Behind Closed Doors and Multiball

[cooprfc]

Daft thought came into my head earlier about the SPFL's decision not to allow Multiball. If no fans in the ground, it could take quite a long time to get the ball back.

Surely they will now allow Multiball this season which should help us. Think we use it well to our advantage in European games.

Then again, the SPFL probably think a ballboy clambering over rows of seats to retrieve a ball is a good look for our game to be beamed around the country.

Isn’t it an affordability issue with the diddy clubs? I can’t see them affording it now if they could afford it on sell out Saturday.

Multiball behind closed doors?

Sounds like something that would get the mentally challengeds excited.

Never understood this, do they warm up and train with one ball as well?

 

[Portrushbear]

It would have to be used or there'd be about 15 minutes actual game time in Scotland

Not been multi ball in the kraut games so far and they've got by okay.

Maybe they try to play football unlike the duffers in our league who would likely aim for Row ZZ to waste time.

Aye but they've not got teams actively setting up since minute one to just hold a shape, slow game down and be difficult to play through.

Sensible idea to use multiball in empty stadium. So won't be used

It is utter bullshit.

It is a suppression tactic, to kill the pace of the game.

Multi ball systems use 6 extra balls, claiming clubs can't afford 6 balls is complete and utter shit.

I’m pretty sure the league supply all the clubs with the balls anyway so it’s not even a cost for the clubs

You both have a valid point.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

We'll have to use blowaways so the diddy teams can afford it.

They have had balls sitting on cones on the sidelines for when the ball goes into the stand.

There are balls round the side of the pitch.

There has been multi ball

Smaller Teams often try this going to the big clubs just like in any league. We saw Athletico madrid do it against Liverpool aswell , it happens at all levels on all competitions.

Of course but they aren't usually aided by only using one ball which can be booted into the stand and will take a decent amount of time to get back.

I'm all for teams doing what they need to do but it will be daft if we stick to one ball in the circumstances.

I’m sure I noticed loads of balls placed around the side of the pitch.
