Surely they could have let him have it as a once-in-a-lifetime souvenir?

[Mick-Talbot]

Strange, many balls are used during a match.

Petty.

[jno]

"de-arrested"? When was that word invented?

Anyway... it was a once in a lifetime thing for Man City too, so I can see why they might like it for their little trophy cupboard.

couldnt the lad arrested take back a replica ball and kept the original ?

[TTG]

A one hundred million pound football.

[ummmm]

It's was ball the scored the winning goal. I would want it back...

[bluebirdino]

incidentally , did Aguero get a booking for removing his shirt after scoring the winner ,would seem rather cruel if he did !

[ludwig]

Not petty. A kid nicked their ball and they want it back because it's an important one.

I think it may be the first since '68 but the first of many to come

They are backed by a Gaszillionaire.

Surely they can beat any Clayton roughians in an ebay bidding war.
