Drama as Swansea City beat Chelsea to reach Wembley

“ilovemitch, you must be the only person who saw hazzard kick this boy in the ribs, tv replays clearly show he only kicked the ball and the boy acted like he had been shot in the side.
confused67, you say he is only a child, he's 17 for god's sake. You can join the army at his age,he's one year away from voting and being able to go to the pub( god help us) His pre match antics and his performance during the game has brought shame on our great football club”

“Will the Evening Post now publish an article to show what the fans really think? Come EP, you have been called out by a very widely sold National newspaper, you might want to bite the bullet and at least try and repair the damage done.”

“Sorry to say this, but this has let the club down, time to realise we are in the premier and with that will come expectations of standards and professionalism. Sorry Evening Post, but this whole article is poor, it's not what we deserve......”

“Well I hope Mr Morgan is proud of his spoilt little brat of a son. The Guardian today are reporting that the South Wales Evening Post are hailing the little pr*ck as a cult hero. No one's arguing that Hazard was out of order, but the combination of a cocky, brainless kid and equally brainless comments in articles like this are making the city a laughing stock.”

“This kid (Mr Morgan's son, one of the directors of SCFC) has come across as being an idiot for this. Even I thought he was being an idiot at the time it was happening, I laughed but not with the kid... I laughed at him thinking "what are you doing?".

Plus, I have seen the photo's he posts on his twitter account and if I am honest, I have no intention of ever having the displeasure of meeting him. He makes himself looks arrogant, spoilt and appears to have no care for what image damage he will cause to his family. Although still a minor he is showing the world pictures of expensive champaign, torn up betting slips and alcoholic receipts. This boy should be avoiding anything like that if not for taking heat off his father who is high profile regardless of that fact if he wants to be or not.

Mr Morgan, this is a community club, please put a leash around your sons neck. At first the media was gunning for Hazard but now they are looking deeper and seeing your son does lend himself well to humility. We don't want the sort of baggage that your sons antics could bring to the club, a good start would be to take away that overpowered car away from him and let the boy appreciate the value of money and to dedicate his time to working hard. As things stand, he just made a fool out of us.”

“Has'nt anyone on here heard of gamesmanship, how many teams have we been losing to ,who have deliberately wasted time , a classic case of this was Norwich. I agree this boy should not have tweeted his intentions, this was childish of him but would anyone deliberately try to kick a ball from underneath a child (because this is what he is, a silly child) no they would'nt. Hazard has to take his punishment, if he had an issue he should have complained to the referee, not take matters into his own hands to many of these so called stars get away with to much.If it had been my son I would have pressed charges.”

“In his defense, he is now most definitely "king of the ball boys"!”

“Its annoying that when we get big wins they are always overshadowed by something.

Robin Van Persie, ball boys etc. Its clear this kid was a ball boy for no other reason than his dads connection to the club, but saying that, suggesting him taking a few extra seconds to release a ball has corrupted us when chelsea have NOT SCORED A SINGLE GOAL IN THE LAST 180 MINUTES shows the broken ratios some people work to. Chelsea were outplayed in two games, there were boys at the club booking their travel tickets at half time, you could see swansea were on form.

Also, Hazard contributed to the kid being pushed over, and he purposely kiced him in the ribs, its insane to suggest he was trying to kick the ball, this is a man on over 100k a week for his ball skills, you telling me he could not make the distinction in height, cos from what I saw the kid got toe poked in the ribs.

Anyway, it doesnt matter, if anything, this made the game viral so its all good PR for the club.

I used to race bikes as kid, sometimes I got stuck in the mud, other riders dads would seemingly come to my aid, but I recall them lifting my rearwheel off the floor on purpose to give their kids as long as possible to get away.

This goes on all over the land, the kid was no angel, but lets gain some perspective.

He did not deserve to be booted in the ribs.
His so called time wasting had zero impact on the game.

All it did is give the media an excuse to focus on drama, but we are going to wembley, and the world will be watching us.”

“carpetmeister, i could'nt agree more. about the worse case of journalism i can remember in a long time. Trying to make a hero out of a complete and utter idiot. Of course we wanted to win the game but not at the cost of blatant cheating by this moron. You could understand if it was a spur of the moment thing, but he had already tweeted that he was going to waste time, which was the complete opposite of the idea when ballboys were introduced”

“well said carpmeister he was a disgrace, Swansea did not need his help, they were the better team, well Swansea.”
