Annoying litte gits

Options
that play football out the front of my house, use my hedge as the goal (which has resulted in that side the hedge being practically bare) and tbh its the last thing that i want after work is to come home and sit back and here the ball whacking against my car, my housemates car, the windows and whilst nothing has broken yet it soon will.

1) i've asked them many times not to play football there
2) I'm very tempted to park my car in front of the hedge to hopefully prevent them from playing there
3) or maybe just stab the bloody ball!

Any ideas?

    Nice Prickly Thorn Bush should do the trick ... if it doesn't burst the ball - then it should collect some skin :p

    They're outside playing football.

    Would you rather have this or them stir up trouble?

    Let them have their fun, stop being a whiney *****, its a bush GET OVER IT.

    When I was younger I could only go to the green across the road as other parks were too far away to play without parents, one bloke who lived on the green came out and stabbed out football. We then ****ed him off even more by purposly kicking the football at his house until he said sorry. He eventually did and gave us £10 to go and get a new football. We never disturbed him again.

    How about Lokolo you tell me where you live and I'll come and boot a football as hard as I can at your windows etc. I realise i sound abit of a meany but its annoying as fcuk and what happens when they break something...do i just say....'oh well those rascals, I'll let them off!'

    And its not just a hedge its an M & S hedge and thats not really the point whether its a hedge or not its my hedge and those gits shouldn't be damaging it!

    Indeed. And adults wonder why kids have nothing better to do than to stir up trouble drink and spit in the streets. Stop taking away their hobbies !!!!!!.

    How long have they played there for? Have they broken anything thus far?

    Want everyone to be happy? Start a petition to get a nearby park to play in... ever thought of that?

    I`m thinking that if you go out and play football with them they will all disappear, specially if you wear gearish clothes!
