The Hazard of being a Ballboy .....

Well, whilst Chris Foy had no real alternative to sending off Eden Hazard at Swansea last night, I think my sympathies are entirely with the Chelsea player.
During my inevitable "ballboy" activities at non-league matches, I've always done my best to return the spherical object to the field of play as efficiently as possible - even from the bottom of a steep, nettle-infested grass bank at Ellistown FC this season - so I've never incurred the wrath of any of the combatants, and that it what the wretched Charlie Morgan should have done. If all he got was a kick in the ribs, he should count himself lucky!
