It may of been a bit cowardly but its instinct at times to stick up for a mate.
The fact that they are supposedly professionals and have to set an example means that they will probably get charged.
But i would of done the same if i am honest.
Nah mate. Only cowards stick the boot in when someone's on the ground.
If after the boy swung for Lampard, Terry/Drgba or whoever smacked the guy I'd say fair enough it's a natural reaction, but they'd still get fined and rightly so.
What you don't do is crowd around the guy after the stewards have taken him to the ground and sink a few sly boots in. I can't imagine that's any normal person's natural reaction to the situation.
