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

we should use the peter barnes football trainer and have the ball on a string

Bloody hell that takes me back. My dad bought me one of these when I was 11 for passing my exam!!

Remember being so chuffed with the pressie and then disappointed with how crap the quality was all at the same time. Happy days!!

The premier league banned multi ball after Moyes used it for the first part of a match against United, and then packed all of the extra balls away when Everton went 1-0 up.

Lots of other examples of the home team getting the ball thrown in a lot quicker than the away team.

Shsme because it made for a much better spectacle.

I actually was totally clueless about that change --thanks for the information! Either way, it took ages for the players to get the ball back when we were down in their attacking third.. I have rarely seen anything like it.
