**To bring it home... I dont see how Hazard escaped a lengthier ban (besides standard red card) for kicking that kid... no matter what role he played in it, but he did... or Ashley Cole shooting someone with a bb gun... It's just inconsistencies that chap my arse

The Cole incident was in house, so I'll pass on that discussion as I don't know how much jurisdiction that the FA has on that. The Hazard incident was bad. He could have received more and if he did, then that's what he deserved. The one main difference is how it was handled by the player and club. Hazard didn't release a statement saying if I get more than x number of games, I won't accept it. That's my main point in all of this. Sometimes it's better to just shut up and take what you get. I am a strong willed person as well and I understand why he stands up for himself, but as I've aged, I understand that sometimes I have to take a little shite. This past year I lost my job over standing up for myself. I was tired of taking the shite. 6 months w/o a job caused me to realize that I have a family to feed and that I may have to take some shite to make sure they are taken care of. If he leaves Pool it would be a massive blow to the club. I hope that he gets the help he needs and stays, but running to another league will not change anything. He will be in front of their disciplinary board and continue hurting his club and their fans.
