If Balotelli had done what Hazard did.

[FlatlineMonday]

I can't see anything other than an extended ban (I'm going for 5 matches).

I hope you're right... that would mean he's banned for Chelsea v City

Let's put this 'grown man attacks a child' bullshit to bed right here, shall we.
One was 22, the other 17. Not a huge age gap. In other circumstances, they could quite easily be part of the same peer group on a night out in town.
And, according to the Guardian, the 17-year-old gobshite is actually bigger than Hazard. Both taller and heavier. So that doesn't fit the 'child abuse' conspiracies either.
If you were a father, which one would you be prouder to have as a son? I know my answer, and it isn't a cheating, play-acting, obnoxious Welsh fairy who is still a ballboy at 17.

Hazard didn't know he was a 17yr old "gobshite"
He was a ballboy, Hazard is a professional footballer.
If we all went around kicking people at work who annoyed
us we'd be in a sorry state.

we`d probably have a lot less people trying to annoy us.

And a lot of people bewildered when they're the one's on the receiving end as the "gobshite" rarely realizes which part they're playing in the drama.
