Genuine incidence of fans influencing the game yesterday
When we had been under intense pressure for 10 minutes toward the end of the game yesterday, the ball was cleared into the Ninian Stand.
Brighton players charged over to try to take a quick throw in to put further pressure on the now stretched City defence.
A fan in the crowd however had other ideas and delayed returning the ball for long enough for our defence to reorganise and in the meantime wound up the over sensitive Lewis Dunk, getting him booked as a bonus.
Brighton failed to get through and soon after we broke and Bong dived in and got sent off.
After that we saw the game out comfortably.
I'm sure the pious mob who will slate me for this, but well done to the fan who did his bit to help us get a point .

He should be banned for life for keeping the ball 10 seconds longer than he could have? HAHA.

Well done to the 12th man (or woman) .
Re: Genuine incidence of fans influencing the game yesterday
I don't know why we didn't do it before, every time the ball comes into the crowd let's keep it. think of all them nil nils we will achieve.
Brilliant.

One of our ball boys did something similar in the Huddersfield game and nearly got lamped by one of their coaches.

Same thing with that jack ballboy (who was 18 years old!!) a few years back?

Re: Genuine incidence of fans influencing the game yesterday
Against Serbia I thought our ball-boy on the Ninian side was far too eager to get the ball back to the Serbia players and in play quickly which eventually backfired as we ran out of legs.
There are different speeds you can get the ball back into play from ball-boy or fans perspective (noticeably slow, slightly slow, regular, fast) and I wouldn't be against ours understanding when the team would want it fast and when they needed it slightly slow, just as long as it wasn't all throughout the match. There is taking the piss and overplaying your part but there is some you can do before that point.

Blackburn in the fa cup if I remember rightly. Liverpool were either losing or drawing and scored from what was, I think, the last play of the game.
