Has nothing on a mitre mouldmaster.
A size 4 could reach parts other balls couldn'tPlaying 11’s with the BB using a mould master on a red gravel pitch on a pishing Sunday morning in January was how real men were made!
Still got the imprint on my thighHas nothing on a mitre mouldmaster.
You missed out getting skudded on the inside of the thigh with it.Playing 11’s with the BB using a mould master on a red gravel pitch on a pishing Sunday morning in January was how real men were made!
I’ve had nightmares of my mitre 5 imprints as a young lad!Still got the imprint on my thigh
It was like kicking concrete on a winters morning on the ash. We would have been better playing with a medicine ball. Kids of today have no idea, thankfully for them!!Playing 11’s with the BB using a mould master on a red gravel pitch on a pishing Sunday morning in January was how real men were made!
Spent ages trying to figure out what deacjr meant.We’ve all no doubt played with a lot of balls In our time,but this Nike I purchased last week for deacjr is way and above anything I’ve played with.
Great flight and the speed across the grass is incredible,very impressed.
Remember those days guaranteed some poor kid was greeting after taking 1 square in the puss. When that fcuker hit year ear it was gowping and red raw for days.Playing 11’s with the BB using a mould master on a red gravel pitch on a pishing Sunday morning in January was how real men were made!
Why has the mitre ball the SPFL use not changed in about 3/4 years now?

My two all-time favourites have to be the Adidas Fevernova from the 2002 World Cup and the first Total 90 ball used in 2005.
The leather came off it and it turned into a medicine ball when it got wet, then a week later it looked like a dinosaur egg.Canny beat a proper waterlogged leather baw....the kind that stunts your growth after heeding it....and strengthens your metatarsals after every kick
I always thought it had a nice, soft, almost lFevernova was too light, was dead unpredictable.

Surely you mean a Saturday morning as we were all at church on the sunday. Cowlairs pitches on wet and windy Saturday morning .Ye couldny beat it . Well ye could actuallyPlaying 11’s with the BB using a mould master on a red gravel pitch on a pishing Sunday morning in January was how real men were made!
Good scrub with a pumice stone too!Going home to sit in the bath and pick red ash out of your knee's was my BB football highlights.
Surely your BB's didn't play on the sabbath? Day of rest.
I could have sworn it was a Sunday! Maybe my mind deceived me!
Love playing with my balls, cheers OP

Agree with the Fevernova, definitely had a softer feel about it to me. The Jabulani for South Africa in 2010 was the one I remember as being too unpredictable. That thing had the flight of a paper aeroplane.I always thought it had a nice, soft, almost l
padded feel to it. Don’t remember it being too unpredictable myself, but maybe my mind is playing tricks. The 2006 WC ball was the one I remember as being too unpredictable... definitely the first I remember hearing people complain about (maybe I was too young to remember complaints about the Fevernova).

Brings tears to my eyes just thinking of playing school football in 70's with that beast.

Saturday mornings at 10am was the BB k.o time.
BBs Saturday morning, school team Saturday half-twelve. Then just enough time to get to Fir Park, Douglas Park, or Broomfield.I know mines was a Saturday, would be BB's on a Friday night then seeing the team 8 hours later for something mental like a 8.30 am kick off!
Some of the bleak mornings I turned up it felt like 5 in the morning
