Is it Marrones fault or the fault of the FFA for allowing a #ick to be a ball boy. I think many would have reacted the same way considering the emotions and what was on the line. And then to reward the boy, what a joke.

Ball boy should be banned from games for two years to teach other kids that cheating is wrong.

I really hope he only gets a game only ban. And your right the kid should be banned for a period of time to ensure it never happens again. We cannot have this happen again and unfortunately the kid was to blame. I understand he is young but must learn responsibility.

Ball boys are there to do a job, but you can't go around doing that, especially to kids.

Like everyone else, the way the kid was celebrated annoys me though.

A bit reckless in that he went in too fast, but the kid went down like Rivaldo.

How old was the kid?? I would imagine he was probably instructed to withhold the ball, or he has been raised to embrace cheating ... isn't FIFA's motto still Fair Play??

Marrone will rightly be banned until the new year. Shocking behaviour which will be severely reprimanded.
The ball boy may have been wrong, but Marrone was far more in the wrong.

Have you watched the incident calmly? I can see that anyone at the ground or that got caught up in the excitement of Simon doing what Simon does might feel a little stronger than the majority of people.

Sad that this had to happen. I remember something similar happening in a Chelsea game a couple of seasons ago.
He will get banned, rightfully so.
And the kid... he clearly knew what he was doing. Don't go parading him like he's the innocent victim here!

He goes to grab the ball from the little shit, ball boy turns and then flops.
Doesn't deserve anything more than the standard red card ban.

“Ball-boy gate” shouldn’t get blown out of proportion; it should be remembered he’s just an immature school kid who did the wrong thing and Marone was merely inappropriatly assertive in trying to get the ball back. One deserves a slap on the wrist, the other a two game ban.

Giving the little shit a winners medal is kind of sending the wrong message though...

poor look for the game in general. Ball boy is an unsporting brat, the player forgot his place and was unnecessarily harsh. sadly all the headlines are in teh wrong place

He should have stopped and made the kid look like the brat he is but to say he "man handled" him is an exaggeration that is nowhere near the truth and distrorts the discussion.

Sets a dangerous precedent for ball boys around the league now if Sydney are glorifying the kid by giving the medal & getting him to lift the trophy.

If he was a ball kid at the Aus Open he'd never get a job again. Shows the difference between the two sports in terms of professionalism.
