Its that time of year again, Novemeber sees the football league use Yellow footballs up until March. Will this effect us in the Prem? I don't seem to remember seeing any yellow balls in recent seasons.

I take it this is something to do with their promotion of the game to the gay community?

They say it provides maximum visibility every year.

I wonder how much money Nike have wasted colouring in footballs?

Do you mean in Stabilo Highlighter costs, or manpower? Malaysian sweatshop children work for 10p a day, but they can be a little careless around the edges...

if only they could invent a system of lights that could be put around the pitch to illuminate it when it's dark, then we wouldn't have this problem

I know, I'm not thinking high technology or anything, just perhaps four big pylons in the corner of the ground. Put a big bank of lights on each one.

did nobody watch soccer am on saturday? tim lovejoy previewed all the different balls which are being used in all the different leagues from november! mostly yellow as far as i believe!

crossie · by **crossie** » 02 Nov 2006 21:06

they should have a ball outlined in blue and red, then you could watch the match with 3D glasses and see the ball quite clearly.

no, ok, maybe not.

Its amazing how they continue to improve on maximum 100% visibility each year.

I think each ball must now be at least 174% visible

I think that the ball should be the colour of the home club, hence ours being Blue and White

I hope we have the same results as we did with the yellow ball last year.

No league defeats whatsoever!!!!!
