Davefevs Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I guess under multi-ball there ought to be a ball ready to use anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they are told to throw the ball back as there will end up with 2 on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benneythered Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Tbh I think the are told to only collect dead balls and let the players collect the spare balls from the cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddoh Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yesterday there were two balls on the pitch at the same time. their keeper picked up a ball and bounced it on the pitch whilst his team were about to take a corner (ball on the pitch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 There's been a few times where ballboys have made a difference to a game with a bit of quick thinking in getting the ball to a player so they should be told not to sit there and day-dream for 90 minutes!

The ball boys are very frequently players from City foundation sides. They do receive instruction as to how the team want the ball returned, or not.

Not sure if they are junior players or what but he should have been told to either show some interest or go home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saturday Boy Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Back in the 80s I was a ball boy when the lovely Beryl Fudge was in charge of us. We were given strict instructions on whether to retrieve the ball quickly or slowly depending on the score and how long was left!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Absolutely useless yesterday and it did slow down the flow of the game and our momentum in 1st half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Quote Newly-introduced guidance forbids ball-boys from throwing the ball back onto the field. Instead, players must go and fetch the balls themselves, or pick one up from strategically placed cones around the pitch. Worth bearing the guidance from the EFL following the reintroduction of multi ball in mind. https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/wigan-athletic-facing-fine-as-ball-boy-gate-row-rumbles-on-following-northampton-town-clash-4256450 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
