    I agree.

    The 'hi-viz' Nike balls, are not ****ing 'hi-viz'.

    They are 'marginally better than white-viz'

    Orange worked!

    Cameraman was definitely struggling as well.

    If that is the best technology can do for a ball, bring back the orange or red balls.

    Thought crossed my mind as I watched - or tried to watch - the match. Are orange footballs banned?

    Na, just Nike spent millions developing this ball.

    Doesn't work for TV, but you can ALWAYS see it live.

    They didn't need to spend millions, they just needed to make the standard ball orange!

    Haha, I noticed this as well!Guessing you were watching the setanta coverage. I actually laughed out loud when the cameraman was obviously scanning the pitch like "where the ****s's the ball gone?" :D

    Hi Comm. Long time no speak.

    I meant keep painting the ball orange. That whay you could easily see the players who touched the ball most, track passing.

    Just a thought
