The opposite happens in Ecuador when clubs from other countries play in Quito. Due to the high altitude other teams have trouble catching their breath so whenever the ball went out of play the ball boys were instructed to immediately give the ball to the opponent. This prevented the opposition from taking a small break getting the ball and didn't let them catch their breath. This was done to try to wear them down quicker lol.

On the Peter Crouch Podcast, they did a segment on "sh*thousery" and asked people to submit instance of when they'd done some troll-y things in their careers. One of 'em was a ball boy for a Premier League team. According to him, the manager told the ballboys to try and get under the skin of the opposing players that week. So, the kid gave one of the guys some crap as he was giving him a ball. And then he scored. And pointed directly at the kid. And then he scored again. The next day, the manager fired him as a ballboy.

@@TimBowSpice So, you didn't see the first ball go into the stands, and didn't notice that the kid didn't keep eye contact on the goalie because he was tracking the ball? Kid wasn't violating that rule, at least. It says he needs to make eye contact before TOSSING the ball to the player. It says nothing about handing the ball and maintaining eye contact. The only thing that might have been "douchey" about the kid was whether he was giving preferential treatment to his own team with regard to the speed of his delivery. I didn't see any clips of him interacting with the home team, so I make no judgment. Maybe you watched the game and saw the kid only stall for the visitors? If so, great; if not, you're possibly guilty of being a "complete douche."

I think he shouldn't have shoved the kid for posterity's sake and just eating the time loss and hoping the ref accounts for it or reprimand the ball boy. But it's not wrong because you shouldn't lightly shove a kid playing dirty. That kid loved everything that happened there

[@annamariaisland1960]

years ago, I saw a Chilean football match in La Serena. The stadium had a lot of room behind the goals, unlike the one shown in the videa, and one of the local radio announcers was positioned behind the goal defended by home team. Near the end of the game, the home team was ahead, but the visitors were pressing. A shot on goal missed and rolled over near the announcer. He kicked it further away from the field to the annoyance of the visiting team players. The referee saw this, and threw the announcer off the field! Caribineros escorted the man to make sure, so the announcer used the moment to interview them on air. You can't make this stuff up! Anyway, that time-killing ploy was similar to what the goal keeper in the video thought was going on with the ball boy.

Here, not only does it happen way more often, but it's just ignored or accepted as part of the game. Also, the clock does not stop after a foul or when the ball goes out of bounds like in other sports. This is why they add stoppage time after the 90 minutes which is a complete joke. If you've ever seen a game after the 90 minute mark, you've seen guys on the winning side dropping to the ground or just taking forever to do anything trying to secure the game.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYu6YpKCqZimeK8 Similar to baseball, football has its own set of hidden tactics. With baseball its framing pitches and stealing signs/picking off runners.

Raheem Sterling diving is wrong. Chelsea v. Swansea ball boy was wrong. But with Pep Guardiola's ball boys and with the Bournemouth ball boy, they were doing it well.

Probably not necessary for most, but: - Fulham keeper wants the ball back quickly after the penalty kick goal because they're down 0-2 and the clock is ticking, so the Bournemouth player taking the ball out of the net himself was absolutely, 100% him trolling. - Fulham keeper, remembering that previous incident, likely assumed the Bournemouth employed ballboy was also trolling him. - Ballboy may or may not have been being cheeky by not tossing the ball, but he _was_ trying to keep his eyes on the other ball he needed to retrieve because it was in the hands of spectators, and there's always a risk a spectator will try to hide a ball or something so they can keep it (match balls are like 200 bucks). Perhaps the ballboy was reluctant to make a no-look toss of the first ball to the Fulham keeper. That's plausible. - The Bournemouth players claiming to be upset by the push was definitely half-gamesmanship -- they're up in the score, it's to their advantage to use the opportunity to waste time, and maybe even get the Fulham keeper ejected -- remember, that guy already had a yellow card.

And if Bournemouth arnt winning I don't think their players do anything there, one of those things were they make a big deal of it to burn time and kill off the game, if they're losing and chasing they won't give AF. Do more football breakdowns, love it.

[@moallayoussef5462]

it's literal etiquette and manners from ball boys to hand the ball as fast as possible so this one being this petty is not the keeper's fault

[@carfreak290]

a professional athlete touching a kid who was doing absolutely nothing "threatening" to him is always the athletes fault.

[@mz610]

...I have no issue with the push.....

[@metalmadness3056]

Ball boys need to stop trying to delay the game when their team is winning

[@theodorelopez8971]

That ball boy knew exactly what he was doing.

[@TbarRocks]

Club claimed they didn't and have never instructed ball kids to stall which is a complete lie. Soccer is hard to watch sometimes with all the douche elements.

[@ObamAmerican48]

"I'm the boss of this relationship" 🤣🤣. Perfect. You have the best fekkin' KZbin channel, hands down.

[@ikigai47]

why is that stall tactic even allowed? what's to stop a ball boy from escalating it, pretending he tripped and the ball goes into the front row, then the fans start playing keep away with the ball? at what point does the clock stop?

[@taags]

The ballboy was in the wrong.

[@carlmanvers5009]

Ball boys do their best to stall for their team all the time. Sadly it's part of the game.

[@Mcgridddle]

brother this kid made eye contact with the keeper then just looked away and ignored him.

[@asdfaeou]

Ball boys are known to every so often try and give their club the slightest edge, so I can understand both the kid doing his job and the frustration of the keeper. Doesn't excuse the shove, of course.

[@thomasmcnabb6472]

Great stuff - more Premiere League!!

[@4400seriesFAN]

100% WITH the GK! Never should have apologized!

[@chl2161]

Ball boy was not doing his job. This is so common on football, they do it to kill time and the home team went to defend him to kill time also, that's why the crowd is cheering for the boy too. If the home team were losing and a ball boy didn't hurried up, a player could've decked him and the crowd would cheer the player.

[@gonzogilberto4690]

You missed the ending. They sent the kid to the stands!

[@GildedShame]

The kicker was in the right.

[@AapVanDieKaap]

It's the "Premier League" not the "Premiere League". Common mistake I've noticed Americans make. premier Premier is another way of saying “first” or “best” like the premier ice cream store on the block that always has a line snaking around the corner. In a political sense a premier is a head of state. premiere A premiere is the first showing of a work of art. A movie premiere often takes place in Los Angeles or New York, with stars in attendance and the iconic red carpet rolled out to greet them.

[@df4196]

If you’re gonna act like you’re on the team then get treated like you’re on the team.

[@surfwriter8795]

Great breakdown. Very engaging! Awesome channel.

[@jbrew256]

I realize it's harder to break down European soccer clips since English generally isn't the dominant language when everyone loses their cool... but man there's some insane drama in the soccer.

[@tystin_gaming]

"I the professional player earning multiple hundred thousands of dollars apologize for pushing the ball boy that may have earned $8.25 and hour working this game...." They should have stormed you like they did Pres Snow in the hunger games.

[@_JM26]

You gotta do more soccer, Jomboy. 👍

[@PinkSheepification]

This is what I love about the Prem 😂 ballboys, fans and players are all shithousers lmao. Ballboys are 100% part of the team, and you can watch their pace for their team versus the other. Coaches on the sidelines will often try to intercept the ball first so they can get it back in play faster, same with subs on. Ballboys and subs are also known to chat a bit of shit during the game and cause a bit of tension with the players on the pitch. The fan interaction adds so much personality to the games, never quite know if a kid will get shoved by an athlete lmao

[@shawn1928]

Delay of game penalty on the ball boy? Nah seriously, he's supposed to be neutral in this game, and he dragged his feet to give the keeper the ball. Push was inappropriate, but I wasn't bothered by it for the reasons above

[@kirihara147]

haha delay of game penalty in soccer lol. that's the whole point of this game to waste as much time as possible

[@GunslingerAlGilead]

just finished watching Liverpool Fulham in the Carabao cup. Leno was wasting the time so shamelessly, so it’s funny to see him being mad over that 😂

[@jBownz]

gotta respect the keeper owning up to it immediately. Having a shit day, heat of the moment frustration. Most would have addressed it post-game. Keeper gets beyond his emotions and makes nice on the pitch. gotta respect that.

[@FussyPickles]

if you dont think the ballboy was shit talking him the whole game, well, welcome to premier league our ballboy got shoved too, shame it didn't make headlines but our bench flew off its handle ballboys do push the limit.. we had one ballboy get a special tour from our coach for his 'assist' for a goal

[@ludvig3242]

If they're gonna push the limits, then maybe a push or two now and then is fair

[@blahblah49000]

Simple solution: stop the clock when the ball isn't in play, then it won't matter if the ballboy is delaying. But, nah, that would make too much sense, because soccer was invented before stopwatches or something...

[@scentsoftravelmeditation]

Imagine being so morally bankrupt that your willing to destroy a child who’s never done anything but helped you. That will stay with him for years

[@ninjalectualx]

Christiano Ronaldo would never apologize for beating up a teenager!

[@michaelclark1330]

Ever since the Eden Hazard incident, the ball boys seem to fail at their only job!!! I will always side with the player who has to “fight” to get the ball.

[@d.c.1059]

Humanity prevails, great story!!!

[@AutumnReel4444]

Ball boys stalling is messed up, the clock in soccer is pretty wack. If you are intentionally stalling you gonna get pushed this is pro sports. Glad they reconciled.

[@Djiehh]

Ball boys should do their job no matter what the score is. Unsportsmanlike conduct such as time wasting by players can be punished, just because the ball boys can't be punished, it shouldn't be a blank cheque to do what they want. Football at that level is a million dollar business, so being involved at any scope should mean you do your job professionally. The groundsman won't destroy the pitch on one side to give the home team an advantage, the media crew won't suddenly turn on the music to distract the away team, so the ball boys have to act neutral and professionally as well. It's the job of the fans in the stands to make the game as hard as possible for the visiting team.

[@elboujdainiilias2244]

Actually, the ball boy has a fault too. He purposely didn't give the ball so fast intending to waste enough time

[@DustpanJoe]

I loveeeeee when you cover soccer Jimmy. Thanks for all you do.

[@Nyjeezy]

Ball boy got over it quick. I will never understand the dramatics of soccer players

[@Coolbeansztm]

Great video but why is the screen only 75% of the screen

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

I think it's perhaps because there is an area of law called 'copyright' that tries to ensure that creators get paid & are thus motivated to keep creating. If Jomboy make a higher quality version then the audience might feel they don't need to buy the product, thus affecting the Premier League's profits & breaching copyright, thereby causing the Premier League to make copyright claims which demonetize Jomboys videos However, it perhaps can be argued that copyright wouldn't be violated because Jomboy isn't affecting their profits at all because he's selling a completely different product because he's adding brilliant & funny analysis. So the answer to your question might be because KZbin is shit in that it is allowing content owners e.g. the Premier League to demonetize videos unfairly.
