Why do our ballboys take ages to actually get the ball?

Didn't he used to be multiball until he went ahead then would always have the extra balls taken away?

Seems idiotic to ban it. Should have just said you can't change mid game.

Ours are still the worst I've ever seen though.

He used to be multiball when they needed a goal but the extra balls would mysteriously disappear if they were leading the match. I seem to recall them banning it.

The little pricks don't fetch the fucking ball.

Towards the end it went out near the away fan section and not one ball boy made the effort to get it. A steward ended up throwing it back (badly).

They are beyond useless.

the ballboys were not to blame yesterday. About ten seconds that incident cost. The problem was time wasting by soton from the first whistle. Refs allow it and then blow early.

Whether they are the sole problem or not is immaterial. Whoever organises them needs a kick up the arse. The money involved in football is 1,000,000x that of wanky tennis but look at the kids at Wimbledon.

They know how to fetch a ball and not walk over too it like a teenagers being told to clean their fucking room. It should be a privilege to do that 'job', not a chore.
 
No respec for their elders, this yoof of today. send the lazy fuckers for a few years of national service, that'll sort out this total shambles and get us back in to our winning ways.

Totally agree. They should just make the u15's or whatever do it. Although I'm sure their agents wouldn't have it.
