The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

If a goalie threw himself on top of a ball lying in the net to prevent a quick restart - shemozzles of this sort are a common feature of the game - and an opponent did what Hazard did, he'd be sent off.

Exactly.

It happened off the field of play so in common law it's assault.

He got the ball!
A professional footballer could make a very good case that he was simply using the tools of his trade to accurately remove the ball from the cub.  He looks as if he was in control at all times, pitched out the ball and lifted it up.  If the cub hadnt acted as if he was mortally injured then there would be limited talk now.  Could you imagine the ballboys at wimbledon doing the same?  However if it were Suarez Id be for locking the fecker up.

How many pages are we on?

How many pages did the Cabaye and Ferdinand incidents get? Just wondering.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard charged by FA following incident with ball boy in League Cup semi-final against Swansea.

What about, what about, what about?

Not arguing he was wrong to get involved. However you question the consistency. Not sure what's wrong with that.

Good decision, he's already got a red and three match ban. Everybody has got their piece of meat.

Conor Clifford released typical anti Irish Chelsea

Seen that earlier, and was waiting for that comment! 

Feel sorry for the lad. Was very, very good in the youth team, but just didn't seem to develop physically. I knew the writing was on the wall when he didn't get games at the Clubs he was on loan for which was Portsmouth, and Colchester I think.

Chelsea did him a favour releasing him now and not the summer coming when his contract expired. Hopefully he works out for him.

In Rafa we trust

Howard Webb doing a pretty good job too!

I see Rafa is at his ranting again. He just can't stop himself.
