Wolford6 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Of course, I've always been a big Swansea fan [nose grows two inches]. Just the same, well done City. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 My initial reaction rhymed with Cook it, but on reflection, well done Bradford City, enjoy. Only 90 minutes away from Europe (that should put the willies up them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Football hits another low. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Ball boy laid across the ball, presumably. so player couldn't get it so player booted him. Astonishing.

Wolford6 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The ballboy kid was acting the div, lying on the ball to prevent Chelsea getting on with the game. I know appearances can be deceptive, but he didn't look the sharpest tool in the box. The Chelsea player (I think) intended to kick the ball from underneath the ballboy, but also caught him in the ribs. Apparently, the ref had no option but to send him off. However, there was no real malicious intent in the kick. I would like Swansea to win the final, but would not be upset if City won. One interesting point is that Swansea, who come under the jurisdiction of the Welsh FA, aren't supposed to allowed to represent the English League in European Competitions ... contingency one-off permission was granted to Cardiff when they reached the FA Cup Final a few years ago. Watch Mark Lawn put in a protest if Swansea win. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severus Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Haven't seen the incident yet but it annoys me when you see ball boys not giving the ball back to the away side. Happens in RU as well where ball boys will dry the ball for the home team but not for the away team. Fides invicta triumphat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 While Hazard (ironic) was an idiot for kicking the ball boy, said lad was behaving like a little sh"t. Two wrongs don't make a right but how often have people wanted to stop someone being a nuisance, if you haven't then you're either a Buddhist or a liar. Hazard did it all the wrong way and was a complete tool in the heat of the moment. For once, it is a relevant thing to hark back to "back in my day" for half of TRL because it did happen, if someone was acting like a div then they got a clip round the ear or a boot up the backside.

Severus Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 He's 17! Crikey. Only 5 years younger than Hazard. It was also his last game as ball boy and apparently he was bragging on twitter that he was going to do something (allegedly).

I think the issue isn't that he kicked the scrote but that he did a bit of stamping too. I blame the influence of all the rugby union played on that ground.

If the kid's Welsh he should have had a lot worse at the bottom of a ruck ... and no coat and tracksuit to protect him. He got what he deserved ... a tapped reminder not to cheat. Then he curled up on the turf like a girl. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
