Ball Boys

On a slightly different note, am I the only one who thinks we could have the laziest ball boys known to the football league? I mean, I was at the game earlier and the ball had gone out and what were the ball boys doing? They we're say on they're arse's just looking at the ball! Fair enough if we were winning with a few minutes to go, but we weren't and we needed that ball back as quickly as possible! :x

It's always been a moan of mine.

I seem to remember they got rid of all the ball boys a few years ago and now have people from the youth Academy.

This could have been a great mistake! If they had young lads who actually support the club as the ball boys they would be giving the ball back straight away as they want to see us winning... Well at least playing!

I remember a work colleague saying her son was gutted when they were replaced half way through a season. Think the club gave them season tickets so they didn't miss out though.

They only know that the longer the ball is in play, the more goals we will concede. I commend their tactical ingenuity!

The ball boys have been awful ever since we've been in the CCS.

It is a cause of ironic cheers around us if a ball boy ever gets off their arse, let alone actually throws a ball back.

Shocking :-(

I was head ball boy as a kid for 10 years at Ninian Park. If a opposing player would time waste I'd have no issue telling him to f*cking hurry up and pass the ball into his stomach, the lads were the same. Hated FAW games though, sat up in the bob bank completely on my own.....scary. lol.
