ronnieblair Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Did anyone else notice the following sequence of events involving our 'keeper yesterday, and then have a quiet chuckle too? 85th minute and the ball goes out harmlessly for a goal kick to Oldham. Flahavan walks slowly towards the ball boy behind the goal who promptly retrieves the ball and rolls it towards the advancing 'keeper. Without breaking his stride - or changing his expression - Flav steps over the ball and the ball rolls on for some distance behind him. Flav' advances a couple of more steps and looks at the ball boy, gesturing with arms open - 'Where's the ball son?". The ball boys points frantically to the ball, which has by now come to rest some 10 yards behind Flav. Flav - "What's that son?" (in a pantomime stylee!) Ball boy - "It's behind you!" Flav, hands now on hips, turns his head and feigns some real shock to see that the ball is indeed already back on the pitch. Flav, shaking his head strolls slowly to collect the ball and then manages to waste another 20 seconds setting it up, and kicking it back into play. Total time wasted? - Well in excess of 1 full minute! - with the ref, the Carlisle players, and the home fans absolutely none the wiser! Priceless!

Yeah spotted that at the time, I was sure the ref would at least pull him up but for once we saw something go in our favour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I don't know what it is about Carlisle but funny things happen there. If it's not Chaddy falling off his bike it's Ricketts hitting a ball so far high and wide in the warm up that it lands in the water vat on the other side of the warehouse.
