High visibility ball my arse...

Watched the game in a bar here in Corralejo and could not see the ball for most of the game, only time I could see it was when it rolled on the snow and left a track behind it, honestly thought it was going to get abandoned though….
 
I suspect that the Premier League have some sort of contract with whoever makes that crappy ball & the clubs have no choice but to use it. Obviously, as they only had £ signs on their minds, nobody thought that it would possibly snow in the winter & a different colour would be needed.
 
I had a pristine 1966 World Cup Umbro orange leather football for Christmas from Rileys Sports in Codder 1966/67. It had faux autographs of all the England team printed onto it. My Grandad wouldn't let me play with it was well 'dubined', that was a cross between torture and child cruelty. I saw one the other week had fetched 7 grand in an auction, I should have listened to Joe.
 
STOP PRESS.......After yesterday's near farcical conditions at the King Power when a slight dusting of snow rendered the official 'Nike' Premier League Hi-Vis Winter Ball as good as useless, boffins and high-ranking Premier League officials have this morning delivered a large box of these to all 20 PL clubs.
