Are Ball Boys started being used at big matches i.e. behind the goals giving the ball back quickly to the goalkeeper?

Hey, what's your problem? If you come to Dublins patch you play by Dublins rules. Got it? You better or else I'll bleedin bite ya.

I think its a great thing.  First noticed them at the U21 semi final.

Not a recent phenomenon by any stretch. They were there under pillar caffrey's reign too though they seem more prevelant at Dublin games.

Ball boys were stationed down Jones Rd last year when Mayo were playing in Croke Park   :-*

Sure I used to do that back in the 80s in Tullamore. My father was training Ferbane, and when we were attacking with the wind, I used stand behind the goal with a spare ball and kick the ball back into the opposition goalkeeper after a Ferbane shot. I'd disappear for the other half of the game then.

Ya get them at Casement but they never bring the ball back, the wee fcukers
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Looking in from Jones Rd is about the only time ye're crowd will see Croke Park.
