I had to laugh when I saw this picture.<\/p>\n

\"Eden<\/p>\n

As for the ball boy. He wasn\u2019t hurt – although he\u2019d put many a Premiership footballer to shame the way he pretended he was. He was interfering with play, when he shouldn\u2019t have been. Hazard didn\u2019t actually try to kick him – he tried to kick the ball. And I wonder if Swansea\u2019s magnanimity in drawing a line under the affair would have been as great if they\u2019d have lost?<\/p>\n

As I say, Hazard went for the ball, frustrated by the fact that a grotty little hoodie with a Saturday job was holding on to it in an attempt to influence the outcome of the game. And if Swansea support the ball boy then they are a part of this attempt at cheating.<\/p>\n

I love how the papers skirt round the issue of \u201ctime-wasting\u201d. Time wasting is something players do. Snotty little nonentities like Charlie Morgan \u201cinterfere with play\u201d – just as someone who runs on to the pitch would do.<\/p>\n

Swansea should sack the ball boy and not allow him into the ground again. But they won\u2019t (particularly seeing as he\u2019s the son of.a club director).<\/p>\n

Morgan is enjoying the attention<\/a> he\u2019s getting out of the affair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
