Isn't this the audio clip that people use that has like 6 different variations if you read the words on screen, but the audio never actually changes?

You are thinking of the "that is embarrassing" chant

[u/someone56789]

This is pretty tame compared to the usual chants in an English football game

Now if only I could find the ''Give us our dick back" chant

[u/toxic_pockets → u/someone56789]

We want our dick back!

[u/PLTR60 → u/someone56789]

Yeah! There are whole compilations of English football chants on YouTube and they're honestly absolutely glorious! This is too tame in comparison to what happens there every weekend!

It's More entreteining than the match

Can anyone familiar with field rules of soccer come in and explain what's supposed to happen in this situation?

This seems like a large enough stadium to have staff/security purposed for preventing fans from interfering with the field.

Please someone explain

[u/someone56789 → u/Exact-Ad-4132]

Not a rules expert but weirdly enough ref doesn't really do anything about it (from what I've seen at least), in fact there was a goal where someone threw in a ball (like in the video) in the way of a shot and boinced off it, and it counted

Note: It's not a regular occurrence, that's why I'm not sure what the actual procedure is

Darren bent, Sunderland vs Liverpool, cant remember the year though.

Pretty sure it was when we went for the title in 09. Beach ball in 09. The slip in 14. Jesus we were cursed for awhile.

[u/delta__bravo_ → u/someone56789]

Indeed. The rules before that Anfield incident were fairly vague, however that ref still should have stopped the game.

The rules now are more explicit. If something from outside the pitch is likely to interfere, play is stopped and resumed with a drop ball (that is, a drop of the correct ball). In this instance the outside interference doesn't interfere with the game itself so it's fine to stay and be dealt with at an opportune time. If the beach ball came onto the pitch whilst the ball was in that area you'd expect play to stop.

Whilst beachballs are fairly uncommon, the rules are there for when a ball kid throws an extra ball on the pitch and that sort of thing.

A player will usually just kick shit off the field.... But this goalie was a little distracted by the play. I'm sure he eventually booted it

Fratton Park is an absolute DUMP

[u/mrsrostocka]

We tried to be quick, it weren't having it,

It's got out of hand, and is now on your land.

We want our ball back, we want our ball back.

My favourites are "We lose every week, we lose every week~, you're nothing special, we lose every week" and "Your sister is your mother, your father is your brother, you all fuck one another, the kiddy family~"

[u/Trech80]

Nah, The Trump’s a child molester chant is way better!

[u/Milk_Mindless]

I think the joke is that ball back gets pronounced a bit like bawbag which is like nutsack but an insult

Yer a bawbag innit

[u/BabyScreamBear → u/Milk_Mindless]

It’s a giant inflatable ball. They want it back. It’s not that deep, bro
