ballboy banned for celebrating a goal

[TheSage]

Gosh, yes, years ago you could have a bit of light-hearted banter with a smiling keeper.

It's the same when you are fielding on the boundary in cricket. Better to take it on the chin and laugh/smile than ignore it all and stubbornly show the fans that you are annoyed. It only makes things worse.

 

The only thing I would add is that these days some fans are very quick to give players vocal stick and what they should do is get behind them and show them a bit of support and sympathy. They are our players after all and don't deliberately make mistakes.

How provocative can a 9 year old be? And if they went down that line, at 9 years old, he is below the age of criminal responsibility.

 

Probably turned round and gave them a little wave as your going down also after listening to the paddock boys constantly give them **** who can blame a 9 year old really

can the club please quickly deny that this has happened , as i cannot believe our club would be that stupid.

 

More chance of finding 20 hens teeth with gold fillings.

I remember my step-son, when he was a ballboy quite some years ago, being told not to celebrate whenever Vale happened to score. In that context, at the Crewe game last Saturday, I actually remarked to my daughter how good it was to see a few of the current crop celebrating like mad when Vale scored; the dude in front of Lorne St with a red hood up was particularly funny. If some away fans were upset by this, then I'd suggest they follow some less passionate sports instead. Ridiculous, if true. If the lad has been banned, for Heaven's sake get him re-instated and tell him to carry on celebrating his own team's goals.

The lad in red hooded,is my son...he's vale mad...he always celebrates... Like the rest of us,impossible not too!!

Plus he's always up for a laugh at away fans expense.

Was a ball-boy banned or not?

AR didn't Norman make some reference to it at the forum in the week, he was going to investigate and have him reinstated? From this it suggests that it there was more to it than rumour.

Personally speaking I'd have no issue with such a search request - more so in today's world of uncertainty in public places.

apparently these extra searches are a directive from the football league in the light of all the recent terror attacks,

Give that dog a bone!

 

Still no confirmation from the head of the ball boys, the guy with the red hoodie or storming norm!

It could well be something that everyone will have to get used to, and Id be amazed if everyone was not searched thoroughly at every Euro 2016 game this summer, possibly more than once per game. A shame, but very necessary at large gatherings.
