    Did anybody else notice there was four ball boys sat behind the North stand goal (sat in two pairs) but none sat behind the South stand goal.

    Particulary frustrating when second half Green was taking ages to take his goal kicks and free kicks on the offsides. It took 30 minutes of the second half for the guy in charge of the ball boys to change it (but weirdly walked all the way around the pitch?).

    Somebody in the stand were trying to tell him to change it quicker but he just basically told the to ssh which was ridiculous considering they weren't criticising or complaint - just suggesting two from the North were moved to the South to hurry Green up.

    Why don't we utilise ball boys effectively? Who's the old guy who's in charge of the sshing the crowd?

    Too slow of their bloody stools sometime, need a good telling to get a move on when it's our ball.

    Most important result of the season and you choose to moan about this?

    I noticed that, and at that point i was very pissed off as we where playing shocking and went on a massive rant about it.

    Don't get me wrong, it could work against a big team that like to get things going quickly but today we got it wrong.

    There's never a time you can "moan". If we lost then it's jumping on the Bruce Out bandwagon and if we win then I'm being pessimistic.

    It's an observation from today's game I wanted to share.

    I got talking to a lad who said he was a ball boy at todays game. When I pointed out that there were 4 behind the North Stand goal, but none behind the south side goal. He said some of them didn't turn up....What are we some kind of amateur club? GET IT SORTED CITY ****wits.

    some didn't turn up well wouldn't you think two could have been moved to the other end anyway 3 points so crucial. Yes get in there didn't think it was going to happen when Green made that great save but it did

    There is no Goodness gracious about it fella.. We're chasing a win against 10 men and there is no ball boy behind the goal we're attacking to get the ****ing ball. You may think its funny...I don't...

    How are the ball boys selected? I'd always assumed they were from the youth teams.

    Second half pushing for a win, ball goes behind their goal & the nearest ball boy has to run from the east stand and the useless little ****er ran with his hands in his pockets. Our ball boys have always done a half hearted job but they are now dreadful.

    Can it be raised at the next fans meeting?

    It's not the first time we've commented on this now.
