No sign as of yet lads

[The_Green_Man]

Been sat looking up at the moon this evening with the camera as it is a very clear sky outside and I am currently in the process of being a mega sad barsteward.

Anyway I am sorry to have to break this to you but nearly 3 and a half years later and I am afraid to say that there is still no sign what so ever of Steve Simonsen's penalty returning to orbit.

I think we are just going to have to come to terms that this one isn't ever coming back i'm afraid!

Anyway feel free to play spot the ball with the following pic however I have examined it over and over again and can't see naff all.

It never will. It went beyond our gravitational pull and now just floats around somewhere, slowly heading towards the black hole that's swallowed £13m in two seasons.

What the fuck do you think is just about to go within 30,000 miles of one of Jupiter's moons?

 

[Bedrock Blade]

Has it really come to this?

Can footballs "hold water and extra-terrestrial life"? If so, someone might want to get onto NASA, stop them getting their hopes up.

If it made it to the earths atmosphere it would have been disintegrated.

Not saying your wrong or owt Steve but if this was fact, then why did this happen with the ball that Waddle sent into orbit for England?

I do not have the science to answer that.

We should be trying to figure out how on earth we went from leading by 2 penalties to a situation where our frigging GK had to score one to save the match.

Only the Blades.

I like to think that somewhere one day out in deep space it will collide with the ball that Petr Kachouro sent into space during the Coventry shoot out in 1998.

The resulting explosion will be like the Big Bang in reverse.

It landed amongst the Huddersfield fans, no wonder you can't find it...

Simmos pen beat the Voyager space probe to be the first man made object to cross into interstellar space.

It's recently been photographed by Hubble falling into the (relatively) new black hole found in S2, it will never be seen again along with all the millions of pounds that seem to have also disappeared in there. An American expat, working out of the Saudi interstellar bog roll research station has been quoted as saying 'quantum dynamics are very difficult to understand, just like the game of soccer, we relied on our Turkish partners to keep an eye on this ball'. He goes on ( and on) about learning from mistakes, faith in his team and he hopes to discover a new formula for future direction of travel.

Tilt thee scoop up TGM, it's still rising.....

Current speculation from NASA is that the ball on the moon, is in fact Waddle's ball as you say, but it was Simmo's ball that put it there!

The massive amount of thrust that Simmo put into his kick meant that as his ball reached cloud level, it was already breaking the sound barrier, at the same time, ironically, Waddles ball was actually falling back to earth. The sonic boom from Simmo's ball, was like an advancing hurricane, which blew Waddle's ball of course, at 90 degrees, sending it towards the moon, as Simmo's ball rocketed out of earth's atmosphere, and set off on it's never ending journey into deep space.

Luckily, the space station managed to capture this incident on film. See below, Waddle's ball is highlighted in red, see the sonic boom blow it of course, as Simmo's ball hurtles out. As a nice touch, highlighted in green, you can see Roberto Baggio's ball, from the infamous 1994 world cup penalty shoot out, which can sometimes be seen, on a clear night, with the naked eye.

I believe this is actually Waddles world cup penalty, we have a long time yet until our steve's catches that up.
