Thats exactly how i see it. I cant understand people calling it assault.dannybcity said:moomba said:dannybcity said:If it was Silva we'd all say it was nothing, if it was Rooney we'd all call it GBH and demand a life ban, me included. Football fans see what they want to see.
If it was Silva I'd be saying it was a fucking stupid thing to do.
Of course and I'd completely agree. Hazard was stupid to do what he did but it's obvious he wasn't trying the hurt him.

If any club doesn't exploit this then more fool them.

If someone grabs hold of you without your consent that is technically assault. So what Hazard did certainly qualifies.
