- Why not make the whole ball out of a chip? (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Jun 30, 17:14:59
  - is anyone else getting hungry for some chips? (n/m) (Other Football) - matt in london, Jun 30, 17:23:17
    - mmmmmmmmm chips (Other Football) - Old Git, Jun 30, 17:28:48
- unless the chipis exactly in the middle of the ball (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 30, 16:41:32
  - Wouldn't make any difference if the chip WAS in the middle of the ball (Other Football) - Old Git, Jun 30, 17:08:58
    - Durr. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 30, 17:23:56
    - Fail. (n/m) (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:11:42

    - if you put two chips on opposite sides of the ball (Other Football) - matt in london, Jun 30, 17:12:52
      - No - Johnnycomecardiff did this one earlier. (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:16:30
        
        would this solve that problem? (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 30, 17:20:01
        
        Cor. I don't know. What if the ball is spinning as it goes into the net? (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:22:14
        
        ooh, good point about the spinning... (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 30, 17:27:42

    - In a way which is robust enough to withstand 90 minutes worth of Doherty standard hoof (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 16:56:07
      - so they say (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 30, 17:01:13
        
        Fair enough. If they reckon it'll do it. (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:08:15
        
        After the match the losing team would insist on the ball being dissected to check the (Other Football) - Old Git, Jun 30, 17:11:16
        
        Unless they implement my secondary chip idea as expressed. (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:17:58

    - The ball is full of air (Other Football) - jamesward, Jun 30, 16:52:40
      - I was thinking a series of fine filament threads, securing the chip (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:00:13

        Brilliant. I've been Myers-Briggsed and I didn't even notice. (n/m) (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:23:29
        
        worryingly (Other Football) - camcan, Jun 30, 17:31:45
        
        I bet sites like this are statistically significantly more attractive to INTPs (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:33:08
        
        I just did an online Myers-Briggs and came out as INTJ (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 17:41:09

        Would it be better than what we currently have? (n/m) (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 30, 17:01:05
- whole of the ball? (n/m) (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 30, 16:40:16
  - indeed. You just put the chip in the centre of the sphere (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 30, 16:43:38
    - how would you keep it in the middle of the ball? (n/m) (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 30, 16:45:17

      - well I dunno. But we've sent probes to the outer reaches of the solar system (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 30, 16:46:06
        
        That's easy though - you just strap them on top of a f***in great rocket, (Other Football) - CB41, Jun 30, 17:25:42
- Well, balls don't stay spherical, of course, but I doubt that's the problem. (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 30, 16:39:34
