Six game suspension ahoy.
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 PM
Did the kid fall on the ball to impede Chelsea?
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 PM
The dreaded vote of confidence.

looks like he was trying to kick the ball, but the kids ribs got in the way
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:41 PM
He and Hazard kind of collided and he went down, but yeah he was wasting time.
Which will be immaterial in the massive fine and suspension Hazard is about to get.
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:42 PM
rambo,
video already taken down
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:42 PM
I remember being a ball boy for my high school team when i was a youngen. We’d fuck with the opposing team so bad basically because the guys told us to. it was pretty fun, the other team would get really really pissed with us.
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:43 PM
Here’s a better gif that shows what happened right before.
Also better because it’s not Timothy Burke’s.

In American Football, they call this “givin’ ‘em the Haynesworth”
January 23rd, 2013 at 4:45 PM
Looks like he was kicking in the general area of where the ball is. If only we had a video that we could stop or play at a slower speed, but alas, all we have is this GIF.
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:01 PM
This is him, apparently.

Ndamukong Suh just became a soccer fan.
/ At least Hazard didn’t tag the kid on the nut sack

Burke kicked a ballboy after he got the thin envelope from Notre Dame.

We had an opposing player run over one of our ball boys my senior year. Like, just crush this 10-year old. He got up and tried to hit this player. It was fantastic.
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:35 PM
If you deliberately hold up play, you deserve to be kicked. Not even saying this to be funny. Ballboy had it coming. I hope hazard doesnt get suspended.
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:40 PM
This was a fun thread in a small package. You soccer types are ok in my book!

Cech should have been sent off for all the time wasting he did against Barca.
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Ban him for life.
/fuck Chelsea
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:54 PM
If you deliberately hold up play, you deserve to be kicked.
With all the flopping and rolling around in “pain” that goes on in soccer, there wouldn’t be time for any soccer in between everybody just kicking the shit out of each other.
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:55 PM
Seriously Cowboy! Barca was trying to turn simulation into an art form the match. You’ll be hard pressed to find a GK ever getting sent off for time wasting. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE!!
/scoreboard
January 23rd, 2013 at 5:57 PM
You wont because it’s one of the rules that isn’t enforced. I’m just saying if we’re going to be concerned about it off the pitch we should maybe enforce the rules on it first right?
Also the scoreboard suggests you just became the first team in seven years to fail to score in either leg of a league cup final, so yeah.
January 23rd, 2013 at 6:06 PM
Yes, if its consistent, but deciding that Chelsea’s win is illegitimate because you want a rule enforced that never is, isn’t right either.
I’ll wipe my crocodile tears with my soft commemorative European Champions towel. IT’S THE LEAGUE CUP FOR GOD’S SAKE WITH BRADFORD VS SWANSEA IN THE FINAL!!! It would have been a nice to have, but seriously.

About all you can ask from both.

Little shit was trying to be cute and cost Chelsea some time. Doesn’t appear to be any reason that he’s on the pitch and flopping around. Most of the ball handling is done behind the sponsor LED things on the sidelines.
Little shit got what he had coming to him. Maybe next time he’ll do his job responsibly.
/Fucking hate kids for reasons like this

I am with Kaiser and Dikembe – I didn’t see why there was so much backlash on Hazard about this. The BALLBOY was walking over to pick up the ball. When he saw Hazard was coming over to do HIS JOB faster…the douchey BALLBOY shielded Hazard from the ball, created contact, and then used that contact as a reason to lay on the ball. His only job is to get the ball and get it back onto the pitch. Instead, he was laying on the ball to waste time. No idea why Chelsea tried to make everything right afterwards.
