids jacket and pulled him away. But we all make a mistakes in life.
