Ballboy kicking... how did that happen then?
Discussion
I think he was being a t
t and trying to waste time on purpose. The player lost patience with him. However I don't think that kicking a child, who's laid on the ground, is ever a good idea for a full grown man. Particularly when he's being watched live by thousands and broadcast to millions.

Thought he was the oldest ball boy in the world at 17, with his father amongst the directors of Swansea.t and trying to waste time on purpose. The player lost patience with him.

Which is a shame as from what I read, Swansea were the better side, but now with this, he has brought the side disgrace.

Young lad emulates the footballers. They all swing the lead if they think they can get an advatage out of it, perculates all the way through.
Indeed the way that kid fell down was superb, any of the professional footballers that regularly fall over like they have been shot would have been proud of his performance. Chelski are simply bad losers, if they were comfortably winning then no one would have given a s
t if the ball was out of play. As for time wasting, Chelski had 88+ minutes of time to score a goal......I guess it depends where you draw the line on gamesmanship/home advantage. Ie Stoke ballboys gave Rory Delap a towel so he could dry the ball before a long throw-in, they wouldn't have given it to an away player. IIRC when Stoke were playing away once the home club moved the advertising hoardings slightly closer to the touchline to limit Delap's run-up.
The Chelsea players were complaining long before this incident that the Swansea keeper was taking too long to take his goal kicks, in which situation the ref would just add on time at the end of the game, which is what should happen if the ballboys are time-wasting too (and if a club regularly takes the piss fine them).

He just toe punted it to stop the 17 year old ballboy from laying on the ball and he did a very convincing 'dive'. t and trying to waste time on purpose. The player lost patience with him.

I have seen the small clip of the kick, also seen the tweet of the ball boy before the game that he was there to time waste.
So how did the ball boy end up lying on the ball in the first place stopping the player getting to it?
Ball boy was taking his time getting the ball back into play, Hazard tried to take it off him, pushing him to the ground and laying on the ball in the process. Hazard then kicks ball boy in ribs in frustration and ball boy does a "Suarez".So how did the ball boy end up lying on the ball in the first place stopping the player getting to it?

Hazard should not have done it deserves some punishment, but the ball boy really is a little s
t after reading up on his background, what he tweeted before the game, etc... why was he there in the first place?

The ball boy was the cheat here. The FA are charging the wrong person.
Correct. He deserved a clip. Now he'll never live this down.I don't think Hazard even kicked him, he toe'd the ball from underneath him.
