Zoo Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 So, they've done something really radical and brought out a... ball. It's round. It looks like every other ball. Big fucking deal. Bit it's not a pretty ball... I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Is The Albert (hall) cockney rhyming slang for ball? If not it seems a very odd name for a football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they should have put a pic of Albert Hall on it or something to make the ball a bit less bland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 It annoys me how everything that we have in this country goes to London. I understand that the games this year are in London but they could have come up with something that would appeal to all of the English rather than just the cockney folk down South. IMO they should have called it 'The Scone' then there could be a mass debate over whether it was pronounced Skonn or Scowne and there could be a global intrigue as to how fucking mental the English are.

To many outside of Britain, England (and the rest of the UK) is just London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 "The Albert creates mass appeal to the British public, as well as creating global intrigue." What planet do marketing people live on ? It's a fucking ball!!!!!!!!! How can they makesuch a fanfare over a bastard ball?!!! Yes people, you may have noticed this has wound me up. I'm in a shitty mood, I had a 'mare of a night last night (in part) followed by watching us play like a group of people who had infact wandered onto the pitch from a home for people with Alzheimer's and didn't have a clue who each other was.
