Saw John run off with no shirt on. I assumed he had just given it to a fan. Well done to John

I've always thought that this was a bit dangerous so close to the crowd.  I presume that they do it there so that the crowd will throw the balls back.  A safer option would be to do it in the middle of the pitch and have selected staff or even fans retrieving the balls for the players.  It's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured - hopefully the young lad today is OK.
