So what do you guys think of the new ball that's in this season?

[Olly]

My take on it.

Good points: Spectacular goals from long shots and close power headers.

Bad points: Crazy ricochets and rebounds around the goal. Poorer first touches. More GK errors. Less first-time fast short passing. Sometimes too fast for GK's to re-act to.

I think it's spoiling the game.

The problem with the new ball is that the good points only seem to work for the opposition and the bad points are especially obvious with QPR!

Ball is fine. Only really bad ball was the addidas Jubilani

Footballs should be white.... And football boots should be black.

should be lace up footballs that get heavy as a medicine ball when sodden....that would sort out the men from the prima donnas!

Load of old cr@p aint it blaming "the ball". A ball is a ball - they're professional footballers and train with em everyday, (not that anybody has), but blaming an error on a ball is / would be pathetic.
