Ballboys (/girls)

I know in the grand scheme of things this may sound petty and unimportant, however!....

Have any match going reds clocked just how slow ours are at retrieving the ball? Sometimes it's absolutely maddening during games like yesterday when players are sprinting to the touchline looking for the ball to be given quickly so that they can make the quick throw. All too often the young girls and boys are just sat on their stools not paying attention or unsure if it's their responsibility to get the ball. It's not their fault but I don't know why the club are putting young girls especially in a situation where a bunch of passionate football fans will be screaming at them to hurry the £#%&! up etc.

Really puts the recent war in Israel into perspective for me.....

But no, we must have the worst in the league, they also encourage time wasting, as by default they are absolutely ket on them stools....

Long throw guy for Brentford yesterday was just letting them mess about, swap balls, ooooo take your time hen, give us that other one...

Are they foundation kids or locals ?

Our Iron Dome

First thing I thought of when I woke up.

If you have a football in your hands you shouldn't be allowed ask a ballboy for another. They did it and then dumbo dalot started on it. He's the trigger of football.

He winds me up.....

Taking an age to get over to the line to get the ball off Antony, then just short throws it anyway....

I’m amazed United can find a few kids willing to be away from their phones for 90 minutes

Surely there are some who ballboyed at Ajax knocking around or a couple at Real who are close to retirement?

Should have proper scumbag scally’s for the intimidation factor. Spitting on the ball, launching it into their faces, demanding a quid for the ball back.

There’s a young lanky lad at Burnley available, only got one arm though.

Same ones will be there next home game too.

May mate’s son Jadon wanted to be a ball boy. Arrived at the ground for the game yesterday at half past 3 in his jammies, and they wouldn’t let him have a go.

ETH just picks his favourites.

Let’s wait and see what tbe womens team think about this.

Some of the ball boys may have daughters ffs

The ball boys/girls showed about as much intensity as the first team yesterday
And that swapping ball thing. It's not tennis ffs

In the United v Arsenal women's game on Friday the ball had to be retrieved from an empty part of the stand behind the goal by a steward/cleaner. No spare ball, took an age, I was livid

The girl that threw the ball to Dalot for the shortest long throw ever barely managed to get the ball to him

Seems to me we have far fewer ball-people around the pitch and fewer balls than most clubs. Cost cutting nqat.

Should let us lot do it. Give them a few home truths whilst we are at it
