Was it just me who took JB's post match interview as partly blaming our ball boy for Accy's goal š

No comment on the fact that the defending of corners was terrible all game. Too slow to pick players up and watching for the opposition to play it short.

I don't think he was blaming the ball boy, he just commented that the lad gave them the ball back quickly and we hadn't switched on.
Ultimately another crap goal given away from a poorly defended set piece

Two defenders going to one man & both get turned inside out, allow the cross and inexplicably someoneās stood on the 6 yard line completely unmarked.
As woeful a goal youāll ever see (from a defensive view)

Thought he blamed the players for not clearing their lines and just added that the ball boy didn't help matters.

You do wonder where they get the ball boys from sometimes.
What do they do between match days.
Hope they are brought in for a session on Monday to review their performance.

The purpose of ball boys is to retrieve the ball and give to a player as quickly as possible. To keep the game flowing.
Their position should be impartial.

Everyone knows they are told to give the ball to us quickly and to the opposition a little slower to make sure we do not get caught out by a quick throw in. To blame a loss in any small part to a child is reprehensible and indefensible. |

Considering how much time we put into our attacking corners,we are very sleepy when defending them.
Bloody awful goal to concede today.

Barton seriously needs to engage his brain before speaking after games. |

I thought that GC changed to ball boys, it used to be done by the Young Pirates, but he wanted kids from the Adademy, so that they got the chance to be pitchside and this would give them a better opportunity of learning. Also they would be more switch on re tactics, when to return the ball quickly et. |

I heard it too and it just reaffirmed that this bloke will blame anyone else especially those with no voice to respond instead of himself. No thought given just words pouring out like a bully might when caught red handed for something.
We donāt pick up the oppositions players at corners or switch off completely - it has happened over and over again.
For our corners ā¦ Evans canāt get the ball past the first defender or Like today Coutts chips the ball straight to their keeper again and againā¦
WTF are they doing during the week in training ā¦ itās seriously pathetic !

Wasn't there an away game we were involved in last season where the ball boys were blatantly told to take the p*ss once the home side were winning? |

We started the season quite well with our corners and attacking free kicks with some of the shorter ones and we scored a few. Since the opposition worked out that's what we were doing its been very poor since. Defending corners has been bad all season since the first day and clearly there has been no improvement |

I don't believe he was trying to criticise the ballboy directly (at least I hope not), but there was no need to mention the lad at all. |He could have said what he said and made the point about how slow and naive his players were without mentioning the actions of the ball boy who has been lumped in (directly or indirectly) with those words I hope Joey gets to speak to the kid and apologise as he should never have been brought into it |

Do you remember the Swansea ball boy who got Hazard sent off.
Kid had a mug which had troll written all over it. It was vomit inducing to hear the commentators show faux concern for the ākickā Hazard gave him.
That whole incident showed how stupid the modern world is. The kid should have been given a clip round the ear and been replaced. Instead, for trying to unfairly influence a game, he got an opposition player sent off.
Mad.
