Ball boys have been known to purposely stall. Eden Hazard kicked a Swansea ball boy a few years ago

[@TyrannoJoris_Rex]

Hazard’s was fine because that ball boy was actively trying to keep the ball away from him. This one the ball boy was doing his job while keeping an on the ball that went up into the stands

@@Bosilaify That's the home field advantage.

[@chewbacca90210]

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.

"Ball boys also have their own guidelines to follow regarding giving the ball back once it has gone out of play. A minimum of eight assistants must be stationed around the pitch. They have been told that they must make eye contact with the player restarting play before throwing the ball and must give the it back at the same speed to both clubs competing on the day."

So why should we be angry at the keeper? The ballboy was acting like a complete douche, and should face consequences. Jomboys compliments to the crowd and team for defending the corruption of their own is exactly what is wrong with sports.

[@andrewneedham3281]

@@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."

[@TheHeadincharge]

@@andrewneedham3281Look mate, you clearly don’t know the rules or watch the game very much, so maybe pipe down just a bit. The unwarranted confidence some of y’all have about things you clearly know nothing about is honestly wild. Regardless, the fact that the kid didn’t toss the ball and walked slowly is in clear violation of the rule, regardless of the reason why. None of us can say for sure whether the kid did it on purpose or not, but broadly speaking, this type of thing does happen on purpose all the time and ball boys are commonly instructed or encouraged to stall for time if it helps the home team.

[@arktrooper8223]

You actually missed another part in this gane where the ref went over to the sidelines and told the boss of the ballboys to reign them in and stop timewasting

[@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.

[@shekelmcfreckle]

@@TheDogGoesWoof69thanks to them the players can choose between getting shot or having their heads sawed off when people get a little heated over what happened in the sports game

Same type of people that end up making comments like the NBC exec that said he had no sympathy for 400 injured in the Vegas Shoe-Tin because they were probably T45 voters. Always an excuse and justification for bad behavior and never consistent around the board.

Not a good apology. A GREAT apology. This could've been a huge thing. But the kid didn't go down, and the keeper did a humble apology

@@billyboy9744 the ball boy was stalling, playing dirty, trying to give his team a dirty advantage. Plus he's probably literally part of the team in youth training. A light shove is a nice fuck you in my opinion, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I mean if you've met kids you understand they don't exactly play by any polite rules. 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

it’s crazy because this behavior is 100% encouraged if an opposing keeper is asking for the ball. Not saying it’s right, but Leno knows that game.

[@munmunyee]

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. In football it's diving/drawing fouls and clock management. With all of these, I strongly believe that there's a way to do it right, and a way to do it wrong. Astros stealing signs was wrong. 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. Wasted time on the clock to the benefit of their team without making too much of an offending fuss for the overall flow of the game.

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.

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.

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.

The kid was not trying to get the ball in the crowd. Knew exactly what he was doing. Deserved a shove, no big fuss

[@dwzcollege]

Grown men should not shove children. You get him in trouble like with the guy in the bright "supervisor" vest. The kid was a douche but shoving a kid is out of line. Be the adult.

[@tommy_vids]

Take it easy get the kid off the pitch then. He’s interfering in a professional sport. He barely touched him

[@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.

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.

Assault? Far from it

[@KittyBangBangBoom]

This went pretty well. In the states there would have been several lawsuits filed LMAO

[@ShoreFell]

I’ve seen worse from ball boys and players towards ball boys. This was tame 😂

[@jayforeman5299]

Wasting time when your team is winning is just as a part of the game as faking injuries. What an amazing sport.

[@seantimmons5900]

Wasting time when winning and faking injuries never happens in football or basketball except when it does.

[@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037]

And this is why soccer is not taken seriously

[@jonhowe2960]

@@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037 By the billions of people who make it by far the most lucrative and popular sport in the world

[@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037]

@@jonhowe2960 what you meant to say was “The billions of impoverished, uneducated, illiterate citizens of the third world countries who are so easily entertained that they enjoy watching fake athletes pretend to get hurt.” Get real dude, soccer is only popular because it gives poor people something to do.

[@jayforeman5299]

@@seantimmons5900 The main difference is that when a player does flop in the NBA for example, they are usually called out for it and ridiculed by everyone including the commentators. 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. And yes, it is a popular sport but think of how much more popular it would be if they got rid of the obviously fake injuries and time wasting.

[@chrisrozens1125]

Everyone handled it pretty well ultimately

[@chrisgeorge84]

Crazy even kids are flopping now.

[@Stokie99]

I would be upset if a grown man pushes a child but I will say this. Your job as a ball boy/girl is to give the ball to the players just give them the ball don't be a dickhead and act like the players do by not throwing the ball to the opposition and waiting for them to come to you. The Referee will just add time on anyway to the idea of stalling the restart is dumb.

[@Crunchy_Zen]

More EPL for sure Jomboy! Maybe something on how away teams will sometimes celebrate in front of opposing fans corner. Don't understand that really

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@carlmanvers5009]

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

[@yopappy6599]

Looks like the ball boy was stalling on purpose. The push seemed like what you’d get from your uncle for being a butthead, didn’t seem there was real animosity to it. Still not a good look though. 😂

[@df4196]

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