Ballboys/girls

What's happened? Have the club sold all the ones who know how to catch a ball and throw it to players to Wolves as part of the Kevin Doyle deal?

I think more training is required as at times they're incompetence is falling into the hands of the opposition.

The ball boys are crap. We should use them as fuel for the fire that we burn Madejski on.

They should hire nobbers instead.

I'm sure I read somewhere that this year they'd decided to get boys from the Academy to do it rather than have trials or whatever they used to do, but I can't find anything about it now.

I hope they can control the balls better with their feet then.... I also prey that none of them are goalkeepers.

Apparently since Marcus left they only need half as many as last season.

Spot on, the club took the decision at the start of the season that they'd use the U14/15 players from now on. Not too sure what they're reasoning is, but think its something to do with including the younger players in the whole club setup.

Yes Mr Rosenior, it's the ballboys/girls fault that you can't beat a fullback, cross a ball etc

They were crap as well yesterday - you'd think they'd at least watch and understand the game.

On one occasion the ball was on the corner spot waiting for a corner to be taken and the ballboy rolled the ball on as if for a goal- kick, and on another we were looking to take a quick corner but the ballboy with the ball was staring out into space in a little world of his own.

I'd have thought having a bunch of kids who have competed to be there and see it as an 'honour' to be part of the match day stuff was way better than press ganging kids who see it as a chore....

Actually, when you put it like that the less time the ball is on the pitch the less chance we have of giving it away or conceding.

So when they throw two balls onto the pitch there's double the chance of us giving it away or conceding.
