    Is the green grass causing an issue in using a white ball?

    To extort even more money out of the FA, clubs and fans alike, on the pretence that it is 'revolutionary technology'. A football's a football, stop fcking about with it!!

    Here comes Hemsie to present the case for the manufacturers....

    Because 5:14pm would've been too precise.

    Is the answer , because a white ball would clash with Swansea`s white kit?
    Oh wait they are playing purple! So it must clash with everton and their Blue kit? Oh wait , no it does not !
    I have no idea why they **** about with stuff all the time ?

    They said that about the yellow balls. And they weren't. Now that fad has worn off, it's time for a new colour. It's all about money, sport manufacturers are the biggest crooks in the world after bankers and oil barons.

    I know exactly what they would have done. Sampled grass, sky stadium images, colour analysis, feed into computers and let it decide the complementary colour to all that info. Wow, pioneering technology. Bollacks. The football hit it's peak in the mid 80s and there is no reason to have changed it since.

    I dont think it is at all, if that was the case then all the Hi Viz ***** would be Pink, Yes I know there are SOME that are pink, but the reason that Hi Viz stuff is that Yellowish colour is that it is the one that stands out from everything else, this is not a theory from the football makers, but a fact from all the H&S biddies.

    It also explains why nobody has scored a hat trick in the cup.
