Premier League 2012/13 general thread

. Hazard simply made a bad call at a time of huge emotion.

That is no excuse . I've been to loads of football games and grounds and it happens in everyone of them, even Chelsea ; where the ball boy/girl will waste time if the home Team are in front, I wouldn't say to much but the players do this has well themself's .
You do not kick the ballboy or even try and force the ball from them- that is asking for trouble both on and off the pitch, never mind letting the floodgates open for the press and the people that hate the game

Stop being a troll. People make mistakes, they are not robots. Deal with it. Nobody is excusing Hazard, he was wrong but there is no need to throw the book at him. Red card, handshakes, case closed.

Ball boy - 17
Hazard - 22

There isn't a massive differences in their ages and both have admitted to making mistakes.

Not being a troll at all , just giving my view ; I would expect better from you since you've been called a troll in football threads for only giving your view. Don;t give me this heat of the moment rubbish...Ballboys and girls can be really young and it doesn't look great to see so called professional men trying to rib the ball from their grasp

Players should know better because 1) they time waste their self's 2) the ref added time on for the ball out of play so it makes no difference anyway .If only the likes of Hazard and the rest of his crew showed the same level of commitment and fighting for the cause onthe Pitch , they might be in the final

C'Mon . One is paid loads the other is not, one is a full time professional the other is not

Nobody is suggesting that Hazard should be excused for what he did. People are just trying to put it into perspective - he lost his temper and kicked out at the ball (not the ball boy), and both parties have apologised to each other. Even the parties in question have moved on from the incident.

If any wrong has been committed here, it's the fact that people are forgetting what Swansea have achieved - a place in the final, at Wembley. Either Swansea or Bradford could be in the Europa League next season - this is a credit to English/Welsh football.

Why does the size of people's wage packet have to do with it?

[ETC]

They are both Twats, easy

One is professional and one isn't. No-one had much time for Andrew Mitchell when he lostt his temper and that man wasn't gulty of half of what was alleged . Is it fine for a man to hit a women in the heat of the moment?.

Please Swansea fans called it a joke cup , only last year - no prizes why they called it that then and now all of a sudden its a credit to football

Some us don't forget :P

They are both Twats, easy

Spot on

Regardless, winner plays in Europe next season, just like Liverpool are now. I'm sure Cardiff wouldn't say no to that.

Just read that the kid is heir to a ?42 million fortune. His Dad is as Swansea director and hotel magnate.

Worth more than Hazard anyway.

Joey Barton made me laugh:

'Hazard's only crime is he hasn't kicked him hard enough'.

Cardiff fan weren't calling the cup a joke last season, Swansea fans on the other hand were . That's the joys of football

Barton is a total cock ,who's big crime is that he's still allowed to play football . Still I expect nothing less from a man with previous when it comes to assault

[sj33]

...incredible. Some kind of animated version of the whole thing.

My apologies to you, out of order. Ironically I posted it in the heat of the moment during a very frustrating and exhausting day.
