Ball Boys

[BigMicky]

During the early stages of their keeper time wasting, Cabellero came out and gave specific instruction to one of the ball boys, he relayed the message to at least 3 others, I assume it was get the ball to the keeper asap to hurry him up. We then scored, said ball boy legged it back round to tell them all to slow it down. 

 

Attention to detail can't be  underestimated.

I've noticed the 2 ball boys nearest the dugouts don't get a look in. As soon as the ball's out of play Enzo pounces. 

Poor lads have one job and Enzo has nicked it 😁

And it's not like he's not got plenty of his own to do.

The ball boy in front of the family stand must not have got the message then, as my god he was the slowest kid ever. Actively avoided the ball on the cone, to go the extra 20 yards to fetch the ball.

Sort of small details that Brendan Rodgers and his naive management wouldnt of given a second thought to. Suppose thats why ones been educated by one of the greatest managers of all time and the other manages Celtic

Was this the one where one of the other ball boys came around to him after to seemingly have a word?

 

Seemed like the ball boy was unsure whether he could actually go on to the pitch or not to get the ball to give to the keeper

 

Didn't help that this was during when their keeper was time wasting a lot so it just looked like he was helping them do it

Best episode 'Friends' never made

Saw this too, after we scored and he ran running back around to tell them don't bother and slow back down while laughing 😂 loving the details that Enzo and co are bringing to the side

He's not constantly jotting down sound bites in a notepad though unlike the previous regime

Ball Boys along the east stand looked like they'd rather be anywhere else than the King Power last night. Should be ready and waiting to chuck the ball to Leicester players as soon as we get a throw in.

Let’s not be too harsh, he did get a specialist in for the small detail of defending a corner.

The memo didn't make it to the lad infront of SK1 at the start of the first half. Looked like he was auditioning for a job in the concourse kiosks.

This also happened some years ago when the club were stopped from using the multi-ball system after our lads delayed retrieving the ball for opposition players (think it was against NottsF).
