I thought we played no bad, I was quite half cut during the game to be fair lol.Bit off topic but I hated the Irn Bru ball in the Third Division last year, looked like a supermarket ball.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Shite players complain about a ball. Great players practice until they're comfortable using it.Diego Forlan had no problems using that Jabulani thing in South Africa.Can't say I've noticed anything unusual with the Brazuca though.

That's the real one.The cheaper ones are of various conventional forms.The Tango was a classic. My mate had the heavy rubberish one, which was great for scaring keepers and defenders afraid to get in its way. I'm convinced that ball made my shot stronger.

Got one from eBay for £20 with a few scuffs on it which isn't bad considering they sell for £80 brand new in some places. Only bought it after I managed to get one for £35 which was brand new with the Rangers/Clydesdale Bank markings on it and decided it was too good to use as I'll never get one at that price again.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Was it the original Tango that had the ball bearing inside it ?I thought that ball-bearings inside the ball was an innovation for the Paralympics football, to allow those who are partially unsighted to hear where the ball was.
