Or did the Luton goalie try to kick the Ball boy who was Loft end Stanley Bowles side?
This happened near the end of the game when the ball boy returned the ball past oncoming goalie

Yeh definitely took a swing when the ball boy deliberately threw the ball past him to waste time.

Hmm, I wonder how we'd have reacted if the shoe were on the other foot?

For my money, that's not on. Not sure if he plays in one of our young teams, but if I were QPR I'd say sorry lad, you might have thought you were helping, but that's not on and we're not having you back.

I quite like it when we have shithouse ballboys. I remember one walking up to Fabregas with the ball in his hand then throwing it over his head while he was playing for Chelsea and I was very much in favour of that.

Wasn’t there a particularly good one against spurs I think. Ball boy doing keepy uppys in front of a spurs player near the corner flag then kicking it into the crowd.

Might have been the same game but up the other end where Gareth Bale went half way up the lower loft to retrieve the ball as the fans wouldn’t give it back.

Well, yes, of course, there is a bit of chuckle to be had at such skulduggery. But you just know if we were on the end of it, they'd be all sorts of calls for reprisals on here.

I remember watching Ray Wilkins playing for England berate some South American pup for not giving him the ball back to quickly take a throw on. I'm not saying it was the reason why we went to war with the Argies a few years later, but I bet one of Thatcher's cabinet must have mentioned it as a factor to consider as to why we should retake the islands.

Since then, no South American ball boys have delayed handing the ball back to an England player. Albeit that we somewhat let the whole 'Hand of God' slide in my view and lead indirectly to Ronaldinho taking further liberties in 2002! He wouldn't have dared such cheek if we'd have taken say, the Galapagos Islands after Maradona's impudence.

Luton keeper walked straight down the tunnel at the final whistle too without shaking any players hand.

Yeah one of the Luton fan vlogs had a go at him about that.

I'm with Clive about the ball boys thing. Annoying as hell when it happens to you but it is pretty harmless in the great scheme of things, always entertains home fans and definitely doesn't justify players kicking out at them.

It looked more of a friendly gesture of kicking him as he was nowhere near him from what I see . No problem with the ball boy as he threw the ball towards the goal where it had to be anyway .
Astounding sh!Terry without actually doing anything wrong

It would be well in character for British foreign policy to teach the Argies a lesson by invading the Galápagos Islands … a province of Ecuador.

To be honest I'm with Honney on this one, I know its all a pantomime inside the ground but I think encouraging youngsters to engage in that behaviour is setting a terrible behavioural example for their future. Creating tomorrow's society etc...

My son was a ballboy for the first 2 seasons we had them, Championship winning season of 2011 plus staying up the next year.
He unwittingly nutmegged Petr Cech at the Loft End with about 20 to go in the 1-0 win over them after a shot from us went wide.
Cech ran over shouting leave it, leave it and he dropped kicked it back through his legs. He got the mother of all glares while I got shoulder pats all around me up in JU
If I recall correctly they got rid of the kid who did something to Van De Vaart from Spurs, that apparently was a step too far.
They were told at the start of the season to slow down giving the ball back if we were winning and speed it up if we weren't, on Warnock's orders

No doubt still embarrassed by his pathetic attempt with the second goal - yeh he was wrongfooted, but it still squirmed over the line at snail's pace.

I was right at the front of the Loft when that happened. GB stood there waiting for the ball to be thrown to him and the fan holding it said "If you want it, come and get it monkey boy" GB leapt straight over the fence and took a step or two before the ball was thrown to him with the comment "Alright it was just a bit of banter". He also moved away to another part of the Loft after it too.

The grass is always greener.

The towel in the Stoke game was being thrown around Ellerslie Road! Someone just leant over the barrier and picked it up.

I know Daniel, but there's really no point invading the Falklands to teach South Americans a lesson when we've already got them!
