From bbc.co.uk FA to probe Bramall Lane fracas

The Football Association are to investigate the touchline fracas which marred Sheffield United's 2-1 win over Barnsley on Tuesday.

Both managers and their benches were forced apart by police and stewards as Barnsley boss Simon Davey complained about the use of the multi-ball system.

The incident was included in referee Grant Hegley's report and the FA will now examine video evidence.

Both Davey and Blades counterpart Kevin Blackwell played down the incident.

Davey said: "It was nothing really. I was disappointed with the multi-ball system. That was the issue."

"When Sheffield United scored their first goal all the balls disappeared. We had 24 when we were drawing and then there's one ball in the stadium when we're losing the game.

"I spoke to the referee and there were words exchanged, but it's nothing."

Blackwell, who refused to comment on the police's intervention, said: "I don't control the multi-ball system and it never went missing. I don't know what he's on about."

When John Beck was manager of Cambridge United, he used to train the ball boys. They used to throw the ball back quickly for the home team, but delay it and throw it back to the away teams feet. They also used to dry the ball for their own team, but roll it along the ground on wet days for the away side.

Other masterpieces were to grow the grass long in the corners to suit his long ball game, set the heating in the oppo's dressing room to very hot on hot days and I believe moved the away teams dug out so somewhere illogical so they couldn't send instructions very easily.

I'm slightly disappointed!

Numpty. Have you personally met every ball boy and judged their intelligences?

dont know how it is at a league level but at wharfies we used to train our ballboys/girls to do that. throw it to us in the hand and not rush for them. unless we were down then they would get it back asap.

seems its up to the club as they are the ones who organise them.

note to tony p, please teach our ball boys/girls this. if not lets get a group from YF to become the ballboys!
