Let's stop this bollocks now, shall we? Wouldn't have been so funny if we'd conceded in the fifth minute of injury time added on because of it.
-
Well, yes, but it did break up any possible rhythm from Hull. And it was funny when a new ball was delivered so Elmohamady chucked the original ball back into the North Stand crowd for them to keep.
-
Agreed, I sit down by that corner and find it quite annoying.

Didn't chuck it back. He booted it up into the top tier. I agree with the OP though, shouldn't be happening.
-
Agreed. I was sat in the Holte wondering if I'd passed through a wormhole back into the 1970s.

Bantz innit

Stupid morons almost cost us the game. I don't understand why it's supposed to be funny?
Also, I don't see why we can't have balls back instantly like what recently happened in the World Cup.
-
Newcastle fans were doing it last week, so I think we've basically copied it from them - not big or clever.
-
That the only funny bit when Elmohamady booted the other ball into the Upper North Stand, he should take up Rugby Union.
-
I was in with the Hartlepool supporters at a game at Cheltenham a few years ago. They kept the ball until an announcement was made that we wouldn't be allowed to leave the Waddon Road until we gave the ball back.
-
Lighten up. It's a football tradition. It's hardly cause for whinging.
-
Nothing wrong with it. Good laaarff and they should have more balls readily available. And Elmohamedy should have been booked for kicking the ball into the crowd.
-
Let's not worry about it let's get more passionate about supporting the club, and let the authorities deal with it.
-
I thought it was funny and fair play to the Hull player that joined in and launched it into the top teir of the North Stand, a mention must also go to Darren Bent for joining in at the other end too...
I think sometimes life is taken a little too seriously. And yes I know that Hull might have scored, but it was mildly amusing.

Why? There were two balls on the pitch at the time.
-
Yeah, stop it. We've won about 5 home games in two years so pack up having a laugh. We were only winning at the time so of course we wanted the ball back in play pronto.
Can't you find something else to moan about?
-
I don't really get the difference between keeping the ball for 5 minutes & the away team scoring in the 95th minute, or handing it straight back for them to score in the 90th?
It's down to the team to see out the game, the referee to add on time or not oas required, & as paying customers - we only need to enjoy our day out.

Well said, there's been an increase in this holier than thou "what kind of fan are you?" nonsense on here lately.
We played well and won, why would anyone get so annoyed about something so inconsequential?
-
It cost is two points and kept the Albion in the league. Let's jack it in.
-
It was hilarious when that Hull player finally got the ball back and as belatedly another had arrived he just booted it back into the north upper.
I think the only issue with this is it must have made up a large chunk of the five minutes stoppage time as no way was there five minutes delay in the second half.
-
The five minutes was about right. The fans in the corner kept the ball for a good two minutes overall and they must've spent at least the same amount of time kicking Grealish. Take into account the goal and the numerous subs and I don't think we can have too many complaints.
-

That's actually pretty unfathomable as to why we don't do that.
-
Look, if we were losing, even the biggest simpleton wouldn't keep the ball. No damage has been done and it's highly unlikely to. Can't we just enjoy a win for once?
-

Does seem very old fashioned.
-
Is money so tight we don't have a spare ball?
-
I saw it against Newcastle, was mildly amused, today I just thought fuckin hell.
please leave it out fellas.
-
I fully expect that in the event of us losing a game, all ball boys are suddenly equipped with a ball. It's how it works.
-
It was mildly amusing until Ron Vlaar started to get pissed off. Then I think a fair few people shat themselves in the Lower North
-
At one point the ball went into the North stand and Guzan gave a 'take your time' signal to the crowd. Then appeared to blame the fans when the ref had a moan to him. In a 'nothing to do with me guv' way. I thought it was quite funny.
