However the fact that Marrone did the wrong thing doesn't mean that the kid is in the clear.

The kid should not be glorified in any way let alone given a medal. How is it fair that this one kid who does the wrong thing (and knew what he was doing) gets a medal, while the other 999 ballboys in the A-League/FFA Cup this season, who actually do their job, don't get a medal? Disgraceful that blatant cheating is rewarded. Would be outraged if United gave a kid a medal in circumstances such as these.

Agree with all of that.
And...why is no one condemning Simon's actions? He launched at Marrone, stomped over the kid and precipitated a melee around him where anything could have happened. If we're worried about the kid, his actions should also be in question.

Pretty well spot on IMHO.
