36 balls, and still no-one can score...

From the UK Sun...

AN FA Cup game grinds to a halt after pranksters throw 36 balls on to the pitch.

Play in Walsall's match at Macclesfield last night had to be suspended for a few minutes when the brightly-coloured balls were lobbed from outside the ground over the roof of a stand.

Kids from a nearby estate were blamed for the jape 55 minutes into the televised first round match.

Ex-England ace Paul Ince, boss of League Two strugglers Macclesfield, joked: "They will come in handy. We've only got about eight for practice sessions."

Despite the extra balls no one could score and the match ended 0-0.
