I witnessed something worse today - ball comes into row 6 of east stand (we're 1-0 down by the way) bloke gathers ball and then hands it to his young lad for bit of 'glory' in throwing it back. Young fella gets stage fright and hands ball back to dad who duly throws it into the rear of the ad hoarding so not even reaching thrower to resume play.
That's the fucking play offs gone then!
Excellent point. On the east stand side they were on the wrong side of the advertising hoardings. Seems there aren't enough of them when we are losing and too many when we are winning.
I noticed one of the ball boys near the bench getting quite agitated with the ref, he was clearly not impressed, I remember Graham Poll having a absoulute stinker afew years go and my son who was a ball boy told him so, Poll was not impressed, but someone needed to tell him.
How would you know if te ball is going to spend more time in front of R behind the advertising boards?
Only way to combat that would be to double up, have one in front and one behind, or open up the boards; make gaps for them to run between.
Does seem we are short on number though, since we have atleast 3 at times sat in the empty stands, and only one or two sat around each side of the pitch
Well for a start we clearly don't have enough.
It would help if they were behind as that was causing the delays. In front of hoardings ie closer to the pitch the players can occasionally retrieve it.
