[Football] Best excuse for loosing

[goldstone68]

Its all a load of Ball

 

[Easy 10]

Spurs blaming their last game of the season debacle against West Ham on a dodgy lasagne.

Also, didn't David James once blame a bad performance in goal for Liverpool on a marathon Nintendo session the say before?

He admitted he was addicted to Tekken 2 and Tomb Raider. Which, in fairness, I lost many a nights sleep to back in the day as well.

The French second div play with a silver one which looks like a big ball bearing also Here's why you need to care about where and how nappies are made for your baby

 

[Wilko]

Still AMAZED by the number of people that think it is loose and loosing. Why?

Get back to lace up leather footballs with a rubber bladder. And boots with nail in studs. Mind you, they did used to come lose.

OK, they didn't lose, but Man City blamed the wrong ball for their game ending 0:0 v Wolves.
Seems the ball for the China Cup is different from the PL.

To be fair they do have a point

A ball has be to be between a certain weight size and shape, how the ball is built generally impacts how the ball moves in the air etc.

And you'd think how it's built is also stipulated by FIFA.

And you'd think how it's built is also stipulated by FIFA.

Its generally down to the pannelling, if you really wanted to you could look up the sales guff and the brand would explain what there ball would try and do, There used to be a lot of talk about the ball being poor or different in major tournements, I know England have moaned about it before (2006 I think.

Micky blamed it on Dave Cameron once.

he had a point

 

[Official Old Man]

Meanwhile the draw takes place today for the next round. Live on Twitter at 4pm so worth a watch to see how they mess it up.

Does Hyppia being useless count?

 

[GloryDays]

Still AMAZED by the number of people that think it is loose and loosing. Why?

Illiteracy.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

If that's all, surely the ball would still have to be made to be the same as before?

No, because then you wouldn't have Radio, TV, Pundits and newspapers all talking about whether, or not, the new Nike Hyperball Supershooter is better or worse than the Mitre Orb of Fire etc
