Silvio Dante Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 12 minutes ago, Up The City! said: I think they have done quite well this season. Have clearly been instructed to waste time when needed and hurry things up when needed. Back in the Joe Jordan days he used to come into the ballboys room on occasions pre match and advise us to do exactly that. Unsurprisingly, you didn't ignore an instruction from big Joe in case he came back afterwards! (and most now are academy kids. And in not every case city fans which may be why some appear to look disinterested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee you that they have nothing to do with the speed of ball boys distribution. I have never read something so ridiculous in my life, and I have been on Mail Online.....

Leveller Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Whatever happened to the multi ball system? It's chasing one ball into the terracing that slows things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's chasing one ball into the terracing that slows things down. Remember being away to Derby when they had just introduced the multi ball system. We scored thanks to their ball boy giving us a ball to take an attacking throw in very quickly, who then got abused by Derby fans for the rest of the game. As VFTD says it was banned, I think because ballboys were being accused of favouring the home team in the speed they returned the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think our ball retrievers are amongst the best in the country. Every week they perform to extremely high standards and remain crowd favourites through thick and skin. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of speed to give it back and average distance covered I'd imagine we would be near the bottom of the table. Another failure of Bristol Sport We need more professional ball 'persons ' who know when to be quick to retrieve when we are losing / drawing and slow when seeing out time at end of games etc like other clubs .......l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
