Harry Redknapp labels Swansea ball-boy "an idiot"

FBL-ENG-PR-WEST HAM-QPR

QPR boss Harry Redknapp is furious with Swansea ball-boy Charlie Morgan and has termed his behaviour as ‘”disgusting”.

Morgan, 17, was kicked by Hazard during Swansea’s clash with Chelsea because he tried to waste time by not giving the ball to Hazard. Chelsea however claim that Hazard tried kicking the ball instead.

Hazard was sent off after the incident and faces a three match ban which may be extended.

Redknapp said, “I saw on the TV the boy was tweeting before the game that he was a super time-waster. I thought it was disgusting the way he behaved.

“Why was the kid lying on the ball? Imagine the frustration, you are trying to get to a final and there is this kid behaving like an idiot lying on the ball. He didn’t kick the kid, he kicked the ball.

“The whole thing got blown out of proportion. I can think of players that would have kicked a bit harder than what he did.”
