To be fair to the ball boy, his father marched him into the Chelsea dressing room to apologise immediately the match was over. When encouraged by the Police to do so, he also refused to press charges. This didn't stop the police investigation but ultimately meant that they had to drop charges.

When football was in its "glory days" and Spurs were good, they had to advertise on television with Chas 'n' Dave in order to sell tickets. Today, when they are no longer a big side and charge a whole lot more, they sell out every week.

Funny that.

He should be grateful it wasn't rugby. he'd have been "cleared out" and been left with noone to complain to.

Anyway. Hazard was silly for getting involved, that kid is a shit (but we may all have done something similar),Chelsea aren't style, please stop using The Yids, moaning about footballers wages as an indicator of societal problems is fucking insane.

Have I missed anything?

That tells you all you need to know. Even his farther was embarrassed. Hope hazard gets 3 games for stupidity and the rest of the world moves on quickly.

I hope it goes no further.

He should come with a health warning that Hazard bloke. The FA have got a tough decision to make now. They need to determine whether kicking the shit out of an innocent child as he lies on the floor is worse than violent conduct or racism on the field or pushing a ref and if they feel it is then nothing short of a 10 match ban will suffice. Such style

Pisti, you should never allow facts to interfere with your prejudices.

Turning in Benitez mid-meltdown...

A Steve Archibald shirt. That says a lot as well.

First, shirts in those days didn't have names on them and so a kid wearing one with a name on it probably was given a snide one.

Secondly, very few people wore replica shirts in those days. Most people at football were wearing Crombies, Harringtons or similar. Certainly not replica shirts. I remember going to an away game in 1983, Brighton it was, and one of my mates turned up in a replica shirt and had the Mickey taken out of him the whole day. He had to cover it up and it never appeared again.

Thirdly, Archibald was the personification of the mercenary footballer in embryo. Left his native country, travelled to England and then Spain in the hunt for money.

Having a snide plastic shirt with Archibald on the back does not make you "Old School" anything other than Old School Plastic.

What Chalfie says about the Y word. Others, better people than you, have been banned for using that word. Faux Spurs "fans" using such language is designed only to perpetuate antisemitism in this country. People who do that are a disgrace.

Your trolling is improving Mike. 6/10.

Mind you, you have come a little late to the party. Presumably the missus doesn't allow you Internet access at home unless its MumsNet. Mark off for that.

This makes me sad.

it's nice to see someone other than liverpool get a kicking in this thread

Why? Replica shirts are over priced tat.

It was also not a day to wear colours if you wanted to avoid trouble. There was a massive ruck before and a fully fledged riot afterwards. To this day,
I still cannot work out how we got away from the ground and away before everything was closed down and an early form of kettling commenced.

I learnt never to wear colours a dozen years before that when I was 14 and with a friend at Old Trafford. He had a Chelsea scarf and so the two of us were set on by a gang of ever so hard Mancs.

Lol. I was listening on the radio and I saw there was 'uproar' on here so I left it in favour of a fresh assault in the morning :-)

Leicester City officially the second most violent supporters in Britain.

August 2000, fuck me Clive, that's a bit of a barrel scrape.

It's the latest league table. They have kept their trophy.

Half this thread is stilll banging on about what Liverpool did in the 1980s.

at least what we did was something to be proud of

Chelsea are runaway winners of this league

I'd also point out the premier league form of Bradford

Second best to a welsh team yet again.

Ramaye, dear chap, most of those arrests and banning orders are for touting, a nasty plague on sport which Chelsea are actively seeking to eradicate.

Quite a few arrests for violence also, United feature high but that is mainly booze, it appears the London season ticket holders go to Manchester and get drunk because they do not realise that the beer is not watered down up north.
