Chairman of the Bored Posted 23 April 2006 Share Posted 23 April 2006 I think it was the second time this season the ref has stopped us using the multi-ball. I think it happened after about 15 mins. Not sure if Radio Leicester picked it up during commentary? Now, I thought both managers had to agree to it pre-match. If so, why should the ref stop it? It slows play down a lot using one ball only and without the multi-ball our ball boys don't get the chance to influence the game by not giving it back to the opposition. I intend to write to the Football League for a full explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 23 April 2006 Share Posted 23 April 2006 I didn't notice it at the time but now you mention it it did actually happen. I'm guessing the ref stopped the multi-ball system because there was one incident in the 1st half where the ball went out of play, our player picked up the ball (because it was close to him) and took the throw-in - but then a ballboy (IDIOT!!) threw another ball onto the pitch without looking to see if play has resumed. So there were 2 balls on the pitch and then we had to restart the throw-in again, 20 seconds or so after we'd taken it originally. I'm blaming the ball-boy then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman of the Bored Posted 23 April 2006 Author Share Posted 23 April 2006 We might need to bring in another ball boy coach for next season, then? Do you want English or overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 24 April 2006 Share Posted 24 April 2006 Makes up for all the time wasted by visiting teams. Plymouth were especially bad and they didnt even have anything to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milky Posted 24 April 2006 Share Posted 24 April 2006 all the ball boys are lads from the academy so obviously they are going to favour the home side. it's great to see them role the ball slowly along the floor for the away side and throw it quick and into the arms of the city players. unless of course we need to waste time. it's all part of the advantage for a home side.

Babylon Posted 24 April 2006 Share Posted 24 April 2006 I believe we were once banned a few years back from using multi ball system after a team made a complaint. Everton I think it may have been???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman of the Bored Posted 24 April 2006 Author Share Posted 24 April 2006 Bring back the multi-ball!! (or the mulit-ball as I typed it previously). I'm still awaiting a reply from the Footy League, I guess they've been in conflab today with the (Sweet) FA re the next England Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still awaiting a reply from the Footy League, I guess they've been in conflab today with the (Sweet) FA re the next England Manager. I would imagine the the FL have absolutely no influence on whom the next England Manager will be, they're more likely to be found rubbing shoulders with executives from Coca Cola trying to work out how much more money they can squeeze out of the fans in order to recoup their sponsorship.

holly Posted 24 April 2006 Share Posted 24 April 2006 pisses me off, when they dont have multi ball takes for ever sometimes for the balls to come back, its not only at our ground its happened this season though, couple of away games its been the same started with multi ball then they cut it back to just the 1!!
