Does getting hit stright in The face when Trevor Francis missed a penalty at the Loft end count as "catching it"?

There’s a poster on here who has the Bircham ball from the Brentford away game. It was smashed over the away end when we scored. I have the ball when we got promoted at Watford. That got smashed in the away end.

Where is the heading it back onto the field first time (Stoke home during Covid) option?

My mates 7hr old caught the ball in the SAR stand and I immediately grabbed it out of his hands and threw it back.

Not my finest moment, his dad still reminds me 15yrs later.

Happened regularly when I sat in the west paddock, most famous one was the day Joey Barton got sent off against Norwich, I had the hump, caught the ball and threw it quite hard back onto the pitch, it bounced off the top of the wall and smacked Elliot Bennet on the chin, 3000 canaries instantly gave me a chorus of “you fat bastard” one of the stewards informed me I could have been thrown out as it was no different to throwing a projectile onto the pitch!

My grandad caught the ball at that 0-0 against Brentford, last game of the season, early 00s, and gave it to me to throw on the pitch. Was well pleased!

I went to see Arsenal back in the day at Highbury with my brother and Charlie Nicholas caught me full in the chest with a wayward shot. So yes.

Robert Hazell nearly took my head off in the lower loft in 1981, with a clearance that defied logic given the ball was well on its way for a corner.

However, my best one was a cup match down at Torquay 22 December1999. The score was 3-2 to the Rangers (I know, a cup game) and we'd skied it nearly over Devon just as I was returning from a pre-departure gypsies. The ball came to me, so I trapped it, obviously, whereupon Norfolt Mel from the top o'the away end bellows, 'Planet, 'kin keep it!!!'

With an empty bladder and sensing the chance to etch my name in QPR cup glory, I played keepy-uppy behind the stand. Then a steward starts charging toward me with menace and I launched the ball towards Dorset! Sending the steward into apoplectic rage.

On some wiki sites you'll merely see, Torquay 2, QPR 3, goals: Wardley (2), Kiwomya but on others you'll also read: 90 +4 assist Planet.

Cup game (I think) v Luton in the Paddocks, caught on TV. Tim Breaker ( of all people) came charging towards me shouting "give me the f#@king ball" as they were down by a goal, so I threw it over his head!

This goes less well at cricket.

Inch-perfect throw back to Peter Ramage, in the days when he was a terrible full-back, not a half decent centre-half.

Threw it back to Simon Royce (I think) in a midweek defeat at Layer Road (Rowan Vine and Hogan Ephraim debuts from memory). What a rush.

Yes. I also have the match ball from the first game we went back up (2014/15) after it was booted into the crowd at the end. Hardly Maradona's shirt from 1986 but you can't have everything.

I caught the ball at an Aberdeen v Hibs midweeker at Pittodrie when I was about nineteen. I panicked, quickly threw the ball straight into the hands of the Aberdeen player who was asking for it, he took a quick throw, they raced up the pitch and almost scored. The bloke sitting along from me said, "Lucky for you they didnae score then, you stupid cun t". Which was fair enough.

Caught the ball at Llantwit Major v Enfield Town last year. Stayed composed and didn't instigate a quick counter attack for the opposition.

Joe Lumley managed to hit Mrs FB on the head and we are in row R South Africa Road. I think she got hit during the warm up in the cup match at Portsmouth too.
