Ball Boys

[kiss the crest]

What is it with our ball boys? They just sit there and have no urgency at all to get the ball back to the players ASAP, if you watch other teams the ball boys keep the tempo up for their teams, ours don't even get off those little benches and just watch the game.

The club, Manager and players need to change the current set up as its appalling

What a toxic club.

It’s no wonder we can’t attract top level ball boys.

 

[Tigger]

Booooooooo!

Theres one lad on the family enclosure side who i heard snoring.

I do agree they are not very " alert"

 

[Ferguson1878]

can easily go the other way where we have multiple balls on the pitch at once though and i’m sure no one wants to see that

 

[Eggs]

….maybe a better option than Beto

 

[GoldenToffee]

They are probably bored. But tbh they should be instructed by the manager or players to speed the game up / slow it down as appropriate.

Are ball boys from the academy set up? If they are, it speaks volumes for the standard of kids in the system at Everton.

So that's why we're doing so badly. At last! A reason.

My son stated - look at that ball boy at 2-1 & we were struggling, he is nearly in tears crying .....

Pretty sure Dyche will have decreed that in order to slow the game down.

We were getting beat, the crowd were up the players on top and spurs tried to slow the game, but the ball boys helped them out by just sitting there. Pathetic

That woman behind the park end bar needs to get her act together as well.

League One quality ball boys. Not good enough at this level.

Millions of years ago the spots were just awarded to clubs in different local kids leagues on rotation.

I was ballboy against United. Sat in front of the away fans and got pelted non stop with coins, food, lighters. Was amazing sorting the divots out at half time though.

Only one player said “Thanks mate” when I threw the ball to him……..Paul Ince
