Knobhead. Ball boy should have launched it at his face.

Ball boy should have two footed him.

It's amazing how in the space of a year ~£50m for a fullback seems decent. Walker has done well, that's for certain, but what on earth is happening to football.

You'd be loving it if Lingard did that to one our ball boys. Calm down.

Also, a lot of posts in this thread have aged well. Lol.
Yeah and you would be frothing.

Have they? His pace constantly gets him out of trouble. The systems suites him perfectly to be fair, but he's hardly brilliant.

Would I be frothing? It's a nothing incident from a game that happened weeks ago.

It's almost as if being quick is some kind of asset and a much desired attribute in football.

The point he’s making is that he gets into trouble in the first place. He’s a pretty useful player but not all that really.

Shocker. You would never expect such a thing to happen to an attacking FB who's encouraged to play high up the pitch or sit narrow in-field, of course.

:rolleyes:

Is he really complaining that the ball boy isn't throwing the ball into his hand like a little bitch or is it just a time wasting technique?

Well he's been excellent for us, if he's 'not all that' then there can't be many full-backs who are 'all that'.

It's not really a fair point though as it's the way the team is being set up. So it's just a huge complementary attribute that is hugely required.

Looking over my shoulder.

I know. It’s like Silva’s great first touch gets him out of tight spaces, or how Lukaku wins headers because of his size(well,maybe not). DDG is literally saved plenty of times because of his quick reflexes. If only they had proper attributes for football.

My friend's cousin dealt with him in a casino he worked at in London a few years ago. I can't remember exactly the issue, but Walker trying to do something that he couldn't do so my mate's cousin told him he's not allowed to do it, so Walker said to him "do you know who I am?" and my friend's cousin just told him he didn't care and that he still couldn't do it. My friend's cousin doesn't follow football but when he mentioned the name I wasn't really surprised. Walker's always seemed like he could be a piece of work behind the facade.

Probably passed a card back to the dealer in BlackJack.

Those are not comparable at all but keep going if you want. He makes a lot errors with his passing and positioning but hasn’t been punished badly yet due to his recovery speed. My point is this is something that sooner or later it he will start getting punished.

And if he’s been brilliant standards have dropped massively.

Time wasting, they were winning late in the game. He should have been booked for it.

Evra also positioned himself wrongly, but he knew he would outpace pretty much any winger, so it didn't matter. His positioning also made him able to counter well. I think it was the reason why he struggled with Lennon, as Lennon was pretty much the only one who would out-accelerate him. Speed is an important asset for any player, especially a fullback. If he can play the way he does without him being punished because of it, then that's one of his attributes that make him good.

What a cnut. That poor kid probably felt humiliated after that.
It is humiliating moments such these that end up being the precursor to mental instability in later life. A once proud and gifted young lad, set for stardom as the worlds greatest ballboy, now doomed to a life of support groups and fluoxetine consumption. Kyle "in the money" Walker has much to answer for.

Someone needs to start a Twitter campaign
